I know this seem like nothing to you but if you target the muscles properly really keep that firm control that is when it targets it of course this wont give full on biceps but it will tone your arms 😅
@@prithvisukka9271 nope, it just squeezes but because there is no resistance it doesnt actually do anything. Its like tensing up your arm. Youll feel it but it wont be trained
As an extremely skinny weak dude. "Dumb excercises" like these really helped me get to those first couple baby steps. It helped me a lot. Now I can bicep curl 75lbs... If it doesn't work for you, move on...
I find it hard to believe anyone could not even have curled 1kg. If you were unable to curl even a single kg then you should probably seek medical help first
@grimreaper9049 I had faced several medical conditions before. As many people have. These videos are just bullying people who are unable to fit inside the status quo.
omg same i do ballet and mainly rely on my leg and core strength but recently i am competing with my junior to get all As in our napfa test and i dont want to lose to her 😭
@@Emslife12 ooo thats so cool!! also strength is more required for ballet than flexibility lolll, thats a common misconception but its understandable :))
Yall do know this is pilates it's for muscular endurance not muscle building. This made for people who have weak muscular endurance and helps increase muscular strength when u use weights
This is actually a very effective workout, the only things you could change to maximize your results are to widen your arms so they're parallel and hold a weighted barbell as you curl
Hi, physiotherapist here. Please understand that not everyone has the same capacity as a beginner in exercising. The main goal for this type of exercise is control and muscle activation, which targets both biceps and pecs, and more on the red muscle fibers. my only issue is probably the part that she edited it in a way that it gives you bulkier muscles (if regularly done it may result to a more lean upper arm), and that she didn't do the full range of motion that will maximize the results. Still, I wouldn't call the exercise useless.
this does absolutely nothing for pecs lmao. and no, doing this "regularly" will not result in leaner upper arms. losing bodyfat and getting leaner will. you cannot spot reduce fat, especially with a movement like this.
@@TheLiberalPanda youre speaking for yourself, but not for everyone of every body build. My arms are probably one of the weakest parts of my body and just putting my elbows together gave me a stretch in my shoulders. Holding my arms up like that for a pd of time and raising my hands up+down actually does create a minor burn in my muscles, and i only did 20 of them. Going from no fitness at all to doing exercises like this probably will make a change, and probably will tone me. If you lift weights something different will work for you but you cant say its absolutely useless just because you go to the gym and youre familiar w fitness. She obviously isnt instructing body builders she's probably instructing the average person, and we mean actually average not average gym goer. Certain audience
@@TheLiberalPanda you actually are saying this without trying this. I have and yes it does help. People are speaking from experience so if things don't work for you then move
@@blankblank5231 she claimed that the exercise targets the biceps; you said that you fell your shoulders burning (because you held your arm up for a long time, obviously). This just shows that she lied. You could aswell just hold your arms up without any movement.
consider: -beginners exist -not everyone has the same fitness or physique goals as you -not everyone wants to lift weights and may prefer different workouts like pilates -how someone else exercises really doesn’t affect you at all
I think you're confused, the point is that it won't give any muscle gain, and she's is basically making false claims because this type of exercise isn't ment for muscle gain.
It doesn’t do anything because he isn’t doing it the way she said to. You press your elbows together and keep pressing as you move your arms up and down it creates resistance and uses your strength to create a “weight”! And for people who are just starting out it does help. Especially if you are considerably overweight this will help a lot. The fact that he’s belittling her and using it to promote himself is gross. People looking to her for fitness are not his demographic nor is he theirs.
Her arms are actually exactly what her target demographic wants their arms to look like. So showing off those biceps are actually a pretty effective thing to do. (despite the fact that the workout itself is bullshit)
Guys Pilates is not body building💀 Pilates is great for when you’re injured or if you’re a dancer and yes, it builds muscle, improves mobility, and flexibility
Then why was she flexing her bicep , showing it is gonna get her big . I am not saying this is a bad “exercise” but she she isn’t advertising this correctly
@@FemoidsGTFO her account name is literally blogilates lol pilates is in the name. if you want to build muscles and you go to a pilates channel, maybe you need some more critical thinking skills
Sorry, but several videos on her channel refer to hypertrophy, this is clearly seen in the titles "how to get bigger thighs", "how to grow your butt". Most of the exercises are practically useless and this is clearly seen in her 10 year result. She has changed practically nothing.
@@ЦветомирИванов-т8ь Yeah a friend of mine ordered one of those. He is a newbie, i told him it wont work squat. Maybe at the BEST it is going to contract your absand they will look mildly better for the next 20 minutes. Then they will get back to normal, but he is stubborn and bought. At least it was a 75% sale 🤷♂️ Edit: also where areyou from mate? That name sounds alwfully Bulgarian.
I love how the three rounds weren’t even attempted. Pilates is a legitimate form of exercise the same way yoga is. Both CAN be used to build muscle. If you are beyond that point, it can still be utilized.
@@roberte289 I did shit like this for a month (of course with many different exercises, would last 15 to 60 minutes) and while it doesn't build up alot of muscles, it tones them and you also gain endurance. At first, I didn't really notice anything, but one time I had to run from the car to the 4th floor to grab my luggage and ran back, and I wasn't out of breath at all. So, I guess if your fitness level is zero or like in my case, you've stopped working out regularly, it can be great. (Tbh I did it HIIT style)
@@Moonlight_Shad0w I dont really understand what is meant by "toning" a muscle to be honest. Thats good though, certainly doesnt surprise me that going from doing little or no exercise to moving a lot more improved your general fitness! Wouldnt expect to see much change in muscle mass after a month even with the phenomenon of beginner gains regardless of what type of exercise you were doing.
@@roberte289 please seriously try it first before you judge. And put your arms high enough. I bet you can’t even touch your elbows at that height. It’s not as easy as it looks like.
@@Tara-ow1rv ive tried it. I can start the movement with my elbows together but my anatomy prevents me from keeping them together when i extend my arms. Whether I could touch my elbows together at any point or not wouldnt tell us very much about how effective the exercise is though. Being "hard" isnt specific enough. I was a little surprised at how quickly my shoulders started to feel fatigued. I think I could probably grind out 50+ reps though so for my strength and hypertrophy goals it probably wouldnt be very beneficial to me.
This routine ain't gonna tone you up, it ain't gonna burn extra calories, it ain't gonna build endurance (like c'mon) and it ain't gonna build muscles (i know this isn't your priority, but it takes very little common sense to understand she made the video just for wiews)
@@download8540 This exercise is clearly not meant for you. This is meant for people with muscle loss meaning they have a more difficult time working out because they don’t have that much muscle and if they do all these progressive overloading exercises, they’re going to injure themselves they have to start with weightless exercises like these. If you had any common sense, you’d realize that not every exercise is made for everyone and if you think that these exercises won’t tone you, they won’t because they’re not meant for you, these work for different types of people a.k.a. not you.
@@Nkm11122this is meant for pt patients. That’s it. If you can use your arm in any way, shape, or form this is useless. A lot of her Pilates workouts are legit, but this was a miss. And I can absolutely tell you she did not feel any kind of burn from that considering her muscle size.
As someone with hyper mobility who’s been to PT off and on through the years I can confirm that exercises like this do help. Small precise and controlled movements can really bring into affect the way your body moves and shifts as you age. It’s almost like a muscle memory kind of thing. Closest thing I can place to it is Pilates.
I did this girls videos, the arm was a killer. Maybe for people who already have substantial muscle these exercises don’t do anything but for women who aren’t bulky they do a lot actually. All her workouts have made me burn like crazy and I’m sore for days.
They do literally nothing in terms of building strength or muscle. The only thing this does is cause a buildup of lactic acid in your muscles which causes the burning sensation. This will do nothing to benefit you in any way
Guys, it’s not always about the “muscle. For some people (including me), it’s for the strength and movement range. I do pilates and i can confirm these work
"I can confirm these work" what exactly you mean by that??? Please elaborate because I've been reading about skeletal and muscle anatomy for almost 6 years and i see nothing in this exercise that helps else than 70y olds or people who survived crashes.
It’s pilates. It’s mostly for toning the body if I’m not mistaken. It won’t make you ripped. Maybe realize there’s more than one way to exercise and that people have a variety of different goals when they workout.
Toning is just another word for loosing fat, considering their are tons of other ways that are way more effective to loosing fat this stuff is utterly useless and a waist of time. Unless ur doing physical therapy or your 80 years old these exercises are miss leading.
Do you're research there is no reason to do this there's no resistance or progressive overload all you're doing is reapedetly flexing you're arms it's a decent stretch but it will not build muscle
@@GirlsRscaryFrFrhave you actually tried it, and how much muscle do you have? when i tried it, it actually burned, and i have about as much muscle as she does. you’re not curling zero weight, you’re curling the weight of your arms.
@@celetial3287 I have it gives a burn but it achieves nothing all you're doing is flexing you're muscles without any resistance I have a decent amount of muscle and I don't do stupid shit like this I actually do progressive overload so stfu
It is so crazy to me how everyone is dragging her down, not having had to even try the exercise to begin with. I’ve been doing cassie’s workout videos for a couple years and I can say, these work. They are included in complete arm workouts and the overall video really work and tone your body. She has changed my life, honestly, and I find it so disappointing that people still tear eachother down like this. What works for u works for u, what doesn’t doesnt, period.
Exactly, I have fairly strong arms & you definitely begin to shake while doing them after all the hard moves that you’ve just completed. People knock down pilates without even trying it, they say it’s so “weak”; It’s always hilarious to watch them try & fail miserably after a few minutes though.
@@sanazlol7433 I know, it is insane. Even cassie herself always says that they should try pilates first instead of judging it. Pilates can be quite hard and some of her workouts i can’t even finish still after working out for 2 years 😂😂
Yeah but man with muscles in place of brain won't listen because it would hurt their ego if they tried to understand that people are different with different goals and abilities
That’s blogilates, she’s very genuine, kind and she focuses on wellness through Pilates. Exercises like that aren’t for you, it’s for beginningers and I imagine it could help people with physical health problems strengthen their muscles gradually. Just because you don’t have a need for something doesn’t mean it shouldn’t exist.
@@bourisb24yearsago11 simple movements like that with some tension from a exercise band is exactly how I did the physiotherapy for my fucked shoulder after an accident
@@bourisb24yearsago11 med student here. It is useful. Especially for people with physical conditions. And it also helps improve your range of motion its more of a stretch to get you started. It is also useful for those who recently dislocated their shoulders because it helps apply light strain on the muscles near the shoulder. Try it and extend ur arm slightly more each time. Keep ur elbows together whilst curling in front of you is roughly the equivalent of 5kg to 480 kg depending how far you extend. Try it i guarantee u cant fully extend ur arms without seperating your elbows.
These actually help me a lot. It’s not for if you’re trying to build up a lot of muscle. It’s to keep your muscles active and help them recover. It’s the reason this is done by old people and people recovering from injuries. It keeps your muscles moving. I was forced to be inactive for a long time and lost a lot of strength in my arms. To the point they shake something from only a little pressure. These help me build up the base muscle so I can actually move onto building more muscle if that’s what I want.
I mean thats fair, but the claim that this will make you gain muscle mass is (mostly) false, which is probably what most people are annoyed by. Im glad these exercises help people stay active
the situation in this comment is very clearly not the point of her tiktok and pretending they're comparable is disingenuous. glad to hear physical therapy worked for you, but you can't do resistance training without resistance
This may not build muscle but she built my confidence to get into a gym in the first place.... Without her i wouldn't have found my love of activity. Ppl like her are meant for beginners that are intimidated by the gym crowd or have never worked out.
She could do better to advertise herself as a stepping stone to effective exercise. Thats a positive result but videos like these are still misleading.
@@roberte289 eh idk, i didnt watch her videos thinking, "this is just the begining". I went in thinking they were challenging and maybe by some placebo effect i saw some progress but i wanted more and eventually youtube algorithm takes you there. Idk how i went from her to powerlifting but the people that want to acheive more will get there. Some people are happy the way they are and thats ok. But eventually my own curiosity took me elsewhere.
@@nataliearciniega2103 that's because you had an innate desire to progress. If someone showed you an actual effective workout and u didn't quit u would prolly be even further ahead. Other people who may want to see some activity will get the wrong idea of fitness and think that they are making a change with these bs workouts
Squats are using your body as a load..this is using nothing Which is fine if you're really out of shape and very weak. This just feels like some "new secret" exercise for views.
I have, and this doesn't. There's no progressive overload, so how do you expect it to do something. The only people that actually utilise this are people who can't even lift 5 lbs, which is a very rare case. @JUliAna-2.70
I’m so glad to see most people are on her side on this one! This is probably the same type of gym bro as the guys who when I started training for a 5k run would say “oh but a 5k is easy, no one needs to train for that lol” which is SO discouraging if you’re actually starting out as a beginner only being able to run like 5-10 minutes at a time at best
Thats a pretty dumb and ignorant thing to say to someone. I would have to train for 2k. Everybody has to start somewhere and if this helps you thats great. However that doesnt mean that criticism of this particular exercise and the explicit or implicit claims made about it in the video arent valid
I hate that!! I remember when I was first starting out running, I was talking about doing a 5k so I have something to look forward to and my friend told me 5ks are a waste of money
@@jR0xas lol I’m not sure why you feel personally insulted by this, I never said this was all gym bros. I’m aware a lot of them are nice and supportive, but there is a certain subset who is not, that’s all…
Not everyone needs to lift heavy weights. I study physiotherapy and this is a perfectly fine exercise for someone who is weak or working on endurance. Body weight is fine!
Also the video is without explanation. And normally she does explain the exercices. And she can show just her arms. So it isn't that bad she shows the part of the arm where it will work oqut just because she herself have bigger muscles there
If it wasn't for the fact that this is not an exercise at all... body weight exercise are things like push ups, squats, pull ups, crunches, lunges, calves raises, calves lunchers; THOSE requier a hell lot of endurance to perform; people who are into calisthenics are usually not THAT strong, but they are probably the healthiest and they are true athletes. I think that the only people who could find that idiotoc exercises usefull are 80 years-old people who just woke up from a 5 years coma
My grandma does these exercises in physio to build her strength. If the doctors think it works..... Not everyone is after muscles and looks, most of us just want our bodies to work well.
You know... I watched this and thought, "he is right, that arm workout doesn't seem like it would do anything..." Then I tried it, and I definitely feel it. For me it seemed to work nicely, and I workout regularly. But everyone is different.
@@KAAMAAL194 do you know how stupid you sound from just reading this entire argument? the other person is just clearly saying its just an instinct bruh... you dont feel it then okay no one is forcing you to do exercises to the point that you feel anything. But feeling your muscles that are working is nearly equivalent from feeling emotions from your brain 💀 do you feel your brain working when you think while commenting? i doubt any of us feels it but only when it hurts it's shitty... just like when our muscles are working...
Did you know that just because you feel a muscle doesn't mean it's doing something? You can flex your pinkie but that's not going to make it stronger, better, faster or anything besides you know, flexing. Feeling is not a reliable gauge for doing something productive. Otherwise I would be currently in mars because I can sometimes feel like I fly but guess what? I ain't flying.
As someone who works in physical rehabilitation, these exercises are great for people who have decreased endurance and strength! Props to her for demonstrating exercises that can help increase mobility and endurance for all people.
Hahaha she's a professional bullshiter, she's giving the worst instructions i've ever seen to do anything remotely useful in any type shape or form, i'm a professionnal in self defense and professionnal training instructor go to a real gym or dojo and pay yourself a real coach with medals trophies and top level athletes under him if you want to really get to greatness, but you can still stay on the internet and just be weak and unsuccesful.
That may be true but she’s making it seem like it’s a great alternative to weighted movements. She should just say it’s for people who’ve never exercise or people in physical rehab

@@karthikdnd im not sure if you're asking a question but just in case you are: i think "stage 3 AR" in the original comment means rheumatoid arthritis, which is a long-term autoimmune disorder that primarily affects joints. stage 3 means that it's considered to be severe. while a lot of people have physical therapy to help with injuries, a lot of chronically ill or otherwise disabled people do physio therapy as part of their management of the symptoms :-)
I do a burn set of 50 of these after a session of vertical plate presses for chest. I'm not seeing gains yet, but I've only been training for 3 years and I know it takes time.
To a person weighing 500 or 600 lbs believe me, being able to do this will not only be A WORKOUT but also a great achievement. Once their mobility improves and they slowly start getting healthier they might consider adding resistance. Same goes to people in rehabilitation after surgery, injury or anything of that sort. It's not nice to diss anybody's health journey just because they have different goals to yours. Reactions like these are what keep so many people away from exercise/gyms and afraid to start their health journey because of people being judgemental or making fun of them. Still wish you the best as well as anybody else on this journey! I started mine 2 weeks ago and very slowly I'm starting to feel stronger.
Exactly. Back in May I had a tumor removed from stomach which left behind a 10" scar. My doctors told me to not lift more than 5 lbs. A few months later I got back into the gym. I decided to give 8 lbs a try, so 16 in total. My ex actually laughed at the small amount I had. This actually kind of hurt my feels and I had to remind him that I really shouldn't lifting any thing over 10-20 lbs. I didn't make fun of him for being unable to lift the amount the guy next to us could or the fact that even after my surgery, I could lift him who was 180lbs at the time. Yet he had been working out of and couldn't lift me who was 170 at the time.
If you create tension in pressing your forearms together this can absolutely be a good movement. Weightless often means focus on stabilization, not strength. Different people have different goals, your goals being different doesn’t make the exercise bad :)
She teaches Pilates and these moves may look like nothing but you definitely feel it in the morning! They work. Cassie has changed a lot of peoples lives with her videos.
@@theocurtis02 it's about getting used to the movement and the mind muscle connection, and someone who is extremely sedentary would feel it. Women tend to start exercising more intensely later in life and we all have to start somewhere.
@@theocurtis02 then yall don't flex your arms when doing curls lol you only feel it because you have weight. You have to flex hard in order to feel these nonweight exercises. Stop being dummies, a little research would dothe work
@NOOB KING - Roblox Bedwars Content the form is too keep your elbows together which means your back kuscles are applying resistance. Also curling half is fine for beginners and sides which its physically impossible to go significantly further then half without seperating your elbows. You can try yourself. I can easily deadlift 2.6x my weight or bench 2.1x and i can barely break 110 degrees and i feel it at 90.
You’re not supposed to do it that fast whatsoever, It’s intended to be a slow burn & is great for beginners. Pilates is really fucking great for beginners. Plus it helps a ton with building your core strength.
I agree. For someone who always only sit in front of the laptop with almost 0 muscle like me, I definitely feel the strain after trying this. Any kind of workout shouldn't be looked down on, just like the exercise that super obese people needs is only something as light as literally walking a few steps around the room. And he couldn't feel it because he's literally already too bulky. He couldn't even lift his arms higher like the woman, which makes this exercise harder to do.
@@roberte289 Not really, I have a handful of friends who wanted to get into fitness but had zero background in it & generally had really weak muscles. They started pilates & it worked wonders for ‘em.
I love that people are supporting her. I understand that to you she's not doing anything but for people like me who needs to start exercising again due to an injury she's wonderful
I think people are missing the point of Sean's criticism here. Another youtuber too pointed this out- it's not the exercise that they are against but what she's marketing them as that they find misleading. She claims to market this as a biceps building exercise which in the opinion of these guys is incorrect. They aren't saying that these are outright useless exercises, but that these exercises aren't going to to build bigger biceps. They're against what she's marketing them as, not the exercises themselves. Analyse the video before you jump to conclusions, lads. Pilates isn't useless but how you sell them is important if you're a content creator.
I mean I don't think she's saying itll get you jacked... Just tone those areas. Also I just tried the exercise, and did NOT expect it to burn like it did? ... I think key is to keep elbows together.
@@FIRING_BLIND your arms burning after the exercise doesn't mean that it was actually effective at building muscle. Nor will it "tone your arms." As it won't build the biceps nor can you spot reduce fat.
Wild how “we” refers to out of shape people who think they know more than him + don’t realize that by using any weight they would achieve the same result 10x faster
You arent gonna become the hulk just cause you lifted weights for 2 seconds mate. All youre doing is making an excuse for your laziness and significantly slowing down your progress
@Cartoonloca lifting weights is only a stimulus You need to get a lot of protein, sleep, and train close to failure. Even then, muscle growth is so gradual it takes years to build a lot of muscle . If at any point you want to stop building muscle stop training to failure and focus on strength training. There no point where you get too bulky unless you want to by taking drugs and doing the stuff previously mentioned
As someone with a fractured wrist this actually helps me when I can't lift weights or anything over 5lbs. It DOES help with toning but no one said you'd gain muscle from it Edit: where did I say you can spot reduce fat? I didn't? Exactly, don't bring it up.
@@Zyna-0 no dear, "toning" is putting the muscle under tension. A toned muscle just means that the fibers counteract the load that you're subjecting them to. You don't want to have constantly "toned" muscles because it's f*cking painful.
He has a point hypertrophy-wise. But we have to acknowledge she is a pilates teacher, not a hypertrophy bodybuilder and her exercise is for muscle endurance, not muscle growth.
when will you realise that lifting weights isnt the only way to 'work out' ? yea, it doesnt build massive muscle, but it rlly trains your muscle endurance and flexibility. as a dancer, pilates is amazing because it helps build control for executing movements cleanly and quickly. so unless youve tried doing her workouts, dont talk shit. pilates isnt easy.
It is the only way. Working out is all about growing muscle, getting stronger and lifting weights. What's your problem with facts? I can see that you are a butthurted fan from tiktok. Just please stay there with your missinformation club.
@@temegron6695 yeah sure you may look and become very strong by building massive muscle through intense weight lifting but losing the ability to do very basic movements is something im not willing to compromise. im not criticizing you guys for working out the way you want. its your body and you get to choose what to do with it. i dont have the right to dictate that. it becomes a problem when you push a very subjective opinion and viewpoint onto other people without actually being considerate or knowledgeable on the subject.
Not everyone has the same goals as you. Her Focus is all about breathing/coordination/mobility/balance. Yes it will do nothing for building muscle but these are not ment for people who arent interested in the fields above.
Well if we assume im somebody without much prior knowledge of those things then yes, that would be helpful. If you already know all about it then theres no need to watch her videos, unless you just like em. Im sure she actually does talk about them in some other videos though.
@@hevelin8468 Oh now I get it. The language she used seemed to imply that the exercise was intended to increase muscle and spot reduce fat, but since its pilates I was supposed to infer that in actuality it was about coordination and mobility.
Seeing all of the positive comments and feedback about this lady and her exercises makes me really happy. I am definitely going to visit her channel and try out some of her videos. Pilates and other exercises which aren't necessarily high impact are perfect to do to pass the time!
Honestly, her videos helped me build up endurance when I tried working out for the first time in years. I don't want her videos so much now, but for someone who had low endurance and had been out of shape for some time, her videos really helped me ease back into regular exercise, and build to more longer effective work outs for what I want to do. I'm not into pilates, but they were just what I needed to get back into the mindset
This is something very similar to what we did in ballet strength training. The majority of women aren’t aiming to build bulky muscle, we want to tone and condition our existing muscle. Tiny repeated movements, even with no weight and resistance, tone, strengthen, condition and BURN!! The amount of boys who would be crying after their 200th tiny movement. We all have different goals for our bodies, why are you shitting on something for not contributing to your goals… when it was never targeted at ur goal? That’s like saying bananas are so full of carbs and won’t help your body get into ketosis, that’s great, but bananas are really healthy in other peoples diets.

@@tashdash5241 if you google "the myth of toning muscle" or something similar you should find some good articles explaining why toning as you understand and think about it doesnt really accurately describe whats happening to your body or how to achieve it.
So true, we once switched girls and boys gym classes in school. Boys usually played soccer for 2x45 minutes versus girls usually did some sort of circle training or Pilates or aerobic. At first all the boys joked about how easy this would be. Come next day they weren’t able to move bc then were so sore.
Please don’t shame her. It’s Pilates. Her TH-cam videos helped me when I had eating disorder and I was not strong enough to lift from having no muscle, and was afraid to go to gym because I was ashamed of myself
I don’t understand how someone can be such a hater… I love her, she was the one that got me into exercising and becoming more fit. Just because you like to be huge and buff doesn’t mean everyone does 🙄
Lmao she literally said "Weightless bicep Curls" and that shit is a muscle building exercise. These soft ass people in the comments are saying "its for strength, flexibility, movement, motion, and mind muscle connection." Like bro its target is muscle, she even hit us with the bicep flex. I assure you that it wont build any significant muscles and strength just cause you can feel it, the only way to make that shit work is to add weight or resistance band.
She is a great coach I love her workout vids but she doesn't really do many muscles growing targeted trainings! Her workouts are more for people who just want to stretch, tone their body but without going too far, or beginner friendly workouts! I really like her, she's positive and really motivating
You can't go to far you have a genetic limit where your strength caps out the only reason you see big bulky dudes is because they are on steroids building muscle isn't easy at all hit the gym
She is attracting a different audience. The exercise is effect for muscle endurance and some toning. It is clear you already have bulky muscles, so it won’t be effective to you. Hating on someone and their passion is wrong when you don’t look into the exercise or educate yourself further into the field. Not everyone wants bulky muscles, some may just want to tone their body. That’s why Pilates is so popular for toning muscle. She did nothing wrong, don’t hate or mock on her passion and work. Even is this was a comedic joke, it is better to clarify.
He's literally a fitness coach, this excercise is not "for other people" it's a useless excercise, it won't tone your arms or do literally fucking anything. If there were to be any effect you would have to do like 1000 reps. Also he's not saying everyone needs to be huge but there is literally no point for anyone to curl 0 weight.
As has been said, even giving a 2lb weight or something, ANYTHING in your arms when you do that would be far better. You aren't going to get toned, or anything by doing less than an absolutely insane amount of those. It's just not even worth trying to do. Weight is necessary to increase strength and actually make something like that a workout, even a small amount of weight but weight none the less
@@benchoflemons398 🤣🤣 They really said "toning" 😶🔫 Tbh, its people who say toning that id love to sit down with and slowly let them down by telling them "toning" is a word used by influencers and Shit so called "Fitness instructors" who have no fucking clue without a single proper Qualification within the fitness industry 😂....then id proceed to properly educate them.
my grandfather who doesnt use weights just puts some intense pressure in his musle(like u are arm wrestling someone) like he is doing a bicep curl and he has got decent muscles accord to his age so technically lifting air works lmao it depends on how much pressure u put. so yes but no
Pilates actually helped me gain the muscle strength I needed after suffering thyroid problems and couldn't exercise enough, causing me to lose strength in the grip, my balance, and body coordination overall. Plus! Pilates are usually low or no impact at all, perfect for my other with-thyroid-problems peeps as well, both hyper and hypo! Also, post surgery/post pill, pilates is the best exercise to get back on track!
She doesn't say her content is for that kind of conditions tho and that's the problem. She passe this off like something that is for all humans when in reality any healthy person will find this exercise as useful for weightloss as eating cake
I came her to say something similar. I’m gaining HELLA MUSCLE it’s making my entire musculoskeletal system better able to support my body whereas before I started I was in chronic pain all the time, had shitty balance and was stiff like an elderly person. I mean really bad. Now I’m picking up adult men in my arms and walking around w them. Pilates goes craaazy. Juice heads just wanna complain about something outside of their lane
@@bambitoelafaki6036 it is perfectly effective to use Pilates for weightloss idk why y’all think you have to OD on everything. You work out so hard you don’t even realize a lot of it is extra. Pilates is just using your own body for weight. That’s it. It’s still gonna work you out. It’s not intended to juice you up it’s going to make you just a little more strong than you need to be to do day to day things at-rest.
They're beginner exercises. I did alot of blogilaties workouts when I was younger and up until end of 6th grade, progressively working up to her harder workouts. They help teach muscle control, flexibility, cordination, and strength. Also, doing multiple 10min workouts was mentally easier than doing a commited 50 min workout. I recommend blogilaties to anyone getting into working out because she's very positive.
the beginner curl weight is like 5 to 15 pounds and 2.5 if u are a small child if u are lower then that then jesus u have to be checked by the doctor or something
@@DanielRoPhotosshe's a supreme grifter. Watch out of her sessions and then go out to the real world where pilates trainers and yoga trainers who doesn't promote themselves on TH-cam/Instagram you will notice the social influencer trainers are grifters. Either they exercises outside of their speciality or they are having cosmetic surgery.
For sure but if you can already perfectly control your arms this is useless and there's countless more effective movements for pretty much anything you want to achieve. Bigger muscles and strength=High intensity (big weights) curls, endurance (also "toning")=high volume low weight curls
@@Ho_Lii_Fuk I love that you start by saying "if you can perfectly move/control your arms". After an accident, you can't, for months and months. Physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Or for old people or people recovering from sickness. It's not all about building muscle, extreme strength or endurance. If you've never lost mobility then you cannot even imagine what it's like for your own arm or leg to be heavy for you or taking 5 steps is exhausting.
Doubt it, Sean has been in the fitness industry for almost two decades now. He knows a whole lot more than most fitness influencers/instructors, including her..
Just because you have 'qualifications' that doesn't change that nothing she's doing is putting the biceps under load, which is what causes muscular hypertrophy. An appeal to authority isn't an effective argument when debating the efficacy of what is being said
I know this video was made with no ill-intent but it's just so demotivational and no research was put into it. These exercises can be good for people who may be struggling to make gains initially due to the lack of muscle or too much fat.
No adult is so weak that they can't curl 5 lbs dumbells, at the minimum. Unless you've been through some sort of an accident, I don't see the point of this.

You're wrong on this one, Sean. Cassie's audience is mainly women who aren't bodybuilders. For someone with little arm muscle who would struggle with weights, this is a great exercise.
isometrics and curling air are different. isometric would be curling an immovable dumbbell what she was doing was curling a dumbbell that doesn't exist.
Yeah pilates was invented by someone in the military looking to maintain strength in recovery/breaks, not exactly for the guy with protein powder on hand, let alone access to any gym equipment
Oh please. I have been doing her workouts for a long time. They are meant for toning, mobilty and endurance, not muscle building. As a dancer, blogilates videos have helped me immensely.
I mean yeah you’re a dancer, and dancers are supposed to be agile and flexible which this workout may help with. But saying that it gains muscle is kind of a understatement. Especially when you have the goal to get bigger muscles this is just a ineffective way for muscle growth
Lifting weights is really good for endurance idfk what lifting a bit of air does, further more doing like 20 reps of lifting weights will produce some muscle and therefore some strength
This is demagogy as its peak. You may have been doing her workouts for a long time, it doesn’t mean this video in particular isn’t a fraud. Doing low weight curls, like 1kg, or low resistance band curls will help you a thousand times more than this. It will literally help you much better for toning and endurance. Up to you to choose a almost useless exercise, or actually doing one that will have much better results in a way shorter period of time.
I will admit that some of blogilates stuff won’t give the same results as lifting weights but her work is really good for building endurance and I like the pace of her work. You focus on breathing and slowing down at times. Not everything needs to be about looking bulk when sometimes you just prefer different ways to move.
@@Skrambled3ggs i don’t think that’s what he meant. He said “that’s enough for today” to show how ridiculous it was to him because obvsiouly he lifts weights and doing her excercise really doesn’t do much unless he was doing it for a longer period of time.
@@Skrambled3ggs no, he was pointing out the ridiculousness, but also how would he have even known if it worked from doing it for less than a second? let alone a full session?
I love how trainer blame her for encouraging people to move 🤦🏻♀️ like have you ever tried one of her Pilates work outs? No? Try it and come back. Is this going to give you muscles gain? No? Is Cassy promoting something harmful? No. She is helping people to get into moving their bodies and gaining confidence. And people blame her and other female TH-camr who are giving free work out ideas. P.s Cassy is a certificated Pilates instructor.
Shes promoted spot reducing fat before which is pretty harmful 🤷♀️ also misleading people by making it look like these exercises give you visible biceps is not necessarily harmful but pretty scummy.
@@haileyjarmon1876 she's promoting pilates. Also, she says that exercise targets those muscles, which it does. Targeting a certain muscle does not mean making that muscle huge. Targeting means engaging.
@@roberte289 instead of going off of an implclication, the onus is then on the person to do their research or actually watch her content to know the benefits. Me, doing some base research into fitness and specifically pilates, took her action to mean she was targeting that area. The more you know
So I tried it, and it actually works! I felt the heat in my muscles! You just have too big muscles preventing you from raising your hand to the right position as she does 🤣
Nah man... it's not because his muscles are too big, it's because this is straight up bullshit. I tried and I literally felt just a very very very very small resistence on pecs and shoulders because of where gravity was pulling the resistence and because I was keeping my chest in a constant squeeze position. You feel that this crap is working, than it's just YOUR problem
@@emanuelegaddi3545 have you read the other comments? It's not bull, it does help those with disabilities or injuries, and it also helps get beginners started on their fitness journey. If you're none of those, then ofc it wont help because you're more advanced and have moved on to harder things. But that doesn't mean it's bull, it works for its target audience and bc you're not the target audience, it's not going to work for you.
@@gdaym8y I agree that it can help people with injuries or disabled people, I actually think that it can really help those who woke up from a coma, but saying that this will build muscles?? This is straight up false information. And even for beginners this won't help, simply because it's just you performing the movment that the biceps are designed to do without any resistence, you basically already do that in your everyday life
Has anyone told you feeling “heat in your muscles” means absolutely nothing ? You can literally stand there and flex any muscle in your body for extended time and feel “heat”. It won’t make you stronger or give you bigger muscles. If it did people wouldn’t lift weights they would just sit in front of a mirror and pose for an hour
I suffer from extreme chronic pain and slowly lost my ability to be active, and had all but given up on having a toned body before pilates. These exercises improved both my health and my body image, and they weren't causing me extreme pain. This one in particular I would recommend because it helped me build a huge chunk of arm strength back when I was at my weakest.
But it is a basic strength or minor toning move that increases mobility, not muscle size or necessarily strength once someone has reached or recovered to their most base abilities and physical comfort. Congrats on recovering BTW, it's always a good story to hear
@@ДімаКрасько-с7м I'm 24 years old and 130 pounds. I used to be heavier but with the health problems I've been experiencing, eating is extremely difficult so keeping myself energized and full is a challenge for sure. It's part of why working out is so difficult.
Because not everyone has the same goals and capabilities as you, Sean!!! This is a really effective physiotherapy exercise that helps keep my joints stable with my Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and it would also help beginners get used to correct form and repetition before moving onto weights that might hurt them. Not everyone goes into the gym trying to do the highest numbers possible and make themselves as big as possible, get the biggest pump possible. Some of us are just trying to get/stay healthy.

Hi, physiotherapist here. Please understand that not everyone has the same capacity as a beginner in exercising. The main goal for this type of exercise is control and muscle activation, which targets both biceps and pecs, and more on the red muscle fibers.
my only issue is probably the part that she edited it in a way that it gives you bulkier muscles (if regularly done it may result to a more lean upper arm), and that she didn't do the full range of motion that will maximize the results. Still, I wouldn't call the exercise useless.
this does absolutely nothing for pecs lmao. and no, doing this "regularly" will not result in leaner upper arms. losing bodyfat and getting leaner will. you cannot spot reduce fat, especially with a movement like this.
@@TheLiberalPanda youre speaking for yourself, but not for everyone of every body build. My arms are probably one of the weakest parts of my body and just putting my elbows together gave me a stretch in my shoulders. Holding my arms up like that for a pd of time and raising my hands up+down actually does create a minor burn in my muscles, and i only did 20 of them. Going from no fitness at all to doing exercises like this probably will make a change, and probably will tone me. If you lift weights something different will work for you but you cant say its absolutely useless just because you go to the gym and youre familiar w fitness. She obviously isnt instructing body builders she's probably instructing the average person, and we mean actually average not average gym goer. Certain audience
@@TheLiberalPanda you actually are saying this without trying this. I have and yes it does help. People are speaking from experience so if things don't work for you then move

@@blankblank5231 she claimed that the exercise targets the biceps; you said that you fell your shoulders burning (because you held your arm up for a long time, obviously).

You could aswell just hold your arms up without any movement.

-beginners exist
-not everyone has the same fitness or physique goals as you
-not everyone wants to lift weights and may prefer different workouts like pilates
-how someone else exercises really doesn’t affect you at all
I think you're confused, the point is that it won't give any muscle gain, and she's is basically making false claims because this type of exercise isn't ment for muscle gain.
Lmao even if your are a beginner, if it doesn’t work, it will still doesn’t
Thank you, finally someone who understands!
It doesn’t do anything because he isn’t doing it the way she said to. You press your elbows together and keep pressing as you move your arms up and down it creates resistance and uses your strength to create a “weight”!

I was a little surprised at how quickly my shoulders started to feel fatigued. I think I could probably grind out 50+ reps though so for my strength and hypertrophy goals it probably wouldnt be very beneficial to me.
Her routines work 100%. Youre a Body builder dude lol obviously its not going to work for you for what YOU want. Her goal isnt bulking

They do literally nothing in terms of building strength or muscle. The only thing this does is cause a buildup of lactic acid in your muscles which causes the burning sensation. This will do nothing to benefit you in any way

It is useful. Especially for people with physical conditions.
And it also helps improve your range of motion its more of a stretch to get you started.
It is also useful for those who recently dislocated their shoulders because it helps apply light strain on the muscles near the shoulder.
Try it and extend ur arm slightly more each time. Keep ur elbows together whilst curling in front of you is roughly the equivalent of 5kg to 480 kg depending how far you extend. Try it i guarantee u cant fully extend ur arms without seperating your elbows.
These actually help me a lot.
It’s not for if you’re trying to build up a lot of muscle.
It’s to keep your muscles active and help them recover.
It’s the reason this is done by old people and people recovering from injuries. It keeps your muscles moving.
I was forced to be inactive for a long time and lost a lot of strength in my arms. To the point they shake something from only a little pressure. These help me build up the base muscle so I can actually move onto building more muscle if that’s what I want.
I mean thats fair, but the claim that this will make you gain muscle mass is (mostly) false, which is probably what most people are annoyed by. Im glad these exercises help people stay active
very true and i’m glad it helped, but it should be advertised as such as not as an exercise that will “tone biceps”.

Exactly. Back in May I had a tumor removed from stomach which left behind a 10" scar. My doctors told me to not lift more than 5 lbs. A few months later I got back into the gym. I decided to give 8 lbs a try, so 16 in total. My ex actually laughed at the small amount I had. This actually kind of hurt my feels and I had to remind him that I really shouldn't lifting any thing over 10-20 lbs.

I agree. For someone who always only sit in front of the laptop with almost 0 muscle like me, I definitely feel the strain after trying this.

I mean really bad. Now I’m picking up adult men in my arms and walking around w them. Pilates goes craaazy. Juice heads just wanna complain about something outside of their lane
@@bambitoelafaki6036 it is perfectly effective to use Pilates for weightloss idk why y’all think you have to OD on everything. You work out so hard you don’t even realize a lot of it is extra. Pilates is just using your own body for weight. That’s it. It’s still gonna work you out. It’s not intended to juice you up it’s going to make you just a little more strong than you need to be to do day to day things at-rest.
@@bambitoelafaki6036 wtf, no, just no, it doesn't burn anything
@@bambitoelafaki6036, okay, I'm dumb, I read it wrong, my bad, I thought u said it was good for losing weight 🤦🤦🤦
She’s the literal definition of a girl who says “I don’t wanna lift weights because then I’ll get too bulky.”
She's weak as a noodle I bet.
@@hossy540 for sure bro
What's the song tho ?
She is a pilate instructor. There are actual videos of bodybuilders trying her workouts and fail miserably.
@@nannuraj5382 Wellerman, but the version in the song is a shitty tick tock remix
This actually does work. It’s Pilates not weight lifting.
They're beginner exercises. I did alot of blogilaties workouts when I was younger and up until end of 6th grade, progressively working up to her harder workouts. They help teach muscle control, flexibility, cordination, and strength. Also, doing multiple 10min workouts was mentally easier than doing a commited 50 min workout. I recommend blogilaties to anyone getting into working out because she's very positive.
Jesus you’re young
@@omg9852 how old are you?
he never said that all of her video were useless, just that curling air was useless.
the beginner curl weight is like 5 to 15 pounds and 2.5 if u are a small child if u are lower then that then jesus u have to be checked by the doctor or something
Beginner exercise? Im a short woman 5'2 and I literally started with 10 lb dumbbells for my biceps..
She's an actual pilates instructor
Okay and this guy is an actual trainer?
she is also one of the top 3 fitness youtubers, this is the problem with clickbait
@@DanielRoPhotos Popular doesn't mean good, and it definitely doesn't mean right.
@@DanielRoPhotosshe's a supreme grifter. Watch out of her sessions and then go out to the real world where pilates trainers and yoga trainers who doesn't promote themselves on TH-cam/Instagram you will notice the social influencer trainers are grifters. Either they exercises outside of their speciality or they are having cosmetic surgery.
And pilates is an absolutely horrible way of training yourself so
If you've had to recover from an accident then you know these type of exercises are very very useful.
Just not for people in good health.
For sure but if you can already perfectly control your arms this is useless and there's countless more effective movements for pretty much anything you want to achieve. Bigger muscles and strength=High intensity (big weights) curls, endurance (also "toning")=high volume low weight curls
@@Ho_Lii_Fuk I love that you start by saying "if you can perfectly move/control your arms". After an accident, you can't, for months and months. Physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Or for old people or people recovering from sickness.
It's not all about building muscle, extreme strength or endurance. If you've never lost mobility then you cannot even imagine what it's like for your own arm or leg to be heavy for you or taking 5 steps is exhausting.
She doesn't start her video by saying "Here's something you can do if you were recently in a horrible accident and just starting to recover"
@@Ho_Lii_Fuk literally you’re missing the point
This absolutely works for people who are just getting started. It also helps build mind-body connection.
Bruh wtf happened to this comment section 💀
Civil war has broke out
Women and soyboys
Yo mom
Idk just a bunch of idiots trying to justify the oxygen curls lmaoo
A lot of puffers seem to have stumbled on this video, not realising that you benefit more from sitting and getting up from toilet seat
She's been a professional fitness trainer a lot longer than this guy, and she used to do competitive bodybuilding, she knows what she's doing.
Doubt it, Sean has been in the fitness industry for almost two decades now. He knows a whole lot more than most fitness influencers/instructors, including her..
@@luisaguilar5658 she is a Pilates instructor
Just because you have 'qualifications' that doesn't change that nothing she's doing is putting the biceps under load, which is what causes muscular hypertrophy. An appeal to authority isn't an effective argument when debating the efficacy of what is being said
@@calebowen2006 muscle hypertrophy lol
So you're just willingly choosing to get scammed. Willful ignorance is ingrained in you.
I know this video was made with no ill-intent but it's just so demotivational and no research was put into it. These exercises can be good for people who may be struggling to make gains initially due to the lack of muscle or too much fat.
No adult is so weak that they can't curl 5 lbs dumbells, at the minimum. Unless you've been through some sort of an accident, I don't see the point of this.
@@toocheaptobuycolognes3681 I'm too broke to buy dumbells or going to the gym right now ayeee
Sometimes I use waterbottles tho
@@tenten3577 do push-ups
@@fortnite.burger actually started going to the gym since I found a part-time, I'm still a beginner so I'm doing knee push-up.
Thanks tho! Have a good day
@@fortnite.burger my form is still lacking but I'm getting there 😅 if I were alone it would be way harder, I didn't know I was doing so many things wrong
You're wrong on this one, Sean. Cassie's audience is mainly women who aren't bodybuilders. For someone with little arm muscle who would struggle with weights, this is a great exercise.
I guess everyone forgot how Bruce Lee did advanced isometrics for most of his definition in his muscles, combine with traditional exercises
isometrics and curling air are different.
isometric would be curling an immovable dumbbell
what she was doing was curling a dumbbell that doesn't exist.
@@im_skrunklyyou are meant to push your elbows inwards constantly AND do it hard enough for them to STICK together
@@MsAlestaa that doesnt really change anything
Yeah pilates was invented by someone in the military looking to maintain strength in recovery/breaks, not exactly for the guy with protein powder on hand, let alone access to any gym equipment
curling air is not pilates
Oh please. I have been doing her workouts for a long time. They are meant for toning, mobilty and endurance, not muscle building. As a dancer, blogilates videos have helped me immensely.
I mean yeah you’re a dancer, and dancers are supposed to be agile and flexible which this workout may help with. But saying that it gains muscle is kind of a understatement. Especially when you have the goal to get bigger muscles this is just a ineffective way for muscle growth
@@suda_lifts blogilates never claimed that it is meant for muscle growth.
Lifting weights is really good for endurance idfk what lifting a bit of air does, further more doing like 20 reps of lifting weights will produce some muscle and therefore some strength
This is demagogy as its peak. You may have been doing her workouts for a long time, it doesn’t mean this video in particular isn’t a fraud.
Doing low weight curls, like 1kg, or low resistance band curls will help you a thousand times more than this. It will literally help you much better for toning and endurance. Up to you to choose a almost useless exercise, or actually doing one that will have much better results in a way shorter period of time.
This female said "TONING" 😂😂😂
It’s for toning your muscles. Not bulking.
I love her workout. She got me back in shape after having my daughter. Thanks blogilates!!
I have seen so much progress with weightless arm workouts
It make me stronger
@@aarushpintodpatel9806 aight what do you bench
@@LuCreates_stuff 325
@@LuCreates_stuff just joking
As someone who does blogilates alot, she actually works. Maybe try it instead of degrading her work.
I will admit that some of blogilates stuff won’t give the same results as lifting weights but her work is really good for building endurance and I like the pace of her work. You focus on breathing and slowing down at times. Not everything needs to be about looking bulk when sometimes you just prefer different ways to move.
@@Skrambled3ggs i don’t think that’s what he meant. He said “that’s enough for today” to show how ridiculous it was to him because obvsiouly he lifts weights and doing her excercise really doesn’t do much unless he was doing it for a longer period of time.
Didn't you notice she has sets of dumbbells hidden around her room? And no, you won't get bubble but by lifting air.
@@Skrambled3ggs no, he was pointing out the ridiculousness, but also how would he have even known if it worked from doing it for less than a second? let alone a full session?
It does not work to make your biceps bigger like the original video was implying.
Clear sign that bro has not tried this exercise yet
It doesn’t work jit
Common sense says this excercise is utter garbage
Trust me when I say he would not find it even remotely challenging.
He can’t even put his elbows together let alone do this exercise
@@yaraidk He can most definitely do this exercise
I love how trainer blame her for encouraging people to move 🤦🏻♀️ like have you ever tried one of her Pilates work outs? No? Try it and come back. Is this going to give you muscles gain? No? Is Cassy promoting something harmful? No. She is helping people to get into moving their bodies and gaining confidence. And people blame her and other female TH-camr who are giving free work out ideas.
P.s Cassy is a certificated Pilates instructor.
Shes promoted spot reducing fat before which is pretty harmful 🤷♀️ also misleading people by making it look like these exercises give you visible biceps is not necessarily harmful but pretty scummy.
She is promoting people wasting their time.
@@haileyjarmon1876 she's promoting pilates. Also, she says that exercise targets those muscles, which it does. Targeting a certain muscle does not mean making that muscle huge. Targeting means engaging.
@@user-ry6jj6kx2s she flexes her biceps though. Its implied.
@@roberte289 instead of going off of an implclication, the onus is then on the person to do their research or actually watch her content to know the benefits. Me, doing some base research into fitness and specifically pilates, took her action to mean she was targeting that area. The more you know
So I tried it, and it actually works! I felt the heat in my muscles!
You just have too big muscles preventing you from raising your hand to the right position as she does 🤣
Nah man... it's not because his muscles are too big, it's because this is straight up bullshit. I tried and I literally felt just a very very very very small resistence on pecs and shoulders because of where gravity was pulling the resistence and because I was keeping my chest in a constant squeeze position. You feel that this crap is working, than it's just YOUR problem
@@emanuelegaddi3545 have you read the other comments? It's not bull, it does help those with disabilities or injuries, and it also helps get beginners started on their fitness journey. If you're none of those, then ofc it wont help because you're more advanced and have moved on to harder things. But that doesn't mean it's bull, it works for its target audience and bc you're not the target audience, it's not going to work for you.
@@gdaym8y I agree that it can help people with injuries or disabled people, I actually think that it can really help those who woke up from a coma, but saying that this will build muscles?? This is straight up false information. And even for beginners this won't help, simply because it's just you performing the movment that the biceps are designed to do without any resistence, you basically already do that in your everyday life
Has anyone told you feeling “heat in your muscles” means absolutely nothing ? You can literally stand there and flex any muscle in your body for extended time and feel “heat”. It won’t make you stronger or give you bigger muscles. If it did people wouldn’t lift weights they would just sit in front of a mirror and pose for an hour
Here we go. Another loyal customer of placebo effect.
I suffer from extreme chronic pain and slowly lost my ability to be active, and had all but given up on having a toned body before pilates. These exercises improved both my health and my body image, and they weren't causing me extreme pain. This one in particular I would recommend because it helped me build a huge chunk of arm strength back when I was at my weakest.
But it is a basic strength or minor toning move that increases mobility, not muscle size or necessarily strength once someone has reached or recovered to their most base abilities and physical comfort. Congrats on recovering BTW, it's always a good story to hear
Congrats on your rehabilitation brodie 🤞🏿🤝🏿
Stfu that’s obviously not what she was recommending this for don’t defend this
how old are you and what is your weight?
@@ДімаКрасько-с7м I'm 24 years old and 130 pounds. I used to be heavier but with the health problems I've been experiencing, eating is extremely difficult so keeping myself energized and full is a challenge for sure. It's part of why working out is so difficult.
Because not everyone has the same goals and capabilities as you, Sean!!! This is a really effective physiotherapy exercise that helps keep my joints stable with my Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and it would also help beginners get used to correct form and repetition before moving onto weights that might hurt them. Not everyone goes into the gym trying to do the highest numbers possible and make themselves as big as possible, get the biggest pump possible. Some of us are just trying to get/stay healthy.
Does Ehlers-Danlos syndrome mean that you have hypermobile elbows?
People who are normal won't benefit from this
You shouldn't pick Casey, she is loved everywhere.nor should you pick others 🤣
Thats exactly why he should be targeting her to criticise.
He picks everyone selling bs. Casey was today's target
@@OriginalZeus it’s pilates but you meatheads probably can’t even pronounce it, let alone give me the definition
