    When PJ said, “Last leg makes me happy. How about you?” I replied, “Oh, yes! I’m happy happy happy it’s the last leg!” Those shrimp squats were tough. I had to put my foot down every time, but I was ok with that. I struggled with this workout the last time we did it, too. This time I used 20# weights, so, that’s progress! Thanks, PJ!❤

    20-minute legs with three rounds felt like just enough today. Now to your 10-minute abs workout. Then done. 👍 ❤

    Short but definitely punchy! I really enjoyed it, loved the pace, and much to my (pleasant!😂) surprise I was much better at shrimp squats than the last time I did them!!

    Now THAT workout was a total challenge! Whew. I’d love to see a REAL shrimp try those squats. Thanks PJ. Another video saved for the future. Maybe THEN I can do at least 1 ‘perfect’ shrimp squat. Donna 🇨🇦🎒❤️🍷☕️

    PJ-you are no "shrimp" when it comes to those shrimp squats! Powered through with them-will definitely see improvement on them. Also, 1st time using 25 lbs. for goblet......legs feeling alive now. :)

    @jburwinkel 10 месяцев назад

    I’ll admit I almost kept scrolling today when I did a quick preview and saw those shrimp squats. I didn’t think my aching, arthritic knees could handle it. But, boy am I glad I gave this workout a try. It was super challenging but still kind on my knees. Thanks, PJ!

  • @carolinewhitelaw1068
    @carolinewhitelaw1068 Год назад

    I’ve done this one a few times now and really like it! I like the format of 3-4 exercises, 3-4 sets and I use as much load as I possibly can. This was great. Moving on to the ab workout (sure to also kick my 56 year old butt!)

    This one was really good! Initially, I was questioning my ability to do the shrimp squats, but I turned my yoga block to make it taller, and I was able to do them a little bit better at that point. That’s a great functional exercise! ❤

    @katrinmj6488 Год назад

    Almost did not work out due to being short on time...my daughter had a flat tire. then I found this and yeah great leg trembling workout. I do not have any dumbbells above 15lb so I used a 25 lb plate thank s 🤩PJ you always deliver!!!!

    Congratulations on doing the shrimp squat, PJ! I couldn't do it. I just could not get down that low. So I did a one-legged squat instead. I used the heaviest weight yet! Thanks, PJ!!

  • @angelasylcott5375
    @angelasylcott5375 10 месяцев назад

    I had grabbed my 15 lb. dumbbell before we started, but I like using my kettlebells for goblet squats. Grabbed my 25 lb. for that and ended up using it for the whole workout. Feeling good! Interested to see what my muscles have to say about that choice tomorrow.😜

    • @FitnesswithPJ
      @FitnesswithPJ  10 месяцев назад

  • @michelleelizabeth299
    @michelleelizabeth299 Год назад

    Used a 20 lb. dumbbell and wore my 12 lb. weighted vest, and that was definitely enough weight for me today! 3 sets, some basic, but VERY effective moves, and you've got a great lower body workout! Thanks for the burnin' buns PJ! ;)

  • @StiofaininIreland8168
    @StiofaininIreland8168 Год назад +1

    The only HEAVY I have is a 10kg (22pound) kettlebell so I grabbed that worked a treat but yes I need to get a dumbbell this weight or heavier
    All in all this was a tester for me. I have noticed myself doing my workouts in barefeet I find it extremely satisfying and I have fare better grip but the down side is I'm not as fast especially when doing cardio EMOM AMRAP OR HIIT TABATA in barefeet
    Anyway thank you for this PJ challenge excepted and done glad I ou couldn't see me trying to get my knee to the block and back up again lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
    Cheers PJ have a great day
    Steph 🇮🇪

    Regarding the watch setting, maybe you could list it in the graphics at the beginning of the workout. That way, if you forget to mention it, at least some of the audience will still get the info.

    Ice cream last night followed by leg day today. Yeah, I’m ok with that now and then. Now I know why some shrimp are called “jumbo shrimp.” These should be called jumbo shrimp squats. My legs are feeling pretty good now. All zingy! Thanks, PJ! ❤

  • @jing.ocampo
    @jing.ocampo Год назад

    Wow, another great one! My heaviest weights are 20s, but for the sumo squats I used two 15-lbs 😊 Couldn't do the shrimp squats because of my knees, but I think I did a pretty decent job at the one-legged squats, just balancing on the one leg (other foot not touching the floor). Was sweaty after this, and feeling my glutes! 🩷🔥
