one thing yall missed about the leg lifts is she's doing them against a wall, which means she isn't using any swinging motion to help :) this video really shows how specialized human bodies can be.
yeah but their mass is different as men, they honestly can't do a lot of the stuff she can. There's a reason men's and women's gymnastics actually do different routines. They'd probably do better on a male gymnastic routine, but frankly of all athletes, the male gymnast is sheer insanity. These guys just aren't in that kind of shape.
@@user-wi9hv2pb2q Spot on! I remember, in high school, doing the "stand against a wall, then lean over and pick up the classroom trash can" trick. The guys couldn't do it, while we gals could. The "secret" was that men's center of gravity is around their chest/shoulders, women's is around their pelvis. Also the reason it is a very rare woman who can do an iron cross on the rings. I remember trying that in gym class. I thought I could at least slow my 'descent' like the guys could. I was shocked by how fast I was plunged down - and I had good upper body strength.
Simone makes it all look so EASY! It's criminal! She's such an amazing athlete. I'm glad to see you guys do them first so I don't hurt myself trying. :)
Her triple double and Yurcchenko double pike is INSANE. She is the epitome of the GOAT. And she is super supportive of everyone. What she did for Suni at nationals is so sweet! She is a born leader.
@@tanithschneider3051 I watched her most recent floor routine and I do not understand how the heck she's able to twist and flip in the air like that! One jump and it's like a blur and them BOOM! She's just standing there with a smile on her face. It's amazing!
Y’all were very respectful and showed admiration towards Simone. I loved y’all‘s demeanor and humility, and deference to her accomplishments. I’ll be subscribing from now on. Definitely a joy to watch good people speaking highly of others. I am a 4‘10“ female and it is rare to see a man speak with respect about petite women.
Yes, it’s a great video. But trust me, men don’t speak with more respect to taller women. I’m 5’9, and can garantee we get the same amount of disrespect…the problem is the men that lack basic manners, not the height of any woman.
Speaking as an ex-gymnast myself from MANY moons ago (20+ years) no one, absolutely no one, can understand how hard we train. It is brutal. You just touched on some of the exercises we have to do. Even most male gymnasts struggle with it. You did very well so pats on the back, guys!
As someone who has appreciated Gymnastics since I was a toddler, I adore those who were able to put serious effort into the sport. My time in Gymnastics was only a drop because my Mother could not afford to keep me in long at all. Free Programs were limited, but I had a good time and made friends. Plus I met someone who would be a Major Mentor to me til this very day through Gymnastics, so I am grateful for the Blessings that came to me. Nevertheless, I remember watching the Summer Olympics with such enthusiasm. I'm an 80s Baby and 90s Kid, so those were some magical moments in athletic history. It takes so much energy to even compete in Gymnastics. It takes so much support to even get an athlete to Nationals, let alone to the Olympics. Anyone who was even able to hang in there from the training alone is a Beautiful BEAST. So as a Sideline Supporter, just know that you are AWESOME!!! 🏅💗
I've never been a gymnast, but my mom was a coach and a gymnast in her youth. The stories she tells sound badass. Like how she used to wrap her body on the uneven bars, you know before that was banned due to women damaging their hips and wombs. Just looking at a gymnast's rough hands isn't enough to convey how intense gymnasts train.
I was not a gymnast this however I was a track star who was in training to be an Olympian. As an athlete, all of us collectively have bigger workouts. But at the time I was only about 110 pounds at 5’5, so it may work out easier for me than someone carrying a whole bunch of weight and muscle mass.
a) she had her legs absolutely straight throughout her exercises, boys. b) she also used her toes as fingers in that last exercise - remember, toes can grasp, too! Good try, guys.
The guys knew and expressed their limits in Simone’s workouts, I also love the respect and appreciation they gave her throughout! Good job guys on even trying this!❤
Plus she wasnt against the wall on removing pants but good try for even attempting ❤ Thanks for highlighting one of the greatest athletes of all time!!
Plus the guy who claimed he won the setup exercise where you pass the block between your feet and hands wasn't lifting his shoulders off the ground at all. There was no V sit motion to what he was doing so, no my guy, I think you lost cause you weren't even doing it right. She also intentionally does the hanging leg raises against the wall so she can't cheat like these guys did and just tilt back at the shoulders.
@@kyral8958 they would injure themselves heavily if they did the real full workout, even if they did this workout daily for months. Even male gymnasts have admitted they can’t match Simone Biles.
yes and no... by activating all of your leg muscles through lengthening them, it actually becomes easier to raise them. it's like picking up a dead person versus picking up someone who braces for the lift. If your supporting leg muscles don't have enough endurance to stay straight and tense, then you will fatigue easily doing it this way, but straighter legs are easier to lift!
@@sadisticwinter8354 yep. was a gymnast for 10 years and now still do pilates. Much easier with straight legs, though many don't have the range of motion (particularly men).
Thank you for featuring gymnastics strength and conditioning! ❤ Gymnasts don't mess around. Keep in mind too, that this will come at the beginning, ending, or both of practice. They still have to work vault, bars, beam, and floor!
You two are going into the deep end of the pool. Simone Biles is an athlete no one can match. A true undisputed GOAT. Her workouts are probably insane.
Average calisthenics workout tbh. Intermediate level. This kind of strength training is probably not the bulk of her training, will mostly be actual apparatus drills and skill. That's what sets these athletes apart.
@@tcrmnyeah this is normal gymnastics conditioning, not unique to Simone. We’ll do 3 sets of a circuit like this (with even more exercises) at the end of training.
Insanely inaccurate, greats are always bested, Usain Bolts record was just broken by an 18yr old...Simone is #1 however no one is the best at anything, someone will always rise to out do them
Of course all muscles are functional but there's a difference between muscles for asthetics which have as compared to muscles gained through functional fitness.
Maybe we just love buff dudes. Maybe we all understand the legit work behind it. Clearly we all love the fact you are acknowledging sound advice. congrats! and awesome!
I love that yall break this down, bc people sleep on simone sometimes. When youre so consistently awesome people tend to think it must be easy. She works out this hard, everyday.
*raises hand* I do not take her workout for granted. Without knowing anything ahead of time about the specifics, if someone said, "you're going to the try Simone Biles' workout," I would say, "turns out I'm not. I checked twice and I'm definitely not." The workout of any competition-level gymnast is going to destroy most people who haven't been training along those lines.
Blonde guy barely took his shoulders off the floor in his V ups, didn't hold the L position in the rope climb, and took his pants off in a headstand, not a handstand- win clearly goes to the other one! Props to both of you for trying, as a lifelong gymnast and coach, most adults cannot do our workouts, even the fit adults. You did great!
Totally agree about the V ups, the other guy was struggling because he was actually doing the exercise correctly. Legs and back should rise at the same time. I still have nightmares from my dance teacher making us do 30 consecutive V ups as fast as possible.
Very entertaining! Such a tremendous difference from a normal workout to an Olympic workout. It's hard to grasp the level of effort an Olympian must have...
K- guy in the black tank top did not do those v sit ups properly - that was a v crunch. And he said the other guy was struggling! Well, yeah, if you do them properly you’ll struggle too!!
now you know why kids need to start young and develop skills as they grow. Trying to do advanced gymnastics calisthenics as and adult can be a challenge because of the under developed muscle groups.
The thing I noticed most was the way Simone and the other gymnasts were always getting full extension in everything they do and all the guys would have something bent, like a knee or an ankle, really shows not just the strength of elite gymnasts but their range of motion and their extraordinary joint and ligament strength and flexibility, nothing uneven or "stuck" in them.
As a note, this workout isn't even tailored specifically for elite athletes! I was a gymnast for 14 years, and I did most of these when I was 10 as a mid-level gymnast (level 5/10). If we didn't have the right form (e.g., straight legs) for some of these, we'd have to do the whole set again, so you learn pretty quick to do it right the first time -- even if your muscles are sore!
surprisingly it is not that bad if you have done planks before or have moderately good core strength...if you do micro hip pushes it works even better...always try to get a little more from a position exercise it usually reaps great rewards
I love these kinds of videos!!!! So interesting to see how different types of athletes excel or struggle with various exercises. I do circus, and specialize in aerial rope. I found their struggle with the foam block crunches particularly funny 🤣 we do those all the time except we HAVE to do them with straight legs holding the block with our ankles, and then do a full sit up with the 90° leg pike.
thoroughly impressed you guys managed as well as you did 🤣simone's dedication to her craft is beyond inspiring and gymnast pilates is no joke lol i'm glad she inspired you guys to try her workouts. she's tiny but mighty!
I subbed! I was a gymnast from the age of 5 to 17 yrs old and cracked up at the ( We Died) it was my entire life working out (at age 5 my first badge I earned was after doing 75 sit-ups in 2 1/2 mins)lol and I enjoyed y'all very much. I'm 55 yrs old now still fit and y'all thank you for bringing me joy! Plano, TX
You guys got my admiration and lots of laughs so this nearly 70s woman (who works out with a great buff trainer) subscribed! Did you do Venus or Serena or Megan Rapinoe? So many great American women athletes. It’s very cool and much appreciated to see two buff dudes having that kind of respect for a woman’s athleticism and workout. 😊
I have a new found appreciation for how difficult an Olympic athlete's workout routine can be. Good job buff dudes! Here's my videogame suggestion: when you start off in valheim you have to gather wood without tools. This means punching trees with your bare hands. Can the buff dudes cut down a tree by punching it?!
You know most gymnast do this workout. I was a gymnast for 15 years. Very elite level. Those press handstand that she’s doing where she’s straddling the bar and then presses up to a handstand strengthens your shoulders. Well, and your core strengthens everything actually. But your shoulders especially. We need strong shoulders. I was jealous 30 years ago. I was nowhere near Simones difficulty. The skill level has increased immensely since then. But for my time I was rather good.
Love the idea of a video game stream, but in true Buff Dude fashion, Video game inspired workouts. Base a workout on something the video game character does or how they look. Kratos, Nathan Drake, Any of the Street Fighter characters, etc
I entered a martial arts tournament once and was the only 30 yr old to show up so I won 1st place, I didn’t parade around like I accomplished something. But if you don’t try and show up, you ll surely accomplish nothing.
That’s a lot better than I could do! Also, now I know an exercise I can try with my yoga block. I bought it a few years ago but hadn’t gotten around to figuring what to do with it.
First of all, I came across this video randomly, but I want to say hi to Brandon since we used to work together here in Los Angeles. I hope all is well, brother! I adore Simone & appreciate all that she’s done in our sport & for our sport as a terrific representative & role model for so many. Thank you, Simone! As a former elite gymnast, we do a ton of conditioning that is unusual for other sports since gymnastics (especially men’s gymnastics) requires so many different movements from other sport, in multiple planes, & requires support of your full body mass on your upper body. We always are taught to do these skills with our legs straight because that’s required in our routine, & “perfect practice makes perfect.” As was mentioned above, bending knees shortens the length of the lever & completely reduces the resistance & difficulty of the movement. Even the basic L sit hold on parallel bars is with legs straight & hips pressed forward between the hands vs hips behind the hands. One of the biggest challenges in the sport is keeping up strength & flexibility while constantly upgrading your routines & skills all while keeping injury free & minimizing fear of injury while doing these skills. The new equipment & better training environments are leaps & bounds ahead of where we were in the late 1970s when I first started the sport as a 4 year old. It’s amazing! Fun video. Keep up the good work, guys!
These guys set high standards for themselves. Obviously, they’re in great shape. Their attempts at Simone’s workout is another testament to what an amazing athlete she is.
This really makes you appreciate Simone’s strength. In all her exercises her feet don’t touch the ground during reps… that much harder boys. Great video.
You guys should make a vide about bjj workout, it's an excellent cardio and an awesome therapy for me, I'm from Brazil and follow you since 2015, this is my favorite channel, thank you buff dudes!
I liked that you tried some of Simone's workout. It looks very challenging. You guys made a great attempt and made it entertaining and fun to watch. There's one thing I'm going to call you out on. In the beginning of the video, you guys described Simone as being "Extremely dexterous, extremely agile and flexible," Which is all very true, but it's a very typical thing that many people say about a gymnast. How about saying Simone is strong, She is very strong too! After each of the exercises you did, you didn't mention the strength it takes to do them. And you didn't use the word at all in reference to Simone. It's ok for a man to say that a woman is strong.
I don't know if you have tried ballet? I hear it's killer too! My first time watching. Great fun! And I don't have to even try to keep up cuz I'm 77, wobbling from a broken leg! I just get a good laugh!! Keep rockin'.
As much as I enjoy watching Simone (immensely) the clips showing her doing the exercises was sufficient. The emphasis was on THEIR attempts, not her proficiency. Very cool video. Loved the self depreciating humor and fun the had trying👍🏻
This is SO GOOD!! When I saw you two start to climb the rope, then I saw the word FAILURE flash across the screen....LMBO🤣🤣🤣...By the time you got to the 2nd core workout, I was EXHAUSTED😂😂😂😂...."a LAZY L" 🤣🤣 (of course you both look great)
Very entertaining😄. I have absolutely no doubt they know all about the difference in the center of gravity, areas of strength between men and women, etc (as does Simone). They set out to make an entertaining and respectful video and they succeeded on spades😀.
I used to do a tonne of SOME of these for two hours as our warm up when going into a full day of ballet in concert season ;) was my fave part of the day for sure. Your body craves it.

For a moment I thought she was actually gonna guess star in the episode!

@@rundown132 they should. They give better content than many other more popular channels.

Simone biles does the V abs with the yoga block with her legs extended as well as the leg raises. bending the knees is an easier exercise
Not only legs extended but feet pointed

Yup. Best strength-to-weight ratio of all Olympic sports. I can't believe I used to do all of this 6 times a week! 🤯
Check out some of Chellsie Memmel's workouts, especially her handstand presses. Then check out her age and keep in mind that she's given birth twice.
Conditioning was always my least favorite part of practice and I only did it in high school😖😣

😂😂😂 I love the humor at the same time giving Simone her flowers genuinely. I’ll have to incorporate some of these techniques.
Everything about this looked miserable. Gymnasts are phenomenal athletes.
I’m fascinated with gymnast & Acrobats!!!

Thanks Davia. 💪 That was so extremely challenging. I felt like passing out after that damn handstand.
😂😂😂 this was mad funny 😂😂😂 Respect for tryin’ ANY of those core exercises… gymnast are pure BEASTS’

Great sports for trying Simone's workout! Credit where credit is due. Gymnast workouts are hardcore!
I'm glad you guys were respectful instead of talking down about a woman athlete. 👍 Positive attitude is where it's at.
Respectful from the start. Didn’t have to be humbled, because they started out that way ^_^
The thumbnail is so good I thought you were actually going to have Simone there with you in person.
she was , but she quit LULZ
I was thinking the same thing! ☺️ Thumbnails can be somewhat misleading.
@@jimbyrdiii1503 she would of quit anyway
Same
Literally the only reason I clicked on it.
Straighten your knees and point your toes 😉
Are your trying to kill them 😂😂😂😂😂
Haha came here to say that! 😂
They’re NOT THAT CRAZY!!😂😂😂
and keep on smiling :-)
Also came to say this.
I’m a gymnast and can confirm. Core is easy. V ups are a fun relaxing day of conditioning and I’m not even at a high level
You guys didn't keep your legs out straight during rope climbs! 😂
At least they survived😂😂😂😂
Blonde guy barely took his shoulders off the floor in his V ups, didn't hold the L position in the rope climb, and took his pants off in a headstand, not a handstand- win clearly goes to the other one!

Totally agree about the V ups, the other guy was struggling because he was actually doing the exercise correctly. Legs and back should rise at the same time. I still have nightmares from my dance teacher making us do 30 consecutive V ups as fast as possible.
She balances while doing the handstands, not up against a wall.
I don't even do gymnastics or anything like that but she is by far my absolute favorite gymnist to watch.
As a dancer it would be so cool to see one of these for Rhythmic gymansts or like a professional ballet dancers workout.
omg, i just had a hilarious visual of these two guys en pointe . . . >D
Very entertaining! Such a tremendous difference from a normal workout to an Olympic workout. It's hard to grasp the level of effort an Olympian must have...
I so proud of Simone, she has been at high competition for over 11 years and very successfully!!!!
Honestly. i actually appreciate you making the effort to try this. it really spotlights how hard Simone works to be the best. Great vid. ❤
Simone is doing the rope in a perfect pike position - gotta straighten those legs, fellas! (I can't do any of it so hats off to you for even trying.)
So much respect for the Buff Dudes for doing this workout. It's eye opening to get a glimpse into how hard Simone works out.
K- guy in the black tank top did not do those v sit ups properly - that was a v crunch. And he said the other guy was struggling! Well, yeah, if you do them properly you’ll struggle too!!
now you know why kids need to start young and develop skills as they grow. Trying to do advanced gymnastics calisthenics as and adult can be a challenge because of the under developed muscle groups.
Very true..the reasons they start as kids
Oh my gosh yes! I saw a picture of her on Ellen show as little 6 or 7 year old and she already was cut everywhere!

I like how on the rope climb right out the gate how dedicated one of them was to trying to keep her form, while the other just noped out right away XD
I've never seen the "deadman's plank." Very interesting and might have to try it
Over my dead body will I be attempting that !
Practice at home first…Personally, I would hate to try this at the gym & it goes wrong…
surprisingly it is not that bad if you do micro hip pushes it works even better
surprisingly it is not that bad if you have done planks before or have moderately good core strength...if you do micro hip pushes it works even better...always try to get a little more from a position exercise it usually reaps great rewards

thoroughly impressed you guys managed as well as you did 🤣simone's dedication to her craft is beyond inspiring and gymnast pilates is no joke lol i'm glad she inspired you guys to try her workouts. she's tiny but mighty!
I subbed! I was a gymnast from the age of 5 to 17 yrs old and cracked up at the ( We Died) it was my entire life working out (at age 5 my first badge I earned was after doing 75 sit-ups in 2 1/2 mins)lol and I enjoyed y'all very much. I'm 55 yrs old now still fit and y'all thank you for bringing me joy! Plano, TX
You guys got my admiration and lots of laughs so this nearly 70s woman (who works out with a great buff trainer) subscribed! Did you do Venus or Serena or Megan Rapinoe? So many great American women athletes. It’s very cool and much appreciated to see two buff dudes having that kind of respect for a woman’s athleticism and workout. 😊
I have a new found appreciation for how difficult an Olympic athlete's workout routine can be. Good job buff dudes!
Here's my videogame suggestion: when you start off in valheim you have to gather wood without tools. This means punching trees with your bare hands. Can the buff dudes cut down a tree by punching it?!
Ouch!
You know most gymnast do this workout. I was a gymnast for 15 years. Very elite level. Those press handstand that she’s doing where she’s straddling the bar and then presses up to a handstand strengthens your shoulders. Well, and your core strengthens everything actually. But your shoulders especially. We need strong shoulders. I was jealous 30 years ago. I was nowhere near Simones difficulty. The skill level has increased immensely since then. But for my time I was rather good.
It was definitely interesting watching these guys do the workout since I was basically doing all those when I was in Level 5 age 10, lol.
I am dead. Just watching is more skill than I have. Simone Biles is the GOAT
Love the idea of a video game stream, but in true Buff Dude fashion, Video game inspired workouts. Base a workout on something the video game character does or how they look. Kratos, Nathan Drake, Any of the Street Fighter characters, etc
Contra 24/7 or nothing
Brandon was actually Kratos in a live action commercial for God of War Ascension
He's onto something there.... Gaming eh,.... I think they have a blast with VR exercising stuff....
You guys did way better than I thought you would. Good job!
Great video , you guys should do a series about workouts of Olympic athletes. Similar to what you collaborated with another channel a while back
I entered a martial arts tournament once and was the only 30 yr old to show up so I won 1st place, I didn’t parade around like I accomplished something. But if you don’t try and show up, you ll surely accomplish nothing.
🧢🧢🧢🧢
Definitely gives me a whole new appreciation for the amazing gymnasts, especially Simone.
I need this motivation to get back in the gym
That’s a lot better than I could do! Also, now I know an exercise I can try with my yoga block. I bought it a few years ago but hadn’t gotten around to figuring what to do with it.
You can increase the difficulty of your squats and lunges with them.
This was so hilarious. And so respectful. Good job guys!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Simone is the GOAT!!!
And this is why you don't see many gymnasts over 1.75m. Physics.
Why? I also noticed male gymnast are short?
@@DsaherGuylow center of gravity
Same thing with highly competitive figure skaters. Way harder to do those fast rotations and jumps when you are larger.
Most body builders too.
@@elizabethr.9359 what does that even mean? Dumb it down for me lol
You guys are simply the best. I can't wait for the fourth edition of your 12 week program.
First of all, I came across this video randomly, but I want to say hi to Brandon since we used to work together here in Los Angeles. I hope all is well, brother!
I adore Simone & appreciate all that she’s done in our sport & for our sport as a terrific representative & role model for so many. Thank you, Simone!
As a former elite gymnast, we do a ton of conditioning that is unusual for other sports since gymnastics (especially men’s gymnastics) requires so many different movements from other sport, in multiple planes, & requires support of your full body mass on your upper body. We always are taught to do these skills with our legs straight because that’s required in our routine, & “perfect practice makes perfect.”
As was mentioned above, bending knees shortens the length of the lever & completely reduces the resistance & difficulty of the movement. Even the basic L sit hold on parallel bars is with legs straight & hips pressed forward between the hands vs hips behind the hands. One of the biggest challenges in the sport is keeping up strength & flexibility while constantly upgrading your routines & skills all while keeping injury free & minimizing fear of injury while doing these skills. The new equipment & better training environments are leaps & bounds ahead of where we were in the late 1970s when I first started the sport as a 4 year old. It’s amazing!
Fun video. Keep up the good work, guys!
I love this You guys should send this to Simone! She'd get a kick out of it! BTW - I give you two a giant A for effort!
You two gentleman are absolutely adorable🤗🥱🇺🇸…uncontrollable laughter🇺🇸..you two make working out a hoot!
These guys set high standards for themselves. Obviously, they’re in great shape. Their attempts at Simone’s workout is another testament to what an amazing athlete she is.
You two are hilarious, but sincere. Interesting channel!
USAIN BOLT!!!!!!!
YALL GOTTA DO THE GREATEST SPRINTER OF ALL TIME WORKOUT NEXT - LET'S GET IT!!!!
Let's see you guys to a CrossFit hero WOD
'A tool of death' 😂 😂 😂
This really makes you appreciate Simone’s strength. In all her exercises her feet don’t touch the ground during reps… that much harder boys. Great video.
You guys should make a vide about bjj workout, it's an excellent cardio and an awesome therapy for me, I'm from Brazil and follow you since 2015, this is my favorite channel, thank you buff dudes!
I did strengthen my core: I laughed myself silly throughout the video. Kudos to the guys who can laugh at themselves while still looking awesome!
She’s phenomenal ❤
I liked that you tried some of Simone's workout. It looks very challenging. You guys made a great attempt and made it entertaining and fun to watch.
There's one thing I'm going to call you out on. In the beginning of the video, you guys described Simone as being
"Extremely dexterous, extremely agile and flexible,"
Which is all very true, but it's a very typical thing that many people say about a gymnast.
How about saying Simone is strong, She is very strong too!
After each of the exercises you did, you didn't mention the strength it takes to do them. And you didn't use the word at all in reference to Simone.
It's ok for a man to say that a woman is strong.
I'm glad you had a fun time filming this, it was fun to watch you give it a shot, good job!
You did really well on the “ laughing a lot:exercise : 😊😊
Simone needs to see this!
The foam wasn’t between her feet, it was between her calves. That way she can keep her legs straight.
In all those exercises, gymnasts must keep their knees straight unless it is in a tuck position.
I don't know if you have tried ballet? I hear it's killer too! My first time watching. Great fun! And I don't have to even try to keep up cuz I'm 77, wobbling from a broken leg! I just get a good laugh!! Keep rockin'.
Bit of a massive clickbait thumbnail there. Thought you'd actually have her on thr video haha
She's a little busy right now
As much as I enjoy watching Simone (immensely) the clips showing her doing the exercises was sufficient. The emphasis was on THEIR attempts, not her proficiency. Very cool video. Loved the self depreciating humor and fun the had trying👍🏻
Omgg, they are hilarious 😂 I already knew they wasn't gonna even scratch the surface of her daily workout routine😂😂😂😂😂 They get an E for effort❤❤❤❤❤
Really cool content! I really enjoy watching this video. very inspiring & entertaining
And Simone does each exercise so effortlessly
Seriously guys, if you wanna do a Q&A while you're casually gaming and eating pretzels... I'm all down for it! XD
How about a collab with Nile Wilson and you can try men’s gymnast exercises. I think doing Katie Ledecky’s training routine would be amusing.
well i'm adding deadman's planks to my workout now, thanks for that!
This is SO GOOD!! When I saw you two start to climb the rope, then I saw the word FAILURE flash across the screen....LMBO🤣🤣🤣...By the time you got to the 2nd core workout, I was EXHAUSTED😂😂😂😂...."a LAZY L" 🤣🤣 (of course you both look great)
A Buff Dude Weekend with Hudson and Brandon yeeeeaaahhh!!! 💪💪
‘A’ for effort! And this is why she’s the best 😂❤
Lol simone makes it look effortless too!
She’s a phenomenal person. 🇺🇸
LOL this is absolutely hilarious!! Great job guys!!
Very entertaining😄. I have absolutely no doubt they know all about the difference in the center of gravity, areas of strength between men and women, etc (as does Simone). They set out to make an entertaining and respectful video and they succeeded on spades😀.
Simone is magic. No one is better.
Really appreciate the respect you give her.
I used to do a tonne of SOME of these for two hours as our warm up when going into a full day of ballet in concert season ;) was my fave part of the day for sure. Your body craves it.
Thise v-ups with the foam blocks... every time you bend your knees you're making it easier.
You guys are so much fun😂❤
Simone is dynamite, unique paggage of power and talent in little body. Greetings from Finland🇫🇮
