I had to modify alot of this -- I am 340 pounds so I just could not do some of the moves the way they are done in the video. But I did the whole workout so I am proud.
+Heatherly Great job! The LIVESTRONG.COM team and I are proud of you for completing the workout. You are amazing. Keep it up. It is absolutely OK to modify the moves. In time, you will be able to do them better. How many days per week are you working out? Are you joining us in the STRONGER 8-Week Challenge? Here is the link to the Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/429903243861888/
+Heatherly Great. Keep going and please don't give up. I was 150kg and I lost it all. I did weights as well. I also did walking exercises in between and especially when I first started and was very big. I used Lesley Sansone. It is amazing how quickly you get fit. In 3 weeks I was 'out walking' slim but unfit people that I knew, up a steep hill and was not even out of breath while they were gasping. You will be amazed how fast this happens and the weight will keep dropping.
I know. I cut all carbs except green low cal veg and that worked the best for me. It really works and you don't have to count calories just learn portion control. I find that if I need something sweet I would have a protein shake but not immd. I tried instead to not give into that craving and did something else like exercise which made me forget about it. The cravings do go and when you are seeing the weight drop off you naturally do not want to sabotage yourself. If you do go through a patch like that, as long as it is not every week or two don't do the guilt trip on yourself and think well I messed up I may aswell mess up badly. Instead just accept it and then move on the next day. It is all tough but not as tough as our mind tells us it will be which is far worse than reality.
+Cecilia De Rossi Thank you. I am pretty much trying to eat clean as per your suggestion. not to make excuses but I have been compulsively overeating every day for at least a decade - it is the reason I am this weight and it is by far the biggest challenge I have ever had to face.
I've just completed my first Hiit session. I loved it. I'm a very big girl @300+ lbs and I did it. I struggled with the crab thing... but I kept moving. I'm thrilled and excited. Sweating cobs and bright red, but my God, I'm soooo proud of myself. Your words "I CAN and I WILL" are ingrained in my brain. They kept me going. It pushed me further. Thank you so much. Xx
Nikki, i love your workouts, i have done them all and am still challenged by each and every one of them. i love your dialog through the workouts, they are sinking into my brain! thank you so much for these. my body is feeling better than ever!
Anyone doubting the calorie loss of this workout should think again, i wear a heart rate monitor and i burn over 800 calories every session, and when i combine this with an easy weights session after i burn over 1300 calories. The more you put in, the more you burn! Great video
+Toby Robinson your heart rate monitor mite be acting weird because i would only burn 400 calories doing insanity. i honestly think insanity's way more intense than this. just giving my word not starting anything.
Just discovered this workout today. At 66 yo and 107 lbs. I was able to do 85% of the moves the rest with the modified moves. However, not interested in loosing weight. I will continue to do it twice weekly. I do other intense cardio workouts also. Thanks. Really love it. Keeps my body young and STRONG!
I just completed this. OMG was this intense. I have not worked out in about 7-8 years. But the interval training allowed me to do it. I didn't do it perfect but practice makes perfect. Will definitely be doing this again. Thank you for providing this!
Good evening coach ,i am from Greece and by accident i watched one of your work outs here in thiw platform ,i am an ammature ordinary athlete ,my basic spot is road cycling ,but also i am doing any kind of work out and i mean strength work out ,cross training ,total body a little bit of running on treademill and of course a lot of walking ,but your work outs are extraordinary and have much of intense ,and today i was doing this one HIIT workout and it was fantastic and i will try to follow your other work outs as well !!!! All this is reallised indoor ,in to my home because of the situation of the virus ,gyms here in Greece and of course all over the planet are closed unfortunatelly
Man oh man. I usually do about an hour of HIIT and strength a day, but this 30 minutes kicked my ass and I loved it!! My new favorite guy to work out with!
Hi @Nikki I and my family have been following your workout since 3 weeks. Today I did this workout and wanted to do it with you. I am 11 year old but big fan of yours. Best part is we all enjoy doing it.
Glad you enjoyed FIRE. We're starting our 8-week Challenge group today with 10 total workouts. This blog post explains how the program works and how to sign up to also get the FREE meal plan: bit.ly/1iN8CVE
Jon Griffin There are about ten different workout videos, that are meant to be done at specific days a week for two months. and they are all free. Here is calendar: www.livestrong.com/blog/printable-8-week-workout-calendar-10-free-workout-videos/
LivestrongWoman Can these videos be made available for download? I do not have a good internet connection everywhere and would be nice to have them while travelling.
LivestrongWoman I do this workout after my bodyshred 60 day workout of jillian michaels I take a rest of 15 minutes between the two workouts I'm 70kg. Is that okay please reply
I just finished my two-month's program. I was bordering 61 kg first month. The second month I'm bordering 57-58. My legs are definitely toner and I look lean. I still have some belly fat to burn. I didn't diet or changed my habits as much. If I did, my waistline would probably go down rather than just an inch. Still excellent workout. You can and definitely will. :D
i started this program last week and I love it. on day 1 I couldn't quite complete Fire without a break. yesterday I missed fire so today I did it after iron, and managed to complete them both.. it really kicked my butt but I feel amazing!! so glad I started this!!!
You are so insparational without these inspiring words YOU CAN DO IT YOU CAN DO IT I would never get threw this thankyou so much for giving me faith in myself I have been doing fitness for 3 years now but your the only one that got me so inspired thankyou for that
ABSOLUTELY awesome workout! love the variety and especially the power hold in between which makes muscles work harder. I enjoyed Nicky' workout. More please
Fiya...Fiya...Fiya.. that workout was amazing...Crab crawl was a challenge for me....and the pool of sweat was so worth leaving on the floor....Excellent workout!!!! Thank you!!!
Thanks! Check out the rest of the videos in the playlist. On Mon, Jan 13, we're also publishing 5 different STRONGER videos on our LIVESTRONG RUclips channel.
Peppermintcat - Here's the 8-Week schedule with all 10 of the STRONGER workouts in the order you should do them to get the best results: bit.ly/1alznsn Essentially, you work out 6 days a week with a rest day on Sunday.
Did this workout today! Wowie!!!! It was a perfect workout. Legs on fire, triceps screaming "I can't" and Ricky voice reminding me "I can and I will". I was scared of burpees (always am! Bah) and the crab walks were new but with moderation I managed to complete the entire workout. Too bad I couldn't do the two moves at full effort but there is always next week! Looking forward to the next workout. My eating was baaaaad today but the rest of the week it should be on track. Monday = cheat meal day. Thanks for sharing these workouts for free!!! :)
Thank you for creating this amazing work out, Nicky!! I enjoy all the series and never get bored like others... Most importantly, it really helped me to get into sharp in just short half hour every day!👍
Thank you LivestrongWoman for the link. I just started week 2 and already lost 2 pounds and several inches! The meal plan needed to be adjusted, because the recommended calories for my body type were a bit too low. This challenge rocks!
Jade - We're glad to hear that you're in the challenge with us! Congrats on your 2-pound weight loss in the first week! Remember to take your "Before" and "After" photos. You can enter to win $100 each month.

I lost another pound! Can you please tell me how I can submit my “Before” and “After” photos? Thank you in advance.

Jade Jarvis - Here's the link to the February "Before" and "After" contest. No one has entered yet: www.livestrong.com/conversations/comments/849473-february-before-after-contest/
Jess Barron Thank you for the link. I just submitted my entry. Due to illness, I wasn't able to submit sooner, Btw, I've lost almost 10 pounds using Stronger. I hope LIVESTRONG creates more Stronger challenges in the future. I have a question. Once you submit your entry, does it automatically appear in the thread or does it need approval first?
I did SOLDIER and FIRE today. GREAT workouts! Nicki is really good. I have been doing Insanity, T25 and P90X for almost two years, and these workouts are challenging too!
Loved this @ 57 I think I lost 10 yrs. However I had trouble with the crawls because my elbows have some issues. Usually I can just push through but it felt like my hand did not want to face back... I managed it anyway but wonder if there is a modification?
How do you do some of these if you have back issues? I can do a good chunk of these. I have to admit, I am a swimmer, and adding these to my dry-land work outs can get me in shape in no time at all
Still one of the best workouts on RUclips hands down BY FAR!
I had to modify alot of this -- I am 340 pounds so I just could not do some of the moves the way they are done in the video. But I did the whole workout so I am proud.

Hey. Thanks for the encouragement, need all that I can get. Excercise is easier for me to do than the food. thats my biggest challenge.

2 years later and I still love his workout. Thank you!

That's impressive! How are you doing now, friend? Keep Motivated! ٩(-̮̮̃•̃)۶
Ya girl!! Good job killing it!! We all gotta keep pushing yourself! Still keeping it up?
you go girl!
Nikki, i love your workouts, i have done them all and am still challenged by each and every one of them. i love your dialog through the workouts, they are sinking into my brain! thank you so much for these. my body is feeling better than ever!
Can't wait to try this tomorrow! I've been working out for 2 weeks now using YT videos. Seriously, who really needs the gym anymore lol.
i agree with that
You are right
Lmao quarantine now so u is right
Anyone doubting the calorie loss of this workout should think again, i wear a heart rate monitor and i burn over 800 calories every session, and when i combine this with an easy weights session after i burn over 1300 calories. The more you put in, the more you burn! Great video
+Toby Robinson your heart rate monitor mite be acting weird because i would only burn 400 calories doing insanity. i honestly think insanity's way more intense than this. just giving my word not starting anything.
how long do you train weights for after this workout?
I think you mean kilojoules. You have to divide by 4 lol. There is no way this burns 800. At most it'll burn 350.
I've not burned out like this before after just 15-20mins of the workout program. Thumbs up to HITT workout.
Love the videos under this series and love the way the coach motivates us to push on. Am 53 years old and I Can & I Will 💕
This workout is no joke. Keep more coming with this instructor. He's awesome.
A rare complete work out with proper warm up and warm down.
love listening to this guys talk. So energizing, and motivating.
You are never bored, working out with this program! Congrats!
1 yr post pelvic surgery, a few modifications BUT I AM on my way back!!!!! Thank you! I love the positive good ju-ju from Nicky!!!!
i have been doing this for almost 2 month now I can see my body change !!
Love this. He has a great personality with friendly speeches( no sexy stupid speeches more about health) Advanced
A great HIIT workout for busy people
Excellent workout and motivation through the quarantine Mr Hollander, you saved me and my mind. Thank you!!E
