As a woman who is 50, I would say that some form of resistance training should be pursued when you get into your 30s, as your body will start to lose muscle then. I used to also never work out when I was younger (I didn’t “need” to), but noticed my body starting to look less “shapely/youthful” in my 30s. I now do weight training along with other activities regularly, and I’m sure I “need” to do so to maintain my physique.
I don't know what it is but I love how personal this video feels ✨ never heard of the brand halara but it looks so soft and feminine, especially the off the shoulder top
I'm so glad to see someone is into stomach vacuums. It's been my frequently done exercise since my university days till date and I'm reaping the benefits. My waste line is always looking snatched, always. Stomach vacuum is highly underrated. Thank you so much Ally ❤, I'm definitely going to include the posture exercise to my minimalist exercise routine 😅
When I was younger, I used to suck my stomach again all the time. At first it was a struggle but after a while, I didn’t even realize I was doing it. That really helps your core. You don’t have to suck it in like the vacuum just suck it where it’s comfortable and just make sure you do it every day all day. I’m telling you this worked wonders for me and it’s so simple.
I am soooo loving this video format!!! I have to mention it yet again… I realize that intuitive fitness is so much better for me as it encourages more of a positive reinforcement than a negative one ❣️
I appreciate you talking openly about both health and beauty (and how they coexist). I always learn something from your videos and feel inspired afterwards. Thank you for being you and sharing your experiences 💗
I love how free your routine is ❤ When I woke up this morning, I promised myself that I would find movement in whatever way for 30 minutes, so seeing how fluid your routine was such a nice gentle nudge
You know when your a child and you pick someone on RUclips to look up too and show you how to become a women? I picked her and it was the best pick omg ♥️ I’m 24 and still supporting . Love it!!
PRAISE THE LORD!! I also really needed this video... I used to exercise every day, have really great form, and felt immaculate! Though I was bedridden for over 3 months and lost my physique entirely. I was skin and bones 😭 I'm starting to get back in, but I've been prone to focusing on particular muscles rather than my health and looking healthy. Thank you for reminding me that I don't need to focus on getting my butt again or cinching my waist ❤ Love you!!
Please ignore that rude comment I saw. Jesus is the truth and the light, sometimes it’s too bright for those who live in the darkness. Keep shining and being healthy love, I’ve been watching you for years. All the work you put into your videos is noticed, keep in mind there are so many people who have been watching your content for years who don’t leave comments. 💜
I started posture exercises recently. My neck pain led to a migraine lasting 3 days! I was surprised when typical remedies wouldn't work, but stretching did wonders and much quicker after I learned! I use the one you've shown, too ❤ 👍🏽
you have an incredible voice as has been commented in previous videos. when you voice over, as opposed to speaking directly to camera, the cadence of your voice changes to be slower and more rhythmic which is what some may interpret as more genuine or engaging. in all likelihood, this bubbly, imperfect but equally as sincere direct to camera address is more you irl than the other. try not to listen to the naysayers
I love this video because I’ve been struggling with consistency in my exercise, and this video allowed me to see such a different pov just utilizing regular activity as exercise, or things to do for wellness! 💗
I love how you began with mindset being key! There are also so many activities during day to day life that totally count as exercise but are just enjoyable all on their own. I garden and do pole classes, both are a great workout but they don't feel like it!
It’s feels so great to be back watching your videos, post partum has been a blast to say the least but it’s a breath of fresh air to get back to feeling more like a woman than just a mom. Thank you ❤
I will always be a fan of Alex's videos, message, and intention here on yt. That said, I'd like to mention that there is something that can happen if you tend to suck your stomach area in all the time, which is that it can create bad tension in areas of the pelvis that shouldn't be tight all the time. Pelvic floor issues can be common among women, and it's been a couple of different physical therapists who have talked about how holding tension knowingly or unknowingly in the abdominal regions can lead to undesirable longer term effects on the lower body overall. Alex never says to do this tightening exercise all the time, but it may be good to be sure to release and relax those areas following the exercise. And be aware of continually holding any unnecessary tension in the stomach region.
I love this video! I’m turning 38 this year and have had a lot of different fitness routines as well. I love exercising but I don’t like being forced to or being stressed about it. Unless you are using exercise as a tool to lose weight then it should be fun and flexible. When I feel energized I exercise. I have a TRX and PowerBlock dumbbells at home and I love them both. Sometimes I want to dance. I always learn something totally new from you and I just tried the stomach vacuum exercise and it’s harder than it looks 😂 I’ll keep working on it. Thanks and love you!
You are uncommonly gorgeous. So appreciate that you have such wonderful tips that never come across as preachy or arrogant. Thank you for always keeping it real and wonderful!❤ PS -- my favorite exercise is treading water. Unfortunately I'm only able to do it two or three times a year.
I'm really letting myself go lately. I'm 32 with 2 kids, and I am ready to feel sexy again. I need to get back into a fitness routine to lose weight and this is good inspo!
I really enjoyed this video Alexandra! I also find myself being more active when I don’t focus so much on building a strict exercise regimen, but instead on how I can incorporate more movement into my daily life
🩷Thank you, Alexandra for sharing some great tips (vacuums! 🎉) and your outlook on fitness . I also love your Halara hauls - so inspired by you to try this brand. You look lovely in everything. I’m amid my own beauty and fitness journey, and loving curating my appearance through these and other techniques. Thanks as always for sharing your thoughts, knowledge and experience with us 🩷.
I imagine the ab practice is *VERY good* to help with lower back issues as well, along with the wall exercise, preventing a forward slouch, which can create neck pain, so, very good advice!
Thank for the inspiration in fitness as well as in athletic wear.. I've been on the lookout for some higher quality nice fitting pieces, I've given birth to my first 5 months ago and am proud of myself for the stage of fitness I'm in yet don't really own proper active wear to feel comfortable and womanly at the same time.. I'll be checking them out!
Thank you for this, I appreciate you letting us in on how you keep your spectacular body in check Some people don’t understand that the last decade was hard on the naturally skinny people just like how the early 2000s was hard on thicker people Making bodies trends are stupid imo and hopefully the 2020s will bring about some balance to counter the bbl pandemic
thank you so much for this! loved the tips and the cute clothes. your videos are always so therapeutic for me, i'll absolutely include these on my routine! 🤍
Yes! I love hearing someone talk about the transverse abdominis vs the rectus abdominis! 🎉 You are 100% correct and I always try to get people to work on that part of their core instead of trying to get a 6 pack. I call it your girdle muscle lol. Thank you for your tips ❤
I love ur energy. Ur personaliyty. U have this aura about u that is calm, nurturing and loving and I love u for that. I love ur art. Bc what u do is art. Love from Morocco.
I swear you’re prettier every time I see you🫶🏻 I’ve never seen anyone put butter in their coffee, definitely trying it! You always know what you’re talking about! PS: The halara tummy control leggings are my favorite ones!
Thank you so much for these tips! They are super useful! I was born with ehlers-danlos syndrome so there are lots of workouts that I'm not able to do even if I could benefit from them (my muscles, tendons and nerves gets inflammed extremely easily), even yoga is a big no no for me and I had to give up swimming because I developed a serious chlorine allergy...so I'm constantly trying to find simple and effective exercises to develop my muscle but that don't leave me super tired or with days worth of inflammations.
I've been watching you for so many years. I had no idea we were so close in age, you are so graceful, and I love this video! You are so inspiring. Do you remember your "Angel Essence" video? Do you think you could do a series on the feminine archetypes in a similar fashion?
Thanks for your tips, Alex! The mindset you talk about is a bit of a departure from what I typically do, but that's what makes this interesting as I feel rather limited when I work out lol. Thank you for introducing me to this mindset, I really appreciate it.
Love this thank you! Alway like how bright your videos are with colors that stand out ❤ posture has been my focus lately too, I’ve been thinking about trying ballet type exercises to work on this. I love being active but my main issue is when the seasons change I start slumping - I’ll be active in fall then summer comes and I get lazy, then I start being active and winter come and I want to hibernate 😅 I guess that’s human nature but it would be nice to be more consistent
Hi Alexandra, I love this video and mindset. I have recently been more aware of my posture and working on it. Plus I love your stomach vacuum exercise, I will be doing it daily as well. Thank you for the great tips!!!!!
hey angel! i just saw you video of hair secrets and i want to see a video of your protective hairstyle for sleeping the one that you do with de bonnet!!
I am definitely going to test out the posture method and the stomach vacuums. I've been wanting a minimal workout I'm already skinny just want to be toned with good posture. Thank you Alexandra , Jesus loves you ❤!!!
Whaaa? Where have I been? I may have missed a few videos. You look very different from the Alexandra in her 20s. It would be great if you could share about your transformation! ❤
I do vacuums after my ab routines. Now that I’m in my early 40’s, it’s harder to slim down now vs when I was in my early 30’s. But I hate the gym. My brother and I were just talking about this yesterday how we hate the gym because people these days are ruining the experience with wanting to film everything and just their attitudes. It’s like the night club. If you don’t look a certain way, they look at you like why are you here. I wish I had the money to turn the garage into a personal gym.
You guys are feigning concern because this gorgeous woman makes you realize that beauty is meticulous, hard work. Just say u don't have the discipline.
I agree there’s a fine line between healthy routine and eating disorders. I agree with taking care of your body but don’t over do it. LADIES WE ARE MEANT TO HAVE CURVES
I have a weird question, but how tall are you? I want to use you as a "guide" because I feel our bodies are similar. But I don't want to set myself up for failure if you're as tall as you look. I learned at a young age to not use tall women as inspo😂
This is exciting😀 i am 5'7 have always been at about 135 pounds. In the last year I have gained about 45 pounds. I want to start a routine that will become part of my daily life. This sounds like a great way to do that. Excellent video❤

yes, helps with bone loss issues too.
Your hair looks so much better dark

Followed you since many years now.. I feel you look more and more elegant as you age.. love u beautiful

The stomach thing, engaging your core works even better with core workouts as that is essential what you’re working out in a fitness routine
I really enjoyed this video Alexandra! I also find myself being more active when I don’t focus so much on building a strict exercise regimen, but instead on how I can incorporate more movement into my daily life

Thanks for the tips! I wasn’t expecting some of them for a routine. Mindset and posture is definitely a must do that I’ve overlooked!
so excited to start doing stomach vacuums!
I've been watching you for so many years. I had no idea we were so close in age, you are so graceful, and I love this video! You are so inspiring.

Thank you for sharing Alex!

Ohh I definitely love the posture exercise! My back has not been then same after giving birth thank you for the suggestion and encouragement Alex ♥️
You look so amazing! Your eyebrows are gorgeous and thick and I love your hair.
You look amazing 😻. I’ve always found your voice soothing, from hair videos to nails

BEST TIPS AND VERY PRACTICAL
Stomach vacuums helped my diastasis recti or ab separation postpartum
I really enjoyed this video❤
I really like exercises that are practical ☺️ thank you!
Please make a detailed exercise regime and gym machines videos from when you used to workout and were trying to lose weight

So ready to take this approach to fitness! It seems so much more intuitive, definitely going to take this mindset into my 20s. Thanks so much🫶🏽
I will definitely start stomach vacuuming, funny how little people know about this. Thanks for sharing 🙏💕
it’s probably one of the best kept beauty secrets even to this day! 🩷☺️
Ooh I hadn’t seen the swim before!
Can you be honest about if you've taken Ozempic or not?

You look so gorgeous and healthy. You’re glowing boo, love this hair color on you🤍
Thank you for the video. I personally would not ever put butter in my coffee because butter is saturated fat. 😊
maybe also what do you eat in a week? diet is 70% of success so that would be helpful as well :*
