    This work out should be also named as a stress relief for those who don't have time! I was so stressed today, and I had less than 10 minutes to work out, and this helped me so much! Thank you Maddie :)

    I discovered your channel during the pandemic but wasn’t fully consistent with doing the workouts because I also was busy with a newborn and worked full time after 1.5 months off. But now that it’s 2 years later, I’ve been doing your workouts for a few months straight now. Mostly for fun and the gain of energy with weight loss in the back burner. I thought, why not, and stepped on the scale and realized I was 10#’s down. You saved my butt during a pandemic when gyms were closed as well as getting back on track post-partum. Thank you seriously from the bottom of my heart your channel is EVERYTHING.

    I loved it.. but couldn't complete all of it lol.. I was almost dying after the squats 😂🤣 I wasn't ready!!
    Haven't exercised in 2 weeks and this was my "returning workout".. cause I thought "psh, it's just 5 minute's" 😂🤣 Thank you for sharing your video!!

    Loved the workout!! Is there a modified version of the 180 pop squat? I have a bad knee. I would still love to do this quick outwork/warm up 💕

    okay so school is starting in 2 weeks (13 days to be exact) and I wanna have a body glow up before then. Also I wanna start a habit of working out every day as my new year's resolution.
    My weight currently is 52.1kgs but I'm not expecting anything to change over the next few weeks.
    Day 1: Y'know I was expecting this to be easy because it was only 5 minutes but boy😭.. after only two exercises I was dying on the floor. Today was pretty hard but I'm optimistic it'll get easier from here!😁
    Day 2: Whew.. 😅 still hard but managed to pull through till the end. Had to pause halfway because I was exhausted. But overall I'm happy 😁 I've already seen some changes in my abdomen. Can't wait for tmr👍🏾
    Day 3: still the same as yesterday.. but I'm already seeing some definition in my abs. 🥹
    Day 4: kinda easier than yesterday although I had to take a break in-between
