I can't do airborne lunges properly (or pistol squats for that matter. I can go maybe half way and that's it. I'm a big fan of squat jumps and plyometrics in general and thought that my legs and my core are in pretty good shape. But I don't seem to make much progress re airborne lunges and I'm wondering whether there is some sort of physiological/body shape issue going on here? I know people who can do pistol squats without really being that athletic. Maybe I should just give up on airborne lunges? Or is there value in doing them even though I'm not able to go very deep?

Is there anyone else that is older like me? 55+ I was able work thru most of these exercises. I had great difficulty doing the mountain climber turkish bridge even with the modification on the bench. Nevertheless, I'm going try and keep this as one of my routines. Except, for now I'm doing a low spiderman plank instead. It's strange that the push up row is almost easy but, I don't seen to have enough upper body strength for the mountain climber exercise. I like the challenge I'm going to get there.
You are very motivational

Hey, love the content you produce but I've a question about the row for the push ups. I know you are trying to show exercises without equipment but you don't have any resistance like you do on the pushing section. All I can see is you lifting the arm so you're in a 3 point plank and therefore working the core. Squeezing the shoulder blades to engage the upper back might be good for posture and mobility but I can't see how that would make you any stronger.

Hi Cori! I love your videos and they are very interesting and informational. Since quitting the gym (as I mainly go climbing now but want to keep balanced strength) I feel overwhelmed about how to keep up a good exercise routine at home/ how many sets of exercises etc and never know if I'm doing the exercises right. Is there any advice for this?

Ugh my problem is that I'm weak as hell. The last time I was able to handle my own weight I was 135. I'm now 206. I start and then cant keep up with certain ones because of my knees too. its very frustrating so I stick to weight lyfting but days I dont feel like going to the gym I would like to do body weight exercises. --

Wow! Amazing and so well explained. Thank you for explaining how to get to do those exercises. I do not currently have the strength and mobility do do some of them so I will surely give it a try It is so rewarding to be able to do a movement we could not do before it is like being a kid a gain. Thank you!

I love to watch and learn from your videos. Is there any chance you have a video of a dumbbell workout for beginners? I feel like I need a refresher, back to basics video. Thanks for your time!
