20 min STANDING ARMS AND ABS WORKOUT | With Dumbbells | No Crunches or Planks | No Repeats 

I'm so glad I found this one! It is perfect for me. I've been doing it every other day for a few weeks now, I can feel my side body getting tighter, I'm 61 years old so I use 5 lb. weights, but still benefitting from it.

This one was actually the most beginner friendly workout I’ve ever seen damn I can’t believe I managed to do everything without taking a single break or feeling exhausted to the point to just faint hahahah

has anyone noticed weight loss/toning results from being consistent with mik's workouts? am loving her videos

I am 17, 150 pounds, 5'10, and i began this workout about a week ago. This is what I saw. (I am not athletic at all, my waist is a little wide (covid) and I don't do weights usually) I did multiple workouts including this, chloe ting and Lily Sabri which took 45 minutes a day and did some intermittent fasting. Week 1- Lost 3.3 pounds, my waist size hasn't reduced much, but I can see the difference. I am able to go up the stairs much easier, and I feel more motivated and happy. I'll update yall on week 2. Well, it was a bust, I continued for 2 more weeks until life hit me (I had exams), but the good news is that I lost 4.4 pounds in the span of those two weeks. Mostly because of the intermittent fasting and the continuos working out. But i started this weight loss journey again. Week 1: Lost a pound off. My arms feel great. I am able to lift heavier weights. I can climb stairs without exasperating myself completely. Will update for week 2 in 4 days. *(If you want a full idea of what I do to lose weight, all the workouts + the fast, lmk. I will write all of it down as well)* :) Please remember that these workouts should be done for a better future and a better livelihoo, not for achieving an ideal beauty standard. Please like or comment if you can with some words of kindness or some advice. It keeps me motivated :)

I just love your style. I love that you're not talking about weight loss or toning or appearance, but which muscle you're targeting. Your instructions are clear and concise. I'm a fat person just looking to get stronger and move my body in a fun way, and your videos have kept me at it for almost 6 months now. Thank you so much!

I am 55, and started few months ago doing these standing workouts and l love them and l am getting stronger ❤

I’m 51, overweight and arthritis in both hips and knees, and was able to do this standing workout, love weights, just need someone like you to give us a routine. Thank you!

I started riding my bike 5 miles every day and walking a few times a week. I started this workout 2 days ago, and I’m SORE BEYOND BELIEF! I will start this workout again tomorrow! It works!!! In a few weeks I’ve gone from 227 to 205. I’m hoping this will tone me through my weight loss journey. ❤ thank you!!!

After delivering a healthy 10lb baby, I developed a diastasis recti with a 4-finger gap. I started workouts with another channel at 6 weeks pp. After a month and a half, my gap is down to 2.5 fingers, and I've lost 7 lbs. I figured I was finally ready for a challenge. So, today was my first day doing one of your workouts, and I gotta say, I feel amazing! Truly, I feel like a beast! Lol I've done many workouts over the years and this was my favorite so far. I'm subscribing and making your videos part of my weekly schedule. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this and helping countless individuals reach their potential. God bless you ❤

really felt the burn with this one! great job everyone!!

Tysm this really helped me because I am a beginner and I got confused on the around the world

Hiya I yave just found your cha Nelson and am enjoying your workouts ...I am 63 yrs old with a little bit of weight to loose as well as wanting to keep fit and tone up ...I gave been doing some form of exercise every day ..(there is so much on U Tube amazing)..moderately and do use lighter weights .when working with them ...Thankyou ❤👍

I always enjoy these 20 minute work outs. Its enough to get the heart rate going but yet saves me when I am running short on time and can't do something longer. Not to mention if you have a hard time focusing, 20 minutes is perfect.

When she said "last movement" I couldn't believe it was already over. Never happened before! Really enjoyed it.

Thank you! Recovering from knee surgery and this focus is perfect

Great for beginners. You can adapt the weights. Let's go for some streching!

Have been doing your shorter standing arms workouts, and really enjoyed this one that included abs. I am a senior who is restricted to standing workouts with lighter dumbbells. So this was perfect for me. Thank you!

I am 71 years young. I do hard core workouts regularly however I just had my second bout with Covid. It takes time to build up to where I was. This workout was perfect for gaining back strength while still working out. I am looking forward to checking out more of your workouts and will probably keep them as part of my regular routine increasing weight as I go. Really like it and the slow and steady is the optimum ways to go.

I broke a couple of my ribs 8 weeks ago slipping on ice...this is a great workout for me! I love lifting and this was doable for me and I'm so happy I can work out again!

I been working out for 3 months with this video. Thank you. I have a lot of improvements with my health. Felt stronger than before and lose weight.

I love how you focus on slow and steady movements. Thanks for the great workouts!

I liked how you combined arms and abs into one routine.

Former runner here. Having my second total knee replacement in 3 weeks. I SO APPRECIATE that you offer totally standing workouts!

I'm 47, and I'm 10 lbs over weight and this is an amazing workout for me. Not too strenuous, working on abs (my main focus) and my arms! Thank you so much for this, very much appreciated.

Thank you so much for this workout! I am rehabbing an injured knee, and this was exactly the kind of work out I was looking for!

Love this! Would be great to see more standing abs/arms 20-30mins workouts, thats the only one i can find...

I love how she makes her standing arms workouts with dumbbells so much fun, achievable, doable and challenging at the same time. Loving these workouts.🏩

Great content! I'm a 51 yr old gal that works out regularly, I typically use 15lb weights, for this workout I used 10lbs, boy am I glad I did!! I love the different workouts you provide; different muscle groups being worked in different patterns. Thank you! 🤩💪

Two thumbs up!! In my 50s and usually do yoga or pilates. This was a perfect pace, good music, and spot on challenge. Note for others: this has NO jumping or squats. NO floor work.

Time flies when you're having fun! Repeating I learned better balance. Love loden green, peaceful.

You are amazing! I’m a 67 year old female and a regular gym attender for most of my adult life. I started your routines while I was quarantined with Covid and love them. A month post-Covid and I’m still exercising to you. Thank you!

My favourite workout so far!

LOVE the no repeat and ALL standing. Getting at those muscle groups from another direction. Would love more of these!

Thanks for the standing strength workouts! Us seniors really appreciate them.

I really enjoy weights to music rather than counting my reps! Thank your for these great workouts!

I made myself a New Year challenge that I would do a 15 or 20 minute work out every day and these are perfect ! Loving doing them, thank you !

I'm 43, dealing with a long recovery from COVID (cardiac issues), and am 5 years post-hysterectomy. I've also got a lot of neck and back issues. Pre-COVID, I was strength training hardcore for 3 hours/week, and I'm realizing I may have been overdoing it and working against myself. Your workouts (specifically standing - so much easier on the neck and back!), including the slower, more focused pace, have literally brought me back from my lowest physical point, ever. You make fitness accessible again. Thank you SO much - I'd love more standing workouts! So grateful to have found your channel!

Loved it! Was totally uncoordinated and surprised how bad my balance is….. but it was first day. I’m 62 and post menopause big mid section!! (mostly) . See you tomorrow

Loved that. Have been trying to find workouts my mum (who is a 'senior') could try and think this will work if she uses very light weights, or no weights at all. She doesn't like coaches who are too shouty, so this is perfect! Awesome.

Just found your channel and love it! I hate getting on the floor to exercise, so these routines are perfect.

Dear person reading this you are so so sweet!😀

I love the verbal cues of how you should align your body and breathing during the workout. Keep it up!

Love 20-30 minutes of no repeat! Good body cues!

Your music and moves are both awesome 😎

I did this workout for the first time today. Only difficulty I experienced was with the "Around the World" move. Other than that, I found the workout to be great! Thank you!

Love these workouts.

Hi, I'm 70 really enjoyed your workout. The pace was awesome. So different from others I have done. Grateful & sold on your work 💖🌻

I’m 51 + I just started following you. Did my second exercise today. I’m really enjoying the your videos.❤

I love these standing abs and arms workouts. I suffer with arthritis in the neck and there is no neck strain during these standing workouts. And they really work.

This one really got the sweat going! I've been doing the light barre arms for months and thought there was no way I could lift 8 pounds but I got through this entire routine with them! Yay! On the downside, not as much ab work as I would have liked. I'm definitely coming back to this one for arm work.

Such a great workout for the core abs and arms!! Going to have this one on repeat. So good!

I'm loving these standing workouts! Been consistently doing your workouts for about 2 weeks now and love how you make them so doable actually started out with 5lb weights and am now completing the workouts with 8lb weights.

Mik your videos are amazing. So encouraging and I love when it feels like you are finding the moves tough too 😄 I feel like Arnie after this one 😂 Tysm ❤

Thank you, Mik. Loved this workout. I do my best and use lighter weights as usual. I, too, appreciate your tone when instructing us. It's perfect.

I've been doing 20 minutes of your videos every day for a few months and keep coming back to this one when I need something effective, familiar, and not too sweaty. Also, my favourite sweater is now too tight around the biceps. Sad I can't wear it, but happy the exercise is working!

Love this it was great. I love the breaks in between, you explain and demonstrate well!

I love the pace and the focus on clean movements. I feel my muscles learning.

I'm definitely copying when I go to the gym thanks

Ooh, love everything about this workout!! I can't pick any individual favorite, because they're all my favorites!!! Awesome burn 🔥 and feeling terrific!! Week 5/Day 4 of the Winter Challenge 2023 is done and dusted with a big smile 😁!! Yay!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!!!!

Thank you so much! I am so proud I was able to complete this routine without stopping or modifying any moves! 🎉

Thank you! This is VERY beginner-friendly and doesn't hurt my knees or lungs 😅. And girls, If you don't 'feel' the burn maybe u should add more weight because it DOES burn when I use 4kgs dumbell❤

Really enjoy these - thank you

Finally a great one for someone who’s starting out with weights thank you x

Very nice workout, soft and gentle yet challenging!🎉❤

I am 63 y/o, this was my first work-out with weights in more than 3 months. I liked the pace, it was very doable. I started with my 3 lb dumb bells that that was just the right amount, not too easy not too hard. I look forward to doing it tomorrow. I will look up your other video tonight. Thank you for making this video it will be very helpful... I am sure.

Omg😮 amazing 20 minutes is good for my age 58 . I feel strong thank you so much

I love that we don’t repeat workouts 🤗

They say consistency is key. I’m post-menopausal; this is my second time (this week) doing one of your videos, and I’ve already begun to feel stronger. I’ve done ALL kinds of workouts, hiit, boxing, yoga, Pilates, the lady that works your “secondary” muscles, you name it… but none of them has made me feel stronger or stand taller.

This was awesome! Beginner friendly but also challenging. Haha I definitely underestimated my 3kg dumb bells. It was tough but we made it through!

Once again, a big thank you for sharing exercises that I love doing with you. In my opinion, it is not always necessary to do things quickly, even slowly we work very well at it. Thanks a lot.👍🤗🥰🇨🇦

Been doing this for 5 days straight so far, definitely a little bit sore but my underarms are no longer "wings" and I am feeling tightening in my stomach. As a 59 year old who quit lifting 5 years ago, your workouts are amazing, easy to follow, and are actually showing results! Will be trying your longer workouts this next week :)

I too love your clarity and calm! I have done a few different ones and they are pretty easy to fit in right after work! I feel like it is 20 minutes well spent and i also just happen to be sweating buckets?

I love the dumbell workout in this channel …appreciate your efforts ❤️

Her workouts are amazing! They changed my life in a few days. I worked out with Grow with Jo, Fitness Kay Kay, Arica Sky, Heather Robertson, Move with Nicole, Caroline Girvan and others i think. But they all caused my body more stress = water retention! I felt horrible for years. My body was not lean even though i was working out alot. Miks workouts are just perfect! I feel great ❤️

Love the slow, controlled toning workouts!! Thank you!!!

Thanks for teaching me that I am SPASTICALLY uncoordinated! 🤣 I hope I pulled a muscle in my chest, otherwise… 😆 I actually made it through the whole thing! Woop woop! 💪🏼💪🏼

The most favourite workouts channel.. easy to follow, and sweats...i will do every morning.. thank you so much

Standing abs are my favorite! I grabbed some heavy weights and this was awesome!

I loved this workout. I only had my husband's 5KG weights so it was INTENSE. I'll definitely be doing this one again on arm day!

I am 62, love these workouts, balance improving each time!!!!

Awesome work out thank you 😊

Week 5 day 4 ✔️👌. Super combination standing workout for arms and abs. I really enjoy the tempo and your combination of moves is well thought out. 20 minutes is a super length, you can generally fit it into even the most hectic of schedule ✔️👍

Clear instructions, simplicity at its best, music cool, thank you as a senior I use a 3 lbs dumbells, eventually aiming to get lift 8lbs, someday 😎💯

Thank you Mik for your mindful movement, breathing cues, your slow and relaxed yet effective exercise videos - it is really helping me a lot as I have back injuries so I need to take it slowly and breath properly but I also want to keep fit.

Loved this one! Would love to see more like it! Love the green 💚 🥰

Love this workout too!

❤‍🔥 feeling the burn again!

It was great. Thank u. I could feel the burn

This is my first workout with your channel and I have to say I really enjoyed. Definitely 👍 and will follow and do more.

I'm glad I found this channel, it sure is a challenge for my age but I managed to do these slowly though I struggled with the lateral biceps exercise. It's worth it. I feel so good❤

Love all your workouts! Can't believe how quickly this one went 👏💪

This is a great standing arms and abs workout! My husband and I used 5 pound weights. I'm a senior so appreciate not having to get down on the floor. Thanks for this video!

Love your workouts. They are the only strength workouts I do.

Loved this video this AM! I’ve been doing your workouts for 6 months and they’re the best. Keep those standing abs videos coming! ☺️

I've been sick since my last work out with you. I'm feeling better today. Just completed my 2nd workout with you. Feels great to get moving again.

Good workout, quick , easy and i feel the burn

I am beginning to love your workout routines. You take it nice and slow but I still feel the burn and end up sweaty as. 🥰

Another great workout Mik! Loved it - no-repeat, all standing Abs & Arms - Effective!

I really enjoy your workout. Love working with weights. Thank you.

Thanks Love all the standing workouts!
