5AM FULL WEEK OF WORKOUTS + WHAT I EAT | my upper & lower body routine to gain strength & confidence 

Love that you have the respect to blur other peoples face but also bodies! I’m always so self conscious at the gym thinking I’ll end up in the background of someone’s RU-vid video and get made fun of. Lol

Blurring out, respectful. Big kudos to you. & GREAT full leg day!!!!! Love your routine!

Oh man. This is great. You showed what quiet Discipline looks like. Not everything has to be so hype motivation hoopla. We’re not always hype. This shows the grind without hurry. Just being in a state of performance

I’m a new subscriber and these are the type of videos I’ve been dying to watch. Love itttt! Just watching any of your videos gives me a great amount of energy and motivation.

I love how she blurs out everyone and anyone who might be in awkward positions. So respectful.

No pain no gain 💪🏾 you are a true inspiration to keep workout and thriving 💯❤️All Love ova here ❤️

Thanks for the workout motivation also a big YES from me for blurring out everyone's faces it makes me so self conscious at the gym wondering if I'm in the back of people's videos unknowingly

The most impressive thing for me in this videos is how amazingly organized you are, I am sure that makes your life so much easier.

I just found you!! I absolutely love your aesthetic and that you don’t ramble. So raw and real!! Will be staying and getting comfy on your side on the internet!!

Girl I saw you for the first time with a tiktok on my for you page, then I found out that you had a youtube channel, and then I started loving your content more and more! I just started my healthy and fitness lifestyle, and you are such motivation and inspiration! I hope to have a podcast of you one day for when Im in the gym, I would absolutely love that! Keep doing you, take rest, and keep going, love you! ❤️

I love how you just powered through all your workouts even at home 🔥 you make me want to stay more consistent in the gym ‼️ you look amazing ❤️‍🔥

So underrated I have no idea how she doesn’t have a million subscribers already

Inspired to definitely stretch more, organize my meals better and be more consistent with once a week HIIT. All humans are linked and if you can do it so can I. I work nightshift, am a single parent of two and just started learning to code but health is the greatest wealth and I can definitely tighten up my process. Again thanks I am inspired.

Melanie you motivate me on so many levels! All your videos are so calming, zen, and motivational! Keep ‘em coming lil sis!!! ♥️

Bro your back goes CRAZY!!!! Yes Mel! Your progress is insane, proud of you babes ❤️

This is incredible, you’re an artist! This isn’t just a fitness video, all the music and how you edited it, it’s fire!!! Soo refreshing! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love that you don't go gym to flaunt yourself, you go and do you. Nice to see 👌

This really inspired me today! Recently I’ve been having really bad insomnia. I usually work out at 6AM every day but my routine has been suffering because of how exhausted I am. But if u can do it with such consistency I know I can too! This video really pushed me to get back on track and give my fitness my all 💜

Just a side note but I absolutely love that you respect other people's privacy and blur them out in the background! Thank you for being considerate ❤

You take such good care of yourself. It really makes me think how I can change the relationship I have with myself and how I can do a better job of showing up for me.

I truly enjoy your channel your editing never the same always different and unique and I appreciate that love especially with you being yourself as well

earliest i've ever been to one of your vlogs and i love that for me

I look forward to your uploads! Thank you for sharing. This makes me want to take my workout routine from the house to an actual gym

I really love your Sweat Day concept!!🔥 I recently added a 6th day to my routine, I’ve been running 2-3 miles and then abs. Low key though, I think I enjoyed watching your sweat day more. 😍 Might have to steal the idea and incorporate it into my own routine! I’ll save the distance runs for shoulder day maybe 🤔 Great video Mel, your killing it 💯❤️‍🔥

WOW Melanie, you are a huge inspiration to me, to say the least. Watching your growth for the past years has been so beautiful and I am so proud of you. Thank you for being you and sharing that with the world.

Idk how I came across your RU-vid but your Channel is very comforting and I can relate to your vibe. Keep it going!

That's a huge commitment, thanks for sharing your experience!

Just what I needed to finish my day ,thank you for uploading ❤ I had the shitiest day... you made me feel better 💕

The best fitness and nutrition content on RU-vid by miles well done mel and get a recipe book done the food looks delish

What I most respect about Lady Melanie Patricia Cruz is that she trains all by herself. Ppl, don't have an idea just how hard that truly is. Her dedications to all aspects of her lifestyle is a thing of beauty to watch. Notice the zero selfies? As a Boxing Trainer & Educator, we all wish for students & athletes just like her. Now, her #1 Fan from afar.

This somewhat (raw footage) with no commentary and no music for every point of the video is actual really nice to watch.

Love your content and I hope that everyday will inspire you to do more love you

early morning workouts are the best. Such a great way to start any day :) also, such a peaceful yet motivating video.

I appreciate this no talking video.

Girl your music choice goes hard! Thank you from a mama of three who is finding herself once again. You have no idea what your videos do. Xoxo

I love how RU-vidrs go to the gym like it’s their job‼️ putting that time towards something productive and inspiring❣️👏🏼☀️🙌🏻💯

not only did you provide amazing content, but you were so respectful the entire time by wearing a mask and blurring out the people in the back. definitely subbing :)

Love it! No words needed, straight to the point.

Your hard work and dedication is truly inspiring. Thanks for a sneak peak into your wonderful world of fitness. I’m inspired to get my ass up early and sweat :)

Absolutely love this!!! Me: takes out a notebook and writes down whole workout routine!!! Thanks Mel ❤️❤️❤️

I love how real this is!! I’ll have to try and follow this routine!

Same exact body shape as me...!!! how is this possible..in the thousands of fitness RU-vidrs I've watched, I could never find one even remotely similar to me. Thank you so much for your channel!!! You're making me love my body, you are stunning!!

not gon lie- you have the cutest blender lol its so 80s style to me..

dude so much respect for blurring out people’s faces at the gym! i thought none of the fitness influencers did that until i came to your channel. thank you

Thank you for respecting people’s privacy at a public place like the gym. I often see content creators crossing privacy boundaries.

More videos like this?? Have them up while on the treadmill, feeling inspired!

melanie ilysm my relatable inspirational queen

Thank you for the routines and the inspiration.

love your vlogs!!! makes me motivated to workout :D i wake up and im like UGH 6am but it feels so good after.

You’re so disciplined! Truly an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your routines. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Out of all the workout videos I've seen, this one motivates me the most

This was such a calming vlog 🤍🙏🏾

The way my heart melted when he took your hand at 1:12

You are AMAZING! You never know how your videos inspire me to continue working out! 🙏🏻

Her videos are amazing the editing everything is just really cool !💗

That’s dope that your partner is waking up with you🙌🏾

probably here most helpful; and in depth one I've seen thank you, and calming to watch too

Is there a 'like' button for infinity? Because that's how much I adore your posts

I like how realistic this is and respect to blurring out others in the gym

Omg. Your body is like a well- oiled machine! This is my 1st time watching your videos and it’s amazing what you can do with your body. I noticed how you stretch abs warm up pre work out to keep your muscles flexible and lean. I will be incorporating that into my routine as well.

This was so good! I’m a beginner and this is so helpful, thank you!

this is truly commendable, and the insights into your upper and lower body routine for strength and confidence are inspiring! It brings back memories of the profound teachings from my life coach, Lisa Haisha, during her impactful retreat in the Philippines. Both your fitness journey and Lisa's wisdom serve as a constant source of inspiration on my path to greatness.

Love the fact that you hide people!!!

Girl you moviate me so much and I love you your now my comfort youtuber

Your food looks BoMB 💣 I wish I had that special creative touch like you do

I’m really never the type to write anything on a RU-vid video, but let me just tell you I love your video I’m a new subscriber it was so peaceful, so calm. I didn’t skip at all. I’m not really a fan of people just talking & talking, or the back ground noise. Keep up the good work bae ❤

Never been here before. The video quality and edits drew me in from the preview. Amazing job girl!
