Nourish Move Love is a channel I recently discovered on Youtube which is run by Lindsey, a personal trainer and fitness instructor. She has a number of youtube videos and on her website, you can view the videos by duration, type of workout and by equipment.
As I am writing this, I have one day left of the 4 week workout challenge. This is my first time doing one of the NML challenges and I am feeling great! Here is my quick review of this workout.
I love Lindsey’s energy, she is very chatty and is great with her instructions. There is also no music in her workouts which is because she chats the entire time haha. In terms of the program, it is very carefully thought out and can certainly be done in the comfort of your own home. Lindsey is also great with providing modifications if you need it.
In terms of difficulty I would classify this program as intermediate. I love that the types of workouts vary (from strength to cardio and there is also a few barre workouts in there) and that the duration also varies. If you are just beginning to work out, you can certainly give this a try and perhaps lighten the weight as it can be really challenging if you opt for the weight that Lindsey uses in the video.
In terms of variety, you will definitely not be bored with this schedule. There is tons of variety and I like that the calendar allows for one “stretch” day and a rest day and that the two days are not consecutive. I usually don’t take two consecutive rest days so its nice that this calendar matches that preference.
I also like that there are different formats with respect to the exercises, I particularly enjoyed the style and layout of the pyramid workouts as although there is repetition involved, it certainly did not feel like it.
The duration of the daily workouts vary from 30 to 40 minutes which is a great for those that don’t have tons of time for an hour workout each day. I also really liked that some of the videos featured regular people and not fitness models who were doing the workouts. It was truly motivating and relatable.
Lastly, I really liked that the stretch at the start and end of the workout was included in the video and I didn’t have to refer to a whole separate video which is sometimes the case for other programs.
I will leave the link to the calendar I used here and would encourage you to give it a try and let me know what you think!
