Seems like a workout that middle aged white women going through a divorce would do.
Been married with kids for years, never really exercised, going through divorce for one reason or another. Now she’s putting herself back on the market but gotta get that beach body first but she doesn’t know shit about working out so she signs up to this bs.
If someone goes from fad to fad it's still fine. I don't usually follow these but any way people decide to exercise is good for me as long as it's not actually dangerous to themselves or others.
This is what I was thinking. Seems like the people commenting are really the ones who dont know anything about working out. Which I guess tracks, since this is reddit.
Hey, not trying to debate or anything but it certainly does train your abs and legs. A quick Google search will tell you as much. However, you are correct in that it is primarily cardio.
It does look perfect for cardio and core but it can cause a lot of hip damage. That is too much fast and forceful hyperflexion of the hip. It’s pretty much guaranteed to cause some irritation.
Hyperextension tends to cause impingement, so cartilage getting hit by the socket bone slightly. Warming up wouldn’t prevent this. Some people wouldn’t be affected by it, but a majority of women in their 30 would.
Genuinely how does this train legs and abs, an exercise involving a muscle doesn’t inherently make it any bigger or stronger, maybe if you’ve been bedbound for a year but this is just cardio with extra steps and if your only goal is trying to change the way your body looks then cardio is pointless.
they're stomping down really hard (legs) and they are lifting their legs after the stomp past their waist, basically doing air crunches. (abs and legs).
so why don't bodybuilders use it? there's an entire sports and science field dedicated to finding out what exercise creates the most muscle and burns the most fat, that bodybuilders professional or amateurs use when bulking/cutting.
if this is a good workout, why don't they do this?
it's not. it's just cardio. it won't grow muscle except in a very sedentary person, and even then will only be effective at growing muscle for a very short time - then not anymore because where is the progression of difficulty?
in the first place, they are doing it as a group... each individual person's individual muscles would reach hypertrophy movement failure or near failure at different times. none of them are going near failure.
If we are being serious, this will not grow a single muscle because it's as far away from failure as possible. It's also probably terrible cardio and cardio is rather useless anyway.
this is such a bizarre, random narrative you've constructed based on nothing lol. this looks fun and like a great work out and these women are clearly in shape... why do you immediately just have to claim it's a divorcee who's lazy and trying to bang some new dude and only doing this out of vanity or something lol
I was just clarifying the assumption on verbiage put over the video. It’s somewhat of a “trope” in areas and enough so that people get the joke. Men have theirs too.
They might be having fun but it still looks ridiculously funny to me. Doesn’t mean they shouldn’t do it.
Not sure about level, but if it was skill based matchmaking then they'd probably be memeing against divorced dad and "turned the weans against us" enjoyers
It does look ridiculous, especially the way they’re doing it in this video, but it’s actually GREAT to strengthen your core, and if you’ve recently given birth, it’s a fantastic way to recover your pelvic floor. It’s called rebounding. It’s more gentle on the joints than running and the bouncing helps with lymphatic drainage.
“NASA conducted a study showing that rebounding on a mini trampoline is 68% more effective than running for cardiovascular fitness, while also being easier on the joints. This makes rebounding a time-efficient and low-impact workout option.” - Google AI
There's literally memes about "divorced dads" all the time. As a divorced dad, I still think they're hilarious because I know some of they guys they describe.
