it's time for another tier list video
before i get into this video i did want
to remind you to go check out my new
podcast girl on the internet you can
stream it on anchor spotify and apple
i'll have it linked in the description
of this video be sure to check it out or
rate it and listen every single friday
the other day i was thinking to myself
i've actually tried so many different
types of workouts of workout classes i
feel that i have a good opinion of how i
feel about every single one of them i
have some favorites i have some least
favorites i have thoughts about
different types of workouts and i wanted
to share them with you but let's make it
fun let's turn it into a tier list let's
talk about the categories of how i'm
going to be ranking these different
workouts so at the top we have
incredible all-around this means i feel
good after the workout i got my money's
worth i got my sweat in this is
definitely one of those workouts that i
have in my back pocket like it's my
go-to workout when i don't really feel
like doing anything else the next
category is a good sweat now this means
it's an intense workout it's good and i
may do it again but is it my favorite
not necessarily but i definitely got my
workout in and i'm probably going to
post about it on instagram in some way
shape or form then we have the middle
category which is underrated to be
honest this to me means that this
workout is underrated more people should
be doing it it's got so many benefits to
it that more people could be doing it
why aren't more people talking about it
underrated tbh the second to last
category is forcing me to go now this
means i will go do the workout i'll go
i'll endure it i'll sweat i'll pay the
money and you'll hear about it and i'll
let everyone know it'll be everybody's
problem and the very last category on
the tier list is i'd rather sleep
now this means hey kayla we're going to
a workout class and you send me the
itinerary and i see what class it is and
i'm like
i'm asleep y'all have fun i'm asleep
starting off strong you know we've got
this lovely stock photo of somebody
walking and
if you know you know but this is an
immediate incredible all-around workout
for me and for so many others walking i
feel is just an elite form of exercise
you can do it indoor you can do it
outdoor you can do it for five minutes
you can do it for an hour you don't need
fancy equipment you don't need a fancy
workout outfit you can go alone in a
group you can walk in a park in a city
um on a trail it makes you feel good you
can get yourself sweating really hard or
you cannot sweat at all especially if
you're getting started in workout
wellness health journey like if you
don't know where to start just start
walking a little bit every day it makes
a huge difference and also we could go
into so much detail about the mental
health benefits and just other bodily
benefits that walking
gives to us when we partake in such an
exercise and for that reason
she's incredible all around next up
we're talking about pilates which if
you've never done pilates before this is
a picture of reformer pilates which is
done on that machine pilates can be done
with body weight with light weights it
can be done
you know in your in your home in a
workout studio i'll never forget when i
went to my first pilates class and they
gave me one pound weights i was like
one one pound
i can lift like so much more in the gym
than a pound but when you're focusing on
the movement of your extremities and
your core and these like small pulsating
movements you're like a pound feels like
50. it's insane i'm gonna have to rank
it as a good sweat i almost put it in
the underrated tbh category you're
working way harder than you think you're
going to especially when they give you
small weights or you're just doing the
smallest movement but then it ends up
actually being extremely difficult but
in the most beneficial way possible i'm
glad that it's regaining popularity
because
pilates you know
she's not messing around moving right
along we have our next workout which is
running out of all of these workouts and
any that i'm missing i really don't hate
any type of workout but for some reason
i just hate running i've really tried to
give it the benefit of the doubt i've
tried different things i've ran a couple
5ks in my life i've really done my due
diligence to try not to hate it but for
some reason
i just can't get out of my head with it
it's not the workout for me and some
people are just like born to be runners
or become runners or you know they've
been running tracks since like middle
school and great for you
but for me
running
if someone is texting me in the morning
and they're like hey kayla we're going
for a run and for
me i'd rather be asleep i'm so sorry
you can text me any other workout but if
you're gonna tell me we're gonna run
i will likely stay in bed i will ignore
your text i will pretend i never got it
now we're all walking at a chill pace
like that's fine but like a running
group i just don't understand the
dynamic of that like how are we doing
like how are we all setting a pace like
what's happening and also i'm gonna be
out of breath within the first 45
seconds and that's really embarrassing
for me and i don't need other people to
witness that
and because of that
i'm gonna be sleeping while y'all are
running have a good time but i'm gonna
be in bed
it's just that is what it is the next
workout i'm gonna be sharing my thoughts
on
is outdoor bicycle riding now this is
different than an indoor cycle
group workout i have that on here as
well but i'm talking about your generic
bicycle writing outside i definitely
have like a really good childhood memory
of bicycle writing i haven't done it as
much in my adult life only because now i
don't own a bicycle and also i live in a
city so i think in that capacity if
you're able to have a bicycle as an
adult and take it to like a really nice
park area and ride it
i'm gonna 1000 say that it is underrated
to be honest because bicycle riding is
it's just so comforting and it's also
really good for your joints i like it as
well because it gives you the
opportunity to be outside for just a
leisure bicycle
little workout activity to get your
heart rate up and to feel good and to be
outside for sure outdoor cycling is
going to be underrated as a workout in
itself next up i want to talk about yoga
and i'm gonna go ahead and just pop it
into the underrated tbh category because
it has like so many layers to it because
yoga can be like an entire workout in
itself i have been incorporating yoga
into like a morning stretch or an
evening stretch i've been to so many
yoga classes too where i just feel at
peace because the instructor is really
good at helping you get out of your head
and just kind of move with your body and
kind of become one with your body and
you just feel good and grounded and calm
and i think that's why yoga is so
amazing as well i feel like it's one of
the most popular things you can find on
youtube they have sitting at your desk
in a corporate office yoga they have in
your apartment yoga in your hotel room
yoga so i think it's so layered that way
that it proves itself to be an
underrated workout every single time now
this one i definitely kind of snuck into
this category and that's hiking hiking
is
so amazing again sort of like cycling
where you get to be outside you're
enjoying nature but you're also
absolutely putting your body to the
ultimate test you are going up this
massive incline you are roughing the
terrain what i love so much about hiking
especially in north carolina you can
hike in gorgeous mountains that have the
best views there's a lot of places you
can go to that have waterfalls so you
can hike to a waterfall and then go
swimming and then hike back like i just
love it so much because it is such an
enjoyable like activity it's just
something fun to do you don't really
realize that it is in itself this really
intense workout that's why hiking is a
good sweat this next one is bringing
back flashbacks from high school when
we're talking about dance workouts by
the way i had a couple of friends in
high school that lived near the ymca and
try to go sneak into the y
and attend zumba classes they definitely
like to call you out and put you on the
spot for someone that has no rhythm that
is absolutely suffering and struggling
in the back of the class and is in the
back of the class for a reason
um so for that reason i don't love it i
don't know what it is god gave me so
many gifts in life but dancing and
rhythm is just not one of them
and i am like traumatized from going to
those classes especially when they
freaking call you out when you're like
six steps behind in the back of the
class and i'm just trying to keep up
and they want to call you out i'm like
please don't oh the amount of times i
had to go to the front of the class to
be next to the instructor bye bye if i'm
gonna go you're forcing me to go that's
all i'm gonna say like if we are
absolutely going to a zuma class
someone's forcing me or someone paid for
my
class ticket to go that's the only
reason i'm gonna go next we're moving
into another sort of workout that it's
not
extremely official but i feel like it
counts for something and this is just a
sports workout i used to be a volleyball
player
back in the day and i absolutely love
playing volleyball i actually miss it so
so much it was so much fun to do when i
was younger and i still love it a lot so
this category sort of represents just
general sport playing workouts i think
when people think i have to do a workout
or i have to exercise but i think people
often forget that you can just play a
sport and like
that's going to count as a workout your
body's going to move you're going to
sweat and you're going to feel good
people that play basketball that golf
that
plays soccer you know gymnastics
cheerleading for that i think people
don't think about it enough that just
playing a sport is a workout in itself
so i'm moving it to the underrated tbh
category moving on to the next workout
that i have is swimming but let's talk
about why swimming is incredible all
around right it's good on your joints
it's underwater you get to enjoy being
outside or in a lake in a pool in the
ocean whatever
and your body gets to move in a way it
doesn't get to on land even if you're
not swimming these incredible laps
throughout the pool just being in the
water and swimming a little bit is still
just incredible all around next up we're
talking about kickboxing now if you've
been on my channel since the very very
beginning or you've been following me on
instagram from the very beginning that's
sort of where my love for working out
and fitness kind of came from such an
amazing
form of working out i feel like you're
doing so many things in kick wax and
you're working on agility and balance
and strength and power you get to do a
little bit of hit and a little bit of
cardio and i just love it for so many
reasons which is why i'm moving
kickboxing to a good sweat
category you're gonna get the most bang
for your buck you're gonna absolutely
sweat your butt off doing it and you're
gonna feel
a level of power and excitement that
you've never felt with any of these
other workouts and
i really really miss kickboxing and i
actually wish i could start it again i
really do miss it all right this next
one i feel like i'm gonna ruffle some
feathers talking about it but this is
just my own personal opinion okay nobody
come for me the next one is these like
hit workout group classes berries burn
boot camp orange theory
fill in the blank whatever is in your
area i'm not a fan i don't know what it
is about these classes they make me so
irrationally angry and i don't know what
it is it just stresses me out i don't
even feel like i'm enjoying myself i'm
worried so much about like is the
instructor gonna come over and
absolutely scream at me because my
push-up is not perfect like what's gonna
happen i think too when i'm in these
group workout classes like this as well
i feel compelled to compare myself to
other people in the class which i know
is a me thing when people ask me to go
to these like group workout classes
that's all hit training
i just like it's too much and i feel
like if i walk away for two seconds to
grab water like someone's gonna yell at
me and i just
i'm just like not a fan so i'll say this
i'm not gonna never go to one ever again
like i'm sure there'll be some point in
my life where i'll go to one of these
again but i'm probably going to be
forced to go i'm gonna be
negative netly about it and you're gonna
hear everything i have to say about it
the next one i'm talking about is bar
workouts now this is very similar to
pilates but they are slightly different
it really humbles you okay
um
i have a bold personality i do not like
to be humbled i like to be comfortable
but also test myself when appropriate
but when i am put in my place and cannot
recover from it
i don't like it i also if you haven't
noticed i'm not a dainty person i'm not
a delicate dainty
gentle human i'm very much a bull in a
china shop in all aspects of life and i
feel like the girlies that go to bar are
very well put together i don't have
enough grace and balance
and stamina to really appear
at a bar workout i am shaking in my
boots okay and it's humbling me and i'm
not loving it and the other girls around
me are just breathing really calmly
they're not turning bright red they have
their lives together and i'm dying on
the other end of the bar um that's been
my experience with bar workouts again
hey we're going to do a workout this
morning oh what workout are we doing oh
we're going to a bar class
like i'm gonna be asleep so we're
putting this in that i'd rather be
asleep i just i you guys are going to
the bar workout i'm going on a walk and
that's where we're different a little
bit of hatred toward it a little bit of
ptsd but it's fine let's talk about my
thoughts on these indoor cycle classes i
flipping love a cycle class
especially if you ride peloton with cody
rigsby he is my man i love him no one
ever hypes me up like cody rigsby hypes
me up okay in a group effort but like
when you're on a stationary bike like no
one else can see your screen no one else
knows how fast you're going or what your
resistance is like you're all just there
empowering each other i feel like
there's an element of judgment in like a
burn boot camp class i don't know that's
just how i feel that's just my opinion
there's just like a community element
with a cycle class and i just feel
really appreciated and welcomed and i
feel like i am working myself in the
best way possible and you know what i'm
popping this under a good sweat
specifically like the group workout
classes because seriously you will leave
like a soul cycle class absolutely
drenched in sweat but you will feel
amazing and so many it's almost like how
yoga makes you feel
but you're just a lot more sweaty like
yoga makes me feel empowered and happy
mentally and physically and i know i got
a good sweat in and it was worth the
entire ride
and
it's the best again especially peloton
cody rigsby
absolute chef's kiss we're jumping back
into the pool for this next one
and
we're talking about water aerobics and i
don't want to hear that it's just for
old people that it's the old person's
thing no
okay i know i have a stock photo of some
elderly ladies in the pool but let's
talk about why water aerobics is
underrated tbh okay when i was in school
for physical therapy we actually took a
field trip to an aquatics center with a
giant pool and we did so many crazy
workouts under the water all of us were
in shock and we were all you know pretty
healthy we like did exercise science
whatever and we were doing these
exercises in the pool underwater with
weights and we were all shocked at how
intense it is have you ever ran on a
treadmill under the water
no well you should try it because it's
really hard again so many benefits to
doing exercise and movement under the
water for just decompression of your
joints to just feel better all around
it's almost like you're combining
swimming with a little bit of pilates
like you're doing these really small
movements with or without the weights
but the water it's like the pressure of
the water and the buoyancy or something
but it's making your muscles work
actually really really hard but in a
super underrated way
and that's why i don't think it's just
for old people okay like if you want to
go to the y and hop in the pool and do
water aerobics you should last but
certainly not least most of you already
know my thoughts on this
but good old strength training
it's immediately going into my
incredible all-around category and
there's so many other health benefits
talking about strengthening of bones you
know prevention of muscle breakdown you
know
strengthening of your joints and things
like that it improves longevity like it
helps with so many things in the future
that you can start now there's
resistance bands that you can use to the
options are endless with strength
training and for that reason i think
it's incredible all around because it
can be done in so many different ways it
makes you feel strong it helps with your
posture it helps with your
cardiovascular endurance it's just
amazing i hope you enjoyed this workout

workouts and let me know if your
opinions are different than mine and
