A short YouTube fitness tutorial by Natalie Jill presenting an upper-body and abdominal bodyweight workout. She leads viewers through three main movements—shoulder pushups (pike pushup progression), push-ups with a twist into side planks (60 seconds total, or 30s per side modification), and traveling hop-throughs—giving form cues, pacing (about 15 reps or as many as possible within a minute for shoulder pushups; 60 seconds for the push-up/twist sequence), and regressions. The video closes with a promotional call-to-action directing viewers to her paid "Stronger" program for more advanced training.

Hey, guys. Natalie, Jill here. Welcome back to Happy, Healthy and Fit. Today we're doing an ultimate upper body and ab shredder using your own body weight. Just a few exercises, but they are challenging. Are you ready?
Okay, guys, all you need for this one is your own body weight. Now, this is a small, abbreviated version of what I have in my stronger program. So if you want more like this, make sure you stay tuned till the very end. After this workout, I'm going to tell you exactly where to get more. Okay, we're going to start with exercise number one. We've got shoulder pushups. You're going to go to a pike position, put your hands down flat, and you're going to be in this little pike position. So you're working your whole body. But now we're going to take it to a little shoulder pushup, up and down, using your own body weight, you're going to feel it in your shoulders. This is the beginning step to being able to hold yourself up with a handstand. So if you can get this down, we're getting stronger. You're going to be able to master this. It's going to really help to define those shoulders, so keep this going. You want to do about 15 reps or as many as you can within a minute. That's the goal. Next, we've got from that original plank position, bring it down to a push up. And we've got a push up with a twist, bringing it to a side plank. So take it down and up, down and up, alternate sides, back and forth for 60 seconds total, one minute. Now, to make this more challenging, you can stick on one side at a time, so stay on one side for 30 seconds, then move to the other side for 30 seconds. But either way, you're going to feel this in your whole body. It's an awesome one. Next, we've got a traveling hop through. So you're going to start in a crouch position with your feet and palms on the floor. Walk your hands out to a plank position, and then you're going to hop your feet up to your hands. Now, if you're not quite there yet, you can walk your feet up, but that hop is going to help with this intensity, and you're going to repeat it. You did it. How are you feeling? You should have really felt that. Now you have choices. You can do the whole thing again. You can check out other videos on my channel. But if you want to get in the best shape of your life and you want to train exactly how I train, and you want to take it up a notch. You've got to do my stronger, complete program. And you can get that at the link below, and you can be part of it. Are you in?
