This is something I never would have expected to happen.
I'd never thought I'd be able to thank you in person which is really cool.
What is up guys, it's WWE NXT Superstar Tegan Nox and today I can't speak.
Cuz I am working out with none other than Captain Marvel herself,
Brie Larson, it's insane.
Brie recently created a YouTube channel, so for more great stuff like this,
go check it out now at youtube.com/Brie Larson.
Today's workout was written by WWE Strength Coach, Sean Hayes and all you'll
literally need is two resistance bands, five and 10 pound dumbbell.
If you're stronger, go stronger then do that but
today's workout is literally upper body because unfortunately,
as some of you know, both Bree and I are recovering from knee injuries.
So we're gonna get jacked and swoll up top.

Hello.
>> Hi.
>> It's nice to meet you, this is, like i said earlier, it's very crazy.
>> This is really, really exciting for me and it feels,
it feels apropos that you would be the first person that I'm training with,
in my like Captain Marvel gym, [LAUGH] >> It's the coolest gym,
it's one to be jealous of.
That's what I want mine to be like when I move next week.
[LAUGH] >> I'll give you all the hot tips, so
I'll let you know.
>> Please do.
>> It's pretty cool.
>> And the other thing that is kind of interesting is just that both of us have
been working with like lack of availability with our knees at times,
that's like the gentle way I'm putting it out for myself.
>> Yeah.
>> And so that was just, it's such a trip to be also like working with our bodies,
learning how to heal them and be like expressive and find joy and
love and forgiveness for them.
>> Exactly.
>> While were growing, yeah.
>> And I'm glad this is another reason this upper body cuz my legs are toast from
physical therapy yesterday [LAUGH] >> [LAUGH] Me too, cool, well great.
Well, this is awesome and lead me through it,
I'm here for whatever >> Okay cool
>> Whatever you have in store.
>> Okay, so let's do some mobility.
It's just simple pec leans, I don't know if you've done those before.
But basically you're gonna put your arms kind of shoulder width apart, and
then lean to the right and get a good stretch in your left pec.
>> How many hours do you train?
>> In ring we do about two to three,
well before the world shut down, we'd do three hours a day.
And then we come in and we've work out for maybe 32 hours.
So we're pretty busy the entire time.
You know, it's like, I guess with you and
after when you do something you love you sacrifice so much to just do it.
So as much as my body hurts, it feel great as well [LAUGH].
>> Yeah, exactly [LAUGH].
>> So when I watched Captain Marvel for the first time, and
probably the millionth time after that, I noticed a lot of wrestling moves in there.
>> Yeah.
>> Did you train wrestling?
>> Yeah, I did wrestling and judo.
>> Wow.
How'd you find that?
>> I love it, I was obsessed.
After the movie was done, I kept up with it.
And I would go to the gym and spar for hours.
>> I saw some in there, I was like, I know people who do that one.
>> [LAUGH] >> [LAUGH] That's so cool.
>> And then am stealing stuff for myself, I was like, I'll take that and
then I'll put it to my moves.
>> That's so cool, it's amazing.
>> So like I'm doing it, my coach is like, Captain Marvel, am like, yeah.
>> [LAUGH]. >> It's okay.
>> Okay, so the next thing we gonna do is seated face pulls.
Just gonna sit in your butt and then put the band on the soles of your feet.
Then kind of spread your legs apart a bit and then just pull the band to your face.
You can feel your back pinching again, we're going to do 15 on these two.
>> Up till your nose, that's what your doing?
>> Yeah, nose to eye area.
Just cool, as long as you can feel a pinch in your back.
What was it like putting on the Captain Marvel suit for the first time?
Felt that would be pretty rad.
>> It was really surreal because it's, it's armor [LAUGH].
>> Yeah.
>> It's a really complex thing and it required, I use to know the exact number.
It's around like 40, it takes about 40 people I think to make one of those suits.
>> Geez. >> Because there's so
many different specialty trades you know,
there's the people that make all of the molding that looks like the heart armor,
that's like this kind of softer material.
And then there's all the leather work.
You know, there's someone who would like just make,
was just like the specialist on the arms, and one was just especially on the legs,
and then you have the custom boots and the helmet.
So, it was really surreal and
I think what made it even weirder was how I had that costume I was.
We started working on the costume, probably a year before I ever wore it cuz
they didn't know how they were gonna construct it.
So it was many hours, many fittings.
And I couldn't take a photo, I couldn't tell anyone about it.
And cuz a lot of it was like we were starting on the costume,
I think it might've even been before anyone even knew I was captain Marvel.
So there was just, it was all very private and because I was so
scared to spoil things, I deleted it a lot from my brain.
But it was really cool, it´s still cool.
>> Yeah.
I can imagine, my god.
Like even putting on my wrestling gear, which is like based off Captain Marvel,
like I feel great right now.
>> Yeah.
>> So cool.
>> You have the decree one and the Captain Marvel one right?
>> I have the entire color, suit color changing scene.
>> Yeah, so you also have the one that's like the black with the rainbow.
>> Yeah.
>> That's so cool, I loved that one.
Yeah. >> Thank you.
>> Yeah. >> I've got them all.
And then when I got to the end of the scene, I was like,
I guess now I got to pick my own colors.
>> [LAUGH] >> It was really difficult to
pick my own colors.
So I was like asking my nephews, what's your favorite colors?
So I was like, well, I've already done blue, so I can't do that one again.
[LAUGH] >> [LAUGH]
>> He was like, he's like, I like flames.
I was like, Nice, I'll put some flames on there.
[LAUGH] [SOUND] Okay, so the next one is the glute bridges.
So- >> Okay.
>> You just gonna pick your arse up off the floor.
>> There we go.
[MUSIC]
>> Just press up.
[MUSIC]
Has there been a fan interaction with you that has really stuck out.
>> Yes. >> Anything that you've done.
>> Yes.
There's a couple.
Some I just like don't want to share cuz it was like very personal,
people having very personal things with the movie.
I would just say like to that end, the thing that has,
just like broken my heart open the most has been how many
different kinds of people respond to Carol.
That it's like, it's so much more than me and it's so
much more than like what my body holds.
The different like sexual orientations or
ways that you identify with gender or race like it just it goes beyond that.
And that's the thing that's been really exciting for me.
It's just the different interpretations which was like what I went into it for.
I was like, kind of exactly like seeing you wrestle with the star,
was like why I chose to do the movie.
As I was like I wanna work really hard to create a symbol that other people
can take and wear and feel power in, that was it.
It wasn't about, you know me, it's just about her and like that star.
>> Yeah. >> And what that means and so
it's cool to see that actually be that.
>> Yeah.
I mean for me certainly like the power of Captain Marvel certainly helped me come
out to my fans, it's like bisexual.
And it was just, I don't know,
it kind of give me that boost like it's okay to do this, you know.
And so I wanted to thank you for that, like given us, and
other people you know, the power and
the strength to be able to come out as well as like with mental health.
Like I know your such a big advocate for mental health and
you know even coming out with depression and anxiety.
I mean, I'm surprised I'm able to do this right now cuz usually I'd be like crying
or like I'd be in the corner and just not talking to anyone.
So if it wasn't for Captain Marvel I feel like, and
yourself especially like with all the work that you do outside of Captain Marvel.
There was no way would I have the power to come out to people with my sexual
orientation and my mental health.
So thank you so much for being you and Captain Marvel.
>> [LAUGH] Your making me cry.
>> Don't cry, no.
>> Thank you, I really, I really appreciate that a lot.
>> It means a lot to me to me.
So you know like, this is exactly why a way the uniform, like I feel like.
I'm not superhero,
then I can help cuz since I've done that with a power from you and Captain Marvel.
The amount of young people that have come to me and like messaged me on Instagram or
Twitter and it's like, hey, like I wanna do this, I wanna talk to my family or hey,
I suffer with this too.
Like, thank you so much.
I'm like, God, this is incredible and like it just lights off fire where I want to
use my platform now to do what you've done and help other people and fight for
everyone else's rights.
So if it wasn't for you, they wouldn't be able to message me and do all that stuff.
So thank you so much.
>> Thank you,thank you, I really appreciate that.
[LAUGH] So cool.
So glad we're doing this [LAUGH].
>> Yeah, me too.
It means a lot to me that you took time out your day just to work out with me and
talk to me.
This is something I never would have expected to happen.
I'd never thought I'd be able to thank you in person, which is really cool.
You know, I was like, yeah, this is a cool situation for me right now.
And I don't know how to act as such.
>> Me too.
No, you're great.
This is wild for me too.
>> [LAUGH], Okay.
>> Okay coach, what's next?
>> Yeah.
Okay, let's get onto the gun show.
So we're gonna do.
>> Gun show..
>> Luckily this is just like I said, it's condense down here.
Usually we'd have, bicep, triceps, bicep, triceps, just go in and
just do a full set, the four exercises would be one round.
And he'd kill us for a couple of minute.
>> Okay.
>> But this is just 30 bicep curls, straight into 30 tricep kickbacks.
[MUSIC]
>> [SOUND] Infact this is only two of everything instead of
the original four [SOUND] >> Yeah, that is an important thing for
me to remember that you normally do four.
>> Yeah.
>> Well thank you.
I'm so grateful that our paths crossed in this way and
that we're able to do this and let's stay in touch and just thank you.
Thanks for taking the Captain Marvel symbol and
making it beyond what I could have ever imagined.
>> I genuinely cannot thank you enough for everything that you've done for
everyone and especially myself.
Like I would never have the confidence I do now without Captain Marvel and
yourself, like this is so cool.
And yeah, thank you so much for everything you've ever done as yourself,
not just Captain Marvel but as Brie Larson it means a lot to me.
>> Thank you.
I really appreciate it.
Thanks for paying it forward to whatever,
like inspiration you've gotten from me to take that.
Into like, use it for yourself and then also pay it forward and
let's like continue that.
That energy, reverberate it out and just like more, more goodness and
like owning of ourselves and believing in ourselves and
recognizing that we have nothing to prove.
>> Exactly, exactly.
[LAUGH] >> [LAUGH]
