hey everyone it's morgan yates and i am so excited for today's video if you haven't seen it already
make sure you queue up my last video which was my fall capsule wardrobe showing you guys
my favorite outfits this fall so you can tell by the title and as i've mentioned over on my vlog
channel a little bit i've actually been working with a personal trainer for the last 60 days i'm
just so excited for this video because if you had any kind of summer like i did then it was probably
just like filled with a lot of fun for me like a lot of travel and during the summer months i feel
like i really fell out of my workout routine i would say it was like the least active few months
of like my past three years really ever since i like originally got more into like health and
fitness i was just having such a discouraged hard time getting back into working out that i thought
it was the perfect time to try something like this and to have that accountability and this has
actually been a video idea that i've been wanting to do for on probably going on two years now and
every time i've like looked into the personal trainers in the la market like on the low end the
lowest i've heard was like 125 for an hour-long session going up to like 160 if i were to do a
personal training session through my boxing gym on up to like i have a friend who actually does
private training but i'm pretty sure she charges 250 per session and like anywhere in that scale
i just could never justify like paying that much for one workout i just could never do it so i've
been sitting on this video idea for ages and ages but then i found out about the copilot app who is
sponsoring today's video if you're not familiar with co-pilot they they're a personal training app
and it's not just like some bot or some like pre-programmed workout that everyone is getting
the same one up but you're paired with a real life certified trainer you talk to every day and who's
focused on understanding and helping you reach your fitness goals and they're creating workouts
that are built specifically for you so it's a one-on-one coaching experience with a real person
at a much more affordable price tag and for like your monthly fee you get unlimited personalized
workouts like nutrition advice constant contact with your trainer to keep you on track and one
of the best parts of doing this all through copilot is the flexibility of being able to do
your workout that your trainer made for you at any time through the day so that it works with
your schedule so when you join through the app that's available on ios you start out by answering
a bunch of questions just about yourself like your fitness level your goals everything like that and
it will pair you with the trainer that's best fit for you so my trainer's name is olivia she is the
best i feel like going into any kind of experience like this if you're not like a super in shape
person or like you're not a fitness professional i know it can be intimidating to go into like a
group fitness class much less like any kind of one-on-one experience with someone who is like
fit for a living and so i was a little bit intimidated but ever since our very first
kickoff call which you have with your trainer before they start programming your workouts
she's just so friendly and not intimidating at all made me feel really comfortable and at ease and
we just talked through basically more of like my goals what kind of workouts i like what equipment
i have at home so that she could build the workouts around that she asked how often i wanted
to work out i said three days a week so we decided that a monday wednesday friday's schedule would be
good and i just explained to her kind of what i've already said about falling off the fitness train
over the summer and told her that my goals were wanting to build back my strength and endurance
and like get that muscle back just generally tone up and hopefully lose a few pounds of that like
summer fun weight and it was just as easy as that that night she created my workout so that i could
get started the very next day and then right there in the app each week i would see like my
week of workouts you go preview those you'll see a ton more about that throughout this video but
yeah you just do the workout straight through your phone i recommend wearing your watch papyla
also uses smartwatch motion technology so they can actually keep an eye on your form which i didn't
know was possible so throughout the workouts if you were going through the reps too fast
which sometimes i was like it will tell you in the moment or if like during your glute bridges
you need to lift it higher at the top it will tell you that it was constantly telling me that
i feel like and all this info on your pacing and form it goes straight to your trainer so
they can see how you're doing throughout your reps it's really like having them there in person with
you i feel like really separates this experience from like just doing a workout through a screen
thanks to the watch tracking it's really like your trainer is right there with you being able to like
identify mistakes you're making and like see your form and everything like that as they
would in person so i absolutely love this 60 day challenge i am so excited to share this with you
guys if you enjoy it and you're interested in checking out copilot on your own i'm gonna have
my link below where not only will you get a 14 day free trial but you'll also be able to get co-pilot
for over 20 off forever so that'll be 99 a month instead of 129 a month when you compare that and
like the experience you're getting one-on-one with the trainer to the cost of like an actual
personal training session i feel like this is such a good deal for me and like the group
fitness classes i go to like the cost per month is cheaper than the cost of three boxing classes
i think it's such a worthwhile investment to have that accountability i think copilot is just such a
great resource for starting to make lasting health and fitness changes so let's just hop right in
and i hope you guys enjoy taking a look back at my last 60 days with a personal trainer
it is day one i'm super excited i am at the new house it's a busy stream for me because
i am packing up my last place to move over to this place i had to stop by so i thought this would be
probably the best location to do today's workout since i have
all this space here and at my other place i have like zero floor space from all the boxes so
i'm excited um also i'm kind of glad this is starting right now as well even though
life seems a little chaotic because otherwise i probably wouldn't even be going and working out
because i do have so much going on so it's just really nice after talking to my trainer olivia
yesterday she went ahead and imported my workouts for today i don't even have to think about
like coming up with a workout which is nice you just set up the phone to like watch the
workout it goes through the moves tells you what's coming up next you have a timer keeps up with like
your calories and everything demonstrates before i'm gonna get started super excited
just finished my third round of the five moves got really hard that last time and now i have an ab
first workout done at the end it like asked me to rate the workout like what changes i wanted
to make how the app was working etc oh it now says how many calories i burned and then you
scroll down here it shows through the workout and my day one observations they were a little
discouraging i mean i knew like i had lost so much muscle like i hadn't been working
out for a few months and so of course like i'm not going to jump back to the place i was before but
it didn't feel good to feel how difficult like these moves are so i could tell how
much strength i had lost however i really did like the workout i thought it was fun and
under normal circumstances if i were just trying to motivate myself to do a workout at home
especially going back into working out if i were like feeling that difficulty and like discouraged
feeling of being a little bit out of shape or a lot i probably would have had a really low effort
workout and just quit when i started feeling discouraged it was great right off the bat on day
one having that accountability of knowing olivia was watching knowing that was vital to having me
actually push through that workout so to get an idea of a sample workout on copilot every workout
you start with stretching so they're normally anywhere from three to five minutes of stretching
at the beginning on this day we had 30 seconds of cat cow 30 seconds of extended dog stretch
30 seconds of lat stretch on each side 30 seconds of spiderman stretch on each side
30 second hip flexor stretch on each side and then a 30 second figure four stretch on each side then
we moved on in to a push set 12 reps with 12 pounds of dumbbell front rack split squats do
that on one side and then repeat on the other side and then eight reps with 12 pound dumbbells of a
curl to press 12 kneeling push-ups and then 20 reps per side of mountain climbers just to get
that heart rate up you do all that three times through and then you move on to your pull set
and for that there were 10 reps with 12 pounds of single leg dumbbell romanian deadlifts then
10 reps with 12 pounds of dumbbell archer rose which side note if you ever don't know how to do
a move it demos it for you as you're going through the workout live or if you're like previewing it
you can just click on the move and it will show you next was one minute of glute march and then
10 reps per side of skater jumps so i do the pull set three times and then jump into a core
burnout which was ten reps with five pounds in each hand of these dumbbell lying alternated
arm leg extensions i would feel these so much at the end of a workout and then 10 reps of
push-up position toe touches which are just like another good ab move i wouldn't normally do so
just to give you a little bit of an idea of what a workout was like but hopping back into our week
for today's workout i'm in the new house but basically i have another
full body workout basically i have five rounds for each round we add
on another move so like the first round just starting out with one move that's the workout
guys holy cow this one is killing me
this is like how you get feedback
it has my stats here's our fourth workout today it is week two today it is repeating
the leg day workout from last week i already know what to expect we're gonna
hop right into that my legs are gonna hurt i already know it from experience
workout complete that definitely was not my best workout
modified a little bit of um what i was supposed to do today is my fifth co-pilot workout it's
my last one of like the first two weeks and i think after this week we switch up the workouts
so i'm repeating a workout i did last week one of the full body workouts so i'm gonna get to it
posted that workout it's like the latter one that builds on one movie tround i'm dead
today like right now it's like seven o'clock i've had a busy day this is one of those days
i'll definitely not be getting a workout in if you weren't for knowing that olivia would be seeing
that i didn't do it so here we are so already at the beginning of week three i was feeling
the benefits of having that accountability of knowing someone was going to know if i worked out
or not in only a couple weeks i was feeling a lot stronger i was definitely still lacking in that
like motivation and endurance motivating myself to actually get to the workout was still hard to do
i wasn't really seeing any physical results at this point but what i was enjoying was
that the workouts were switching up every two weeks and like the difficulty was adding on so
not only could i feel my like strength progress but also like having the workout switch up in
format just kept things interesting all workouts with stretches lasted me probably anywhere from
30 to 45 minutes it is wednesday september 22nd and here in a few minutes i'm about to hop on a
call with olivia just doing a little check-in on the app you can schedule at any time if you
want to have like a call if you have questions or just like whatever i'm guessing this will be like
good feedback for her as she like programs my workouts for the next two weeks yeah i'm gonna
hop on this call i am feeling a lot stronger like just in the two weeks of doing these
workouts i can tell actually like a pretty substantial difference in like my strength
some observations from the first like little segment here of like doing training
i can tell my core's got a lot stronger as well as my legs i feel like even in the
full body workouts i feel like there have been a lot of leg moves starting out like
the first couple workouts i did like i could barely do lunges like my leg strength just
felt so gone and now i feel like in those two areas especially i just feel a lot stronger
it's a new week it's actually wednesday this week we have kicked off new workouts i love
the one i did on monday i'm so excited to do that again next monday today it's like day
like day is definitely the day i look forward to the least but we're gonna get started
taking a couple like who knows if these will be progress shots because uh somehow despite
working out more and eating healthier and drinking less past few weeks i feel like i've
gained weight so that's fascinating here's where we're at here's what it is you know
another feature that's really cool in the app is the progress page so you can log
your weight day today you can like specifically track measurements you can also add progress
photos which i feel like can be so helpful because day to day you don't really see changes in your
body at this point i was a month in and i wasn't really feeling like much progress had been made
also just like i mean throughout this whole video and like to the present day i don't know what's
been going on this is not the point of this video i've just been having some like bloating issues or
like digestion issues and i'm trying to like get on top of foods that i'm apparently intolerant
to that i feel like has always been an issue for me but has like become so present like constantly
present over the past like two three months that further complicated me like feeling like i was
making any progress because i just couldn't really tell like beneath the bloating you know i'd have
to like wait till i got a really unbloated day to like see my progress which was always like
such a good feeling when one of those days would come and i could feel like okay like
just because i can't see my results on like most days like on those infrequent days i could like
see what a difference all of my work that i've been putting in was making that's just something
to keep in mind as we watch like a lot of times you're not going to see a difference because i'm
so bloated on to another co-pilot workout this week i have also started mixing back
in um some like workouts on tuesday thursday so yesterday i went to a boxing class that you
guys know i love before adding all this back in i talked to olivia and she's a certified trainer
had a lot of information to give me about like the key things for like muscle recovery
basically she said is like enough protein enough water and sleep um and so we're testing out like
me adding in boxing classes back on tuesday and thursday and just seeing how i feel and
she said if like i find myself not having enough energy or like whatever then we can
start to talk about like nutritional changes and things like that to help offset that yeah i'm
excited i feel good getting back on this like five day week grind it's friday right now for
today's workout it is my last new workout of the week that i've not tried it's a total body day
around make six i was literally getting so desperate for results
i didn't even record the workouts at all i just have these progress photos
welcome to i think we're in week six i didn't really record the last week um or maybe the
last two weeks i don't know i've just gotten very in the zone with doing these workouts i feel like
i'm just moving and grooming it feels so good to be back in like a consistent
workout routine that doesn't feel like a giant chore and i'm glad that like i
slowly built that up we have for today our stretches as always
we have like a push set and a pole set and then it ends with this like core burnout
we're in 242 calories today i feel like that's more than usual it's a new week
we're nearing the end of my like co-pilot 60 days another like little body check-in
i don't really know what happened from week eight to week nine but on this day i feel like
it's probably noticeable i felt so much leaner it was an unbloated day i finally felt this just like
since or this feeling of encouragement and like reward like i could see
all of the results coming in ignore the deodorant marks on my sports bra at the beginning of the
60 days even on like an unbloated day i had like such little core strength like there were no abs
showing through even if i was flexing i was just so happy that like literally at the end
of the 60 days i could finally see some results coming through i'm gonna put some
before and after clips on screen let me know if you can tell a difference um just in terms
of how i feel again everything just feels so much stronger like i feel like i maybe had
some mild booty gains i feel like my core got so much stronger my legs got so much stronger
just everything feels tighter in a way that it like wasn't literally just knocked on my bicep
so i don't know how much translated on camera but let me know if you could see results and
that concludes my 60 day challenge with copilot again i will have it linked below if you guys
would like to join a huge thank you to olivia for just making this so fun over the past 60
days co-pilot has truly helped me i feel like get back on top of my like fitness journey and i
know that i'm going to be continuing to use this app as well thank you guys so much for watching
let me know if you like this video that is it and i'll see all of you guys in my next video
