Rave Pahla Bowers on YouTube

cherimac · 07-14-15, 10:43 AM

Has anyone else heard of her? I will provide a link to check her out. She has tons of HIIT workouts, many that are low impact. That's what I tend to use her channel for most. I know she has some Metabolic Conditioning, kettlebells, sculpting, core, tabata, etc. She is a certified personal trainer and all her workouts are free on YT. Lots of different lengths.

One thing that people will either love or hate: no music. I don't mind it as I do barre3 and can barely hear the music anyway. Others will like it as they want to play their own music. Some will not like that at all.

Anyway, just wanted to share.

I watched her preview and had to laugh when she was joking about having pools of sweat in her glasses.

Thanks for the link, Cheri. I'll definitely check out some her low-impact HIIT.

I stumbled into her workouts a while ago and they looked good, but I don't think I ever did any. Thanks for the reminder. I definitely prefer low impact workouts.

Thanks Cheri, I have put a few on my youtube playlists to try!

Hope you guys like them. I like her personality and that's she's near my age.

I love her low impact HIIT and Tabata~not easy by any means.

She does seem very likable and low-key! I'd be interested in hearing which are people's favorites.

I've done several of her workouts. Like with a lot of youtube workouts, figuring out a workout that will fit that day can be too hard with available descriptions. I also like that most of her workouts can be done with her muted.

(however, off the top of my head, I can't think of a single fitness instructor I want to listen to.) It's me not her.

But I've done probably a dozen of her workouts, but unfortunately couldn't tell them apart by description.

Looks like she has diversified a bit lately, but most of her stuff is hiit/tabata style and actually isn't necessarily interchangeable. The naming is part of the curse of trying to reel in plays and subscriptions.

Thanks Cheri! I don't mind that there isn't any music. I just now previewed her 10 minute Core workout and I like it. I'll have to explore more of her workouts. Thanks again!

I love her introduction video. She had an older one which had her sons in it, or a least I'm guessing they were her sons. I thought that one was pretty funny.

I love Pahla!

As someone who is carrying a large amount of excess weight, I find her workouts to have ease and simplicity. I feel comfortable doing her workouts not just because of the moves, but her energy is, for lack of better words, soft and gentle. She's like the anti-Jillian Michaels.
