Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles - I'm not sure I can do any of the leg stuff right now. - I just got my ass whooped. - It was exerting my muscles in a way they've never done before. - [Vivian] This was so much harder than any of the workouts I've been doing for the past few weeks. - Put that pizza down, eat a (bleep) salad. (upbeat music) - Hi, my name is Angel, and for the next seven days we're gonna be training like prison inmates. - Hi, my name is Vivian. Since leaving high school I just do random workouts here and there. I don't really have a plan or a routine. I just kind of try to be active and fit. - For me I'm really scared about this because as far as the workout plan that I'm currently on, there is no workout plan, okay. I have not been going to the gym if I'm being completely honest, and I really am looking for something that's gonna get me motivated to go out and do it again. - I wanna to be slim thick, you know? I want to have the long... I want some Michelle Obama arms, some Normani arms, you know. Sometimes there's a little bit of this thing. Megan Thee Stallion has a booty that is just next level and I'm trying to be on her level. I want to look back at it like, hello! (dramatic music) - What's up, everybody? My name is Coss Marte and I'm the CEO of ConBody here. What we do is hire people coming out of the prison system to teach fitness classes, and it's all calisthenics, no equipment, all body weight exercises that I created from my personal experience while I was incarcerated. I served a total of six years in prison And when I went into prison doctors told me cholesterol levels and blood pressure was through the roof, and that I could probably die of a heart attack within five years. So that woke me up to start exercising, moving right in my prison cell, and I managed to lose over 70 pounds in six months. We're doin' ConBody live-stream workouts, and basically you'll get a Zoom link, you'll see everybody on your screen (mumbles) your screen. Try to keep up. I'm gonna be watching you with the video on. So, don't try to cheat. (laughs) - I wouldn't cheat, I wouldn't cheat. I'm really gonna try and go hard for the seven days. - We keep the bar super high and you just try to keep up with us. - I'm super hyped. This might be the biggest physical challenge I've ever had to do. How would you say our different training routines are gonna be, or are we gonna be doing the same stuff? - You're gonna be doin' the same stuff. There's nothing tailored. I don't keep it weak. - Ooh. How long is the whole workout? - You'll do forty minutes of basically working out. Sometimes we'll go a little bit longer. But then we end with a stretch. - Will I come out with a juicy booty? 'Cause that's all I really want out of this. - I wouldn't say in a week, ( Vivian laughs) I'm not gonna be a infomercial and be like, lose forty pounds and get a fat ass in one week, you know what I mean? - Cos, my expectations are high. You know, summer 2020 is here. - So, if you really wanna see results quicker, diet is a huge thing. Put that pizza down, eat a (bleep) salad. You're gonna need a little bit of carbs. Make sure you hydrate a lot, all right? So we're gonna get this thing poppin'. I can't wait to beat y'all (bleep) asses. And if you don't really see that big of a difference in your body within a week, you're gonna see a mental difference. You're gonna get focused, and we're gonna motivate you to take your body to the next level. - Day one, and I am feeling really motivated, but I'm really scared. - This is my fit for day one, because fashion motivates me. (laughs) Bentley, are you ready? (answering as the dog) Yes, Vivian. (energetic music) - Okay, so the workout is still going on. I had to take a stop, just because one, I'm dying, and two, I completely pulled my leg. That (bleep) hurts to move it at all. I'm literally limping right now. I'm gonna hop back in. I'm gonna try and push forward for the rest of it, but I'm not sure I can do any of the leg stuff right now. - See there? That's where I became deceased two minutes ago. This is actually my spirit rising up from the grave to let you all know that I just got my ass whooped. - I got disappointing news. I didn't actually make it through the first workout. I couldn't keep up. I couldn't do, basically anything. Anything on the ground was so strenuous. It was exerting my muscles in a way they've never done before. - I think my fitness goals for this week are changing because stamina is definitely necessary to get through these workouts. Honestly, I thought we would get more breaks in between. I can do all of the moves, but being able to have the endurance to keep going, that's what I need to work on the most. - [Cos] One, two, three, now let's go. Ten. One. Two. - [Vivian] I was so tired. I was so sore. Everything was so sore, that I almost couldn't get through the workout. This was so much harder than any of the workouts I've been doing for the past few weeks, or even months, because I don't normally push myself like this. - We're at the end of day two, and I did it. I actually completed the entire workout. Probably not to the level of everyone else, but I'm feelin' so much better today. I'm not gonna give up. As I said, I'm so much better today than I was yesterday and that's what the mentality I like to keep going. I'm gonna push through it. Five more days. We got this. (energetic music) - We're stretching. I don't even know if I can get through this challenge. I'm so tired. And, I'm sweaty. - Day three, post-workout. I'm trying to keep my spirits up today, but it's been really hard, 'cause I don't know... Just reading all the headlines and stuff like that. Obviously prisoners are not able to leave and this whole COVID-19 thing is happening and it's really disheartening. Especially 'cause most of, (mumbles) say most, but a lot of the people in jail are incarcerated for non-violent crimes, like smoking marijuana and stuff like that. Meanwhile, weed and dispensaries are considered an essential business during this time. That correlation doesn't make sense to me. It just has me very in thought right now. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day and my spirit goes back up. (energetic music) we are mid-workout. He's giving us a teeny tiny little break. And by little break, I mean another thirty seconds (laughs). He's yellin' in that New York accent and honestly, it makes me miss my mom. (laughs) - [Cos] On three, two, one, let's go! - [Angel] He made us do a hundred burpees today. I didn't do a hundred burpees, because I can't keep up with this man, or any of the men who work there, or the women, or anybody. Viv was actually doing the hundred burpees. Shout out to her. It'll be a new day tomorrow. I'm really excited to keep going. We only got three days left. We're beyond the halfway mark. I'm so excited. - Y'all. Your girl is feeling the results of being on day five of this challenge. I woke up like a rocket ship. I just zoomed out of bed this morning, and it's 'cause I had so much energy. (energetic music) I feel good! There's no more lightheadedness. I'm not dizzy. I can get through it. I feel so much stronger. A lot of the movements we did today are movements we've done over the course of the five days. And now I know what I'm doing, and I feel more confident in that. I also feel like my body is more comfortable being pushed that way, which it wasn't the first few days. - It is the end of day five, and I'm so sore right now. My legs and my arms are so beat up from this process. I'm so excited for this to be ending. I want everyone to know I might be in love with Mark. Shout out to him for being beautiful. I don't know what it is about Mark, but every time he's there, it's just so much easier (laughs) to work out. (energetic music) - [Vivian] I feel so much more energetic. I'm more motivated. I feel really positive. Even though it's really painful, the workouts have been a big stress-reliever for me. I feel like I've been able to work out some of my frustrations with life right now in the workouts, which is awesome. I've never done so many burpees in my freaking life. Who knew that something so simple as laying out and then popping back up could really make you contemplate your whole life. I hate burpees. (claps) - Hey, everyone. It's after the workout. Exercise, each time we do it, becomes so much less dreadful than the last time. I think it's just 'cause our bodies are getting used to it. I'm feeling good about it. I'm feeling really motivated to finish this last day. I'm honestly excited about it. - This is it, this is the last day of the challenge. - I am feeling amazing this morning. I got up real early for this. (energetic music) - [Vivian] I've never consistently worked out at this high intensity, seven days in a row. - We're in the middle of the workout, and it is okay. I'm dying. This one's harder than every other one but I'm gonna keep doin' it. (energetic music) - We did it! We did it, we did it, we did it! I'm just really happy that we got to do this. This was so much fun. I feel very motivated. Maybe I didn't lose thirty pounds or something like that, in a week, but I feel like my mindset is completely different right now. - I also feel like I can do anything, because the way I pushed myself over these seven days, I've never pushed myself like that, in my entire life. (energetic music) - [Cos] Yo, what's up? We just did a whole week of workin' out. How are y'all feelin'? I appreciate y'all joinin'. I know y'all feelin' (bleep) right now, but let me know what's up. - I feel stronger, I feel healthier. I feel more motivated to get through this quarantine like a champ. I feel like I could take down any linebacker that is out here in this field. - You got a ConBody now, yo. - Yo. - Don't get an assault charge. I know Angel that first day, he was runnin' away from me. (bleep) - Y'all got me all kinds of messed up today. I wasn't really running away. I was more, limping away. You really damaged me in a way that no man has ever done that, like emotionally. (laughs) - (mumbles) you came out with a six-pack, you know? - The thing for me, is this wasn't a physical challenge. It was a mental challenge the entire way through, because after a while I realized I know all of these movements, I can do them, but to have no breaks, Cos, no breaks in between. My mind just had to really sit and think, can we do this? Are we gonna get through this? - It does feel like a sense of freedom, just like losing your mind and losing control of everything, and you're just having somebody tell you what to do, and you just keep going. And you don't even think, and you just do, and then you have a whole hour go by. And you're like, wow, I feel great that I did something, that I accomplished something but I also got my mind out of all the chaos that was goin' around us, that's still goin' around us. - [Angel] Well, thank you so much. - Thank you so much, Cos. - [Cos] Thank you, thank you.
