- I'm wondering what TARGET audience you made this for. This looks like it was made for someone who works out regularly. Keep in mind that you are talking to an audience who is sedentary 90% of the time. I showed this to my guild and they stopped the video at burpees let alone hand stand pushups. I think I did 4 burpees before I gave out myself and i've been on a caloric deficit since last June. If you're gonna make health videos for gamers, start from scratch IE: Walking, jumping jacks, situps(without the epic flying mount ball).
A person who hasn't done ANYTHING in a long time to better themselves is gonna do 2 or 3 of these workouts then quit. Not because they dont WANT to, but because they cannot physically do these like flip themselves into handstand position and even hold it there. So keep that in mind for the next video. Not everyone is at THAT level of physical fitness and if this video isn't aimed for a general audience but a more HEALTHY audience then disregard what I said and keep making them this way. Something you can do is "Hey guys do 40 pushups OR if you cannot do pushups do THIS instead to replace those 40 pushups you cant do" like an alternative.
-Switch between Alliance and Horde cut scenes for your videos. All I see is Alliance scum, why the hell would I want to follow THAT (said hardcore Horde followers) dont cut your audience in half by showing Alliance favoritism.
-In my time of losing weight, my workout played a small role in getting healthier. My diet is where I screwed up over and over again. So maybe if you're gonna aim at making these for gamers, include some diet tips. What can US gamers substitute soda with? Why SHOULDN'T i eat that 9th slice of Pizza? etc etc. Possibly even do a flow chart of what to eat and drink.
-I believe you should include Free Weights and cardio in these videos. When I picked up those barbells and dumbells I started to physically see the change. But this is just a suggesstion because a lot of people get turned off by having to go out and BUY something extra for something that CAN possibly done for free. IDK. I made that investment others might too.
Overall your video was pretty decent. I wasn't able to do all those pushups at all, too many things to collect in my level 3 mine. But I see what you're trying to do and I respect it. In making videos or trying to stream, you're ALWAYS gonna come across people telling you that you SUCK and you should KILL YOURSELF etc etc. This is true for ANYTHING that you're trying to throw out there so pay no attention to that, keep doing what you do and focus on what the people want. Remember when you first made this video you were probably sitting there thinking this shit up and you felt inspired enough to grab a pen and make a workout, well keep that inspiration that hit you in your mind anytime you feel like quitting. DO NOT QUIT and you will make it.
