DAREBEE Workout: What it Works
Focus: Fullbody
Type: Strength
Difficulty: level 3 of 5

Brat is a full-body workout that does whatever it wants - lower body first, floor work second, no apologies in between. Power squats, calf raises and reverse lunges handle the standing half, then plank arm raises and shoulder taps drop you to the floor and take away your balance one limb at a time.

The standing block is a complete leg session in miniature. Power squats go deeper than regular squats - all the way down until your hamstrings meet your calves - which recruits the glutes through their fullest range. Calf raises give the big muscles a breather while the lower legs work, and reverse lunges finish the block with each leg loading independently, stepping backward to keep the stress on the front leg's glute rather than the knee. Then the workout flips character entirely: both plank exercises are anti-rotation drills, lifting an arm off the floor and daring your trunk to twist. Legs build the power. The planks build the platform it launches from.

Sink to full depth on power squats with your heels planted - depth is the entire distinction. Step back into the reverse lunges with control and drive up through the front heel. In both plank variations, the goal is a torso that does not tilt or rotate when the hand leaves the floor; slow, deliberate raises beat quick ones every time.

It squats deep, it plays on the floor, it does not clean up afterward. Brat.

Make it Harder: Add a pause at the bottom of every power squat.

Make it Easier: Do the plank work from your knees.

I appreciate the flexibility of levels and types of workouts and the amazing amount of content being offered for free. The amount and variety of content is overwhelming to start but the filters really help narrow everything down. And if I still can't make a decision, the monthly challenges and daily movements are a great start. One of my favorite features is the video exercise library. When I'm not sure how to do a movement or exercise correctly, it's easy to find and watch a quick tutorial. (The dashboard and ability to create sorted bookmarks of favorite workouts are also very helpful)

My family never encouraged me to exercise growing up, so it is outside my comfort zone. Then I joined the Navy and got in great shape. But that was years ago. I have always wanted to find a place… My family never encouraged me to exercise growing up, so it is outside my comfort zone. Then I joined the Navy and got in great shape. But that was years ago. I have always wanted to find a place that would meet me at my level wherever I am, encourage me to stay motivated, fit in my busy schedule, not require a gym membership, offer variety, be fun, help me feel like part of a team without leaving my house, and still be affordable. That has been my dream. So Darebee.com makes my dream a reality. It does all that and more. I would highly, highly recommend this site to absolutely anyone.

Yes, the workouts are awesome and I like them very much. They are easy to understand and don't require much knowledge so you can simply start working out.

BUT what I think is at least as great is the design and functionality of the website. It is just so clean and well organized. I love the filter functions, they work very well and you can find exactly what you need in seconds. Also the bookmark feature is just awesome! The way you can organize the bookmarks, create different collections and sort them so efficiently is very thoughtful and way better than I have seen it on many bigger platforms. I think it is just an example where one can see that the Darebee team not only strives to create the best workouts but for excellence on every level. Tank you! You are doing an awesome job!
