This is my workout video

First off, you need to slow down when working out. You're just going to ruin your arms and shoulders if you keep up that pace. Your first workout where you're punching is ok, but do it with a lower weight and work on your form. The second work out where you're doing some sort of windmill with a dumbbell should be avoided unless you want to pay for a new rotator cuff lol

About the Video

The Music - I wanted to close the video or mute my audio because it's super repetitive and annoyingly loud. The music should be in the background, it shouldn't be something that I'm focused on and I can't even see it. Think of something slower and more melodic so people are put at ease when trying to learn something from your video.
The Workouts - You didn't explain anything, you just did a set and carried on. Good work out tutorials will go in depth as to why someone should be doing a workout. Take the person step by step and say what you're doing and why. If you can't explain why you're doing it, then don't show it to your viewers.
The Atmosphere - It looks like you're in a bedroom or maybe a basement. If you want people to take your video more serious, try doing this at a gym if you have access to one. Another thing I've seen workout videos do is go to a location, like a forest or a river, and use that as the background. People love the outdoors and they will carry your tutorials inside when they do decide to workout lol.
Your Cameraman - It looked like you had someone holding the camera, I say this because it was shaking. Invest in a small tripod for your phone or camera and let that be your cameraman. Having a video that shakes is going to seem like a lower quality video regardless of what the pixels are at.
Yourself - People sweat when they workout, but a lot of people are grossed out by sweat. When you make your video, I would do the workouts at different times and then splice them together for one final cut. This way you won't be sweaty in the video and you can get more women to watch.
The Title - Your video says "Viral" in the title and that just shows me you're trying too hard. People will see the word "Viral" and just click away because they will see you trying to make the video viral and not focusing no what they're there for, the workout tutorial.
Slow and Steady - This is for 2 things. The first is your workout, which I touched on earlier. Go slower and you'll see more benefits of your workout. The second is that you can't rush perfection. Take your time when making a video and make sure everything is just right so you don't have to do many takes

Those are just a few things I noticed and if you knock out those edits you'll likely have an awesome video on your hands
