Boy, that last superset was way harder than it looked! I felt uncoordinated, but by the third set was making progress in my form.

Crawling backwards is impossible 😅 what a great workout though. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Enji

Another great exercise. Incline push ups was very difficult. Now ok.

Rosa

Those bear crawls challenged my coordination much more than I expected! Definitely an exercise that gets everything, including your concentration, involved. Loved this workout!

W2/D1 Cardio

Small/huge victory for me today on split squats. I’m not attempting the Bulgarian split squats yet. I did regular ones with no weights and I was actually able to get me knee to the ground on each side. When I started this program, I was a distance away from that. Next week I’ll add weights. Whoopi!

Leveling up doing 20 minutes of cardio a day notice a big change in sweatiness and improved endurance.

W2/D3 Cardio

Great workout, love the superset, the overhead press and the reverse flies combo!

I love this set of exercises. Probably because I never felt like I had enough upper body strength, but I can tell I’m slowly getting stronger, and feel more “shape” to my arms.

I love Day 6, feeling my arms so strong! Core is getting there but those incline reverse crunches are still way too tough on my lower back. Fighting to get there! 💪🏼💪🏼

W2/D6 Cardio

The combo was challenging but doeable! Loved this workout!

Good workout as always, but dang it had to skip or modify a few things due to left quad which was hurting a bit.  Onward we go!

Long live this app!! So loving it! Week 2 down, looking forward to Week 3 💪🏼💪🏼❤️❤️

B3W3 focus = form + progressive overload + range of motion! 💪💗

W3/D1 Cardio

One day I hope to love quad day.  These are a killer.

I'm not going to lie, those step UPS with 20 lb weights got really hard and I was tempted to skip out on the last rep but I dropped down the weights to 10's and finished it strong!

The best workout overall of anything I’ve ever done in my 60 years. I absolutely LOVE working out to Carolyn’s exercises, (I do the home version-it’s fantastic!) and the Ap keeps track and keeps me on progress!
