Combined with travel exercises today 😁👍💪

Doris

Great workout!  I can feel myself getting stronger 🙏🏼

Karen

That was a sweaty one! Those side planks are deceptively hard! I do better with my arm fully extended.

Jamie

Awesome.  My home gym is set up.  The last motivational you made was key to continue if for life. What habits go out the door when life gets busy?  Why?  Fix that.

Tara Lucas

I can't believe I did those side planks, all three, 60 Seconds each set each side. What an amazing strength workout!

Did this two days ago amd was too tired to do the core.  Love being told what to do though!

Extremely tired today, barely able to finish all sets. Maybe because I shifted my training time to the afternoon as opposed to the morning 🤷🏻‍♀️
