As a day one class this was pretty tough!

Krista

A little too hard for me tbh. Just on this one. I’m trying to MOD and still do them but feeling a lil discouraged

Makinzey

Rachel

Norma

You are amazing , it was hard to complete without resting during the sets , i have never had this much pushups before , looking for more to achieve the best body shape i can achieve

Yazan

So, so bad. My Arms Arena burning, they are wobbling anf shivering

Sandra

Sarah

Stephanie Fuller

So hard!  But I was looking for upper body (at home) today. And this was it 🔥 Thanks!

Renee

This workout absolutely killed my arms. However, the movements were harder to do with my furniture, so it made the movements more difficult to do. This workout was also harder on my wrists.

Abby

Really hard for me, I really struggled on the last one. Had to have my husband hold my hips up so I wouldn’t fall because my left side/arm couldn’t hold me up

Amber Hooker

Upper body is so shaky!!! 👍👊💪😏

Lindsay

My arms are on fire! Great body weight workout!

Jenna

Whitney

lianne

Homebody workout at a crappy hotel fitness room 😫

Nikki

Still getting the feel for the structure of the app but this was a good one. I thought it would be easy but far from it!

Robert

Marina

Ik was hard for me. The last rep I couldn’t do. My arms were full. Bit it feld god

Brenda

Matt

Sore from this weeks workouts!! So switching it up and doing a body weight workout!! Just what I needed 🔥

Erin Scott

Bridget

Whew!!!!! Did this one since it's snowing outside!

Nicole

So challenging! This was my first upper body workout from Claire, definitely did not disappoint 😳💪🏼

Yasmine

Day 1 back in action. 
I am working to fall back in love with the gym and working out. 
Starting again is the hardest part, but your positivity and amazing attitude helps beyond what I can put into words. 

Thanks, Claire!

Kristina

Tammy

Paui Coco

Kate

Very hard on the wrists/shoulders, modifications for joint issues would be nice.

Meg Blackman

Maybe some coaching points on the form? My daughter using the app, she would benefit from a few verbal cues.

Eric

Ricardo Neyra

Wow! I am so out of shape! Its good to be back ❤️ this was harder then ever for me, but I did it! Yey

Carmel

I have bad carpel tunnel in my wrists and had to modify almost all these exercises. Might be nice to switch things up a bit or offer mods.

Britt

Brittany

It's more challenging than I am ready for. I had to modify some.

Ariel

My push ups are weak. Great exercise. I love your routines and your energy. Very motivating.

Michelle

Leigh-Ann

My shoulders are going to feel this one! Thank you for keeping me on track, even without access to a gym right now 💛

Haven’t worked out in years, this kicked my butt. Currently having to take a break from running due to some feet problems so I’m channeling that towards strength training.

Samantha

It was great! Thank you!!! Cheers from Italy :)

Damián

Belinda

Lucy

Great workout! But I wish the alternative workouts were written in the app as well.

Karen

That was crazy... I couldn't even do everything

Angie

Great workout! My only complaint is that it’s very wrist heavy and for someone with naturally weak wrists it was hard for me to complete 🫠 but that’s always a problem for me and home workouts. 🖤🖤
