Not my favorite, just seemed to take FOREVER 🤷🏼‍♀️ I definitely got a workout, just felt hard today. Could just be from lack of sleep or it being that time of the month 🤪

After laying dead for a few minutes, I can now write that this was a fiery workout! Very difficult on the wrists though. Or at least that’s my weak point.

Always a great reminder to work on my wrists. 😅

Week 5, Day 1 - Upper Body

Warm up: Before you begin, I recommend completing the Home Upper Body Dynamic Warm Up, found in the “Warm Ups” section in the app.

You’ll notice that this workout is very similar to the one you did on this day a few weeks ago, but with an added circuit. This is intentional, to give you an opportunity to track your progress & push your limits further! Try your best to increase your intensity this time around.

Work hard, be nice, & get after it! 💪

💛 Claire

This was not a day one beginner workout. Love the challenge but had to modify a lot. Wrists more than anything were not strong enough for this one.

April

As a day one class this was pretty tough!
