Cami

So exciting to see improvement!  Before I could only do boat pose for 45 secs, not even get my knees up to hold.  This time I did all the warmup plus help hanging tuck for 39 secs 🤩.  Plank went from 1:30 to 2:01 and I only did 21 sit-ups, but in the beginning I did 20 and thought I was going to die.  This time I just ran out of time but have still done more.  Love seeing my body and mindset change!

Michelle Jacobson

Finally caught up, and happy to report that I improved in everything but my sit ups, which remained the same as first round,but I take that as a win too. Very happy with my results in strength gained. My core feels much stronger and I've been seeing results too! This is my second core challenge, and I've found such an inner peace gained from dedicating time to my health. I got a little behind in this challenge,  but stuck it through,  and finished before the deadline, which I'm very proud of. This is the longest amount of time that I've dedicated to a program, and it's easy for me to get back into the swing of things, even if I take extra time off for recovery or other things that come up in life. I'm so happy that you are keeping these workouts up longer, so that I can get through another round before your next core challenge. It's been so much fun to do these workouts. I love how strong I feel surviving some of these hard hiit workouts that you provide. I also love how you provide modifications.  Thank you for providing such amazing content! I also loved how you had habit stacking every week. It really helped me finally be mindful about water, stretching, steps, and protein most. I'm still working on Journaling, no phone before bed (I listen to audiobooks to fall asleep). I can't wait to see what your next challenge holds. I'm also very excited for your handstand program coming too! Always best wishes, and thank you again Claire!

It’s Re-Test Day! 💪

I can’t believe we are already on our FINAL week of my Core Challenge!! As promised on day 1, we have some fitness tests to retake! Since we had the last 2 days off from core work, you should feel recovered & ready to get after todays workout!

In case you forgot (I mean it was 5 whole weeks ago!) you have 3 core tests that are really going to challenge your strength & stamina. The reason I tested you at the beginning & now the end of this challenge is so that you see & FEEL how you have (hopefully) progressed over the course of this challenge. 

I asked you to write your Day 1 test scores down, so if you still have those, go take a look at them now! Keep those numbers in your head during each test today & try your absolute best to knock your old scores out of the water! I believe in you and I can’t wait to hear how you improve! PLEASE leave a comment after you swipe to complete the workout & let me know if you beat your previous scores & how this one felt this time around! 🙏😊

WARM UP: Before you begin the first exercise, do 20 lying leg raises + 20 hanging knee raises to warm up your core, hip flexors & grip.

GOOD LUCK!!

💛Claire

MODIFICATION - Hanging knee raise hold OR boat pose hold if you don’t have a pull up bar 

When finished, write down your time. Rest 5 minutes or until completely recovered before beginning your max Plank hold.

Hanging L-sit hold

When finished, write down your time. Rest 5 minutes or until completely recovered before moving on to your final fit test.

Plank

MODIFICATION - crunches

Set a timer for 60 seconds and do as many reps as possible until time is up. When finished, write down the amount of reps you complete.

I still struggle with this but I'm definitely MUCH better than before! Slowly but surely getting to the 20g per snack and meal

Great information!! Protein goals = total game changer!

Cherie

Loved it! I struggle most with what key nutritional concepts I should keep in mind. So, this was a simple yet huge tip that I hope to start practicing

Arsha

W3/D7 Rest Day

I’m notorious for getting back from a run or workout and then hopping straight in the shower with no stretching 😬😬 this is a good reminder to stretch!!

For stretching, I focus on contracting the opposing muscle I am trying to stretch.  Really helps the tight muscle to relax.
