Tried this with the clench handles + resistance bands - amazing! Can you show us a workout using the clench handles sometime?

Amber Klaus

Good! Challenged myself by doubling reps to 20. Did it!

Ada Bower

Using 2 kg weight, I noticed that my core is engaged, but my shoulders come up!
I am enjoying the way the workout is put together, it’s easy to add another set and still concentrate on my mind muscle connection.

Tina

Killed it! Thanks Coach for showing me how to engage my core with each move. HR up, hacking my happy hormones. Yay me!!!

Rebecca

This one was hard-but that is ok I forgot how much I like that muscle fatigue feeling

Erica

Excellent!! My arms feel like rubber and it is amazing!

Holly R Haney

Another great set! Just challenging enough to keep me motivated, without scaring me off.

Idara (Dee) Bryant

Loved this workout. Really feel how strong I am getting & noticing me engaging my core

Kara

I love the workouts!  Modified but by adding a little more weight, I can make them more challenging- and that is AWESOME!!

Thank you for making movement simple for me! Simple to find “weights” (26oz water bottles today), simple to do at home. But still challenging at the same time as I am beginning the workout portion of my journey!

Week 2/Day 8

Good warm up for all those tight muscles and lots of options to make cardio work for you! Also just a housekeeping thing.. the text shown at the end of the video doesn't fit in the screen

Jessica

w1/d5 Cardio

Really engaging the core makes a difference in these exercises.  I am thinking you should put the video on how to engage the core at the beginning.

Anna

w1/d4 Full Body

I really felt the connection today.  I enjoyed going at my own pace and really concentrating on tightening my abs and buttocks.  I actually am surprised by how I can feel these workouts vs other ones that I have been doing.  Maybe it is because I am able to concentrate and go at my pace vs trying to keep up with the class.

Love the flexibility that I am starting to feel

w2/d9 Lower Body

I dont think you need another 'how to engage your core' in week 2. Maybe replace with another core exercise?

These are good, but a few more exercises on this would be nice.

w2/d10 Core

Good workout.  Minor note- the leg lifts only have 1 set to mark off instead of 2 like the rest

Loving these workouts! Making me feel strong & bringing up a great sweat!

w2/d11 Full Body

Cardio 20 minutes 1 minute high intensity followed by 1 minute low intensity for 10 minutes total then 5 minute warm up and 5 minute cool down

Vickie

Enjoying Cardio is a new love for me! Happy to find time to dance & considering it a workout

I was motivated to try some new cardio moves!
