Weeks 2&4 Full Body HIIT

W4/D3 Core & Full Body HIIT

Awesome!! I still can’t get over how I’ve found a workout program based in gymnastics!!! I’ve always  taken my gymnastics conditioning from when I was younger into my own workouts but they got so old!  This is so refreshing!

First workout done! Killer! Can't wait for more!

Moira

Karli

W1/D1 Core & Upper Body

So hard but so worth it! I learned so many lessons of perseverance mentally that i so needed to learn and will take with me when i feel like i want to give up!

I need to heel my knee heart on the lunges

W1/D2 Core & Lower Body

Tough to push through the full 40s with the timer stopping half way everytime and needing to restart it.

Melise

It was the best work out ever!!😅😅😀

This one was quite difficult :/ 160 push-ups are a lot in one HIIT session for those who aren’t advanced. I think maybe in a 28 day challenge the first week should have 20 push-ups each round instead of 40.

Samantha

W1/D3 Core & Full Body HIIT

I couldn’t figure out how to do the straddle hold

Brenda

Linda

W2/D1 Core & Upper Body

My legs are still sore from the last lower body workout! It feels good though. It’s nice to be back on a regular conditioning routine. 😅

Julia

Hard but so proud of myself for doing the full thing! I’m competing in a meet next week and doing this workout gave me the confidence to know I can push through all four events!

Holy Hanna that was hard! Haha! But so proud of myself for doing it all! On to week 4!

Love the banded bicycles!  Also love how I can set the timers for both workout and rest in real time. Helps for setup purposes. Thank you!
