LOVEDDDDD todays challenge exercises!! This is the most planks I’ve done since I broke my arm back in 2020 (in an arm wrestling tournament) I have to admit since the break I’ve been scared on planks, especially side planks, but I am giving this challenge my all and I DID THEM!!!

Nicole Lynn

I’m all wiped out. Aha so punny 🤣🤣🤦‍♂️

Zach

David

My abs are on 🔥!! I definitely felt like quitting sometimes but kept pushing and I'm so glad!!!! 💪☀️💛

Planks again! 😅 only making me stronger though! 😊💪 Awesome sweat even with the modifications!

Jess

It’s was killer! Felt great! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be looking for my arms for the next hour or so, they fell off.

Reya

10/10 would not recommend doing this after a heavy deadlift!! ….or after Covid lol 😂

Jackson Knott

Awesome second day! That work out kick my a$$

Jordan

I was already a bit sore from yesterday, I can only imagine how tomorrow is going to feel! 🥵🔥

Ahhh day 2 of the Apex Abs Challenge is here! Hope your first day was amazing and you might just be a littttle sore today 👀 

Today's workout is 1 circuit and 1 superset. No equipment needed!

For the first circuit, you'll complete one exercise, rest for 60 seconds, then move onto the next until you've gone all the way through. Then you'll repeat everything for a total of four times. 

After that circuit is done, you'll turn up the heat a little bit and move onto the superset! A superset is when you do each exercise back to back without resting. Once you've completed the exercises, you can rest for 60 seconds before completing the rest of the rounds.

Make sure you're switching sides for the elbow side planks! 

Remember, these exercises are meant to be added onto your current training! I always recommend to add them to the end of your workout, so your body is already warmed up and ready to go! 💪

Keep crushing it Vibe Tribe and don't forget to smile! 🥰

MODIFICATIONS: 
If you don't have access to dumbbells, you have two options! You can either do the weighted exercises without them or replace them with the exercises from the modification section at the end of this workout!

It was very informative in letting me know what to do to sign up and qualify to meet Demi and race with her 🖤

Shanna

It was really challenging through the second circuit. Loved this one!

W1/D3 Core

Daniel Boone

W1/D4 Core

Brent

Got to 110 with a weight. Having to double up because I missed a few days so this was after another an workout. Phew

W1/D5 Core

It was really hard to do those sit-ups because it felt like neck strain so I had to end up sticking my feet under the dresser to do the rest from 60 on. I only got 107 but I'm happy to have a baseline. The walk was good and relaxing but I increased the challenge by carrying a brick I found about 2 mins in. The plank. Way below my PB of past so 1.44 is again. Baseline.

No weight 172 sit-ups, 70 second plank and a 30 minute jog with a dog, followed by a hammock swing outside in the trees ❤️

Didn't get to comment last night! 161 Sit-Ups, 1min 27sec Plank. 35min Jog!

W1/D6 Core

Love a rest day filled with meal prepping

Feeling soreeee! So excited for a little self care Sunday!

W1/D7 Rest Day

Excited to go back and try this stuff in the gym too!

Those L sit moves are not my friend! Yet :)

W2/D1 Core

I really like how these exercises are so quick and also seem to be strengthening my body overall not just the core! I did find a mod for the wall exercise if you are interested!

W2/D2 Core

This one was a burner! Woo! Still had to modify some of them to keep form but feeling stronger 💪

Forgot to check this off yesterday! It was a great workout! Gym was a little crowded for for wipers so I modified slightly

Ramona

W2/D3 Core

Had to do a lot of modification. Didn't have ball so used the ground. Noticing my arms are really weak and I struggled w the workouts because of it. Good to note. I hadn't realized how much strength I lost. 😳 did a hallow hold instead of L hold things like that.

Amazing as always!!! Getting better at the L holds :) When i need to I modify by just doing a knee raise hold

W2/D4 Core

Doubles up today. Had to modify still but I think mostly because I'm already tired from the other workout. Still trying to catch up!

Slowly catching up on missed days. I can already tell I’m stronger than when I started

I loved these workouts! I have a hard time with the hanging one but my arms and core will get stronger!

W2/D5 Core

Didn't feel very good. Couldn't finish burpees as I literally was having stomach issues..had to stop for bathroom..so I added more time to the walk by 30 more mins. And did half the crunches as well. Can do better when I feel better I hope.

W2/D6 Core

Soreeee from the burpees! Much needed rest day!! ☺️ congrats to everyone for making it to the half way point! 🥳

Uhhh I still did a work out. Sorry not sorry.

W2/D7 Rest Day

I still find myself asking modifications but I do feel stronger.

Nononononononononononono…. 
Jesus, it feels like my skeleton existed the group chat. 
WEEK 3!!!!! LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!!

W3/D1 Core

That 5 minutes felt like an eternity but so proud to get through it!!

Deck squats and candle stick’s definitely a struggle.

W3/D2

Did this one w my daughter and our dog haha. She crushed me on the sit-ups! 8 year old gymnast.. 
Crunches: 100
Burpees 40 
2 plank holds for good measure.

I did not do as well on the sit ups as last time!

W3/D3 Core

Some of these are finally getting easier and by easier I mean almost doable. I think I want to revisit this whole 30 day circuit from the top and see what has changed!

W3/D4 Core

Sometimes it feels a bit like I'm overworking the shoulders or one area of the body in connection w the abs. It's fine except when it's a spot I have injured. So had to modify. Sorry! Bit got thru it. Almost didn't do this because I have such a busy day. But I said no! Almost there!

Oh wow, I am so so happy I did this!!!! 🤩💪☀️💛 I was sooooo tired after a long day, but kept pushing and finished by 9:33 PM and I am so happy - thank you for such an awesome day Demi, the Vibe Tribe and your encouragement helped keep me going!!!! ☀️💛 (AND I did 4 wall walks and modified with 1 min×4 bicycle crunches, but finally did the wall walks and they felt good!!!!!)

I’m glad that’s over with. I had to mentally push through it today. Made some small progress but still struggled at some points

W3/D5 Core

I really liked this one! It felt good but was a challenge :) still behind but catching up!

Good thing I bought a GHB machine! Great workout

My abs are on fire and popping!!! 🔥☀️💪💛 Loved this workout, I really felt it!!

W3/D6 Core

forgot to check this off yesterday but i enjoyed my rest day celebrating my cousins wedding 💛

These rest days are just suggestions right?……

W3/D7 Rest Day

Loved the mix of new and old on this one. Really tested my baseline and got to add a new couple challenges

This was intense! Forgot to comment yesterday!

Not my best performance today but still showed up. Proud of myself even on my low days

W4/D1 Core

Hip dips were stronger! Got thru this whole thing with only one modification. Getting stronger 💪

Love the guy who keeps saying “hip dips, hip dips”

This was such an amazing workout!!! Did it just before 11 PM, after a busy day of walking, legs + shoulders workout, and sports practice!! 💪🥰💛 Feeling so strong and accomplished, AND hit one of my challenge goals with deadlifting!!!! Thank you so so much Demi!

W4/D2 Core

This one was a quick easy one to get in and I appreciate it as I feel sick today. Felt stronger in my abs despite it tho

W4/D3 Core

Good mix on this one. Had to modify as I did this at the beach again. Also. Hard to hold a plank w bugs haha 😄

Totally spaced and forgot to do this yesterday, so guess who’s doing TWO workouts today! This girl!!! #GAINS

W4/D4 Core

Note to self earing oatmeal before ab workout..not good idea. Almost hurled. Got her done tho! ✔️ felt so much better on these flutter kicks 😍

I almost forgot to hit complete today. I would’ve ruined my nice streak 😵‍💫

W4/D5 Core

These four weeks were crazy! I gf to skip a few day because I was busy with work and family but I caught up on the following days, I also didn’t realise I was supposed to mark them off 😂 so I made sure to go back and do that but this was an amazing experience! Definitely noticed a difference over the month! Hope yall enjoyed it as much as I did!

Alyssa Ramirez

Woo-hoo! I did it all! No mods no stopping. No good enough. I did it! I'm liking the changes I see and the strength I feel! 💪 took me a while 50 mins but I did it!

W4/D6 Core

So excited for whoever wins and I'm so glad I decided to do this challenge. At time I wanted to quit because I was sick or busy but I'm so glad I stuck w the group and the challenge and finally see results! Winning!

Really amazing experience!! An incredible challenge so happy to have been a part of it. To have gotten this opportunity to show to myself what I am able to accomplish and do. To have strengthened not only my body but also my mind. I had my low moments where I doubted myself but I held myself accountable and finished strong. And with Tanya I’m so proud of myself. I hope my submission went through because my page was acting up and wasn’t loading properly.

Agree with Zach 🤪 always a 5 star rating 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and this is so bittersweet like Chey said and this got me back on my fitness track like Nicole said and it all changed my life like Sky said. 🥺❤️ Thank you Demi for everything! This has been the best 4 weeks and I’m so grateful!
