I can’t feel my legs in the best of ways

Kennedy

Jillian

This one is the best leg workout I’ve had in a LONG time!!!

Danielle

Carly

Fighting for my life this entire workout 😮‍💨

Laura

I was all excited to not have reverse lunges anymore, and then the Bulgarian split squats came in to make me immediately regret that 😅

I’ve lost 4 pounds in these 5 weeks but also have gotten so much stronger. Feeling proud as a 3x c section mama
