Abby

I'm starting this challenge a week late, but this was an awesome start for me!

Sarah

Elena

Got a slow start recovering from a cold but glad to be back in action!

Autumn Walter

A good workout! A bit bummed because I don’t have a long band at home for hamstring curls (didn’t know it was required), but I supplemented it with more weighted donkey kicks. Could you please give bodyweight alternatives for us newbies? Thanks!

Emma

Hana

Finally did my first workout and I really enjoyed it. I did it from home so it took me a total of 30 min is that normal? Some rest periods were a little shorter though.

Mariya

Daisy

That was tough! My legs are shaking at the end! 🍑

Brittany Marie

I liked the workout however I felt the kneeling squats to be a little awkward! Maybe it’s my form or the first time doing it but it wasn’t my favorite.

Carolina

Roxanne

It was great! My apartment gym did not have the leg curl machine so I did another machine to replace it. Definitely worked up a sweat.

Reese

On fireeeeeee yesss! Also love legs on Monday’s!

Nicole

Great! My legs are shaking, love the timer features and checking off work out feature!

Julia

Petra

Jasmin

Feeling great! I love the diverse movements (:

Kailey

Leggies on a Monday are my absolute fav 🔥 🍑 😅

Use these movements to help activate your muscles before beginning your workout. After the first exercise go straight into the second exercise with minimal rest. Then rest once both exercises are complete and repeat for the sets given.

Complete reps on both sides

Advanced: weighted 
Beginner: body weight 

Form Tips:
• elbows below shoulders
• knees below hips 
• lock in abs and hips 
• drive your heel toward the ceiling (imagine you’re pushing the ceiling away from you) 
• keep tension in your glutes the entire time 

❌ don’t arch your spine as you kick back 
❌ don’t move your hips as you kick back 

✅ do focus on driving through your glutes 
✅ do squeeze your glutes at the top and lower with control

Weighted Donkey Kick

Hold for 15-45 seconds depending on fitness level 

Form Tips:
• knees in a 90 degree angle 
• lock in core, shoulders rolled back on wall, spine neutral 
• keep heels and toes plants
• flex quads, glutes, and core 

❌ don’t use your hands to push on your legs or hold you up on the wall 
❌ don’t let heels come up off the ground 

✅ do continue to breathe through the movement

Wall Sit

Squat

Advanced: barbell or dumbbell
Beginner: dumbbell or bodyweight 

Form tips: 
• shoulder blades on bench/box
• chin tucked 
• feet hip width apart with toes pointed forward, heels planted and toes gripping the ground 
• feet should be right below knees at the top of the thrust (if they are too far forward you’ll feel it more in your hamstrings, if they are too far back you will feel it more in your quads & knees)
• keep knees in line with toes as you drive up and lower 
• abs locked in and ribs locked down to protect your spine 
• squeeze your glutes at the top and lower with control 

❌ don’t arch your back at the top 
❌ don’t let your knees cave in 

✅ do go through the full range of motion (using a weight you can do so with) 
✅ do keep your core tight the entire time to protect your spine

• drive up using your hamstrings 
• release with control keeping the tension in your hamstrings the entire time 

❌ don’t let your hips lift up as you curl 
❌ don’t swing your legs up 

✅ do isolate your hamstrings and move with control 
✅ do keep your head down to avoid straining your neck

My biggest take away after my first flourish fit workout. I didn’t feel alone in my workout! I didn’t realize how just having a workout guide could help so much. I enjoy the time to myself as a busy mom and wife but this was so SO nice!
