Slow, controlled, smooth. Focus on you planting and stride.

90 degree lunges walking forward, twisting at the core on the opposite side of the bent knee as you go.

Walking Lunge with Twist

Brining your knees towards your chest as you move forward, chest up, back straight. Knees high!

Jogging High Knees

Exaggerating the bend of your knees as you run so that your heels touch your glutes (butt).

Jogging Butt Kicks

Like Mario! A skip that is punctuated with a powerful thrust upwards by a high knee, and crunched core, switching legs as you moving forward.

Power Skip

While walking forward, bring one knee up at a time to your chest, and squeeze the core, alternating legs as you move forward.

Walking Knees to Chest

I hit failure so many times today I laughed. I'm smoked

Ryan

W1/D2 - Chest Day

I've hit total failure everday during the supersets. Huge pump today!

Will

Great workout!  Just challenging enough without being too much.

W1/D3 - Back & Biceps

I was going to try to put this as my cardio before my lifting session to be an alpha chad but I just couldn’t do it, kudos if you can try this

Feels like I want pushing hard enough but the 400’s got me

Gabe

Thank God for my Garmin. I wish I had a track I could hop on to do these work outs but running around my local park hills and all will just help. Good cold wet run in the rain today

Sean

W1/D6 - Arms

W1/D7 - REST, REST, REST!!

I feel my lower back now.  Good workout!  I definitely challenged myself on that one, especially with the squat and deadlift.

Mark

I pushed it harder here in week 2. This program has totally changed my repscheme and weights. Felt good to push hard, may not be able to run hard later but I think a good recovery run will do me well or I may not be able to walk tomorrow!

W2/D1 - Leg Day

It's was a good burn.  I could barely do any of the last superset by the end.

I recommend changing the close grip chest press to another exercise. Perhaps cable pulls for chest

New super set was hard but I made it through my 4th round of dips before hitting failure on them!

King of the Yard baby. That left me feeling King of the Yard

The cable raises roasted me right off the bat, felt the burn all the way through

Solid trusted super value!
Like the shorter session format!

Starting to feel a big difference. 🔥💯
