Kelsey

It went well with the other one I did today. My legs still burned in Bulgarian squat.

It may be a de-load week but we’re still getting a sweat in!

Summer Burn| Week 9 Day 1| Power + Athleticism

Just what I needed today. I couldn’t stand straight when I woke up because my lower back pain so I listened to myself and did this instead of forcing a gym session. Amazing thank you.

I was extremely anxious this morning. Body is tight, mind is tired and I didn’t want to go to gym. This was perfect. ❤️

Summer Burn| Week 8 Day 5| 40 Min Mobility: Follow Along

I took a break from this app to just go back to basic lift spilt. This year has been the hardest year and my gym motivation started to lack again so decided to revisit the app. This workout was just what I needed today

Morgan

It was good but confusing. Instead of seeing it as options it looks like double exercises with auto timer and longer than 4 minutes. I chose the week 5 since that one I enjoyed and still sweated.

Summer Burn| Week 8 Day 4| Full Body Conditioning Flow

Feel great and I know that I am going to be sore later.

Oh my goodness this was HARD and humbling! 
The deadhangs were frustrating because my grip strength is SO weak that I ended up having a few 5 second hangs towards the end of the 2 minutes 🥵

Summer Burn| Week 8 Day 1: Power + Athleticism

I am done with week 7. I enjoyed the core.

Summer Burn| Week 7 Day 5: Core + Recovery

Absolutely killer but my favorite kind 😈

Summer Burn: Week 7 Day 4| Full Body Conditioning/Flow

Lisa

Loved the new moves. Feeling tired but STRONG! 💪🏼🔥

Summer Burn| Week 7 Day 3| Functional Strength & Core

Tiana

Summer Burn| Week 7 Day 1| Power Athleticm

I’m done with week 6 and I enjoyed it that helped me decompress from work and refreshing.

Summer Burn| Week 6 Day 5| Pelvic Floor  + Cardio

Increased weights but modified a bit at the end because I was so wiped 🥵 looking forward to the three days hamstring soreness 😂

Summer Burn| Week 6 Day 4| Functional Strength + Core

Completed yesterday, killed my legs and core but in a good way. It’s been cool to see the progress

Summer Burn| Week 6 Day 3| Power & Athleticism

Upped weight in everything! Surprised myself because I wasn’t feeling particularly strong today. I’m literally stronger than I think 🥰

Angela

Summer Burn| Week 6 Day 2| Functional Strength & Core

Stephanie

Emilia

I enjoyed the stretches and mobility. Just what I needed for the start of my day.

Brooke

Summer Burn| Week 5 Day 5| 40 Min Mobility: Follow Along

Shreya

Spicy and efficient! Did the 3 min EMOM and had about 30-40 seconds at the end of each round except the last round when I was struggling. Got through the second circuit in about 12min if the rest periods aren’t counted and 15 with 45 sec rest after each set

Summer Burn| Week 5 Day 4| Full Body Conditioning Flow

Will 100000% be feeli by those Supermans tomorrow! 🙇🏻‍♀️

That first circuit is one of my faves. Was dripping sweat by the end. Needed that!

Summer Burn| Week 5 Day 3| Functional Strength + Core

Increased weight and got an additional round in from 4 to 5! Feels good to be moving!

Shawnia

Love this one! Almost 6 sets and am sweatyyyy 🥵

Summer Burn| Week 5 Day 2| Metabolic Conditioning

Reading the comments I was prepared to sweat but HOT DAMN 🥵 🔥 just what my mind and body needed 💪

Summer Burn| Week 5 Day 1: Power + Athleticism

Just what I needed at the start of the day.

Felt good to stretch out the aches and pains

Summer Burn| Week 4 Day 5: Core + Recovery

Loved this! Upped weight for just about everything and felt good!

Summer Burn: Week 4 Day 4| Full Body Conditioning/Flow

Definitely started to lose grip strength in the second circuit at the 3rd set. Had to give up on the hanging tuck ups because I could literally not hold on! 🥹

Shoulder hurt with the hanging core work so I changed that to leg lifts

Summer Burn| Week 4 Day 3| Functional Strength & Core

Dying! Love these workouts. I can’t finish within the minute most of the time, but I’ll get there!

Always love mobility at the end of the week. 😍

Summer Burn| Week 3 Day 5| Pelvic Floor  + Cardio

I have not been motivated at all these last couple weeks with illness and just tired of working night shift. I feel like I’m going backwards on my progression.  One day at a time.

Started the night before then finished after midnight. Just what I needed.

Summer Burn| Week 3 Day 4| Functional Strength + Core

I loved this! The bi weekly Pilates really served me for this and it was nice to feel rather than see the work I’ve been doing!!!

This was a good deload week workout that still challenges!

Summer Burn| Week 3 Day 3| Power & Athleticism

Running on low fumes today so this one didn’t hit as much since I didn’t push myself as hard but I’m glad I got some movement in either way

Really enjoy this one for the simplicity!!

Definitely upped my weights and felt great to see the progression in a few weeks!

Summer Burn| Week 3 Day 2| Functional Strength & Core

Completed this Thursday but forgot to finish in app!

Might be low impact but not low on sweat 🥵 loved it!

Loved the break from all the plyo but no less of a sweaty mess than normal. 🥵 😂

Janessa Orwig

Summer Burn| Week 3 Day 1| Power + Athleticism

Loved this! Had both of my sons join in; they play club soccer and wrestle and they both struggled through the mobility. Trying to teach them to be intentional with their breaths and movements! We will be returning to this!

Krista

Dina

It was good. As a former dancer, it was interesting to see how mobile I still am in some areas even while being SO tight in other areas from being postpartum. I really appreciated it. Thank you!

KaLinda

Summer Burn| Week 2 Day 5| 40 Min Mobility: Follow Along

Love all the mobility exercises that you have in place….

Arpita

Think I could have gone from 4 min to 3 which was surprising because I really thought I’d be dragging today due to soreness but I had about 1:35 at the end of each EMOM. Got through circuit b in about 14 min with round 3 being the fastest after I found the flow.

Loved the 3 or 4 min EMOM!! Sooo good! 🔥

Summer Burn| Week 2 Day 4| Full Body Conditioning Flow

Slow burn! 🔥 
Those Superman’s about had me dead and I usually love a Superman! Humbling

My legs were quivering at the end of that. 3 mile run before probably didn’t help. But man those Superman’s burn it all out

Summer Burn| Week 2 Day 3| Functional Strength + Core

Loved this one! Burpees are a love/hate. Love because they work so well, hate because they work so well 🤣

Brianna

Julia

Summer Burn| Week 2 Day 1: Power + Athleticism

I always forget how impactful and good it feels to slow down and do some mobility. Some great work in there
