This is a challenging workout for gym users and doesn’t relocate a realistic gym set up. I had to skip the treadmill intervals because the treadmill location is not near a location where I could complete the other exercises.

Dead and dying but happy about it 🥵 The sweat is pouring down my face

Did this over the lifting since I’m having muscle fatigue

Summer Sizzle| Week 1 Day 5: Core + Recovery

Felt easy but I’m very sweaty so I know I pushed it! Quite pleasing to have it feel easy but still get some good work done

I thought this was gonna be easy peasy but boy I was wrong!  Talk about a sweaty mess! 🥵 ♥️

This was sooo fun and wow dripping sweat yet again!

Kelsey

Summer Sizzle| Week 1 Day 3| Functional Strength & Core

Loved this workout! Can’t wait to increase weight on those db thrusters 😈

My favorite!!! I loooove a HIIT workout and this checked all the boxes 🤩

Sweaty mess. I told myself “maybe 8 rounds”, but once I got there I knew I could push through. I modified the box jumps and push-ups on the 5h round so I think that helped give me a bit more stamina. But boy, by those last 2 rounds I was getting gassed. Surprised myself by getting Tabata done pretty easily too. Gonna be sore tomorrow!

Love those Z sits both challenging and provide lots of feedback

RECLAIM Phase 3| Week 4 Day 2| Upper Body DELOAD

A great deload day! Very sweaty, but felt good!

Hit a PR on the single leg press! Not too bad for a deload day!

Reclaim Phase 3| Week 4 Day 1| Lowerbody DELOAD

Felt stronger than I thought I would today! Was on vacay so didn’t do any of these workouts, but still did 2 rucks and 2 walks while away. Feels good to get back in to it!

Dedra

RECLAIM| Phase 3| Week 3 Day 5| Upperbody Athletic + Power

Did nooooot want to move today but turned my brain off and got after it. Feeling better than when I started for sure

Pleasantly surprised with my increase and weight and performance all around 🤩

The around the world lateral shuffle I find fun to do 😁

RECLAIM| Phase 3| Week 2 Day 5| Upperbody Athletic + Power

I enjoyed it. Intense and simple at the same time.

Didn’t increase weight as much as I feel like I could’ve because my knee was bothering me today but still felt good to get this one done!

RECLAIM Phase3| Week 2 Day 4| Lower Body Athleticism + Power

Couldn’t push myself as hard until the last 20 seconds since I had my 3yr old riding his strider and he wasn’t going that fast 🤣 but did what I could!! I loved it still!

Kayla 

I enjoyed core and cardio. Enjoyed most of it.

Julia

Reclaim Phase 3| Week 2 Day 3| Sprints + Core

I am enjoying it and learning about getting more comfortable and confident in the movements while being stacked.

My push presses are feeling so much better 💪🏽🔥

RECLAIM Phase 3| Week 2 Day 2| Upper Body Strength + Power

I just got done with reclaim you march challenge and was wanting more workouts from Hannah! It was great!! I loved it. Although I have bands at home, my gym doesn’t have the bands like in her videos so I’ll have to bring mine from home next time! I did everything without bands at a slower tempo and I just love love loved it!! Soo good!! 10/10 recommend!

It’s been really hard mentally to stay consistent recently. I’m so glad I convinced myself to just do it today! Felt so good!

I definitely feel it in the glutes and certain areas. I took my time in the exercise. I enjoyed it until the end.

I enjoyed learning new things and took my time on this one.

Whew! Always a little rough doing new exercises, the workout doesn’t feel as smooth but I’m excited to keep going and improving on everything! Felt good to move today, listened to my body and had an unplanned rest day yesterday.

Reclaim Phase 3| Week 1 Day 1| Lowerbody Strength + Power

Loving the little changes in phase 3! Felt really good today!

I enjoyed the upper body and things changed up. I also enjoy the stretches and cool down.

One of the best upper body workouts! 🤜🏻🤛🏻

RECLAIM| Phase 3| Week 1 Day 5| Upperbody Athletic + Power

Did not want to workout today but so glad I did!!

I enjoy lower body and I find it helpful.

RECLAIM Phase3| Week 1 Day 4| Lower Body Athleticism + Power

What a great workout, I also did the running twice! Inspired 🫶🏻

Wow that was good! Did 2 rounds of the treadmill work 👌🏻

Okay those rolling v ups did piss me off at first but once I got in motion no one could tell me shhhhh 🤪🤘🏻
I did struggle to roll from Superman back to my right side without a little finger push but I’ll work on it

Reclaim Phase 3| Week 1 Day 3| Sprints + Core

Felt good to get this done today! Definitely didn’t get as many workouts in this week as I had hoped, but next week is a new week!

I'm seeing some muscles 😱😍 I'm feeling so strong girls!!!

So loved every second of that. Feel so powerful!!!

RECLAIM Phase 3| Week 1 Day 2| Upper Body Strength + Power

We just did a little bit of errry thang today. Finally got connected with me PF which was really cool and strange at the same time.

Optional| HIIT & Mobility/Recovery

Some are challenging but I really enjoyed it.

Much needed core workout after week I had

Ooohh weee.  First time doing this and it has some really sneaky tough moves!  May be a new fave workout.

Reclaim| Bonus Advanced Deep Core (optional)

Reclaim phase 2| Week 4 Day 3| Deep Core + Cardio

My kids were screaming the entire workout but I still feel better getting it done! Here’s to a quick and easy bedtime😅

Kept it about the same as last week as I found I had a bit more in the tank than I thought I did coming into my workout today so I increased sets and reps where I felt it and got a god sweat in!

Thank goodness it’s de load on spring break! Working out with 4 under 6 isn’t not easy 😅

Zarah

Reclaim phase 2| Week 4 Day 1| Lower Body Strength| Deload

Hey I finally tried the deficit with the box, instead of grabbing my leg and hey it felt so good. I was able to do it with great balance and form. 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Got it done and feeling great! This might be my favorite routine of this phase

Lowered the weights and heights but it all still felt good!

RECLAIM Phase2| Week 4 Day 4| Lower Body Athleticism| Deload

RECLAIM| Phase 2| Week 4 Day 5| Athletic Upperbody| deload

Might be lower weights and less reps, but she still will make ya sweat!

Decreased sets but kept weights and reps about the same and am already shaky 🤪

RECLAIM Phase 2| Week 4 Day 2| Upper Body Strength| Deload

These kinds of workouts make me feel like a professional athlete 🤜🏻🤛🏻 I love it.

RECLAIM| Phase 2| Week 3 Day 5| Athletic Upperbody

I enjoyed it and it makes sense to take it slow instead is rushing to maintain posture. I find it to be helpful is what I need.

Did not have time for the cool down today! But holy moly I’m dead 💀💀💀 woke up early and did a ruck with the hubby too. Great lower body day today!
