165lbs for the pause DL & 80 lbs for the deficit sumo squats! 🔥

Cleo

Sara

Autumn

Single leg work wiping me out as usual…

Courtney

Great but going to work on completing the last two rounds next time

Upped weight on all of it and felt less fatigued by the end of the conditioning but still felt gassed at the end🥵. Loved the workout!

Sarah

⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️💓💗
Love it... red faced 🥵👍🏻

Leigh-Ann

Kayla Lennon

This was a leg burner! Felt freaking amazing

Rebecca Milway

Erika

Lily

So many times I wanted to stop during this workout. But then I remembered growth comes from being uncomfortable!

Kaylie

That one didn’t lookouts at first glance but the conditioning at the end got me!

Andree

Cassandra

Do you ever feel more irritated or snappy on days you don't workout? I pray today after this workout will be a better day mentally for myself and my 3 kiddos. Dads out of town, 2 out of 3 had croup pop up while he was gone. If I could figure out sleep while dealing with them doing steam showers at 3a and then standing outside so they can breathe and get my mental health in check, it be a great day. :-D

Bridgid

Great workout! Pouring sweat never felt so good! 🤣

Tiffany

Wasn’t able to finish week 8 last week. Feels great to be on the last week

Victoria Leon

Preworkout got me through this one 😅. Tired but pushed through!!

Ashley

Great leg workout. Even worked out with my 1 year old on my back.

Kelly

I know the challenge is over but I'm still getting after these awesome workouts!! Might even start the whole challenge over! Loved it that much! 😍👍

Aerin

Did this on Monday! Forgot to “complete”

Tess Creatura

Behind a week from falling on my shoulder but in all honesty I’m really not behind when this is my lifestyle working out and eating right. If there are bumps in the road we just continue we’re we left off and keep chugging forward!! 💛💚💛

Michelle Eisenberg

Whoo! That last circuit!!🤪 Leg and booty burner!!

Dead! I’ve never done those slide things before! Love doing new things!

Melissa

Rachael

What legit burn! Leg workouts are by far my favourite ❤️

Not sure if this is part of my improvement (I believe it is because I know your joints are supported by the surrounding muscles, more strength means better operation hopefully) but the last time I did this workout, one of my knees popped during the Bulgarian Splits and made it difficult to complete the rest of the workout. Today my knees did great and I was even able to do a few rounds of conditioning (couldn’t do it all because I ran out of time).

Cristine

Jojo

Lexi Williams

Maddie

love this workout!!! i only did 1 round of the conditioning today but i’ve done all 4 workouts for the 8 weeks so my body needed to end there 😇

Ashly

The conditioning was mentally challenging! Single leg work + 5 rounds= 💦💪🏼🥵

Leah

Jenny Winderbaum

Do you know what would cause sacrum discomfort in the pause deadlifts? I could do a regular deadlift and it was fine but when I added the pause it felt off.

Whitney

This was such a good workout. I’m feeling strong again and it makes me sooo happy. The conditioning was killer!

Mariana

Bluann

Hannahhhhhh you got me over here in the gym on all 4 🤣🤣🤣 but I’m not mad about it 😂 The results speak for themselves 💪🏾💪🏾🦵🏾🦵🏾

Élise

So, so hard to convince myself to do all 5 conditioning rounds...but it's done🙌

Reps are lower see if you can increase your weight.

If you can, have zero to no rest between your close stance and far stance.

Modifications: static lunge on the ground, or hold onto a bar/shelf for balance

Form:
- Begin with a dumbbell in each hand, engage your core, retract your shoulders stand tall

I really appreciate the “just get movement in” because I do not go to the gym, but I stress myself out with the equipment I have and not being able to meet the exercise requirement

Jessica

Common Questions: How Do I Modify Gym Workouts For Home?

Starting this program again, and from last time I’m starting the same weight for some movements and stronger for others. Man am I sweating after that EMOM!😅😂

Loved this! Excited to go through this plan 🙌🏼

Buy-In Workout

That was excellent and informative feedback and preparation for this challenge ❤️

This was the best thing to listen to ever. ❤️🙏🏻

This is mostly what’s missing in the fitness industry 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Week 1 Mindset: Setting the stage and managing expectations

Always love the mini HIIT workouts at the end!

Tamara

Going up in weight and slowing down my movements

Love these workouts with the conditioning at the end.

Margaret

W1/D4 Shoulders Glutes and Core Get Stronger 3.0

That was very informative and a lot to take in but excellent information to reflect on

Consistency has been my huge hurdle; putting myself down because I did 3 workouts instead of 4 for the week for example, and feeling like I was lazy in doing so when life threw me curve balls that week. Thank you for this, for reminding us all of finding the why and to persevere. ❤️

Sofia

I started crying listening to this as consistency has been my largest struggle. I used to be a personal trainer and drove my self hard and after I changed my career I have struggled to find my self within health and fitness again. It used to be my largest passion and I thrived in it but now I can't seem to find where I fit in it anymore.

Mindset 2: Cultivating Consistency

Definitely going to feel this tomorrow 🤣 legs are on 🔥🔥

Great leg day! I’m so happy you put modifications on here. The gym was crowded so I was able to use the modifications you recommended since a lot of things weren’t available.

I absolutely love the conditioning after strength! Your workouts are amazing 💜

Ahhh!!!this workout is always so intense!! I love it!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Great lift and conditioning workout. 💪

Catherine

W2/D4 Shoulder, Glutes, Core Get Stronger 3.0

I love full body days since I can move quickly through from set to set since the muscle group is always changing!

W2/D5 Optional Full Body Get Stronger 3.0

Perfect for days like this week when life is so busy and chaotic and that motivational or goal starts to feel far away or further away.

I absolutely love how you both incorporate more than just speaking about motivation, but speak about other important topics - putting in effort, baby steps, comparing, etc. love this!

Always get emotional during these mindset talks. It is a big weight off of my shoulders to know that perfection is not required during this challenge. Grateful for this community 💕

When Motivation Dwindles

Shaking!! 🔥 you don’t realized how strong you gotten until you can do a workout without modification I love that feeling! 🤗🤗

Cassie

W3/D1 Legs and Core Get Stronger 3.0

The plank complex is a sneaky little bugger!!

W3/D2 Chest and Back Get Stronger 3.0

Had to modify due to gym availability and ability. I was a bit disappointed about that... but still walking away with jello arms and that gym high!

Conditioning was so hard! Modified almost everything but my arms are still shaking 💪

Some of the move were very advanced… thank goodness for modifications 😅

Kate

W3/D3 Biceps and Triceps Get Strongr 3.0

Hands down best program I’ve ever done. The variation keeps it interesting and fun!

Tracy

W3/D4 Shoulders Glutes and Core Get Stronger 3.0

Woah!! It’s been a minute since I did a full body from this challenge damn its tough!! but feels so good but a bit sluggish lol did 5 rounds tho not to shabby 😆😆

Great workout! These whole body workouts are great, I really like how they are laid out! Thanks!

W3/D5 Optional Full Body Workout

Great insights, as I reflect on the information discussed, I do notice my body operates at a more optimal level with more sleep/rest in the bank, than on 5  hours of sleep. 
Thank you for sharing great content!💚

I loved this chit chat! This has been something that I feel like I’ve grown in so much over these past few challenges. I notice the times when I’m using its as an excuse rather than as a need.

Taylor

Loved this. I have had some days that I know I needed discipline over rest 😂. It's hard! I feel like it's definitely something you learn about yourself overtime. Thank you 💛

To Rest or Not To Rest

That condition at the end is always so tough I always say that I can’t do 5 rounds then I keep telling myself to just keep going just keep going 😆😆

Just another reason to be grateful for working out, my body, and that leg day feeling 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

No matter how many times I do Bulgarian Split Squats, they still kick my butt!!! Such a great workout!!

Nicole

W4/D1 Legs and Core Get Stronger 3.0

Bekah

The Y movement is so challenging, is there anything I can do to help improve on that?  Or just more of these exercises?  I guess what I’m trying to ask is, is it a specific muscle that is weaker, causing those to be so hard for me?  Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Katie

Wow. Seemed like a simple workout, but the burn and was real in that conditioning!!!!!

W4/D2 Back and Chest Get Stronger 3.0

My arms are shakingggg. I could barely complete the crab toe touches!!

W4/D3 Bicep and Tricep Get Stronger 3.0
