The first day of a new workout is always the hardest. Thanks for helping me! 🏋️‍♀️

AMRAP is a challenge! I was able to do 5.5 rounds. I did 6 sets of 15 push-ups! I am going to have to build up to 2 minute dead hang.

MAY/FRI - Full Body Challenge

I did this one camping using bands. It was probably pretty funny to watch 😅

Barbell hip thrust is the most difficult.
