Kaylah

Flute bridges at the end was a awesome finisher, done by 6am and feeling great!

Taylor

My hamstrings are dead after that one 🥵

Mary Wagner

Killer glute burn. I am dying after this one. 👊🏻

Hard workout! A little rough on my knees! Would love to have more modifications available! 
Loved the workout otherwise!

Rae 

such a challenging workout, felt so good afterward!!!🍑

Switched it up today for leg day and that one felt amazing!

Loving your workouts! Leg/booty days are my fave😍

Sara

Legs

New week.. new goals. Shred program maintenance with Kelsey! Started off strong with leg day! 🔥

Minimal gym equipment which was perfect when the gym was packed!

Amazing glute focused workout, will be repeating this one as I am trying to reduce my quad dominance

Tricia

Rachel

Had to improvise a bit. Smaller gym. Less equipment. Got it done and still managed to feel amazing. #HurricaneIra don’t mess. 🔥 Might have to shift to Kelsey’s at home body weight workouts for the next few days but I know she’s got my back. No #hurricanegains for me 😄

Damn Kelsey!! The front loaded reverse lunges…. Had me at my mantra every set 😉

Trying to get through this workout with sore legs and glutes from Monday’s leg day was tough but got it done 🥵💪🏼

Brittan McCombs

Increased my weights and feeling super strong

And, that’s how you start the week off… booty burn ❤️‍🔥🔥❤️‍🔥🔥

That was a killer quad workout today! My legs are shaking and on fire! 🔥🔥🔥

Loveddd the quad focused day! Nearly crawled out of the gym after that one 😅

Quad Burn

Jane

My quads are burning!! I loved this leg day!

Jamie Migues

The glutes will be feeling it tomorrow, great workout.

I’d like some alternatives if you can’t do a certain exercise

Anna luise

Always feel the burn immediately after 🙃🫶🏽

Great workout to start the week!! My glutes are burning!

Awesome Leg Day!! I love that this program continues to push me daily!!

First time for legs on Friday but that felt amazing. Those reverse lunges kickbacks…🤦🏼‍♀️

My hamstrings are feeling it after that one 🥵

No better way to start the week off on a good foot…🔥🔥🔥 that last superset wasn’t sure I’d make it through

That leg workout felt so good! What a good way to start a Monday!

Friday leg day. It works; and that them legs were shaking!

My legs are jello after that one- loved it!

Lori

Happy Monday!  Love kicking off the week with a fire burner, thanks Miss Kelsey ❤️‍🔥

This was a great booty and hamstring day!! Such a great push for me.

Ouch those glute focused step ups are deceivingly Tough! Love them

Loved the sumo squat to rdl! Glutes and hams were on fire!!

Amanda

Sarah

I think I actually died and came back during that one 🥵🥶

Stacie

This was a killer leg day! The jump lunges were so tough. I am glad I pushed through!

Tough but a good workout. I think I didn't lift as heavy as I needed to because I got through the workout much faster with breaks. But my legs are jello. I personally find it difficult to do the jumping moves because of pressure on my knees so I modified that part.

Perfect for a quick home sesh before work. Those pulses will have your quads BURNIN'

Not my best as I have been under the weather but loved the concept and want to save and go back when at 110% 😀

Wow legs are reallll shaky after that superset killer 😅 loved the variety in this one!

Legs (Superset Burn)

I 1000% under estimated the deficit lunges😅👏🏻

Terrific! Couldn’t do the last workout with a standard bench. Any recommendations for an alternative?

Samantha

Kelsey always finds ways to push us with these workouts! Such a great start to 2023!!

Leg day always my favorite… that last superset though —- 💥

Took me just at an hour.. legs will be jello tomorrow!!

Lisa Coligan

❤️ this one. Basic moves leads to huge improvements and focus…plus that triset gets me every time.

Modified to complete at home; but I reached a new Bulgarian split squat weight goal!! 💪

A little low on energy this morning and was a bit concerned with my knee but todays leg day felt so good… sometimes slow days can turn into a bomb workout. Thanks, Kelsey! Loved both supersets at the end before the finisher set 😀

Anonymous

Drop sets were awesome. Did them as 30 reps per set. Did the abductors with bands

My glutes havent been this burnt out in a long while 🔥

Glute and Hamstrings (High volume!)

Modified to complete at home. Had me drenched in sweat 😅

A good workout that is easily modified for different levels/people!

Holy shit. Those split squat supersets. Holy moly. Legit died and saw the lordt

Amazingggggg!!!! LOVED the curtsy / clam combo! The db rdl and goblet banded were killer too! 🤩🤩

Loved the lifted clamshells. Opened up my hips as needed ❤️‍🔥

I loved today. It made me feel strong. 💪🏼

It’s birthday week and what a way to start it…. plus day after SB. Kelsey nailed it… and that hip thruster triset 🥵 but excited to report I have a new starting weight for bb hip thrusts 😁…

Sometimes you sweat and other times you SWEAT! So glad to be back. That booty pump was dynamite 🧨 (it’s growing slowly.. 🍑 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️

Jesus Christ!!!! My legs and glutes got destroyed !🔥🔥 I won’t be able to walk tomorrow😆

Jenny

Kristen

Who knew what one week off could do for you? So good to be back. Feeling strong and got that booty pump going!! ❤️❤️❤️

Glutes and Hamstrings (Hinge Movement Focused)

Modified to do at home. Really enjoyed this one

Well, that was a real “kick” in the butt. Feeling tired too but that one gave me a huge pump and loved the landmine superset!! 🥵

So bomb!!  This….. was by far a
New favorite!! I wish there was a favorite option!

Booty burn 🍑Monday! This was by far one of my favorites … the push was real during the last superset…❤️❤️❤️

Booty on fireee after that one 🔥 those banded good mornings 😮‍💨

Leaving the gym super sweaty and barely walking 😅

👋 quads…. Pretty sure they jist woke up 😉

Crawling out of the gym after that one ☠️

Quads

The glute focused step ups are my favorite!☠️

Omg the jello legs after this. So so good!!!

Not really sure how I walked out of the gym…that superset 🥵

Omg the best leg day I’ve had in awhile! Loveeed this!

Okay, so that DB front squat , reverse lunge curtsy superset…. I have no words to describe… killer!🔥🔥🔥

This was a touch quad day! Those reverse lunge to curtesy lunge made my legs shake like jello. 👊🏻

Nothing better to start a Monday morning by waking up them glutes (oh and totally forgot my barbell pad, so a little extra damage done not to let the bar hit wrong during the hip thrusts—- more work without the pad 😫

Also, I do love a 3x finisher exercise too (makes it easier for me to get in the zone ;)
