Sophia

Again all amazing! Really great workout, but I’m still struggling to hit the rep count on the windmills-my wrists must be super weak🤦🏽‍♀️😂

Ellen

Alejandra Romero

Had to modify on the rainbows, but got it done

Rebecca

Maria

I can’t handle all the windmills, but apart from that it was great😊

Olivia

Silke

Sofie

Anais Afrika

Veronica

That last exercise windmills struggled with getting past 8 reps. Arms give out.

Steve

Destiny

Dina program är en sån succé så det är helt sjukt❤️resultaten är garanterade om man är villig att jobba för det, tack Magnus 🙌🏼😀

Jeanette

I really like the workout, but I’m never able to do the windmills- what can I do instead of them?

Miriam

Great workout, would love to be able to track weights used

Regina

Hanging Windmill is still a no go unfortunately

Hendrik

My windmills improved so much since last week! 💫

Katherine

Still working up to the hanging windmills

Accidentally grabbed my extra light band for the first set of curtsy lunges and they were really easy 😳 Subsequent rounds suitably challenging with the correct band.

Jennifer

Connie Dale

Awesome. On the windmill, is it one rep after the legs have gone to both sides, or does each side count as its own rep?

Dani

Chandrika

Painful in a good way. My abs, legs, & glutes are done for the day. 

Worth it.

Rachel

Franziska

Holly

I still can't do the windmills. I really struggle with anything hanging. Is there any alternative to this exercise?

Ivanka

Sham

Looking for variety from week 1. I have trouble loading videos from the app every day

Justin

Not easy! But feeling pumped after a good workout!! After 1 week off been sick getting back to the gym feels good!

Alicia

Took the first two days of the week off this week, but with a strong mind and encouragement from bae, I did it. Didn’t go to the gym this late, but took out the handy cycling machine and improvised 💪🏽

Joanna

Nope - I definitely can’t do windmills 😂 Have to make up my own core work for that one. Everything else felt great (and helped work out some of the muscle ache from yesterday’s workout!)

Sharon Braddock

After being sick and having to drop out of the challenge this is a great way to get back into routine, it kicked my rear end and that's what I needed 💪🏼🤗

What is the best way to modify the windmills at the end? I find it very difficult to hold the grip for the full 3 sets of 20. Should I do less reps per set? Or is there a modification on the floor I should do instead? I ended up splitting it as 10 hanging windmills and 10 windmills in a dip position, but even that was too much by the third set.

Puja

Is there any exercise to help build up for the final core exercise? I attempt to do it but am very weak at it. I am just starting back at the gym since covid started almost 2 years ago.

Hello, can it be possible you add some basic warm up at the beginning and stretch at the end. I had to stop during a week as my shoulders were killing me after previous week. I understand that it is not necessary for daily gym people but if you want to go back in shape it can be a real nightmare.

Alea Conte

Provide some alternative exercises for advanced moves eg windmills

Swapped the windmills for windscreen wipers!! Will get stronger!!!

W4/D4 HIIT + legs + core

It would be awesome if you can see the repetions and pounds you put on the week before, so in that way you can see if you need to increase the pounds and you will see the progress too.

W4/D5 Chest + back + core

More variation later in the weeks. New exercises. Also possible to replace an exercise. I have an injury and cannot do windmills.
