Lateral push up part is still a challenge.

Kysusha

I feel like I got better with the intensity this week compared to the first one

Huyen

I’m feeling back to it. Sleeping and taking better care of my diet is having me doing it somewhat easier.

Trying to recover from sciatica issues. MRI soon. This felt good even with modifications. Thank you!

My legs aren’t super straight on windmills but it’s going well! Today actually felt easier! My push ups are still assisted with a counter top - week three is when I’m gonna try doing one rep on floor

After a break week it was wonderful to work out again

Love this workout! (but it doesn't really take 45 minutes, maybe update that)

Found the pushups with rotation getting hard by the end of the second set.

You know it’s a good workout when you’re not sure you’ll be able to peel yourself off the floor for a few hours 😂

W2/D2 HIIT, Core and upper body

Royce Fields

Back for the nth time my work has got me away from it… at least now it’s much easier than before.

Iana

W1/D1 HIIT, Core and lower body

Rough, and I had to improvise with the table- but easier than I tro to app leg day. Took me a week to recover from that one

Carol

Andrei

Great creative workout, I did an oopsie with the super set that had the triceps, delts, and biceps. I accidentally did three sets of 30 not 3 sets for 30 seconds. 😂

W1/D2 HIIT, Core and upper body

Couldn’t do it in one sitting… had to rest in the last round. But did it.

W1/D3 Full body

Love love love the lower body workout!!! 🤩😍

Annie

Tonight was a break compared to yesterday!  Doing full body a day after upper body kicked my behind.  I even accidentally left an f-bomb in a public comment by accident!  I thought I was typing in private.  Magnus, take it as a compliment that your program inspired some colorful language 😅

Mike

Great! Feeling ready for what’s to come!

W1/D4 HIIT, Core and lower body

Don’t skip any day because it will become a real challenge to continue. Great workout.

W1/D5 HIIT, Core and upper body

I felt those 15s that were missing in between rounds👌

W1/D6 Full body

Emily

Love these move, good sweat but not hard for beginners

W2/D1 HIIT, Core and lower body

Added 15 seconds to each workout to ensure that I'm getting progressive overload. It worked. Should have done it for one and two from this week

Took a couple days off after last upper body, but doggedly determined to keep on till the end and then try a new one.  👍

As a beginner, I got a lot better today. I greatly decreased my break times. Good sweat.

W2/D3 Full body

I skipped 2 days but was able to do this without breaks as a beginner. Good exercise

Tough… work again making me miss four to five days training… coming back is never easy.

Definitely something that kept me on my toes

W2/D4 HIIT, Core and lower body

Starting to feel easier.  Looking forward to amping it up in weeks 3 & 4!

W2/D5 HIIT, Core and upper body

Finished week two. I know what’s coming up next is death.

W2/D6 Full body

Damn tough. But won over it once more. One step closer to the goal.

Damn hard… wanted to give up so badly. Not today tho.

Definitely have protein shake before starting this week. I found it easier to do all the reps at one sitting instead.

W3/D1 HIIT, Core and lower body

If I hadn’t slept as much as I did this past week… if my diet wasn’t on point… I don’t think U would’ve made it.

I skipped 3 days. Definitely very rough but felt really good afterward. I would suggest to go back a few days if you skipped before going into this exercise. The hardest part is superset 1.

I don’t know how I did it… but I did it.

W3/D2 HIIT, Core and upper body

Again…. If I hadn’t slept as much as I did… eaten properly as I did… no way I would’ve finished it… I’m dead

Again… this is just so damn hard. You gotta push, push, and push until the end! I gave myself extra rest… definitely wouldn’t be able to finish without it.

Another rough day but it feels very good. It’s a bit easier if you do 1 min at a time instead of 30s each.

W3/D3 Full body

Thought it’d be easy… I was mistaken. Not dead as yesterday tho.

One more day completed. Bit easier than before!

W3/D4 HIIT, Core and lower body

Oh yeaaaaaah baby easier than before! Dead. But easier!!!

Finally getting easier. Still tough, still sweaty but closer to the goal.

Tough but I definitely feel myself improving!!

W3/D5 HIIT, Core and upper body

The only hard part is the push up. Very good sweat.

God only knows… God only knows how I still make it to the end.

W3/D6 Full body

Never easy. But we keep on going! First day after finishing the program!

Took me longer to finish… but feeling better than any of the other leg days. Improvement!

W4/D1 HIIT, Core and lower body

Finally! It was so much easier and faster this time!!!!

First time I finish this and… I’m not dead!!!!! Yeah!!!

Dead. But I’ll tell you this. I can do much, much more than when I started. It’s amazing!

W4/D2 HIIT, Core and upper body

Life happens. Nothing will stop me tho. Couldn’t do it in one super set per round. So what… did it until the end still! No giving up!

I was dead on the first round… but what can you do… keep going on… I had to split some reps but so be it… one more day done!

I can’t believe I did it… so close to impossible… how did I find the strength to keep pushing forward? I don’t know…

W4/D3 Full body

Finally it wasn’t that hard at all!! Great to see the progress!!

For the first time…. It wasn’t that hard! But never have I had so much discipline… not one day skipped in December!

Hard, not easy at all. BUT. Not as hard as the hell yesterday was.

W4/D4 HIIT, Core and lower body

Work is trying to get me away from it again… 11:23 in the night… not giving up

Unbelievable how much progress I’ve made… I used to hate side to side shuffle on a chair, getting 18-20 done and dying right after… now, I do 30 minimum!

Not even crazy ex out of control could get me off the track! One more day to go!

W4/D5 HIIT, Core and upper body

Back!! Not in the best shape. But three days away… you begin to feel it going away…

One more time done without skipping a single day. Damn, it was much harder than I ever imagined. Harder than ever before. But I did it! Don’t let your life get in the way! Focus on the goal!
