Description: W4/D1 HIIT, Core and lower body

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

Luís Telles

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

Huyen

Was supposed to be easier… but I guess it isn’t a good idea to do full body one day before this…

Unbelievable how much I improved after these first three weeks!! Can’t wait to be in shape again!

Willard

For the first time ever, it wasn’t that hard. Can’t believe I did hollow holds not dying at the end!! Jackknifes were much better too. But Bulgarian split squats seem hard still. Damn hard.

Today I have started to notice a difference in my body, particularly how tight my upper thighs feel!!!🥳

Emma

Howard

Those split squats are the ones I have to push hardest through. They start to burn about halfway through the set.  Feel great though!

Donnegal

Anna

Good.  Getting harder little by little as you as add more reps and sets to the exercise. Like how you mix up similar exercises.

Curt

Took an extra two days off - I’ve been exhausted but I’m forcing myself to get back in it tonight!

Marcus

This week is a little easier! Although there’s a glitch with no timer on the high knees

Olive Scott-Whilde

Starting my final week of at home sculpt!

Tough doing it the day after you get your first COVID-19 vaccine dose! 😅

Magnus

Manos Panaretakis

That was hard but pleasant for my body and for my mind!!!

Sandramm

Nice workout, but I switched 5 and 3 cause 80 sit ups after 4min of hollow hold is like a morning without coffee, not possible

Ludwig

I could maintain the hollow hold for three minutes in four rounds 😃 jackknifes for three rounds as well. I love this training so much!

Tough but I feel that Im stronger now then in the start

Annie Claésson

Kevin Ohaver

Rocco

I'm definitely gonna start incorporating hollow holds into my workouts more.

Kamie Lawrence

Great! We’ve finished the program and starting week four again! Do you plan to put up another, similar program with different exercises for home workout? Some variation would be nice! Also, suggestions on alternative warmup exercises would be welcome! Take care! //Magnus

Jesus

I had a massive lunch today and I am afraid this had a negative effect on my performance...😞

Jamal Othman

Zach

Michael Buckley

Laura

Good session! Only did 2 sets of each left it too late today. Onto tomorrow

How to prevent hip flexors from taking over all the work from the abs with the jack knives..?

Fleur

Okay, week 4. Here we go. You know the drill by now. Give it everything you have.

Beginners - increase rest between rounds and decrease the intensity 
Advanced - decrease rest time and increase the intensity (add more reps if needed)

- Bring your foot off the floor and touch and object in front of you
- Immediately repeat on opposite side 
- Increase speed as you feel comfortable

Toe touches

- Bring one knee up as high as you can
- Repeat on opposite side
- Use your arms for momentum 
- Increase speed as your feel comfortable

High knees

Warmup/HIIT

- Place your legs outside of shoulder width
- Squat pushing your hip back
- Push through your feet to come up
- Front kick one leg 
- Keep your hands on your waist

Squat to kick

- Place on foot on a chair/bench behind you
- The other should be in front of you in a lunge position
- Bring your knee down until you almost touch the floor
- Come up squeezing your glutes

Bulgarian split squat

- Start with a shoulder with stance
- Step to the side pushing your hips back bending at the knee
- Touch your foot with your opposite side

Lateral side shuffle

- Bring your shoulders, arms and legs off the floor 
- Keep your entire body engaged during the exercise

Hollow hold

- Lay on the floor holding you hands by your head
- Extend one arm and rotate to the opposite side as your come up
- Lift your opposite leg of the floor

Alternating jackknife with rotation

W4/D1 HIIT, Core and lower body

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

Iana

It was great not too difficult I could have manage- it made me sweat definitely and I could feel the burn!! Loving it !!!

Rosena Julien

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

Walesia

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

Lateral push up part is still a challenge.

Kysusha

W2/D2 HIIT, Core and upper 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

Mars

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

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!
