Done ✔️ 
100 lungexSquatxlunge did them all..
last time I only managed more than 30.

It’s funny because my mind plays tricks on me, even though I know my body, mind and strength ARE changing.  There are times like last night and this morning that my mind thinks nothing is changing. 
Then I go and have a strong session & 
do 100 squat lunges 💥

Donna-Marie

Becoming more and more comfortable with leg (s) workouts… Definitely gaining more flexibility, flow of/with movements and, strength.  I would have never imagined myself here 11 weeks ago doing the damn thang 🏋🏽‍♀️ 🦵🏾🦵🏾#@fitgurlmelchanginglives

Love how yoga is incorporated. Best cool down for a workout!

I've been out of the gym for a week and this kicked my 
a**. I almost didn't make it through the walking lunges. Great workout as always 🤯

Had to drop reps on some exercise to 15 instead of 20 due to being sick but will get back up the reps again the next time 😫😅

Y'all ever sit at the edge of your bed and zone out into space?... ME halfway through the Hip Thrusts x10 set 🥴🥵

Currently laying on floor like a starfish. OMG. So good!!!!!!

W8/D5 Legs & Abs

Took the kids on spring break vacation. Restarted week 9 instead of picking up at week 11. Gotta reset the mind.

W9/D1 Legs

This was dope! My new FAV upper body day! Hoping with these new variations I can really see my biceps pop 💪

I just find these workouts a little too long by 1 exercise. Busy gyms, wasted time waiting for machines. Avg time it takes to complete the workouts is hour and half

W9/D2 Chest, Biceps & Abs

Seated Deadlifts are Harder than it looks! Pro tip: don't roll that back! 🗣😂

I don’t have a hack machine what is an alternative machine to use? I just did it with a smith machine. Any suggestions?!?!

Found that tough as it was outside of my comfort zone 😅

W9/D3 Legs

LFG! 🥵💪🏿 Lateral/ Front DB Raises were killer!

W9/D4 Back, Triceps & Shoulders

It was legs day fo sho 🦵🏼🦵🏼🦵🏼🔥🔥🔥🥵🥵🥵 lounge squat lounge 😅

Ashley

W9/D5 Legs

This was serious 🥵. I normally do my kickbacks after my warm up bc I'm already on the floor. PRO TIP: Don't be like Angel 😩😂. I built up a good muscle "pump" in my lower back and it was HARD getting through my sets of squats! Good lawd! Do your squats first!

Sasha

Lou Forsyth

W10/D1 Legs

This was a good one! I Like that we're hitting multiple targets in one session!

I did not want to walk into the gym this morning but this was so good!! It’s always a perk to see the physical gains in the mirror.
