Day 7 Full body & Abs

moaned, groaned, and everything in between… BUT i showed up and DID the damn thing! went 💯 times harder this 2nd round 🥲🔥

I was doing it while doing my online class, didn't wanted to lose the day in the challenge

Day 8 Full body & abs

Sweat was dripping off my face! Felt so good

upon many interruptions i still CRUSHED it! i’m a sweaty mess but it was well worth it! 🥰🔥

Day 9 Lean lower body

This is one of my favorite workouts on the app! I have done it many times & it burns every time.

Gabbie

wasn’t able to give a FULL review because of babysitting ( toddler ) interruptions but i did the majority and still KILLED it! 🔥

Day 10 Upper body & abs

with every move i felt the BURN 🔥 needed this and abs definitely helped with my menstrual cramps which is a + !

After 5 days without doing workouts, it feels good to be back

Day 11 Round booty & abs

It’s not the exercises, it’s me. I just hate the HIIT days.

Nadine

the ab burn is always the best and worst part 🔥🔥🔥 crushed it today

Quick and effective upper workout. Sweating!!!

Janine

Day 13 Slim upper body & Abs

haven’t worked out in a solid WEEK because i’ve been sick ontop of a chronic health flare but i’m back 🔥 ( now time for a walk! )

Still just as challenging the second time around. Sweating!!!

Day 14 Round booty & abs

this time around tried not to use the 1 min rest in between some movements because i wanted to challenge myself extra and i’m PROUD! Reverse table top thrust into toes always kicks my 🍑 but i’m getting better @ it day by day 🤌🏻

Ashley

Day 15 Full body HIIT

proud of myself for getting through this because this absolutely demolished me i’ll be feeling it tomorrow 😂
( attempting to try a new workout schedule for my health related issues ) let’s see how this goes!

Day 16 Lean lower body

middle of the of the week + DST..🫠 one of those days where i really didn’t wanna show up for myself but i did it anyways!

Day 17 Upper body & abs

I. AM. DEAD.
( whole body is shaking! ) this time took fewer breaks and used Resistance Band level 2.
( instead of my usual level 1. 🥵 )

Day 18 Round booty & abs

good sweat and good burn post school work ( stress ) 🥵

Love these workouts! I'm finally seeing progress with my body and feel myself getting stronger everyday and my confidence is finally starting to grow after so many years of having none. 💜

Day 19 Slim upper body & Abs

another day not wanting to do it but i did it! Reverse table top thrust onto toes always kills me 😭

Day 20 Full body HIIT

long day, tired.. i usually workout in the morning/afternoon ( whenever school allows me ) today was one of those late starts so my energy went OUT the WINDOW… but i grabbed an energy drink and DID. THE. DAMN. THING.☄️💥🔥

I never thought I'd actually enjoy working out, and now I look forward to it everyday. I'm learning how to engage my muscles so much better that when I modify or don't use weights or bands, I still feel the burn! I have seen so many changes in myself and I'm finally gaining self-confidence after so many years of hating my body. Thanks for making these workouts easy enough that I feel successful but still challenging (:
