Description: W2/D5 Push Up Challenge: Upper Body, Core & Cardio

I have zero push-up strength.. I can lift, carry, throw, punch, but not push-up. Maybe I’m doing it wrong, but I am seeing progress! Which is very plain to see considering what I just said about having zero strength. Keep at it!!

Drew

Woah, those flutter kicks are a lot harder than they look!! Especially when you're in the moment, and already in pain from the previous move, my core is usually on fire when doing those.

Nevertheless, I had a blast working out today! I  asually added a couple of pull-ups here and there, too, as an extra customized move, lol! Can't lose any progress from the pull-up program, haha!

Chloe

Yay! I finally finished week 2 (I almost frozen on my walk but I did it) 🤸‍♀️ Ready for week 3!!

Xiomara

Week 2 complete pumped up for part 3 stretched out and ready to go!!!

Jonathan

Amazing workout to finish week 2! My body definitely is getting stronger as well as my mind. Let's go!

Alejandro

Week 2!! I feel so much stronger it’s insane! Using 15lb dumbbells for the majority of my exercises this week just blows my mind! Let’s keep it going!! 👏🏻👏🏻

Jordyn

Wore a tanktop to work out so I could show off my new and ever-growing guns 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I’m finding that Fridays are the hardest days for me, but that’s all the more reason to push to the end! This one especially was challenging for me, but I’m proud to have finished week 2! ✨

This was exactly what I needed today- my poor legs were in so much pain! Still sore of course, but I feel so much more mobile now! 🌸

W1/D3 Push Up Challenge: Deep Stretching

I’m here for round two of this program, and it’s even better the second time around 👌🏼

The description says you don’t need any Equipment so I don’t have any and it wants me to be on a treadmill

Alison

W1/D4 Push Up Challenge: Lower Body, Core & Cardio

Over all it was great I can’t do a treadmill and can’t replace it

I love the mix of weights and cardio in this one! Tho I personally did some wrist stretches in between each move just to give my wrists a break! By the time I was done, my wrists don't feel strained! Love it! 💕

Getting harder than week 1? Oh boy, my body is gonna be super sore then, but it's still exciting to think how much stronger we'll be in 4 weeks 💪 let's do it!!!

Those Side Laying Tricep Extensions are much harder than they look, in my opinion! 🫣 But otherwise, today's workout was absolutely amazing! Feeling strong and accomplished, my arms truly needed some work today! 💕
