It’s been awhile since I’ve worked out my upper body, and this was a great start! Definitely gonna be sore tomorrow!!

W1/D2 Gym Shred

Pretty hard but definitely worth it. I also added a 10 min job to start.

For some reason I could feel my core shaking for most of the exercises today... thanks for a great workout! I remember why this is one of my favourites in the program! ❤️

W1/D3 Gym Shred

Would be nice to have some shoulder stretches in the cool down since that was the area we focused on.. either than that amazing workout Michelle! ❤️💪🏼

W1/D4 Gym Shred

The ropes in the last set of exercises were so tiring! But I feel so proud of myself for completing the workout! 🥵💪🏻
Would love to see cool-down added in all workout sessions ☺️

Yoana

Didn’t have ropes but I added in some push-up variations!

Way to end the week with a BANG! To be completely honest I am struggling to type right now! Thanks Michelle for pushing me today! ❤️

W1/D5 Gym Shred

Had to cut the last super set out due to time, but man my legs are burning! (In a good way of course)

I swapped the high knees for the hip abductor machine because I did not have the motivation for that. Overall it was fabulous! My legs feel like jelly!

Olivia

More weighted or machine work outs specifically for the gym shred. I want to take full advantage of the gym (it costs money lol) instead of spending half of it doing workouts that I can do from home.

Kris

W2/D1 Gym Shred

Forgot headphones today and my backups died. So mental strength was tested today. My pull ups and grip strength need work but enjoyed the workout! Thanks Michelle ❤️💪🏼

W2/D2 Gym Shred

Pretty good. Planks were hard and didn’t do all the reps. Definitely tired.

Marley

Really sore and tired today. Had to push through. Hard workout today. Really pushed myself.

Im wondering if there was a typo for one of the sets? It said only 1 rep.

Pull ups are coming... grip strength has helped! But now it comes down to strength

W4/D2 Gym Shred

The reps were unfortunately wrong which disturbs the training a little :)
