I’m just now realizing that I have several workouts on her that I deemed my favorite 😂 
This is one of them!

I think the upper body day is my fave. This one made me feel like a tank!!! You wanna feel that rush of energy and accomplishment, then what are you waiting for?!! You got this!!!

Week 4 finally done! Not much to day this time, just super excited to start the last week of the challenge 💪

Xiomara

Doing a night time workout is a whole different experience, but this was so gratifying! And that wraps up week 4!!

W1/D1 Push Up Challenge: Upper Body, Core & Cardio

So intense I hope I’m not sore from my races tomorrow.

Owen

W1/D2 Push Up Challenge: Lower Body, Core & Cardio

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! 🌸

Chloe

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! 💕

W1/D5 Push Up Challenge: Upper Body, Core & Cardio

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!!!

W2/D1 Push Up Challenge - Week 2 Intro

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! 💕
