I underestimated this one. I added some kettle bell swings and leg extensions (not many!) and had wobbly legs walking down to the change rooms afterwards. 😅

Emilia

My phone sucks and won’t let me give you 5 stars every time I try😭😭😭 GREAT WORKOUT

Cameron

There are some moves in this workout that are not beginner friendly. There’s a movement that’s made complicated for now good reason when there could just be more movements involved. This was the first workout I’ve done in the fighter series that I really didn’t like and will sub in my previous leg day routines for.

Steph

All the things I hate/love in one session! 😆🔥

Kelly Backes

Jessie Wang

I did some modifications but still love it

Anna

Short sweet the squat with the kettle bell was weird no clue if i did that right

Tyra

Hit a PR on squats today, wasn’t pretty but it happened 🥊

Those Bulgarian split squat/lunges get me every time. 💀 I both hate and love them lol.

Ashley

Perfect! Just absolutely perfect! Started the wobbles with the pistol squats

Shaking... that stability set is a killer 🥲🔥

Great workout unfortunately I couldn't do the spider curls because the benches of my gym are really high and it's uncomfortable. So I just did regular curls.
