Just started this all over again and dead again! 🔥🔥

Andrea

Kate

So good. The boxing set at the end was an awesome finisher.

Tonya

Still hurt. Still doing as much as I can. Torn ligaments got me all messed up but I’m still working at it.

Tommy

Kicked my ass! But really good, leg day is rough for me to stay motivated to push through it. But it helps to be able to see your videos as to what the form should look like and being able to log everything. We love a good check list! It was a good start off! Can’t wait to see my progression throughout the weeks!

Hannah

It was a great workout can’t wait till tomorrow

Nadia

Hard but SOOOO good! This was my first day

First one of your program! 
Been doing crossfit for 3 years but got hurt 6 weeks ago so wanted to suss out normal gym life to get back into it and this was great to start off ! 

 Cheers 🤘

Katie

Seems like too much volume! I'm not a beginner and I only got through about half of this workout in an hour.

Got a wild leg pump that I’ve never achieved before 😮‍💨

First day and i’m BEAT! i’m excited lol

chenise

I won’t ever be the same after doing leg extensions this way 😳

Mads

Christina

Smashed me. My gym only has free weights so I subbed out some of the exercises for something works without machines.

Bridie

Loved the work out, but would also love to see more alternatives incase equipment isn’t available.

Amie

That was a killer! Not going to lie I usually avoided doing legs so I know I'm definitely going to be In pain the next few days 😂😂😅😅
But it was good, loved it!

Kiarna

More out of shape at the end than I thought 🥊😤

Halle

Hey! First day! Went really well. I really enjoyed the first day. I had a few private training lessons left at my gym so I am going to use those to make sure I am doing the workouts from your plan correctly.

Raquel

It was great! Got a sweat going for my first time back in the gym. Felt really good! My gym didn’t have all the equipment so i made some adjustments with different equipment.

Sabrina

extremely anxious in the gym alone. gym too busy. can’t repeat as by the time i leave a machine, someone new is on it

Lucy

It was interesting that the compound lifts (front squat, sumo squats) were placed in the middle of the workout. I’m normally used to putting them at the front end. Caused me to be unable to lift as much weight as I normally do but still very challenging! I do enjoy that change compared to my usual routine. I’m excited for the next 6 weeks to come

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Ayla

Stef

Woo that was a long workout took my 90 mins but good well rounded approach. Added jump rope since I didn’t have a punching bag. Only complaint is the supersets aren’t realistic in a busy gym. Had to mix move sup. but excited to come back

Karama

first fighter workout complete✅ limped out the gym to my car

Cassidy

Girlllllll… them back extensions with the weight 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Kat Rosario

Day 1! Just the beginning, but I am already in love!

Natalia

Killer first so. Almost 🤮 right after so deffo a good one to keep!

Ana Parra

Im fucking dead, bro. So, awesome! Thanks!

Bente

Not all gyms having boxing! I did 15 min on the treadmill at a 5% incline instead.

Ashlyn

I would appreciate an alternative to the boxing at the end. My gym does not have a punchbag.

Findus

Alex

Othilie

Great just hard for the first workout and I don’t have a bag at my gym to use.

Mills

Cole

It was the first "momo" training, was intense but good.

Funky

Starting round 2 of the fighter. Having so much more fun now that I have boxing gloves!

Rach Mast

I felt the hamstring curls more in my lower back? Am I doing something wrong

Shelby

Great workout! I usually skip leg day so tomorrow will be interesting 😳

Daisy Savage

I have done heaps of PT training in the past but just getting back into it after a break. I love how conditioning focused your workouts are.

Lucy Ward

Great workout definitely can see and understand the difference in what I was doing wrong . Look forward to the journey.

Kendra H

Jensen

Make workouts more accessible to people who don’t have a punching bag. 

For someone who is just returning to the gym, the squats for day 1 were pretty intense. I would have added tag to week 3 or 4.

Corissa

Dillon

Second time through the program and this workout kicks my butt more than any other 😅

Devin

Alright - we’re testing and retreating that strength and endurance. 

Benchmark is max plank hold, max push ups on incline *don’t rest at the top!* and max squats in one minute. 

Keep great form and exhale!

GOAL
Get that static hold for core endurance and strength #PlankMore

DETAILS
1. Feet together, butt squeezed, tuck the ribs down and flex your belly button in. 
2. Actively crunch you abs into your spine and keep the elbows below the shoulders or slightly in front. 
3. Keep it tight and focused. Think about donuts, not how bad it hurts. 

CUES
- Elbows Under Shoulders
- Feet Together
- Extend Legs

Plank

GOAL
Build up your pressing strength through proper positioning and high volume

DETAILS
1. Set hands right outside of shoulders on the dumbbell rack, couch or bench. 
2. Get in a tight plank position. No sagging your stomach or arching your lower back excessively.
2. Feet together, butt squeezed, ribs tucked and as you descend down into the push up squeeze your shoulder blades back. 
3. At the top of the rep, push away with your shoulder blades to get more movement in your serratus/scapula. 

Pro-Tip: #1 mistake is your elbow position. If your elbows track out, that's a no no. If you lose the Right Triangle in your elbow that's a no no. 

If that happens, it's because you're pressing "too high." Step closer to the bar or bench and touch the bar to below your sports bra with the elbows close to your rib cage. 

CUES
- Plank Position
- Squeeze the Shoulder Blades Back
- Right Triangle
- Bar/Bench Below Nips

Incline Push Ups

GOAL
A good squat comes from flexible ankles/hips, a strong ass, and a developed core #FoundationalShit

DETAILS

1. Feet under your hips, toes slightly turned out according to your ankle flexibility, and reach your hands forward for balance. 
2. Begin by simultaneously reaching your hips back and bending the knees.
3. As you descend, spread the Earth with your feet aka push those knees out. 
4. When the hips go just below the knees, you can stand up. If you look like a rounded goblin, you gotta stretch mo.
5. Ascend and squeeze that ass at the top of a rep for ultimate booty building.
6. Exhale on the way up

CUES

-Chest up
- Shoulder Blades Pinned
-Knees Push Out
-Weight in Heels

Air Squat

Benchmark Test

GOAL
Sculpt those hamstrings without lower back pressure, aka isolation exercise #HamTings

DETAILS
1. Tuck your pelvis into the hip pad. 
2. Point your toes like a ballerina. The weight will just feel heavier, you're welcome. If you flex your toes, you tryna lift with your calves...don't do that. 
3. Get in a full length leg stretch then curl the weight by squeezeing from your hamstrings with a controlled negative.
4. Exhale on the curl, inhale on the negative

CUES
- Slow Negative
- Stay Focused 
- Relax the Toes
- Tempo is Life

MODIFICATIONS
One legged - say bye-bye-bye to those imbalances. Add in quarter reps, pulses, and holds for the ultimate life-altering experience.

Lying Leg Curls (drop set 10+10)

GOAL
Stack that bottom, work on positioning and get steel cut glutes and hamstrings

DETAILS

2. Grab a weight plate in hand. Get a stacked position where the shoulders are back, ribs are tucked and butt is squeezed.
3. Maintain this position for as long as possible as you hinge down into a back extension.
4. Repeat and squeeze from your hamstrings and glutes to rise. 

CUES - Ribs Tucked

Leg Builder 🦵

GOAL
Switch up the type of squats you do for ultimate results #BeachBodyDotCom

GOAL
Abductors, booty, and hamstrings but make it hard 

DETAILS
1. Starting with feet wider than shoulder width, toes slightly turned out, and shins on (or close to) the bar, press your knees out while dropping your hips down to find a strong starting position.
2. Position the hands where the rough meets the smooth on the barbell.
3. Lock in your back by stiffening your spine, brace abs, and have hips slightly higher while keeping back flat.
4. Stand by driving the knees out and squeezing your butt at the top.
5. Descend by pushing the hips back and keeping the bar close to you.

CUES

We’re thickening the density of your abdominal wall for a proper 6-pack. My favorite exercise for abs, ever.

3. Squeeze your elbows around your head.

Those cleans can be rough for us big yiddie peeps, but such a good work out. Might be crawling out after those burpees not gonna lie 🤣

Emily

W1/D4 Full Body Burner 🥵

Great workout, I am using a home gym so I do look up a lot of alternatives for resistance bands and depending on how I feel it is compared to the actual machine needed I add reps or sets as needed.

Arden

Boyyyyyy I bout damn near died at those sissy squats. You did your big one with this Morgan 😘🤌🏾

Tori

Workouts are great but depend on the gym you attend having a huge amount of kit and equipment. I couldn’t do half of this session unfortunately due to lack of equipment, and the gym I go to is pretty decent. Would be great to have alternative options for each exercise using different equipment. Thanks

Kate Bouchier-Hayes
