Nice switch up from back, chest, arms split. Haven’t felt that burnt out in a while

Supersets were great but would be nice to have bench/dumbbell sets together and machine sets together- for practical efficiency purposes whilst at a busy gym.

I didn’t sign up for the challenge, but I’m tracking my own self and keeping myself accountable. I’ve been training with Momo since 2020 and let’s say out of all programs this one has me sweating out the most, I’ve been hungry all the time in a way of I know my metabolism is on a great shape. It’s only been 3 workouts. I’m excited to see my ending results. Thanks Momo! 🫡

Arms pumping after that! First time running for 15 minutes straight in a while!

Great workout! Had to break up some supersets due to equipment being in use. I love supersets but find them challenging during January/February challenges due to an influx of gym goers.

This really helped me ❤️ Thank you for being vulnerable and relatable. Definitely appreciate the wise words and perspective.

I really appreciate you taking the time to share all of this with us. It really shows how much passion you have & how much you care about us. I’ve resonated A LOT with the struggles & solutions you’ve shared over time since I’ve joined your app when it launched. All of the things you share about spirituality & alignment is so real and it’s so nice to know I’m not alone in that. A lot of people around me it’s kinda like in one ear & out the other. Makes me feel seen that you share similar valuess. So glad you’d been regaining your health back’
