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!

Emily

So hard! I'm on week 1 and know this should get easier but would be nice to have modifications /some optional exercises

Anna-Peter

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
