It was a killer one.
I think that's what I've said about each day for the past two weeks.

That ab circuit was ROUGH but we got it done 🥳

Woof. Today was tough but so so so good. My back is definitely the weakest. It’s fun to feel all the different muscles in my bad as I focused on form and slowly increased weight!

It was great—like I got a upper body pump and stretch at the same time.

Annamaria

This week is mobility. Get that foam roller and digggggg. It may hurt. There may be some deep breaths when you find thaaaat spot. But it's so good for you. Rolling out your muscles helps you loosen the tissues, helps relieve pain, reduce inflammation and increase your joint flexibility. It's basically a deep tissue massage you do yourself. PRO TIP - If a foam roller is out of your price range, buy a lacrosse ball.

Branching out with your programs. On the recovery from an ACL surgery last May. Was in tip top shape with your Fighter program prior to injury.  Put on 30 pounds while down. I’m an avid cyclist. Never been over 130-135. Sitting at a nice 163 now, trimming inches. Feels good. The number doesn’t matter anymore. Seeing progress. Any tips are appreciated.

I’m so excited to get started! Right program, right time. I need this!
