8:28. I did the number of lunges for each leg, so total 42, 30, 18. Hope I did that right.

Matthew Johnson

Time 8:39

I think I may have mis read the directions. As I didn’t do the rest between sets.

That looked doable on paper… but that was brutal. I loved it!

Thought this was going to be an easy day. I was wrong 🤪😂

Fun work out! Reminds me of “fight gone bad” workout

That was tough! 27:53 8# Don’t have a bench so did knee tuck crunches

Kelly Clarkson’s song, What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, came on in round 6. Very appropriate! It didn’t kill me, so it must be making me stronger!

14:32 I’m going to be feeling that tomorrow

This was a fun one! Also didn’t have a band, but I used a dumbbell. These are such a great way to start my mornings 👏🏻👏🏻

27:50…. I’m not sure how to go back and see what my previous time was in week one. I should have probably taken screenshots 😅 . Either way  it was a great workout!

Gave it everything I had. 24:32 this round. First week was 30:11. I was shocked at my improvement on this one.

Benchmark Day 2 Final! 
W4/D2

21… I can definitely tell I have more endurance than when I started!

25 rounds (I don’t have a box so I used my treadmill. It’s not very high but got the job done)

23 rounds (115 reps of each exercise) added 7 rounds to my first attempt. Moves fast, but definitely feel the burn quickly.

Benchmark Day 3 Final! 
W4/D3

8:50 this round. A little slower then the first round, but I did step ups this time in place of lunges (too hard on my knees) and I think that slowed me down. Still loved the quick workout.

Benchmark Day 4 Final! 
W4/D4

21:40… I made it to the end! Woohoo! I loved this challenge because it helped with keeping me accountable. That’s a major struggle for me. Please do more challenges! Also loved how they wernt too long. I don’t have a lot of time in the morning and it helps with the mindset to just get through it and give it my all the whole time

18:39 total. Legs are on fire! Rowed instead of run. Improved just over 2 minutes. Thanks for this great push. I have been using your workout plan (4-5 times a week) for 6 months and now in my 40s, I am more toned then I have been in years. Thanks for making consistent workouts easy and quick.
