I am still struggling with the burpees in this routine. However, I think I’m noticing muscle memory on legs already.

Hard. Very hard today. It seems like it’s pretty much always hard though lol. But i NAILED IT ! Physically it’s difficult but mentally ...it’s a huge battle. I am building a strong mindset. A strong discipline. Focused. Thank u Ruba

Walk out burpee
Reverse lunge to balance 
Assisted single leg row 
Squat to knee raise hold 
Plyo split lunges

4/2/1 tempo - 4 seconds down, 2 second hold, 1 second back to start position

-Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms by your sides.
-Bend your knees and reach forward to place your hands on the floor.
-Kick your legs straight out behind you. On a 4 second count, slowly lower your entire body down to the ground, bending at the elbows.
-Use your arms to push your body back up and hold for 2 seconds.
-Walk your arms back to your feet and jump extending your arms over
head. That completes 1 rep. Repeat 12 reps.

Walk out burpee - HB

-Stand with a hip-width stance and keep your hands on your hips.
-Take a step backward and bend your hips and knees.
-On a 4 second count, lower your body into a lunge. Once your knee is at 90 degrees, hold for 2 seconds.
-Extend upwards and bring your foot back to starting position.
Repeat 12 reps on one side before moving to the other side.

Reverse lunge to balance - HB

-Hold a dumbbell in your right hand, facing your body, and raise your right foot slightly behind you. Use your left hand to grip on a chair or wall for balance.
-Hinge forward, letting the weight hang directly under your shoulder as you lower your torso and raise your right leg until both are parallel to the floor.
-This is your starting point. Bring the dumbbell to your rib cage;
hold for 2 seconds, then on a 4 second count slowly lower back to start. That completes one rep. Complete 12 reps each side before moving to the other.

Assisted single leg row - HB

-Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, elbows bent, and arms held before chest.
-On a 4 second count, sit back with hips, until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Make sure your knees follow the direction of the toes.
-As you come up, lift up one knee as high as you can and
hold for 2-5 seconds. Slowly bring your leg down.
-Switch opposite sides with the same motion. Complete 12 reps each side.

**Tip: Breathe in when squatting, breathe out when standing up.
While standing up, feel the contraction in your glutes and quads.

Squat to knee raise hold - HB

-Step forward with one leg and lower your body to 90 degrees at both knees. Keep your weight on your heels and don’t allow your knees to cross the plane of your toes.
-Using your quadriceps, hamstrings and hip flexors, spring out of the lunge position into the air, switching the feet so that the right leg is in front and the left leg is behind you when you land.
-Lower into another lunge, switching sides when you jump to complete one rep. Land softly and maintain proper form throughout the movement.

Not sure if my posture is wrong in a few of these positions but I felt some strange discomfort and had to cut this core circuit short. I’ll have to find a different core workout.

Plank twists and leg raises are 🔥 🥵😭 lol thanks

I thought it was the easiest circuit of the week.. but 5 rounds does it make it as hard as the others. Thanks Ruba !  i nailed it ! I am so proud of my perseverance 💪🏽

I do better at full body circuits i guess. I did my 5 rounds though, but i feel discouraged when i see that i have a weak core. That’s why i do your bonus hb on day 5, to get a strong core.
All week i nailed my workouts but my body is still a big issue in the mirror today i feel tired to look like that. I am disappointed to have failed my health/appearance to this point. Anyway, it will get better one day. Thanks for the program Ruba. Be blessed

Nailed it. It’s the easiest circuit for me though. Yes i sweat but to me it still easier.

(Idk why my workout of yesterday was not marked complete i did it . Maybe i quit without swiping to complete... but yesterday i was exhausted i did only 3 rounds.)

Thank you Ruba have a nice day

The only thing that was hard for me was to figure out how to complete a circuit. At the end I figure it out though. It was a good workout I enjoyed it.

Yeah ! 5 rounds completed ✅ ! Easier than the 3 previous circuits but still sweating and feeling my muscles burning 🔥 
Thanks Ruba be blessed 🙌🏽😘

Hi Ruba and team! One exercise is missing from this day, the reverse lunge and lateral twist. There are only 4 exercises in the main circuit! The PDF home base 8 week guide includes this exercise (total of 5). I was wondering if this could be updated? Thanks for all your hard work!

Workout outline doesn't match the video workout, but it was great either way!

Brenda

Hiit was very hardcore ! I did 30 sec rest instead of 15 sec i couldn’t find my breath . I hate cardio anyway. I am going to do abs now 
Have a good day

Hi again Ruba and team! The first exercise (buttkickers) doesn’t match up with the first exercise video (jump lunges). Thanks so much for the great program!
