I feel anxious for the rest of the program. Thanks.

I can't feel my legs anymore.. they're so tight uff

Negative push-ups 
Squat to side leg raise 
Single leg side to front raise
Balance lunges
Skaters

3-5 rounds 
4/2/1 tempo - 4 seconds down, 2 second hold, 1 second back to start position

-Bring yourself into a high plank position, with your feet a bit wider than hip-width apart.
-Retract your shoulders back, keeping your chin tucked and core engaged.
-Lower yourself down with a 4 second count, don’t let your elbows flare out, but don’t keep them too narrow either.
-Hold for 2 seconds at the bottom and then push into your entire hand to press yourself back up.

Negative push-ups - HB

-Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and feet parallel with your toes slightly pointing outwards. (Place a resistance band above your knees to activate your glutes).
-Bend your knees, slowly lower your hips using a 4 second count until your thighs are parallel to the floor, while keeping your back as straight as possible.
-Push through your heels, straightening the legs completely and lifting the left leg out to the side for a 2 second hold, squeezing the outer glute.
-As you step foot back into shoulder-width position, squat down again. Then stand up and do a side leg lift on the right side. Lower the leg back to the starting position. This is 1 rep. Complete 10-12 reps each side.

Squat to side leg raise - HB

-Start with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold dumbbells at your sides with palms facing you.
-Stand on one leg and raise the weights up to the sides so that your arms are parallel to the floor and the dumbbells are at shoulder level.
Hold for 2 seconds.
-On a 4 second count slowly lower them down to starting position.
-Raise the weights up in front to shoulder-level with thumbs pointing up. Return to starting position. That completes one rep. Complete 10-12 reps.

Single leg side to front raise - HB

-Place one foot back on a box or bench. You can place the top of your foot on the box or you can flex your foot and rest the ball of your foot on top. Then, if you aren’t in a wide enough stance, hop your front foot out so that you are in a nice wide stance with your back foot up on the box.
-Place your hips back and slowly lower down into a lunge position, dropping your back knee toward the ground as you bend your front knee to 90 degrees. Hold for a few seconds. (Do not touch the ground with your knee).
-Do not go forward onto your front toe and load your knee. Sit back to activate your glute work by focusing on it.
-Driving through your front heel and your back foot on the box, come back up to standing position. Repeat 10-12 reps each leg.

TIP: Beginners may want to use a lower box or do the move from the
ground as a split squat.

Balance lunges - HB

-Start in a small squat position. Jump sideways to the left, landing on your left leg. Bring your right leg behind to your left ankle, and don’t let it touch the floor.
-Reverse direction by jumping to the right with your right leg. This
completes one rep.

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

W2/D3 -HB

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 💪🏽
Be blessed my dear coach

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

W4/D4 - HB

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!

W5/D5 Cardio -HB
