Challenge Intro - Starts Mon July 18th!!

FAQ: Are there modifications/alternatives for each exercise?

FAQ: Can I add in another workout throughout the week?

If I do two home workouts and two gym workouts do I have to acknowledge complete on both for the specific day so it show the progress on both to show 100 perfect complete in the end?

Great!!! I’ve got a plan❤️ I’m a day after everyone else, but otherwise right on time!

Thank you Sami! Workouts haven’t been perfect but your programs have been the only ones I’m able to get through without pain.  This weekend I had the joy of being with my 2 month old niece, my almost 2 year old nephew and 7 year old niece. And although the following two days I was in pain from carrying and her and playing with the other two, it was so worth spending time with them ♥️♥️♥️
