Harder than I thought it would be! It was a great arm day full of basics I've been needing. 🤘

Ellie

Sorah

Awesome !! Super excited to keep growing and become better at it

Layonna

Hey! There is some confusion with instructions on this and some other of your exercises in Calisthenics when it comes to pull-ups/chin-ups! The text and the video do not always match so its unsure which I should trust :)

Vilma

Wow! What an awesome intro workout! I have no doubt I’ll be stronger by the end of this.

Patrice Kelly

Kelsey

Nick

As always my arms feel amazing and by amazing I mean dead

Katie

Michelle

Wow! Feeling this! Broke a sweat and out of breath!

Laurie Weiler

I’m used to doing some moderate exercise, but I’m not a workout pro either. This was hard but in a good way! I felt like this thoroughly worked out my arms/shoulders and I also felt myself using my core, which was great! 😊

1st calisthenics workout with Taylor and I’m sweating 🥵.

Denise

Much tougher than I was expecting! Loved it

Thanks Taylor. I contacted you via Instagram about the $1 discount thing but just wanted to get started. Like the format and breakdown. The app took a bit to get used to. Still figuring it out. But glad the $$ goes largely directly to you.

Stoked to improve my bodyweight exercise strength! This was a challenging and fun start.

There was a comment about it looking simple. It is but boy does it get your arms working over time. I love it.

This was awesome!! When I first looked through the exercises, they simple enough...fast forward to the end of the workout and I barely have the strength to hold up my phone to type this!! Love it!!

Riki

LOVE THIS! Was unsure if it would be enough.. I’m used to powerlifting workouts but that BEAT me 🔥🔥

Kate Fenn

The elevated inch worm was very challenging

Melanie

Include variations in case exercises are too easy or too difficult

Dividing things that can be done at home from things that can't

Marco

Workouts were good and easy for beginner. I love the built in timer. Just had a hard time navigating through the app. Like how to get to the next part of the circuit. But overall, it was good.

Phewww… can’t lift my arms anymore! Really good and tough workout ! Pushed my mentality! Thanks for this !

I didnt enjoy this one as much as yesterday. It was still great! The hamstring curls are hard to accomplish wothout sliders and finding an alternative wasn't great while at the gym. Everything else was fun and solid basics!

Total killer! After weight training for months, I am completely humbled by these body weight movements 😂💪

Amber

Jenna

W1/D2

Good workout!! Just wish there were some alternatives to the inverted row and self spotting pull ups. Also some wrist-friendly alternatives as well!

Alexandria

I am really loving your workouts! So far I am seeing more progress with your programs than any others I’ve tried on this app so far—exciting! :) I’m looking forward to see how week two goes! 😄

Hannah

Another great leg workout! My legs tire out quicker than my arms, but I’m sure this will help with that! :)

love the leg workouts, can’t complain! i want even more 😍

Allycia

Fast but very effective workout 💯👍🏻

a workout specific warm up would be great! if that’s possible on here

Brit

It was amazing 🥰but I've noticed some issues. The very first clip won't show 🙈!

Thank you💜💫!

The workouts seem so simple yet they’re so effective!

Static pull up holds - 10 reps?
Time limit instead?

Millie

W2/D3

Great! Just a heads up the last exercise - body weight squats - say 15 minutes per set, not sure if that’s on purpose lol
