Great workout Taylor! 😄 Simple but effective, keep this up as many times a week as you say and improvements and strength will increase!

W1/D1 Phase 1: Day 1

Complex, hard hitting, to the point workouts that challenge and stretch my flexibility, endurance and strength; love every second of it!!

Holly

Great Taylor, the elevated straddle holds were the most challenging! 😄

W1/D2 Phase 1: Day 2

Awesome T! Nice touch the handstand freeholds at the end! Accidentally did against a wall 😅

W1/D3 Phase 1: Day 3

W2/D2 Phase 2: Day 2

I need still more strenght to do straddle sit hold on the floor. Maybe I should return to earlier trainings, also because I couldn' t have done 3 of these / week? Otherwise, very nice workout, I love them!

I completed 2 rounds! I'm getting stronger but I'm not quite there yet! I love the challenge. Thank you!
