Core

W4/D1: Lower Body + Core

It was amazing, I'm just wondering why the high reps and many sets?

Mariam

Tessy

W1/D1: Lower Body & Core

Is there a reasoning for the high reps and sets?

I love seeing how much stronger I’m getting!

It was really good, didn’t manage to do the 3 x core, did only one cause super sore from yesterday

W1/D2: Upper Body

Great, but it was hard 😄
Couldn’t make V-snaps, instead hold my legs up and did crunches. 
Thank you!

Chriska

Very fun work out! 350 calories burnt 🥵

W3/D1: Lower Body & Core

Loved the sequence! The day I can do that many sets of 12 pull-ups I’ll be a happy person! 😊💪

Great workout! I’m definitely going to be feeling this one tomorrow.. and the rest of the week!

W3/D2: Upper Body

These workouts are great. Easy enough whilst doing it you can enjoy it and complete the routine. Hard enough, you will feel it a few days afterwards ❤️🔥

W3/D3: Lower Body

Another awesome workout! I consider myself to have a strong upper body and since boxing for many years look toned and strong in my arms and back and shoulders. But jeeeez! Months of neglecting my upper body and focussing on predominately legs I was reminded how weak it had become. I had to shut up my ego and opt for lighter weights. Was worth it though, I feel strong now!
