Core

W4/D4: Upper Body

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!
