Not a fan of body weight skull crushers, difficult to figure out lol

Leanne

These upper body workouts leave me weak but feeling powerful 💪

Yizelle

An option to have voice over to talk through each exercise would be great! I get it's not necessary everytime, but it would be nice to have the option to toggle that on so you can follow along the reps!

W1/D1 Core & Upper body strength

a lot of the movements were awkward and hard to learn. Probably not the best choice of exercises for the 2nd day of a program. Very demoralising to continue the program now

Great workout!! The first set of each workout was the hardest, but actually got a little each time, afterwards! <3

Ari Wofford

I loved it. A few observations 
- I don’t understand the music , it’s repetitive and only one video has it
- the instructions could be more precise and detailed.

Prone hold: the description is different from the video. Should I just hold then lower to ground or should I follow the description and inchworm back to starting position? Thank you!

W2/D1 Core & Upper body strength

Did this workout with my 9 yr old niece who’s in gymnastics/cheer! Great workout for both of us, she even does some of these exercises in her class too(: 💪🏼 🧘🏼‍♀️

Sheri

Alternatives with no equipment would be perfect 👍🏼

Jessy

I had to modify the v-ups. I can’t do those with straight legs yet. I pull my knees in parallel with the floor instead. The warmups seem like a lot and the cooldown seems too quick. I’m already noticing my donkey kicks are better.

Lyric

Killer workout! Loved it. The wall handstands were so fun/horrible. I had to modify the plank push-ups and had my hands on a chair. I had never done log rolls, I really liked those. I thank you for those cshaped tspine stretches they felt amazing.

It was really hard this one but sooo good🤌🏽

W3/D1 Core & Upper body strength

Kylee

I had to modify those planche push-ups but I am feeling stronger. I think I’ll get my handstand by the end of this! Not bad for someone about to hit 40 in 2 weeks!

So good! The progression is great and I can feel every week stronger! Thanks

W3/D2 Core & Weight shift

Almost completed the core drill with no stops! We're in here!

Chris

I’m starting to see my handstand come together.

W3/D3 Core & Beginning inversion drills

I had to modify my modified plank push-ups. Those are so hard. And the hand stand wall walks I thought were the hardest things to do until I got to the pike push-ups. Enjoyed it!

Awesome still struggling in the log rolls but I know practice makes perfect!💯👍🏻😊

Yasss!!!! Got all the reps in today, but those p-tucks are so hard!!!!!! Getting stronger, thank you ❤️
