Wall walk to handstand isn’t getting easier🥲 but taking the socks off helped a little.

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!

Angela

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.

Good 😊 pleasant for some alternatives for the warm up streching when no equipment

more description on what we should feel where when doing these exercises and what it’s strengthening

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!

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 ❤️
