This one was fire. I didn’t think I’d make it but I did. Hurts but hurts so good. I feel like I really got a sweat worked up!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Kicked my 🍑. Legs are on 🔥. Made the following modifications to accommodate where I’m at physically and mentally. Modified Man Makers on knees w/o pushup as I’m not able to do pushups right now. Cut burpees from 12 to 6. Got it done. Day one down.

W1/D1

Good burn! I thought it would be easy but the more I upped the weights the harder it got! Definitely a favorite of mine

W1/D2

Quick workout. Killer burn! 30 minutes was just right too!

Great workout. Made a few modifications to meet myself where I’m at. Looking forward to growth and slowly getting to the point where I won’t have to modify.

I found my 💗 rate 😂 great morning jump starter

I thought this was gonna be simple. Nope! Halfway through I was hurting! But I got through it!

Holy smokes! Felt like giving up ⬆️ and pushed through it (28 minutes). Probably slower than some, but it’s not a race. It’s about completing the task without losing form.

Quick raise your heart rate workout! Added some reps towards the end to really push myself. Feeling that burn now! 🔥

Very challenging today but got it done-ish. Lots of modifications to meet myself where I’m at and also for current injury. Still sweating like crazy and out of breath.

What’s cool about these workouts is I can workout with my children at home.
This workout was a kicker but   very humbling at the same time, its teaching me to push through even on those days I don’t feel like showing up.

Sweating like crazy. Couldn’t do the run so subbed in 4 miles in my bike trainer.

W3/D1

Was pressed for time so this was the perfect workout!!

Stopped after 12 reps. Went in a little too hard too quick. Couldn’t last. Finished on the bike.

W3/D2

Skipped the step ups due to injury. Got the rest done.

I took a few days off and this one was a great one to get back into it, I really enjoyed this workout.

W3/D3

Running on minimal sleep. Beyond exhausted. Hard to finish but I liked it.

W3/D4

Had to scale down a bit so I could complete the sets. Feeling stronger.

W3/D5

Actual work out as written…great. Blah and didn’t go as planned. Having an off day.

This one was a burner but it’s been a cool process to see my endurance get a lot better.

I thought my soul was going to leave my body. Made it through. Legs on fire. LFG!!
