Program Day 28: ‘Do you agree…the most intense upper of PE so far?’ (Upper Body)
This is a workout from Caroline Girvan‘s CGX app. For more info on Caroline’s App, see the CGX App page. This was a tough upper body workout. And, for me at least, another no-fun workout.

Program Day 26: ‘The pump will be pretty insane…’ (Upper Body)
This is a workout from Caroline Girvan‘s CGX app. For more info on Caroline’s App, see the CGX App page. This week begins the Post-Exhaust half of the P.E. Program.

Program Day 27: ‘Variety in varying planes’ (Lower Body)
This is a workout from Caroline Girvan‘s CGX app. For more info on Caroline’s App, see the CGX App page. I found this workout tougher than I expected.

This is a workout from Caroline Girvan‘s CGX app. For more info on Caroline’s App, see the CGX App page. I've been on vacation for the past week and the most exercise I've done is a lot of walking.

This is a workout from Caroline Girvan‘s CGX app. For more info on Caroline’s App, see the CGX App page. Another tough upper body workout. Caroline definitely hits the arms hard in this one, especially the triceps, but shoulders get fried, too, with the finisher. The back gets some nice work and even the chest gets worked … Continue reading CGX: Intent Day 30: Preferentially the Arms (Upper Body)
This is a workout from Caroline Girvan‘s CGX app. For more info on Caroline’s App, see the CGX App page. This was a tough lower body workout! The intervals are long so it is high rep/endurance level.

This is a workout from Caroline Girvan‘s CGX app. For more info on Caroline’s App, see the CGX App page. As the title indicates, the focus of this workout is to fry your rear delt muscles.

This is a workout from Caroline Girvan‘s CGX app. For more info on Caroline’s App, see the CGX App page. This is a great upper body workout that hits everything.

However, the back, chest, triceps and … Continue reading CGX: Intent Program Day 26: “Intentionally making it challenging” Upper Body
This is a workout from Caroline Girvan‘s CGX app. For more info on Caroline’s App, see the CGX App page. This is an endurance level/high rep lower body workout. The intervals are long so lighter weights are appropriate. I am also getting over a URI so I stuck with 20 pound dumbbells for everything except the bridges. … Continue reading CGX: Intent Program Day 27: Lunges & Bridges and Abductions Lower Body
