…so I do it at home
This is a workout from Caroline Girvan‘s CGX app. For more info on Caroline’s App, see the CGX App page. This workout kicked my @$$! In this workout Caroline hits the quads and the glutes hard with supersets and trisets. This is definitely an endurance workout. And you get it all--step ups, bridges, hip thrusts, band work, … Continue reading CGX: Intent Program Day 35: ‘Emphasized Lengthening of the Quads’ Lower 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. It is another higher rep, endurance workout.

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 more endurance focused. The entire first half of the workout is curtsy lunges and Bulgarian lunges--actually a bit more than half! This workout … Continue reading CGX: Intent Program Day 33: ‘75% Unilateral’ Lower 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 a great upper body strength workout.

Near … Continue reading CGX: Intent Program Day 32: ‘Splitting Up Arnold Press’ 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 strength workout. It has deadstop lunges! Yuck! But so effective.

ScreenshotThis is a workout from Caroline Girvan‘s CGX app. For more info on Caroline’s App, see the CGX App page.

I do like them more … Continue reading CGX: P.E. Program Day 30: ‘Post fatigue is correct’ (Upper Body)
This is a workout from Caroline Girvan‘s CGX app. For more info on Caroline’s App, see the CGX App page. Another tough lower body workout. I definitely enjoyed this one more than Day 27.

This is a workout from Caroline Girvan‘s CGX app. For more info on Caroline’s App, see the CGX App page. This was another tough workout, but finally something more enjoyable.

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. Caroline did not appear to be having fun during this workout either. She looked like she was struggling at times, too. So … Continue reading CGX: P.E. 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. For me, it probably wasn't the best introduction. Stationary and Bulgarian lunges are NOT my favorite exercises and this workout contains a lot of them. But it … Continue reading CGX: P.E. Program Day 27: ‘Variety in varying planes’ (Lower Body)
