38 Min Full Body Strength Supersets + HIIT Finisher is Day 10 in Heather Robertson's HR12Week 5.0 program. Another solid total body strength workout and a great way to end my week of HR12Week 5.0.

40 Min Full Body Calisthenics & Core is Day 8 in Heather Robertson's HR12Week 5.0 program. This was an intense bodyweight strength workout.

Not super high but still, I … Continue reading 40MIN Full Body Calisthenics & Core // Day 8: HR12WEEK 5.0

This is a workout from Caroline Girvan‘s CGX app. For more info on Caroline’s App, see the CGX App page. Caroline really tears your triceps and shoulders up this week.

This is a workout from Caroline Girvan‘s CGX app. For more info on Caroline’s App, see the CGX App page. In the intro Caroline does not talk about why she gave this workout the title of "Concentric Slowing". The concentric portion of an exercise is the lifting (eccentric is the lowering). I did not notice Caroline lifting … Continue reading CGX: Intent Program Day 10: Concentric Slowing Upper Body

40 Min Full Body Strength is Day 5 in Heather Robertson's HR12Week 5.0 program. This workout was tough.

Heather looked … Continue reading 40MIN Full Body Strength // Day 5: HR12WEEK 5.0
41 Min Pilates & Core is Day 4 in Heather Robertson's HR12Week 5.0 program. I really like how Heather is including workouts like this in her program.

So I was … Continue reading 41MIN Pilates & Core // Day 4: HR12WEEK 5.0
