This is a workout from Caroline Girvan‘s CGX app. For more info on Caroline’s App, see the CGX App page. Caroline gives us another tough upper body workout in the P.E. Program.

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

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

This is a workout from Caroline Girvan‘s CGX app. For more info on Caroline’s App, see the CGX App page. For such a short workout this really very fatiguing!

I even used … Continue reading CGXmas 2024 Day 7: Push Ups, Pullovers and more!
