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.

37 Min Quads & Calves Strength & Sprint is Day 24 in Heather Robertson‘s HR12Week 5.0 program. This was a leg burner that gets pretty metabolic at times.

40 Min Chest & Back Strength + Sprint is Day 22 in Heather Robertson‘s HR12Week 5.0 program. This is a great upper body workout that really highlights strength imbalances.
