Just did the week 5 leg day with my heavier weights and loved it! I really like my new set that I got. Only downside is that the plates are all smaller so there isn't the clearance under them when doing hip thrusts or starting deadlifts. I think I can maneuver using my aerobic steps to rest it on but I'm still working on it. No matter what I can go much heavier now with the barbell or the dumbbells. And it doesn't take up much space. Happy to share the info with anyone interested.

I haven't even done this one and I am already excited that Rissa is there with you for the session! 😁

My new barbell set that fits in my space and my husband only had a minor freakout about before going with me to get it. I'm excited how I will be able to up my game on some deadlifts and hip thrusts, especially when the matching dumbbell set shows up with additional plates. Shhhh....he doesn't know about that yet 😉 it was way cheaper to go this way than buying individual dumbbells at this point. I'm willing to adjust to fit in the space and save some money, and have it all for the rest of this challenge. Keep grinding everyone! 😁

They were just fatigued rather than hurting during the planks in the warmup. It could be the decreased calories this month too. Just had less pep even after eating 2 good meals prior to training. I've been doing a "dryish" January and mostly eating at home which means healthy meals, less sweets, and less snacking. Really trying to tune into intuitive eating for me. So I'm not eating if I'm not hungry, but it has definitely left me in a calorie deficit, which is good after the extended holidays. I've got some extra fluff that's ok, but I'm not that attached to it 😆

Did W2 leg day yesterday and while my quads were on fire during the session, today it's my hammies that are sore. Slowed me down some on the burpees today, besides the fact that I just felt slow and my shoulders were just not in it today (even before the AMRAPs, they were trying to tap out in the warmup 🥵, seriously 😆😬). Hope y'all's experience went or goes a little better than mine.

I love my Garmin! The heart rate tracker can still be off sometimes but I still like it for all the data and GPS info that I get.

These are all amazing 😍 I have a small bedroom on the 2nd floor so I have to be cautious with the weights and jumping. It works since it's still a dedicated space but box jumps aren't allowed...my husband is afraid I'm going to crack the ceiling below the room 😆😬

Elizabeth Vermeychuk Thanks! And love that I'm not the only one showing off giving the piggybacks 😁
