You make the hip pop ups look so easy! Pretty sure I didn’t look like that when I did them! 🙂 Hurt in a good way! I’m sure I’ll be feeling them tomorrow!
the workout was a little quicker/easier today, but still hard. I actually had a little difficutly with my right knee, but will see how it feels tomorrow. Did increase my weights and boy do my shoulders/arms feel it. Still have to say my fav is the face pull. What weight do you do when doing the face pull?
Yesterday was hard. I think I did better last time but yesterday was with increased weights and I had a terrible stomach ache. I tried to complete every set but gave up on bicep curls. Did the abs and hip pop ups though. Looking forward to today’s tabata workout. Hope there will be an improvement.
