On Caroline Girvan's Core/Abs Workouts

Image
  I can't even begin to describe how much I adore this woman. I've been working out with her since July and she's really effective. I normally do her workout series at night and then her 10 minutes core exercises in the morning. Today, I did her 3 minutes elbow plank challenge. And while my leg was shaking like crazy 2 minutes in, I'm incredibly pleased that I managed to completed it. Cos in February, I couldn't even do 30 seconds plank ya foduzie 1 minute 🫠🫠 Of course, I do accord pilates some recognition cos it's been helping me train my core but for muscle hypertrophy, it's all Caroline Girvan. I'm currently doing her Iron Series, completed day 4 yesterday. It's her 4th series I'm on having completed Beginner Epic, 2022 Advent Calendar, and the Calisthenics series. So far, I love the Iron Series. The sets are repetitive but the time goes by very quickly.  My aim is to be able to do 5 minutes plank and that's cos Cher (the singer) said he...

On Caroline Girvan's Calisthenics Series

Again, Caroline is a beast. I decided to use this as a cool down this week (since it's calisthenics) before I start a the Iron series of with weight.  I had finished the Beginner Epic and 2022 24 days Advent Calender. However, I was in for a rough ride. You see that Day 1 leg day alone, my goodness. My thighs and calves saw shege on the time under tension. Upon the workouts are without weights, I was still feeling the DOMS today (that's Friday), and I did it on Monday. The time under tension especially for isometric moves, omg. Like 2 mins of work, then just 30 seconds test. And the 2 mins are different variations of the same exercise. So you're using the same leg over and over.  Now, I just finished the day 5 HIIT. Let's just say my smart watch heart rate was on the red like 60% of the workout. In fact, anytime she braids her hair for the workout, just know you're in for a very rough ride 😩😩😩 Love her series so much. Here is the link if you want to check it out
