30 Minute Full Body w/ Abs Finisher Workout | STF 2023 - Day 31

[@michelleilelaboye3087]

Great workout! short and sweet. Hoping to see some more isometric work like those planks. eekkk!!!😵

[@gonzaloacosta6705]

I have had these for several weeks kzbin.infoUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 and I have been really happy with them so far. I love being able to do a variety of workouts at home when I don't have time to make it to the gym. When paired with a basic bench, there are tons of different exercises and you can hit pretty much all major muscle groups. It is easy to adjust to your desired weight with the dials on each side. They slide in and out of the cradle smoothly. The only downside to this design vs the newer version, is that these are pretty wide. This does limit your range of motion with certain hand positions on certain exercises. Straight dumbbell press would be an example of this. I have to turn my hands slightly in order to bring them close enough together. Not a huge deal to me though. Really happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend.

[@kirabball1]

Nothing like a toddler driving trucks on your back during planks for some resistance training 😂 great workout!

[@EricaChoi-v3q]

I had my husband put the weight on my back for the plank which was so helpful haha!

[@manonmethot1980]

LOVE LOVE AND LOVE souch the arm workout! Thank you beautiful and amazing Sydney XOXOXO

[@chontyhunter1392]

Abs finisher kicked my butt... But she wasn't lying when she say that we continue just to see how far we can go 💪🏾

[@nightowl3891]

I'm so glad Sydney said that we could weigh down our feet during the sit-ups because I struggle to keep the weight on my chest and not swing, but this way it seemed easier and I felt better about my performance. Thank you!

[@faithvorwald8872]

Been with Syd since day 1!!! Best some of the best years of my life because of her! ❤❤❤

[@pamelareimer4886]

Sydney!! You’re the queen of encouragement. I’m finally starting to trust you. Pushing past self doubt and self sabotage today, I endured the entire plank finisher with weights! Words can’t express my deepest gratitude for your consistent message. I am worthy! We ALL are! Thank you.

[@amyward6724]

I would NOT have made it through that last plank without resting without the pep talk!! Im on vacation and used a cooler for chest press, did body weight for some, some bands for other stuff, and my 65 lb child for the planks. HA! Get it y'all!!

[@stephaniejohnson4648]

Whoooo!!! Let's start the week right!!!!!!!!!🤪😝🤪😝🤪🤪😝😝😝

[@kajalchouhan3611]

Didn't loosen up in any exercise.. did everything ...proud of myself only because of you Sydney❤❤

[@lissettesoto3974]

Core circuit BURNER!!! Can’t believe I was able to do the bicycles with my legs floating through all 3 rounds! CRUSHED IT in honor of Sydney’s brother today!🕊️

[@lindseymccue2686]

Crushed it!! Went to 20 pounds for weighted planks. I didn't think I could last I did!! 🎉 really listened and absorbed what you said in your Instagram post yesterday!! Needed to hear that the last couple of weeks have been going hard working out but being a little less in the nutrition part. Today is a new day and a new goal to stay focused and remember why I started 2 years ago I didn't do all is this for nothing! I did it to be happy, healthy and strong. There are bumps in the road but I will be driving over that bump and get through it! Thx Sydney . Once again you get to me to STAY GROUNDED

[@delight743]

I am stronger than I give myself credit for 🎉

[@marinarubio3483]

Went up on weight on lateral raises, hip thrusts and chest press!! I can do it!

[@melissagarrison4282]

Weighted planks for a finisher?? Ummm sure please! 😂😂 actually I surprised myself on that one today. Only had to take one break on the second set (for like 5 seconds!!) anyone else love that Sydney let’s us see if she struggles? Makes me feel better, shows me that she is not a machine, she’s human!! 😂😂 happy Tuesday!

[@RolisaFit]

Useful exercises, combined with a reasonable diet, you will have a balanced physique 😍😍😍

[@Truespiritwarriorgoddess]

I didn’t think I could do it but I did

[@francesroth9729]

Awesome Workout! Crushed the Plank!

[@annacorl3227]

Did not think I was going to make it through that last plank, but here I am!!! I did it!!

[@joycehart8043]

Whew! Great workout 💪🏾 I pushed myself by lifting 10 pounds for lateral shoulder raises 😮😊

[@837romans]

Whew!! The last plank was the toughest. I told myself don’t drop it. I made it. 🎉

[@katherinedirienzo3835]

Wow! I’m impressing myself! I have severe back and neck issues (3 level fusion in my neck and 3 degenerative discs thoracic and lumbar) but have been cleared to workout! Planks have always been my nemesis! Today 1st set - small pause. 2nd set NO pause! 3rd set - 8# dumbbell at my back NO break! Shaking like a leaf but I did it!! Woot! Digging deeper and getting into the best shape of my life at 56! Thank you Sydney!

[@MsBuckworth]

Pushing myself with heavier weights for the first time in ages...and I can do it. Great workout.

[@amysaager6910]

Added a glute band with the bridges 🔥

[@MichelleKline-po6hx]

got to my highest weight today, up to 25 pounds. Gonna have to look into getting 30 's and 40's :) happy Monday ya' all! whoop whoop

[@moniquevelez9516]

Another phenomenal Monday!! Loved the upper and lower body circuits today. Pushed hard in the abs at the end. Working towards getting my weighted planks back. Struggled today but I'm growing! 💯🙌🏼💪🏽🔥🥵🥵🥵

[@candaceshaffer3114]

While planks are a challenge, mine are getting so much stronger! I did that plank circuit with 15lbs on my back without dropping!!!

[@toniann92]

Lifting heavier than a few months ago. Proud. Thank you syd. Weighted planks. Wooooooo 💃🔥

[@tanyamichaelson5331]

I can't believe I did it. Her coaching is unlike any other trainer. Sydney cues me, us, at the exact moment I feel I can't do it and then she supports me to push passed my limits. I am SO proud of myself that I did not end the planks early and go on my knees. I am SO pumped!!

[@natalieallen9010]

I loved the ab challenge at the end. It was perfectly challenging. :) I didn't think i I could handle round 3 of the planks but I made it! 💪 stronger everyday

[@lindajena1949]

STF 2024 IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@sandraoconnorstaff1982]

I made it, and I went up to weights I haven't been able to use until now! Thank you for the constant reminder that I am stronger than I think I am. 💜

[@thehobbyist2022]

Day 31 done !! Wow !! 🎉 i did it !! I was feeling terrible today emotionally and thought i just didn't have in me but a tiny noise in my head kept saying that i can do it, if i start I can do it... i didn't workout in the morning like I usually do but in the evening, i did get myself set up and I finished it !! I am so proud of myself. Abs were hard for me, i kept getting terrible cramps but i did it !! Look for me on day 65 !!

[@marilynmiller8670]

Sydney, you asked about the core work today? I LOVED it! The bicycle move was my favorite. I now am able to do the weighted planks as well.😊 Happy Monday.

[@NityaVink]

Fantastic as always! The planks woman! I'm dead! lol. Added in 3 reps of calf raises as the end. My pesky calves are difficult to make pop, working on them on the side. :) Appreciate all you offer us. I did drop 1 knee for 3 seconds on that last plank, full disclosure but I didn't drop fully. So I'm happy. Progress = happiness. Thank you!

[@sueellenbeek1064]

Good Morning All! I love lifting heavy again! ❤❤

[@cc6702]

I'm 8 months pregnant, so turned the ab rounds into a standing cardio + plank series. Thank you Sydney for helping me stay healthy, happy, and strong through this pregnancy!!

[@jennycuffman289]

I've surprised myself by getting out of my comfort zone of using nothing heavier than my 20 lb dumbbells. I'm stronger than I thought both physically and mentally thanks to you Sydney!

[@patriciagioia5689]

Great Monday full body workout. Thank you hope everyone crushed this .

[@kathleenflaherty1353]

Thank you Sydney! A great workout, but also exactly what I needed to hear today. Keep moving forward! Don't get bogged down in the negative. We are stronger than we think we are.

[@carlytmo]

I had a back injury 2 years ago and have struggled with a lot of fear of pushing myself too much in a workout that could aggravate it again. That held me back a lot. I’ve overcome most of it but planks on my toes were always a big fear, even though before my injury I was doing those for a minute and a half at my best. For the first time in 2 years, I just did a plank on my toes for 45 seconds. That encouragement from Sydney during it was exactly what I needed!

[@nikkij_2383]

My daughter was released from the hospital this weekend after a major hip surgery and I missed a couple days! Best believe on our off days this week I will be catching up!!! Thanks Sydney for your words of wisdom and pushing us all to keep going and challenging ourselves to never give up! Crushed this workout! I thought I couldn't do that last plank. Even though I dropped down on the second one I finished the last one with out dropping and boy was it tough! Thank you all for showing up today and working hard! We are all ROCK STARS!!!!🤩💫👍🏾💪🏾🏋🏾‍♀👊🏾💗🔥🔥🔥

[@shanadegagne4965]

Sydney is the best motivation. Really always pushes us to try the next weight up. To Ashley’s push ourselves. Every time I think I can’t possibly do more. She gives that encouraging word. I try it and 9/10 times I can do it. Best trainer around. Been 3 years with Sydney. Truly the best

[@ashleewalker4473]

I just love how Sydney continually pushes me to do more than I think I can! I finally tried using a weight for the planks (haven’t tried since last summer) and did 2 full rounds with a weight on my back! We can totally do hard things 💪🏻 hope you all crush this one and let’s gooo week 2!

[@judyrobie7198]

Congrats, Ashley! I did the SAME today! While it was only 8 lbs, it was a huge accomplishment for me too!

[@lbuttrey3]

Me too!! I always ignore her when she says to put a weight on but did it this time and what do you know I can do it!

[@emmacarroll6314]

Amazing. Me too after a hysterectomy in January. Did 1 full round. 30 seconds next round. Glad I tried

[@amyuren414]

Last time I did that. I got smashed in the back of the head. I'll definitely be proceeding with caution.

[@robie4runner]

@@amyuren414 Your comment made me laugh because that happened to me too.

[@shellygydesen6389]

Pushed myself on the rows and did the entire 3rd round with 25's!! woo hoo for me!

[@joanharris6189]

I had planned on doing at 630 but a thunderstorm woke me and I couldn't get back to sleep for ages and then slept through my alarm and woke up so tired and with a headache. I was so close to abandoning the idea all together but I squeezed this in on my break. For the first time I did weighted setups without having to move the weight off my chest on the way up. I surprised myself and my sweat was dripping sweat but I'm now so delighted I did it. You never regret a workout. Thanks Sydney 💪#feelingstrong

[@francineloudon8070]

Love that we pushed ourselves today!

[@katharinefitzgerald5010]

"Yes. I. Can!" I was nutty professor quoting the whole time

[@Sam_and_Pets_PS99_Adopt_Me]

Amazing workout and I went up in my planks Woho

[@MegaNot4u]

Feels amazing to be back! I worked out with you before and during my pregnancy. Now my doctor told me I could start working out again. I'm using less weight and modify the ab moves but I looooooove to be back with you!🤩🏋

[@melissaboyer167]

Another great workout, another great day!

[@kerryd1856]

Watched Sydneys story today, I lost my Dad five years ago unexpectedly. I've used my loss and biggest weakness to push me forward and make me stronger every single day. I admire Sydney so much for sharing this with us. ❤

[@OddOwlOut]

I didn't think Summer Time Fine would make much of a difference for me since I have been following your workouts without failure for years now but this month I'm lifting almost as much as I was before I had long covid and I didn't think that was possible! The planks are such a satisfying finisher for pushing yourself that extra minute!

[@christinastotts5915]

Good evening, Squad! I had a busy day with an eye appointment and a therapy session. I have not slept well the past couple of days. I took a nap before I did today's workout. I am proud of myself for listening to my body.

[@Cwerty08]

I really liked the dumb-bell sit up, crunch up bicycle combo! I felt strong and like my core muscles are improving. The plank challenger at the end ouchhh I tried to do the last one on my forearms and had to go back to my hands midway because I was shaking so hard. Thanks for the great work out Sydney :)

[@Sirivaax]

I’m never in a safe zone when working out with Coach Sydney!!! Her voice tells me that I can do it! I can bump it up! So I don’t even think about it. She goes up then I go up 🎉 Love & Respect

[@wynettebodily7835]

I loved the core circuit. I challenged myself and put weights in my back.

[@joeshap2003]

Thanks for the push! Did weighted planks for the first time!

[@jen_the_fitness_chick]

I refuse to let myself quit. I don't even give myself that option!! ❤

[@kristenrubino1590]

15 pound weighted plank yowza!

[@nicolegonzalez2721]

I really didn’t think I could hold those planks 🤣 thank you Sydney for helping me see how strong I really am❤❤❤

[@romundababb5460]

Wow! 8lbs on my back so proud of me 🎉🎉🎉. Thank you for pushing me❤

[@gwenjohnson]

All done

[@leticiarodriguez2288]

I did a heavier weighted plank!!! 25lb. So proud of myself!! Thank you for pushing me!!!!👍🙌 LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR WORKOUTS!!!🏋️‍♀️🤗

[@donnarocks6759]

Thank you you always push me not to drop early! Thank you

[@elitegamer5726]

Crushed day 31. Thanks again Sydney.

Looking forward to this WO this morning........roll on my lunch hour!!!!

@ WP You Got This🎉

[@lembezamcho2629]

Goodmorning, great workout. Did not think I could do the weighted bicycles. I pushen myself

[@kacholec6]

It was my first workout after over a month - I was a bit afraid I won't manage, but Lord...I've missed it so much. My body hasn't forgotten the moves and even the strength was there! Thank You for being there for us, Sydney!

[@carriescherbert8608]

I have to say when I saw you grab that 30 pound dumbbell for weighted sit-ups I thought there’s no way…and then I did it!! Thank you for always pushing us beyond what we think we’re capable of!

[@joannerice3049]

crushed it upped my weights :)

[@user-vg6pl3oo9p]

I was surprised when 25 pounds for sit ups and planks felt okay. Thanks for pushing us!

[@loreleiford700]

Something I always do to try to push myself to get through my heavier weights is to imagine I’m doing it to save/rescue my kids and their lives depend on me pushing through it. Works every time to get my mind past the “I can’t do it” mentality.

[@sylwiavaclavekphotography]

mind over matter in the last stretch of this workout. Holding the plank with the extra weight! 💥 feeling proud and strong! #CRUSHEDIT!

[@InmaVC-xi6kb]

Every day I get up and say to myself "°I can, I can", and start doing my workout. And while doing and I start fading exhausted, I look at the tv and see you suffering with me and think "it,s not easy, even for her. So keep pushing, keep doing, keep moving. You will get it". Thanks to push beside me.

[@deborahjohnson9914]

Good challenge for me, especially core. Thanks for the extra push, Sydney!

[@dellaboucher5158]

I surprised myself with heavier weights and love it. Thanks for pushing us through and also motivate us while we are holding more than we thought we could. You’re excellent and love your approach. Go strong everyone. 😊

[@tinab7856]

I wasn't sure if I would be able to do this today because of an appointment, but it worked out and I am glad I was able to fit it in! I love starting the week with a good full body workout! After listening to Sydney's Saturday live, I tried to push myself and go heavy starting in the first round and surprised myself. I realized I'm limited by my grip strength and the dumbbells that I own. That Ab finisher was tough! Definitely want to work on my weighted planks. Loving Tier 2!!

[@bw1615]

Every workout, I am always encouraged to work harder. I've been just trying to bump up and I surprised myself at how strong I am. I've taken this into my daily life and it's seriously helped.

[@kellyhorvath6462]

Loved the ab challange . Definetly pushing me out of my comfort zone

[@stephaniephan1169]

Smashed your own thinking that you can't, just do it and see the possibility. I crushed 20 lbs on ab crunchs as well as plank hold without resting between the 2nd and 3rd set. We can do great things, one at a time. Break through your pesonal best by continuing to learn and grow strong in mind and body.

[@janellecliff4806]

Last time we did weighted sit ups I was excited that I pushed up to using 18lb. Today I thought I would try to push up to my 21lb dumbbell, and was able to complete 8 reps! 😳🤩

[@almablinn9755]

I held that last plank the full 45!!

[@TiaNethery]

I can’t imagine how much stronger I am today than the first time I did this workout. I doubled up on the last two weighted planks and it was truly one of the hardest things I’ve done! These workouts have changed my life. I love my strong body (also it’s 🔥!!)!

[@hayliehicks7784]

Love your motivation every day to TRY and lift heavier!! Today I used 20lbs to do the ab stuff and it felt amazing!!! Thank you Sydney for always pushing us beyond our comfort 💪💪

[@ayanaflower]

Hello from Brasil 🇧🇷❤️🚩 6 AM here! Let's do this 💪🎉

[@kaylaanhold4289]

6am …. Amazing! How do you do it?! I’m trying to switch to early morning workouts but not sure how to get my energy going. Do you eat before you workout?!?

[@ayanaflower]

@@kaylaanhold4289 Hi 🥰 I am used to do a 10 to 15 minute yoga morning before my workout to get me in the mood. Really works for me. Love the channels Kino Yoga, Yoga With Adrienne and Yoga With Tim. (: I hope you like if you give it a try.

[@iecherrooks4091]

Whew!! Day 31 has been crushed!! Great way to start the week!!! Thank you for another awesome workout!!😊🖐🏾

[@Kamaladance1]

I did it! I really appreciate Sydney for her realness & positive vibes. I have to modify a lot due to shoulder issues, but I keep going the best I can & that feels good. Cheers to everyone here for showing up and sharing! PS - I love supersets!

[@anitathomson6163]

😊 I'm one week behind due to illness, but I just want to share that I absolutely lifted heavier than I thought I could today. I got some new 30 lb dumbbells given to me as a gift and I was able to pull those and push those!!! Boom

[@TallOakAdvisors]

Let’s get it!!!

[@kma3647]

I'll echo what Sydney was saying at the end. I only have a limited set of weights at home. Life is what it is. But slowly over the past few months, I've gotten to the point with a lot of movements where I've sort of maxed out how much extra intensity I can add with what I have. So, new weights on the way, but in the mean time, I decided to just challenge my grip and try holding two at once. No, it's not particularly safe and it's not the right technique, but I was able to get a lot more weight moving and for more reps than I thought I would today. The barrier is often in the mind rather than in the muscle. Don't be afraid to get to failure. Thanks Sydney for encouraging me to try that little extra! (commenting for the algorithm)

[@kathrinegreen1123]

Done. I increased intensity because I need to invest in heavier weights.

[@amandabrown369]

amazing workout!! I didnt think i could hold out on the last weighted plank but i did it!!! thank you!!!!

[@jessicahaag9035]

STF has been my absolute fave. increasing my weight higher than ever before and live the more intense muscle group focus.

[@sandyouellette8783]

Crushed it loved !!❤❤ I used weight for the whole abs work out woohoo!’ Didn’t think I could do it but listening to Sydney definitely helped me do it 😅😅❤❤As always thank you!

[@irenesada7019]

Challenged the weight on back for abs.

[@pchan1728]

Crushed it❤ I wasn’t sure if I was going to do this today because I did a 12km run Saturday and my legs are still recovering 😅. I haven’t done a 12k since about 7-8 years ago, maybe even 10. But I went in with the goal of finishing and I did at 1:36 33 . Since it wasn’t a leg day today, I pushed through anyways and I’m so glad that I did. Even if I didn’t, I knew that I wasn’t going to be hard on myself about missing a workout. Really loved the ab circuit. I didn’t add any extra weights each round but instead, I did slow and focused on the bicycles. They hurt but felt amazing at the same time. Great workout everyone ❤

[@KatsSpot]

Thanks for a great start to the week Sydney!!!!! I'm loving strength and hypertrophy month!!!!! 💗💗💗
