SLOW 'N INTENSE Hamstrings & Glute Workout | EPIC III Day 23

[@vivianmendez3475]

I LOVE the music of your workouts because it gets me into a beautiful TRANCE. I can only think… Am I squeezing my butt? Are my shoulders down? Is my core engaged? And for 45 mins it is just me and my body parts. No thinking, no worrying. And that’s MENTAL HEALTH FOR ME! Thank you so much for your workouts. On top of that I am also getting muscles….that’s just HEAVEN ❤️

[@iamdevanshkalra]

RELATABLE! Caroline’s workouts have really helped me connect with myself. I’ve become more aware of my form, quality reps and a strong mind & muscle connection. Also, the growth & muscles are a part of the process, I’m loving it ⭐️ Have a fanatic workout Vivian!!

[@ana_d_73]

Hi Matthew!!! This is going to be really intense, tempo, slow & bodyweight plus the staple = very sore Thursday, but still ❤️ it. Enjoy your workout and a wonderful day !!!

[@FlossontheMill]

Morning Matthew. Your favourite workout is ready for you ☺️☺️. Glute band at the ready. Reading the synopsis this is taking glute and hamstring work to another level! 🔥🔥🔥. The staple sounds super ++++ hard! You're sure to be sore after this. Enjoy 😁👊

[@tanjagoltnik2929]

Morning, Matthew! How are you doing today? After that workout I am fantastic!! What a burn! From start to finish everything was on fire! Loved the staple, it was a killer one! Tempo work really makes you focus on the muscles you are working. I know you will absolutely adore this one, as you said no one does glute sessions like Caroline. Have a nice day and see you on friday🔥😊

[@Busyfigureskating]

I feel like I’m the only one here who doesn’t like glute days as much, as so many of you comment it’s your favorite. For me I love upper body and abs the most. Today was a real struggle getting through this one, but I embraced it as much as I could 😩 I’m learning to love leg/glute days more, but today really tested me 😅

[@kathys5030]

[@filipb.2631]

To me glutes/hamstrings workut always have an 'embrace the suck' vibe, the sorness afterwards is reward & punisiment alltogether 😉

[@littleanina1]

Same!! I don’t like glute workouts a lot either, much prefer full body or upper body👌🏻

[@dani8shawn]

My least favorite is leg day, so much huffing and puffing but I do it without complaining . Glute day is a must since I have worked in an office environment for 12 years, I can’t afford to let my glutes weaken ( no thanks rhino butt). Weak glutes mean a weak lower back and hammies so I gladly take glute day.

[@catherinethomas7476]

honestly 20% of its Caroline’s workout and 80% of it is the supportive comment community 💞idk what I’d do without them AND our coach! xx

[@onetwo_matthew]

Matthew: “Please Caroline… no more hip thrusts… the pain is too much” Caroline: “Next up is the single leg hip thrust staple 😈” Matthew: “Yes ma’am” This one looks deliciously tough! Can’t wait to actually do it (have to catch up and complete Day 22 first).

[@ilsekast6000]

[@JenniferShell]

This workout was amazing. I love them all but leg and butt days are my favorite. I used to HATE working out at home. HATE. And refused to do it. But your programs have changed all that. I do them at home, on vacay and in hotel rooms. Wherever. And I so agree with the comments about the music. It’s motivating and at the same time puts you in a trance. Also, I just want to add that it’s so nice to see you take a break during complexes or just showing the exercise is hard even for you. It’s so real and makes me really feel like your with us! Thank you Caroline :)

Second time through this one, and I think I'm finally getting the hang of thrusts. Caroline is right. The mind/muscle connection comes in stronger and stronger. I'm so happy with how this went.

I considered putting this one off til tomorrow because I am still a bit sore from Monday. Glad i went ahead anyway. Also glad this one started off with just the band before dumbbells were brought in. I loved the whole session today. Hardest? The staple!! OMG, on the third set, I was really struggling. But saw Caroline was in the same boat as me. Loved the sumos (I went heavier today, 50 lbs), loved the lunge to RDL stretch (was fun trying to balance with wobbly, completely toasted legs), and loved playing around with slows & pauses, etc. Caroline, how do you manage with only a towel to make the DB more comfortable…I am using the thickest pillow I can find in the house! Did the abs add-on too which is always a really nice way to end a tough workout especially when most of it is lying on your back! Looking forward to Friday!

Looking forward to this workout! I love love love working the glutes. Thank you Caroline! 💗

[@anthonycarson2541]

All done with 25kg heaviest I have atm... the gluteband and I will never be friends... I tolerate it as Caroline introduced me to it... still I'm doing them so dedication to the cause is key... Sumos and RDLs 🧡 ... happy Wednesday team 😉

[@fiorellamartino7240]

😂... Oh Anthony, I agree... It’s hard for me to make friends with that gang too! The Caroline 's hip trust db+band is the most painful thing there can be, in my opinion!!! I do it religiously because it' s the most effective exercise for the hlutes... But what a pain, man!

[@anthonycarson2541]

@@fiorellamartino7240 Hi Fiorella 👋 I'm so happy someone else thinks the same. Everyone seems to love that thing and Caroline makes it look easy...I used to be and upperbody junky but have grown to love my legs days but those thrusts are murder.....I do love my Sumos and RDLs.

[@fiorellamartino7240]

@@anthonycarson2541..... the hardest thing is pushing the knees out all the time with 24 kg (for me) and that band around your knees😩! The hip trust without the band is definitely easier🤷🏼‍♀️! Our Caroline always pushes us beyond our limits !!! Yessss.... I also love sumo and RDL 😍😍!!! Enjoy your active rest day!!!

[@matthewalmond4688]

Morning Anthony...I’m not sure that I was still friends with my glute band after that workout! But I do enjoy using the band...or maybe I’m deluding myself and I just enjoy it after I’ve finished!! Wasn’t that staple just killing too...even by Caroline’s standards it was hard! But I enjoyed pushing through the workout! Hope you have a great active rest day! I was thinking if a walk...but it’s so misty and drizzly that I’m going to postpone it and I’m now planning a long walk for Saturday! Hope you have a great day and see you for Friday full body workout! Matthew

[@matthewalmond4688]

@@fiorellamartino7240 Hi Fiorella...have you ever tried the hip thrusts with a longer resistance band around your feet and thighs! Caroline showed this in some of her early videos with a purple band exactly like one I have! She does it in about the Last full band workout she did...just before the start of epic 1! That really is killing...much harder than using a weight it my opinion! Have a lovely active rest day! Matthew

The tempo training allows you to feel the muscle working well and it was a great feeling! The staple, apparently simple, was a toughie 🥵 ...

Goodness we are going to feel our gluteal muscles after this workout. Caroline has set us a fabulous workout. Band work combined with tempo training will surely make the muscles work in a way we've not experienced so far ✅🔥🔥🔥😁.

@L.S Hello LS. Yes DB on top of your hips, I suggest a towel underneath for comfort. I'm sure you're hips will stay connected 👍😁, but they are going to work really hard today. Caroline's technique is superb, maybe watch the demo first then follow along with the same tempo. Remember, your weight is your weight, it doesn't matter what Caroline uses, this is your workout. I'm sure you'll have fun and be smiling at the end 👊💯👍✅. You got this for sure.

[@FlossontheMill]

@L.S Hi LS. They was one of Caroline's hard glute workouts, most people find them hard so you're not alone 😁👍. You will probably have sore hamstring, quads and glutes tomorrow or the day after😳. You're right however it was fun as well ✅👊☺️. Fabulously well done for pushing through to the end, be proud of yourself 😁💯. Tomorrow is a rest day and I think your legs will be glad of it by the sound of your comments. Have a great day tomorrow. 👋

@@MultiNoor13 Hi Evelyn. This was a super hard session. The staple was definitely well designed to make us work hard throughout and concentrate on the muscles, no rest for the glutes today.
