Day 34 of EPIC | 1 Hour FULL BODY WORKOUT with Dumbbells & Bodyweight

[@hannahscott8179]

Real talk: I cried frustrated/exhausted tears during this workout. It was so difficult and my chair was too slippery for a good purchase for my feet. But when I start crying, that's when I start fighting! So for the last 20 minutes, I was constantly muttering "yes, you f*cking can, yes you f*cking can" at myself and slapping my legs really hard like a gym-bro maniac hahaha. Caroline, you are beyond epic and I never ever imagined I would develop muscles like the ones this programme is giving me! And you're teaching me so much about mental strength and endurance. Thank you so much!

I hope she comes across and reads this comment with all the amazing content, I'm sure it's hard to reply to everyone. BUT I was 210lbs post partum after my first child. I was miserable and hated looking at myself in the mirror. Fast forward a year and some change later, I am 130lbs, stronger than ever, I FEEL GOOD. A lot of my results and toning are all because of Caroline Girvan. She has no idea I don't think really how much she helps people with these workouts. STICK WITH IT. CONSISTENCY IS KEY FR THO.

Not gonna lie, I modified the hell out of this one. But I finished it!!! Was extra scared of the bulgarian lunges at the start but the inclined push ups were the one that got me! Finished this in 1.5 hours as I took extra breaks when I felt the need to. Loving these challenges everyday!!! 🤘

I'm one of the late-the-game people. This was the hardest workout I've done so far. I had to modify all the bulgarian to push-ups. with a lunch to a push-up which worked out well. I burned a lot of calories on this one! This is only day 34 for me...and I know I'm getting stronger and stronger and no longer want to go to sleep after a workout, so I look forward to gaining more and more strength through the weeks! Thanks, Caroline! These workouts are so amazing!

[@audreyb3690]

I modified and cursed my way through this one, but I did it. Definitely one of the hardest workouts yet. My new challenge: practice and learn to love bulgarian squats.

[@lindaledford3061]

I did a little of each. Had to modify a couple, yet I gave it an attempt. For some, I am stronger than I thought. This 62-year old appreciates you so very much.

[@kitty0530]

The first set of Bulgarian lunge to push up I was cursing you about the difficulty. As a trainer I know that when doing something new, the muscles and nervous system need to learn the movement pattern; therefore, the first set is always the most difficult. I did better on the second, even better on the 3rd and cruised through the rest of them with better and better form. Caroline subscribers: listen to her during her opening remarks when she says to slow down and maintain form. I only got 5 reps on each side throughout the workout, but they were good, clean reps. Don't rush and try to "beat the clock".

[@meganparr1646]

That’s always the most difficult part for me! Sometimes I have to turn my back to the video so I don’t pay so much attention to the darn clock! Thanks for this reminder

I’m definitely doing some “lighter versions” of a few moves (Bulgarian and anything pistol) but I’m DOING it all! I push thru, monitoring my body and ability. You’re teaching me what a marvellous machine my body is, better than I’ve ever been in all my 62 years. One thing I know for sure, if I was a new mom again I’d for certain put my children in dance/gymnastics classes so they would have an advantage of being “stretchy” and flexible. I believe completely I am able to learn it though. I have come to crave my morning sweat. Sweat is GOOD! All the more reason to do this first thing in the day haha. This is my THANK YOU for today, as EVERY single day of EPIC. Hope you can feel the love coming your way, Caroline. You’re GOLDEN!

After countless of Bulgarian To 1 Leg Push-Up i thought she would go easy but then she proceeded with Side Plank (Lower Leg Hang) and i was like "whaattt.. you've got to be kidding me!".. but i did it anyway. Something's wrong with me..i must have gone crazy! And when i finished the work out with the Burn-Out session i felt like a winner. It's the best feeling ever. Thanks Caroline for your epic workout!

I’ve never been able to work out at home but you have made me STOKED to do my workouts the second I wake up in the morning AND they are sailboat friendly!

Hey Caroline, Did Day 34 second time today. When I did it last time during the Epic series, I could not do Pistrol squat to chair with the weight(today I could do), Side plank (I held for 30 sec each side), and Bulgarian lunges to 1 leg push up has improved a lot. I so admire your form and endurance:). Thanks Caroline for making us stronger:)

[@s.u.n.s.h.i.n.3]

Hi, Caroline! Yesterday dad had two strokes and I don't know if he's gonna make it. He's still unconscious. At 1AM I finally went to bed and tried to sleep but with the anxiety and my heart pounding, I wasn't able. So at 3AM I got up and did this workout. For 1H you've managed to keep at a distance the awful images I have in mind with him in crisis. I thought he'll die in my arms. Thank you for helping me in your own unique way. The workout was great. I kept up with you and managed to do everything. SIDE PLANK (LOWER LEG HANG) was the most difficult exercise. I'm numb and heartbroken. I don't know what will happen...

[@Fabian-oc4lc]

I had to stop twice for 5 minutes during this one at 33 and 48 percent because I was feeling I was going to puke 🤮. I didn't have a proper "hard" chair and maybe that contributed to it because my plushy sofa improvisation made me feel unstable while having my head below my center of gravity... But I did finish the workout and now I'm proud of myself. 😊 I will not give up until I'm done with the whole program because I can feel the muscles from my upper body for the first time in my life, and now I can lift 20 kg with ease. 💪 I also have car sickness and rollercoasters are a no-go for me... What I learned from this session (and it's a good thing) is how to make me feel sick without being in a car or on a rollercoaster. I know that if I get into that state I will learn to control it sooner or later. Thank you Caroline 🤗

[@MysticDesertBreeze]

Good job getting through the workout! I just finished this a while ago. It took me 2 hours to get through because I had to keep changing weights to make my modifies difficult enough to compare to her moves and/or the extra breaks I needed to take lol.

[@mstempestous]

Can't believe I finished Day 34 of this program! When I previewed the exercises I thought I'd really be humbled. And don't get me wrong, it was brutal. In the best way! I was able to do everything (except the unassisted pistol squats, I subbed crossover squats), and I felt so strong. Instead of being humbled, I ended up pleasantly surprised at my improvements in strength and endurance. 3 years on there's a reason people keep recommending and returning to this program. It's brilliant. Ready to keep going!

[@alenaschmidt4000]

Hello Guys! My current situation is that I'm about to finish EPIC II, and since I missed 5 Workouts from EPIC I, I decided to get all of them done before Christmas. So this was one I still had to do and I was a little scared reading the comments. Since I was also on my period, I decided to go a little lighter with the weights (6kg, normally would have taken 8-10kg) and give it a try. Suprisingly, I got everything done quite well. It was still challenging, but I also had lots of fun and felt super strong, especially doing all those Staple with 3-4 Reps per Set and good form. With this I don't wanna brag, but I want to show, that following Carolines Workouts, really makes you a lot stronger. I was going to the gym before that for some years, but Carolines Program helped me to be more consistent, and brought me on a higher level, that I thought I would have never accomplished (hello diamond push ups!). So stick with her, she is literally the BEST Trainer you can get. Especially to the girls and womens: You can do it!

Caroline, I don’t know you or know what I did to you, but I’m sorry! Clearly you were taking it out on me, whatever I did, in this workout. Believe me, I cried and said the F word more than ever before, but I got it done. Hoping you give us an *EPIC* break during tomorrow’s workout. But in all seriousness, thanks. You truly do make me do what I never thought I could do. I mean, watch the preview for those Bulgarian things and tell me you didn’t doubt yourself at first glance. You rock.

[@BarbaraDerksen]

After two days off - I was drained after my job as it is physically taxing already. I was feeling worn down so this hiatus worked out good. I do rest when I need it. Today’s workout was crazy challenging for me. I certainly do all the moves that I am able to, and the ones I cannot I do I adjust to a version I AM able to achieve. For example, I broke down the Bulgarian to 1 leg into one legged squats and then pushups one leg on the chair to fill the time. I have Dupuytren's Contracture in one hand, and a bit of arthritis so I have to be protective of them... I find using some workout gloves with neoprene on the palms REALLY helps so stabilize my hands so they do not slip. Ohh and the Pistol Squat to Chair - OMGosh Caroline, that is an EPIC thing - and I’m afraid I just can hardly even think of how to get there... but I have the determination and drive and I LOOOOOOOOVE marking these things in my journal now for “goals” and when I REPEAT Epic after this I pray I have made the gains to see me accomplish these ones I struggle with now. I have never had any history of dance, or yoga or any type of interest which could give me flexibility and I can see that I need to truly work on this in order to one day maybe do all you do. I’m savouring the journey right now. Living in the NOW and grateful for what I CAN do.... Thank you, Bless you and I send you and your family so much gratitude from over here in Canada.

I realize I'm very late to the party but still wanted to share. When I first started this one I thought if I can consistently get 3 reps of the staple in on each side, I will feel accomplished and proud. I started getting 4 once I was warmed up and used to the movement thanks to doing many many many of Caroline's workout programs. However, those side planks with the lower leg hang, not so successful. This was a great one!!! Thanks Caroline!

[@bigthanos516]

for me this was definitely the hardest full body workout i have done so far within the days of epic. maybe even in general. i can't feel my legs and arms but i finished the 1 hour workout and feel good about it. make sure you take your time on the bulgarian lung to push up as my form the first time i did it was really bad because i was rushing it.

[@vidrovszki]

FINALLY!! I DID IT❕ I reached this point months ago, but I couldn't figure out how to do the staple, the most important part of this workout in my room, and also, I found it soo hard, that I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I was intimidated. So, as procrastination I did the '24 day Christmas', and the last 3 weeks of the 'EPIC Endgame' programme, and other workouts [the best type of procrastination at least hehe]. And after months, thanks to God, I did it. I actually prayed for this 😄 I feel amazing! I needed to get stronger for this.

I fully agree!

Agree.. altered my entire mood

[@Bilbi111]

For me also, I do manage to complete most workouts, sometimes I need little extra rest or few modifications. BUT this one was unproportionally difficult, I believe I followed only 40% of it, and had to cheer up myself that I am in fact progressing.

[@liakzr78]

Agreed!! ❤️‍🔥💪🏼

[@dianita2011]

Absolutely!! The hardest of them all!

[@marielleister]

Done ✅ I could do the staple only once and did bulgarians throughout instead. There's a bunch I still couldn't do but a whole lot that I could. I'm proud of myself for getting this far 😊

[@lesliecastillo6626]

Have no words. First because I'm exhausted and can't even breath out words. Second, my gosh Caroline you're super strong. A goddess 🙏🤯😊💪

[@elep.2461]

I adored this workout!! Creative, different, various, effective, challenging and FUN!!! I had to do it today, Monday, because this weekend was messed up. At 9pm last thing I felt like doing was 1 hour workout. But this was great and I feel AWESOME! Only you, Caroline, can really make me challenge myself without feeling a failure, but actually finding out I am able to do way more than I thought myself capable of! Thank you so MUCH.

[@beverlyteran3957]

Wow! Great workout but way over my abilities unfortunately. So impressed with those who can do it👍 I am grateful for all the other full body workouts to use in the library so I can just pick another great workout that is doable for my age and abilities. Thank you so much Caroline for such valuable training especially during gym closings.

[@faganfit572]

Loved every second of this Caroline. Can't believe how strong I've gotten having not stepped back into a gym since March. This certainly says a lot to the quality of your workouts. You're awesome 😊.

[@beccaacosta]

When I first started doing your workouts(which I stumbled upon before I realized you had a full epic program) I could not do 1 tricep pushup without my arms giving out. I did 7 this workout! I feel great as a mother of 5 who was very out of shape a few months ago. Thank you so much for your dedication! I had no idea how to train with weights before this either. You have helped me tremendously!

Caroline, this has been my favorite workout so far as I'm going through this Epic series! I just discovered your channel a couple months back, and I'm very thankful to you for creating such quality and motivating workout programs! As a single homeschool mom to five kids, with little time now to get to the gym, these workouts have been a perfect God-send to save my sanity and body from going to crap! :D Thanks for bring incredibly inspiring!

Brilliant session today! My second round of EPIC, and today, I did those side planks with lower left hanging without any trouble! Super happy day! Thanks, Caroline!

[@pepina_79]

Hello, Caroline! Hello everyone else! Today has been a difficult day for me ... my training is unsatisfactory and I have been training for a long time. And how did you manage ?! The Bulgarian lunges in combination with the push-ups made it more difficult for me, I managed, but I worked hard. It turns out that the position of the Bulgarian lunge itself is quite difficult for me, because I am shorter and my stride is smaller, hence my support is smaller. But I still succeeded! And I'm proud of myself! 💪💪💪 Thank you, Caroline! Have a nice weekend to you and everyone! 😘😍

i paced myself like 1.5 times slower than caroline took every deep breath before every move i made and finally the bar hit 100%. Thank you Caroline !

[@anthonycarson2541]

Fullbody Friday seems to comes round so quickly, this one is extremely intense. So the Bulgarian to the decline press is a great move but it really is exhausting in a good way. The side planks on the chair are just super tough and after all those Declines the normal DB Chest press and Tricep Press hurt. Used a combination of 10s and 12.5kg DB mostly for upper body. This is a real burner, still a little under the weather but give it my all and the calorie burn for me was around 580. Will do the Cardio session which was posted last Saturday tomorrow as thats a fab session Caroline, I have done it three times this week ..have a lovely weekend eveyone. See you Sunday 😉

[@matthewalmond4688]

Hi Anthony...sounds like you are working really hard as you always do...you are very motivational with your commitment. Yes, those side planks were a tough one weren’t they? Hope you are soon feeling completely better, have a great start to your weekend, and see you for TABATA on Sunday morning! Matthew

[@gloriawelles5534]

Yesterday’s workout torched me. Today is the first time I may not be able to do a workout. However I think that i must be doing the moves with better form because it’s not the first time I’ve done lunges, squats, RDL etc but I haven’t felt this much “effect” since the first couple of weeks. So encouraged still. Will pick up tomorrow. Thank you Caroline for the inspiration and awesome workouts. I do hope to continue seeing you here.

[@jdewitt2531]

I thought I was improving and then this workout happened and now my self confidence just plummeted to the ground.

[@pamelaadl9559]

Exactly what I was thinking of myself. I attempted but didn’t crush this one, not even close. Now I may avoid all decline push-ups, unless I have time to spare.

[@heatherlucas5530]

Today I noticed real progress! Back in June you posted a work out with those Bulgarian lunges into a push up, i’d not long started to follow you and I found those particular moves challenging (particularly on the right leg) I struggled to get upright after the push-up... so today I was concerned I’d struggle through those moves again... but no! They were completely achievable.... I actually couldn’t believe it, Really proud of myself for persevering and never missing a session. Thanks for the time and effort you’ve put in to help so many people. I love the new stronger me! Plus it’s Friday and the suns out! EPIC ❤️💪🏻☀️
