Day 44 of EPIC | PURE GRIT Full Body Dumbbell Workout - ADVANCED COMPLEX

[@schmangschmang]

Im not sure who needs to hears this but clearly Caroline has been at this a long time and her technique is near flawless, so It's absolutely okay to take breaks as long as you keep going and don't give up. if you try to keep up with her out of ego you'll eventually hurt your self. You can rewind the video if needed, I do it all the time and my body is still showing amazing results ! These exercises are less about becoming stronger and more about who you become as you get stronger. Love and light xoxo

[@maudebenoit8553]

Well said, thank you because I am a hot friggin mess trying to ensure correct form and not hurt myself. I am slow but steady. We are all epic and with each workout we get stronger. I modify as and when I need to, I am still working hard and love this journey of self love. So great full for Caroline and this awesome community! Cheers to 2021 💪🏼👏🏻❤️

[@jessiedefranco1131]

I started to tear up at the end of this workout when I read the "you are Epic!" I'm having a really off day and when we started the 20 min complexes, I kept thinking that I wanted to quit. But I just kept going. Part of the reward of this program is the mental endurance you gain. I feel so proud today.

[@HayleysCorner]

Honestly I wanted to write another comment to let you know I actually got a bit emotional when I finished this workout. Never in a million years did I think I could achieve something like I just did with this workout. I used to be 140kg and have lost approx 60kg and still a bit overweight at 80kg but never really ENJOYED exercise until I "met" you and lifting at home. I love lifting weights/strength training but honestly I hate the gym and so never really was consistent. But here I am, just finished day 44 and I did it all with 10kg dumbbells (except the curl to press 7kg instead for form!) and really minimal rests, although not none. I'm nursing some sore knees so I replaced the lunges with more sumo squats and uneven squats, but I wasn't looking for excuses for once in my life, I was looking for solutions to get the burn anyway, and I burned a tonne of calories and my god did I get a pump on my arms and shoulders! I loved it, I even danced in the rest between the complexes, wtf! I feel so good and it feels SO GOOD to feel good. Thank you Caroline once again. Thank you so much.

[@ipekcesporyap]

Dinlemedim derken. 😮 Dinlenmeniz lazım. Kas geliştirmek çin uzun dinlenmek lazım. 30 sn yapıp 10 sn dinlen mutlaka. Set arasında 5 sn . Bütün hareketler bitince 5 sn dinlen 20 dakika bitince mutlaka dinlenmek lazım. O zaman yağ DAHA iyi yakılır. Kortizol hormonu strese girince devreye giriyor. Sürekli strers de kilo yapsr

Yesterday I was in the pet shop to buy some cat litter. It had only the 15 kg packages. Then I got one package with only one hand and put it in the counter. The saleswoman was so surprised... She asked me more than once: don't you wanna call the deliveryman to carry it for you? Nope, CG training made me strong enough for that!

I did it!! Let me tell you, I ALMOST quit after that first 20 minute complex. But I didn’t!

Thank you Caroline ❤️ Shower time! 🥵

[@Zara-nj6hi]

I've decided that my favorite part of this program are the complexes. Time flew by when I was doing these because I was sooo focused on completing 5 reps properly and then challenging myself to do them better in the next round. The selected combination of exercises made me sweat a lot, too! And then I read "last full body dumbbell workout", I felt complicated because, woah, it's a little sad that we're almost finished but then I also look forward to what's in store after Epic. Lots of love here, Caroline~

[@pamysmeuy5748]

@@Zara-nj6hi Great thanks for your encouragement... I did it ✊✊✊💪💪. My first challenge was not focus on the 20 mins time of each complex so I kept my mind to focus like you on doing each reps properly without thinking about how many times Caroline catches up with me 😜😜😂 When I get tired I took few seconds to breathe and then I am back up with the challenge of doing better. On the 2nd complex, I was focus on doing the same reps on each side... To me it's was first a mental challenge then a strength one. I am proud and feeling good to tackle the day. But so happy that tomorrow's is a rest day because EMOM is coming and I must confess it's one of my greatest challenges especially when Caroline add the upper sequence she loves so much 🥰😊😊🙃. Have a lovely day!!

I'm 59,I've been back into fitness for a year. I have favorite routines on youtube, but once a week I check out something new. Caroline's video came up after my dumbbell workout. So I thought I'll give this cute girl's workout a try. Duh.. Yes I failed. I won't even say how long I lasted. I get to feeling like I am fit and then I stumble upon this. You people are legends. I am inspired. I will be back. Though I know it will be quite a while until I can complete these.

[@matthewalmond4688]

Hi Dennis...I am 60 and have been working out with Caroline since just about when she started her channel! Once you get into it I’m sure you will love her workouts. My advice is to start off with some of her shorter workouts from her playlist...then move on to her beginners epic series...and when you’ve done that a couple of times move on to her full epic series! You simply won’t look back! Have a great day! Matthew

Oh my, this was an absolute killer!! When Caroline says "advanced," she really means it! Was crazy tired by the end of the first complex round, but when I saw the screen flash "AWESOME, hard part done!" I felt encouraged to keep going. Thank you for always pushing us further, Caroline! And this community you built has also been so positive and supportive :) So nice to read all the comments and everyone encouraging each other. There are still times when I think to myself that if someone had told me a couple of months ago that I would be able to do and finish these kinds of workouts, I would have been in total disbelief! Grateful for the progress. Let's keep persevering everyone! Progress, not perfection ♥️

Kudos to everyone who could complete this because I just could not😵!!! I did the first 20 min complex and after that I just could not do anymore. I am going to find another full body workout on Caroline’s channel and complete it tomorrow and then probably come back and do the last 20 min of the workout where she goes through each exercise only once

I couldn’t go on after the first 20 minutes either, so I ended up finishing this workout the next day. This was a brutal, brutal workout!

As I was sprawled out on the floor after this workout thinking I was broken it occurred to me it was just the opposite. We are all incredibly strong because we finished this workout and have completed 44 days of this program. Caroline is life changing. I’m not being dramatic. I mean it 💯!

[@marielaral6927]

WOW!!! I think that’s one of the hardest workouts I have done 😓 I had a busy day at work and thought I was going to give up after the first complex, but I didn’t, instead I reduced my weight. Then I carried on and thought I’d drop after the second set. But didn’t. Got back to my first weight and carried on! Oh wow! I did it! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 It was great, but sooo hard at times, I just kept dripping with sweat and Caroline kept lifting these weights as if it’s 1 kg she got 😁 So impressed, you truly are the best personal trainer I have come across! Thank you lovely lady 🌸🌸🌸

[@marileedebruyn7192]

This was insane but so so much fun! When I started this programme I was working with a set of 3kg weights and about half way through I bought a set of 5kg weights which I started incorporating into sets and sessions in very small amounts initially. I proud to say that today I managed to do all of the complexes with my 5kg set and, I only set them down once during each complex. I definitely don't keep up with Caroline, but I'm having such a blast pushing my limits and feeling so strong and competent in my body. I also enjoyed the push ups more than I thought I would - my range of motion has improved significantly during this programme. Thanks a bunch, Caroline! You are a star :) Much love from South Africa

[@nwillgress]

Oh my goodness, this sounds hard! 20 minute complexes, no wonder you are smiling at us, its going to be killer! I love how you then say, you get to rest for a minute and we can lay down and do some abs! I am goingt to need plenty of energy to get through this. So sad it's the last one, I have really enjoyed these.

But somehow I feel like I could have done more; that's probably just me being hard on myself. The push ups were hard and my left elbow was hurting. What matters is that I made it through this very HARD workout! Before EPIC, I couldn't have done it. More than anything, I'm SUPER grateful for the bits of progress I've made in terms of strength.

That great feeling at the end when you can say, “I did it!” Thank you Caroline!

[@TravelingNatural]

I'll be back in a few hours to complete this workout. But I am happy to report that I started working 2 days a week with a trainer, the same time I started EPIC. We focus on power lifting moves: squats, deadlifts, and bench press. In 7 weeks my deadlifts personal record went from 200lbs to 225lbs. I 100% know its because of my consistency with Caroline's program 😊💯. I also just realized that there are no ads on these videos. How come Caroline? You should ve rewarded for your hard work. Not sure if monetization works different for fitness channels.

[@matthewalmond4688]

Hi...brilliant that you have a training job...yes there are adverts with these videos but always at the start...not like some trainers do putting them in the workout itself! It’s important that we let the ads run and don’t skip them. As I say...great news on your job! Matthew

[@TravelingNatural]

@@matthewalmond4688 Hi, I didn't get a job as a trainer. I just workout with one for accountability and form 😊. Oh ok, I never see any ads on my end.

Done! It was tough but am so glad I haven’t dropped the dumbbells to lower weights! Challenged myself to complete the workout with 6kg each. I obviously took more breaks to get a breather! It feels awesome now that it’s done. Thank you, Caroline xx

After a two day break (called away to assist a loved one essential) I was SO so eager for today’s sweat session. I learned I CRAVE my fitness fix now, and your lovely encouragement! I was able to keep up pretty well, actually. I have a great suspicion (but will not peek till tomorrow) that tomorrow’s is a HIIT and so I’m off to enjoy the rest of my day (time with my husband, a walk and some crafting). Pouring out blessings on you and your family today.

[@Confusedbetweenfoodandfitness]

This one looks like a killer! So excited for it. 💥 Edited: i finished it and was almost able to keep up with Caroline. Almost. This was so challenging but i had so much fun. I never thought that i would be one to say that i had fun working out. Epic program has been such a positive change in my otherwise insignificant year!

Hi Caroline...I have been expecting these 20 minute complexes as you mentioned them a few weeks ago! I thought they might come up today somehow!

Hi Caroline...just finished! Actually I really enjoyed the 20 minute complexes...once I got not it I found the time went by quickly!

[@barunice]

I was dripping sweat all over the room so during the 2nd complex IT was really hard for me to find a non slipping place for push ups 😀 anyway, great workout, really challenging, especially psychicaly!

[@eldapassalacqua926]

I tried to complete this video 3 days ago and I found myself giving up after less than 3 minutes, feeling like crap after a long day at work and a high level of stress. This morning I woke up determined to finish this even if I knew it was hard and demanding. I've put on my favourite gym set, filled my bottle of water, grabbed my mat and SMASHED this! I paused in the abs part to complete them all before the timer continued to the other minute, but I did it! I'll finish the program tomorrow and I feel amazing! Can't wait for part 2. Thank you Caroline for making me overcome my limits with tough but rewarding challenges like this one. It boosted my confidence for today ahah!

[@doro607]

OMG! The second set of 20 min lasted longer for me :) Such a great workout! I'm so sweat :)))) Thank you, Caroline! You are the best!

[@mayflower6095]

I can’t believe this is the last full body dumbbell session 😞 I’ve got so much from this program, mentally & physically, it’s really kept me and so many others going through lockdown. I feel so much stronger and really can’t wait to see what else Caroline has in store for us once we all finish this! You are all EPIC! Especially you Caroline 😘

[@nellie1507]

Whew Caroline the first complex! I persevered throughout with my 10kgs(I kept eyeing my 8kgs though) and a few(ahem) rest breaks 😅. At some point during the second complex I suddenly thought to myself is this me doing all these proper pushups💃🏽. It was a great work out Caroline. Thanks so much for your workouts. They are amazing.

[@racer22]

I looked at this workout and got really nervous!! 2x20 min complexes? Then I said, don't think about it, just do it, like the 43 workouts before it. And then i did it. OMG i did it!! I finished it and am so proud of myself. Almost started crying. It also helps to just NOT look at the timer, just focus on your form and your counting and it'll be over before you know it!! You can do it too! :)

I had to google grit as I thought it was a type of food.

I want to have some of the GRIT for breakfast please😁.. I can’t wait for it. Thank you for gritting us to the max!

Matthew Almond I love learning new words! It is indeed very interesting how some words mean different things! We have that quite a lot in arabic as well! Yess! I lived in the states for a while, but despite that I didn’t get the chance to try GRITs. We stayed in the New England area. I guess grits is a southern dish. Can’t wait to start this workout.

My heart rate was up to 175 all the time! I burnt 800 Cals and I thought I was having a heart attack on separate occasions.. This reaaaaaallllllyyyyy pushed our limit. To my surprise, I didn't mind the pushups (which is usually my weakness point) but the curl to press was tough. I had to go down to7.5 kg. Anywhoooooo..
