IRON Series 30 Min Leg Workout - Dumbbell Leg Day | 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 เม.ย. 2022
- Day 1 in The IRON Series and we begin with a complete leg day workout involving some of the main dumbbell movements to recruit as much muscle as possible within each rep.
Being able to perform a movement through its full range of movement with control should be the aim. Of course we all have slightly different ways of performing the same movement including depth, foot position or range of movement available so it is important to always tweak to suit you such as toes pointed out slightly during squat if better or lower to knees and not beyond during RDLs.
Even during this workout, you could consider it as ‘dynamic stretching’ as you are moving the joint through the range available.
And use it as practice! Every workout I do is a practice session! I am forever thinking during each rep… rather than moving the weight from A to B, think about lifting ‘with’ the muscle too. Mind muscle connection can be powerful and hopefully we will see more research coming in future relating to the potential benefits of this in hypertrophy.
If you think about a bent over row… rather than allowing yourself to draw elbows up to move the weight, actually think about the muscles in your back contracting to lift the weight. This can be applied to nearly all movement patterns. Overtime, you become even more susceptible to this coming more naturally when you lift.
Every workout I share is unedited. One take and it’s my entire workout so you will see me struggle for sure! And hopefully be able to see also the focus.
I am constantly thinking as I lift and sometimes I may be thinking about one aspect when I then notice my foot isn’t perfectly inline with thigh or I could improve my neck being inline with my spine…I am saying this to remind you the importance of focus, especially when lifting. And that we all are improving continuously!
Have fun lifting and use the next 6 weeks to improve even more!
The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 15kg each!
The timer will be on for 60 seconds per exercise with 30 seconds rest inbetween!

Ever noticed there are no ads in the middle of the workouts? This is awesome on Caroline Girvan's part 💚
although i wudnt mind .. she deserves it 🙂 and we deserve some break 😆
Omg u are right. How lucky are we?????
Yes, so given the way YT monetisation works I watch two at the start, well unless YT decides to pull out a 15 minute "ad".
I know from comments in the past that this something Caroline decided to do, so to not spoil the flow of the exercises.
Oh I couldn’t imagine a slow push up hold then suddenly an ad pop up! 😆 that would be funny! 😆
Thrilled you are joining me for the next 6 weeks Laure! I hope you enjoy the journey of becoming stronger and building! 🤩👊🏼
@@CarolineGirvan Loved this workout and was so excited when the notification came at midnight for my birthday! Day 1 was awesome and ready for the next 6 weeks! What shoes are you wearing here? Love them! And thank you!
Who else is extremely excited for this iron series? And Caroline is kicking it off with a leg day! It’s gonna burn but that’s what we’re here for right? 😍🔥
I’m excited! 😁 I have a bit longer to wait because I’m on holiday and don’t have access to dumbbells, but I’ll be cheering the rest of you on and I can still enjoy watching Caroline fight through the pain 🔥😊
Morning...what a great way to start this new series! I loved it...as always it’s the bodyweight moves that get you! That last minute of half rep squats...then the add on and the pulsed lunges at the end! What a burn! Hope you had a great workout today! Matthew
@@onetwo_matthew Morning Matthew...hope you are having a fantastic holiday! You have a great leg workout to look forward to when you get back! Hope you are having a lovely time! Matthew
Me me me but I will do it this evening 😉
I love her workouts!! I can’t wait till after I get home from work to complete this leg day!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Took longer breaks, Shifted to lower weights, few times only did body weighted exercises, however didn't give up. You can do it guys💪
That actually motivated the hell out of me thanks - cuz I always feel like I’ve done something wrong so I give up easily but that inspires me to keep goinggg - think of the bigger picture!!!
These workouts are everything! Please never take them down! As a mother of 4, I needed some guidance and these videos have changed my life! Thank you so much!
Good for you would be hard for you to have time for yourself
I’m brand new to Caroline’s workouts and I’m starting with this series; Iron. Glad to hear you got great results with her workouts, that’s encouraging to me;)
Me too!!! I depend on these!!
I just finished the six week series. And now I’m starting over. I feel like he’s workouts have made me fall in love with exercise again. Thank you so much Caroline!
This workout is so hard I call it “The Awful Workout”. By that I mean it is intense and I know I will get stronger! It’s easy to raise or lower the intensity by just changing the size of the dumbbells!
How fortunate are we to have Caroline in our lives 🥰 Really looking forward to pumping IRON with you & all the Girvanators here!! Ready for 6 weeks of hard work? I definitely am! Let’s go!!
Yes devansh!! Lets go! Im so happy and excited 🙂
Yesss! Have fun!!
Such a true comment Devansh! Very well said! What a great way to start today...looking forward to starting the workout soon! Have fun and have a great day! Matthew
100%! We haven’t even started yet and I love Iron already. Have a great workout Devansh!
@@sanamonster1 Morning Sana...yes...me too...excited to get started! Have fun! Matthew
Morning to all my lovely friends here! I know we are all so excited to start this new series...and so fantastic to have Caroline back with us! What a great lower body session today...and I just love the yellow theme and beautiful flowers! Have lots of fun everyone...see you in a little while for the Workout! Thanks you, so much Caroline!
Good morning Matthew so happy that we are all here again..thank you so much have a great leg day😉
Good morning Matthew. Congratulations for you half Marathon. 🎉🎉🎉. Have great Iron series.
Still here too! Do you ever think Caroline is just going to go back to normal in-person training and quit youtube? I was sure of it this time lol -- so glad we are all here working out together again!
Good morning Matthew, so happy to be back and we are kicking it off with leg day!! All the best for this series, let’s go ⭐️
Good morning Matthew and all Girvanators- I'm thrilled that CG is back to share her workouts with us.
I know this is a year old video, but thank you soooooo much for having this on youtube. I really appreciate what you do and how you do it. You're videos are great, i love the preview, the timers, the tips, everything. Being able to access a great program to follow means more than you know
Just started this series at 73 yrs young with a full hip and shoulder replacement. lol. Additionally, RT wrist surgery with pins. The heaviest weight I own is 12 lbs but that’s OK. I will work up and purchase heavier wits. I appreciate Carolyn sharing not to round the back because that applies to osteopenia and osteoporosis. Thank you for everyone in this community for being my icon!!
Im a beginner looking to build muscle, this iron series is amazing! ive never used weights before learning how important it was to build muscle. I went from 1.5kg to 5kg weights , so proud of myself
I'm just starting tomorrow! I'm terrified! LoL
Is this series for bulking up the body or for drying and losing fat? Is this the answer?
You want bulk up !
Oh my god. She’s back. Literally screaming with joy right now. 💪 have so much love for this lady. Changed my life!
Mine too 🥰
Hello Samantha!! I am so happy to be back with you all!! I am ready to work hard and also hopefully hit new weights! Let’s have a great 6 weeks together!! Thank you so, so much for joining me too!🤩👊🏼
Same !!!! Im thankfull for her
Same! SO happy to see another series! Thank you so much, Carolne! You are THE BEST! 🥰
Can I just say thank you for the explicit and logical approach to each aspect of every video. Incredible resource for neurodivergent peeps with the utter peace and quiet during the workout. No talking or yelling. A percentage-of-completion tracker to game-ify it. A demo preview of the next movement during current movement so there's no uncertainty. Tonal markers on completions and to mark the change of stretch in case you aren't watching closely.
I love the no talking
Same! it's so much more relaxing! Just music and workouts!
Taking on the challenge!
Me and my mom went on a 28-day plant based diet by universal diet guides and feel so much energized!
The biggest mistake people do is they go workout but they lack energy because of what they eat...
We are doing this right now! Stronger and more motivated than ever!! 😍
🙌👏
I agree 100% with you my younger friends can’t believe the energy we have. It’s crazy when you eat Plantbased
Maybe it’s just me, but I LOVE how you do your color schemes Caroline. Matching your programs, outfits and of course your flowers makes me almost as happy and training with you. Thank you so much for all you do, you’ve changed my life and I couldn’t be more grateful for all your hard work! ❤
Wait a second… are those CG dumbbells?? 🔥🔥🔥
Yep, love these colors, so satisfying 😌
You know the shoes model?
@@michelleinfalt7999 haha i said the same!
Me too I love all the details!
I am already in love with everything about this series..the yellow aesthetics - reminder of the coming of the spring season, the editing, music. Also the shorter lenghts of the workout..all the best everyone..and thank you so much Caroline..❤️❤️
Morning Manika...yes so much to look forward to here! Like you I love the yellow theme...and today’s workout is short but intense! I loved it! Hope you have a great workout and a really lovely day!
She is a true pro. No doubt about it!
I agree! I’m loving the gold. 💕
Sei la numero uno❤️
I absolutely loved this workout the music the reps the color!!!
I trying so much with so many that to be honestly, i was skeptical, but dear god only after 5 minutes i was praying to be over!! Holy sh** this is no joke, if you are looking for real workout.. this is your place!!
I love there’s no talking during exercises and so it does not stress me out! Love it!!
Loved it!! Even though I couldn’t do any of the same exercises (I’m disabled) I tried to replicate the workout with moves I can do and push hard … my legs are jello lol (I swapped in lots of hip thrusts and raises, leg lifts, wall sits, etc).
I absolutely loved every single minute of this workout!!! OMG Caroline!!! Everything was perfect. The tension, the time under tension, the music, the vibe, even the earthly colours with the table and the candle, made me think we are into a Roman arena and fighting💪😁 not with lions but with ourself😄 I think these are gonna be 6 magical weeks. Way to go!!! Happy Monday to everyone!!!
Hi Alexander...what a brilliant comment! I love the idea of a Roman arena! I loved thus workout too...straightforward exercises but hard...and the last minute of the finisher was so hard! I loved the add on too...and the last two minutes of that were even more hard! Have a lovely day! Matthew
So true! I just love the colour palette!
My first day today! I've been doing the 30 min full body for a while, moved from 4kg to 6 to 8 and now 10kg. Sweat is pouring down my face as I type. This is amazing and for me on the very obese side of weight, I'm loving it eventhough I'm dying over here 😆 😂 I'm pushing through 💪🏾 looking forward to day two! Get in!! ❤️ 🔥
Caroline, I am a 62 year old man and started the series yesterday. My 40 year old daughter recommended it to me. The legs work out about killed me... but in a great way. Thank you and I am looking forward to the rest of the series.
I am just seeing this now, 6 AM in USA Florida. I almost cried with happiness! I really do have some tears swelling in my eyes out of pure joy to see another workout series posted by Caroline! I’m taking an off week from Endgame because I finished a bit late, but so excited to get this started next week! Thank you Caroline, I purely enjoy your workouts and I’m so grateful for you!
Her lessons are very good, started following her during lock down, she is great
My legs r still shaking 4 hours later. Easy to follow - so looking forward to following this programme from my living room before I go to work. No excuses! Thank u Caroline x
Fantastic Emma!! You obviously have access to those weights that challenge you and you hopefully had a super workout! Way to go Emma!👊🏼🤩
❤❤❤❤ estava com saudade de seus treino
Girl, this workout was NO JOKE! My legs and glutes were shaking at the halfway mark! Thank you so much for this killer circuit!!
Love your workouts!! It's so different when someone isn't counting reps and talking! Thanks so much!!
Hello everyone! Wow, what a workout! Caroline, you had me at "Iron Series" 🤩😍 Absolutely loved the shorter, more intense format. Legs are burning. Can't wait for tomorrow! Let's GO!
😆 oh yessss Jen!! Let’s build muscle over the next 6 weeks! 👊🏼🤩
This is the first time I’ll follow a programme as it Is being published, so excited. Thank you for all your hard work! Let’s do this!!
SAME! I'm so excited lol
SAME :)
Hi Ankajoya...so lovely to have you training with us all and you’ll love doing this “live”. Every day you will get so much support and encouragement from this wonderful community! Hope you have so much fun! Matthew

Newbie here! This is EXACTLY what I needed but didn't know it existed until I bumped into all old friend at a 5k who not only looked AMAZE but couldn't recommend this channel enough. NO TALKING!!!!! YES!!!! I love love love being with my own thoughts! Thank you!
I have been working out all my life. I consider myself to be very tough and this is one of the hardest workouts I’ve ever done. I will definitely be back for more!
You have changed the way I view working out. I have a membership to a gym but I would much rather spend my time working out with you. I worked out on my own with a gym membership for nearly a year and saw little progress. After just 2 months with your kettlebell and ab workouts, I have lost pounds and inches and gained much more muscle definition. I appreciate you so much. At 47, I'm in the best shape of my life.
That did not disappoint, it was a classic CG workout where you can feel every muscle working, thanks so much Caroline, words can't express how happy I am that you are posting for us all again 💛💪💛
Hi Caroline! Im 61 and have been working out for many years. I have done 6 of you Iron series workouts and love every one of them! I cant wait to do more. Weight training is so important, especially when you are getting getting older. Thank you so much for your hard work and fantastic workout series!
Shelly and I get to the clinic early just to follow the Iron Series. I’m back to lifting weights after a looooong break and love it! Thank you, Caroline! 70 is the new 50!❤
I am in! The last time I've lost the beginning of the epic training, because I didn't know you, but know I have no excuses. Thank you Caroline. Xx from a Brazilian living in Portugal.
I have to say, I’ve been doing beach body workouts for 5 months now. I came across your group on Facebook and was blown away at everyone’s results. I just finished Day 1 and holy bananas my legs are like jello! I couldn’t walk up the steps to put my daughter to bed! Excited to be on this journey…and thanks for offering this for free!! Time to cancel
Beachbody lol!
I've been with BB for at least 7 years and doing just one CG workout I'm wondering why I'm paying for BB when this amazing trainer is free
CG workouts are truly a gift to us all. I’ve been with BB a year and haven’t seen results. I’ve been doing CG workouts for a few weeks and I’m already seeing results and progress! Thank you CG!
I cancelled BB. Her programs offer so many options in length, low impact. It's so much better!
Right there with you. I'm going to cancel BB today!. So far I've completed two in the Iron series and these are so effective and efficient. I was so blown away at the end of the first one I nearly cried. What a gift!
Im gonna start day 1 iron series 😊😊 so excited to get drench in my sweat😊
In summer 2022, I tried 10 kgs, but it was extremely difficult, and my knees hurt. So I dropped to 6 kgs. In 1.5 years I've made my way up, and tried 11 kgs today for the first time. Good control, knees comfy. Long breaks, and the second half of the vid is 1 dumbbell. Thank you for this feeling of strength and pride, Caroline!
This was killer, but also approachable for someone who hasn’t been active in a while and has workout anxiety! Thank you!
Love this! The moves, the music, the feeling! Here goes the next six weeks of Iron!!
Oh yessss Kimi!! This will be a great series to master those movements and also to be able to connect with the muscles working per rep! Also an opportunity to consider slight increases to your weight in some movements! 🤩👊🏼
Great video, Caroline keep posting these. Exercising can sometimes be really hard and tedious, but it always makes me feel better. Last year I had almost 2500 lbs in bodyweight. One day I just started moving more, then started running outside and then I joined gym and started doing weighted exercises and I was eating clean by following meal plan I got from Next Level Diet. Today I have 145 lbs and I am happy like I never been in my life.
Nice job
2500?😅
@@solar0wind 250 :)
@@romainauberon9870 thanks
@@judymyers1934 you actually writed 2500. you can edit, it's ok.
Thank you Caroline. I found joy workout with Dumbell in this video. I'm over 65 years old. I use 2 x 4kg. I will level up to 2 x 8kg. Your's are real. Really works. Again thank you!
Today was my first time working out with Caroline and I have to admit I struggled a little. Once I dropped down a size in weights I was fine. Hoping tomorrow is a better day
I’ve just found out about her workouts and began on Tuesday. I am only starting with 8, 10 and 12lb weights. There’s nothing wrong with building up to heavier over time!
That's just amazing and perfectly suitable for me at this time! During Ramadan, I like to have short but effective sessions :) Thank youuu Caroline, that's just so thoughtful
Hi Rime...hope Ramadan goes well for you...and hope you have a brilliant workout today! Matthew
Ramadan Mubarak ❤
Me too 👏
Same here😍
Respect to all of you working out during Ramadan💛. Just doing this after JUST a 13hr fast killed me🤦♀️
Good morning Girvantors ❤️. Hope you all had great weekend and ready for Iron series. Thanks Caroline you always comeup with something which beyond our expectations. Thanks a lot fitness angel. Have great workout Girvantors ❤️
Good morning Dhamodharan. So happy to see you all again & you're absolutely correct, Caroline is amazing. 🥰
Morning Dhamodharan...I loved this workout and I’m sure you will too! Have a great day! Matthew
@@pakhigogia8326 Hi Pakhi...so lovely to hear from you again! Have a great workout and a lovely day! Matthew
I've started my 75 Hard journey today and I decided to finally jump into Caroline's program 💪 - Day 1 ✅️❤
Same i am starting from monday
How is it going?!
@@Haruzumakii i started the epic 1 series instead bcz it requires a 45 min workout. And it is great... Great workouts and seeing good results
@@emanyasir518 good for you 💪 I just started yesterday
My legs were shaking even though I didn't use any dumbbells as I am living away from my home and I don't have any with me right now. Instead I used two water bottles of 1 litre each.
Loved the workout ❤️
Thanks Caroline 💜
Absolutely cannot wait for this iron series!!!! Caroline always gives us so much!!! We are so fortunate to have a trainer like her. I always find myself bragging about her🤣🤣 she’s worth bragging about and so much more!! Thank you Caroline!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Eia...you’ll just love today’s workout...and such true words about Caroline! Isn’t she just the most fantastic trainer you could imagine! And such a lovely person too! Have a great day!
Ahhhh I had no idea there would be a new series coming out... I legit cried tears of joy when I opened my eyes this morning and saw the video notification on my phone!! 😍 Thank you soooooo much, Caroline - working out with you has totally revitalized my relationship to fitness and to my own body 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
Very manageable routine. I love that the pace is controlled; there is no one screaming at you to go faster, do more reps. On to day 2!
It’s called Time under tension. It’s a legit way to train, controlling the weight makes it harder and it creates stimulus in the muscle. Upon rest muscle will get stronger and grow
I love reading all the comments and seeing I am not the only 60 something to be doing these. This is the 3rd Caroline Girvan series for me. I love them all. Thank you x
I am so excited about this series 🤩 it kind of counts down to my graduation in 8 weeks. Caroline is gonna make sure i look strong on my photos 🙆🏽♀️ let’s go!
Hi Evelyn...how exciting that you’ll be graduating in 8 weeks! Something to really look forward to...and as you say what a brilliant series of workouts from Caroline! Hope you have lots of fun today! Matthew
Aw fantastic Evelyn! What a great day that will be! Have fun over the next 6 weeks building that muscle! Cx
Personal story- I've been so terrified of trying out Caroline's workouts, based on others opinions, but also intrigued since more people love it. I've watched Caroline grow since Sept 2020, watched all the epics uploads happen in real time, never daring to start any of them. My mindset wasn't right at all. Last year I've worked on my mindset. I'm still overweight, less strength and energy, but with so much better mindset. Epic endgame would've been the first program I would've completed of hers (despite knowing her since 2020), had I not let my mind take over me again. I was so ashamed of myself, why did I not finish epic endgame. I just want to finish a program to feel good about myself. And now, Caroline has come up with another program, IRON. This is so perfect. 6 weeks, 30 mins is just what I needed. IRON is my fresh start. I WILL finish this one. I want to be a proud Girvanator 💕
Hello Akanksa! I am sure you will finish it! I know it's hard to be motivated everyday, especially with all the things that we have to accomplish in our lives. But it's only 30 minutes and it's a gift to ourselves. That's how I think and feel about it. Small steps every time. You will be surprised about the mental and physical strength you'll gain 💪💪💪💪
@@dreamer7198 thank you so much for taking your time out to reply. You're right. This kinda mindset is important and I'm glad I have it now. So excited for iron day 1 tomorrow 💪 let's do this
@@akshu7966 I am so happy, because you found my answer helpful!!! Wish you all the best
I hope you also feel proud of yourself for finally starting one with Epic Endgame! If finishing a program is your goal that is fine, but please also give yourself credit for the work you do even without finishing it. Good luck to you!
@@lexichantel96 that's so so nice to hear. yeah I'm kinda working on not being too perfectionist. your comment really helps. Thank you so much :)
Every workout is for toning. Its rare we see workout like this which has good weights and helps us in actually adding some good muscles :D Thanks Caroline. You are the best
Starting this program again, I did It last year with the half of the dumbells weight 💪🏼
To anyone who's reading this:
You are strong. You are beautiful. You are powerful.
Remind yourself that working out is not a punishment for what you ate, but a celebration of what your body can do!
I hope you have a fantastic day :))
Thank you for this comment. Really made me smile!!
I love having you back, dear Caroline! I'll enjoy the IRON series! Have fun everybody! 🧡
After 6 months I finally did this exactly as Caroline in the video. I am considerably heavier and male. Main problem was forearms as I never trained with weights before.
This is my 3rd time doing Iron. All her videos are exceptional, but this particular series I really increase my strength. I also find it very easy to be consistent and the workouts are (gasp) enjoyable!! Thank you!!
OMG I'm so excited for the new series. I thought Caroline has ended the series and was so sad...doing the old videos on repeat until this !!! What a surprise. I must have missed the memo or something...but so glad Caroline is back.
Hi Jing...and so lovely to have you back working out with us all too!
Aw fantastic Jing!! If you hit the notification bell you will get the notification of each Community post (usually on a Sunday) with updates and overview of what’s to come!
I hope you have an awesome 6 weeks of building that muscle! 👊🏼🤩
My notification bell has been on for over fifteen months but I don't trust it so I was checking in daily while CG was on hiatus planning IRON! Healthy addiction.
@@karena4718 Hi Karen...yes my notifications don’t always work properly either!
Caroline!!! You’ve changed my life! I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done for us girvanators!
I’m stronger and more confident than I’ve ever been in my whole life since discovering you.
I’m so so grateful.💗💗💗💗
This is my second round of the 6 weeks! I remember starting with 10 pound dumbbells and now going with 25 pounds! Thank you Caroline for making us all stronger!
Day 1. Done and dusted.
I can’t wait for this!!! I’m ready to be pumped for summer. Thanks Caroline!! Loving the neutral colors also. Very nice ❤️🏋🏾♀️
Yes...what lovely colours today...and hope you have a fantastic workout!
Hi everyone! How exciting it is to start this new series! Thank you so much Caroline! 🥰😘💪
All I can say is I am so glad I found Caroline Girvan and these workouts. Thank you so much for everything!
3rd round and stronger every round! Did my 2nd round in Southern France during the holidays and the music makes me think of that, good memories!
Caroline, I've been doing your workouts since EPIC 1! I finally bought 20lb dumbells for endgame, and I rushed out this morning to buy 30 lb dumbells to start this Iron program off right! I cant believe how strong I've become because of you.🔥❤❤❤ ps....I need those shoes!!
OMG! I was so excited seeing a notification from you CAROLINE! And even more when I saw that we have another series of 30 workouts! I love 30 minutes EFFECTIVE workouts! Although this series will have to wait for me, as I have a sur gery on Thursday, so I’ll be out for couple of months.. HOWEVER I’m looking forward to this! Thank you thank you thank you.. and to all who will follow along: you can do this! Don’t give up on yourself! And.. Good luck! 💙
I really like your style of workout videos! The helpful tips at the beginning are really worth listening to, the music pumps you up and gives you a great beat, without anyone wailing about their relationship issues, and the little preview videos in the corner get you set up well ahead of time so you can get the most out of each exercise!!
I’ll be back but next time I’m upping my weight! :)
I’ve done this playlist front to end. I am seeing results. Doing it again because the first time I didn’t take it seriously. Now I am. Thank you and God bless ❤
Helloo, guess who's late for the series again! Last 2 weeks I was full with my exams, school and work. I have prom in 6 weeks and I'M SO READY TO GET IN SHAPE! First day is done!! I'm surprised by I did so well and didn't quit since it's been 3-4 months last time I did home workout. I feel AMAZING! See u on day 2 🥰
I'm a 46 year old man who recently had a hernia surgery 5 weeks ago. Doctor has given me the "go ahead" to start resistance training again. Today is my first day. Let's do this
Done🥰🥰 j'ai tout fais sauf un seul exercice je l'ai mal fait la prochaine fois je vais me rattraper thank you coach
Just starting Iron for the second time, it's the first strength programme I've followed and it's made such a difference. Last time I started with 4kg/9lb dumbbells, this time I'm starting with 9kg/20lb
The beauty of this first Iron Series Day was its simplicity! Loved the straightforwardness of the workout. And it absolutely exhausted my legs! Thank you so much Caroline for your tireless work to help make our lives fitter! You are amazing! 💖
I'm 35 weeks pregnant! That sure was a good workout! ♥️
hope your postpartum journey is full of love and grace. Hope momma and baby are doing well.
I hope you were careful for your pelvic floor. I trained like this in my 3rd pregnancy and had major prolapse issues. People need to be made aware of this possibility!
Hi all! I worked out until 36 weeks, but ended up with preeclampsia and had to deliver at 36 weeks 4 days. But I can 100% say I workout through my entire pregnancy. We are both healthy. Postpartum has been great! I took the first 6 weeks nice and easy to focus on my pelvic floor with pelvic floor focused exercises. I am back doing Caroline's workouts now and am feeling great! I just started her FUEL workouts and they are killer! I have 5lbs til my pregnancy weight. I gained 40lbs. (Most of it was water weight). Thank you for commenting, postpartum is definitely a journey! ❤️❤️❤️
They just never stop being challenging and so focused.Thank you
I just did this workout and I have to admit I couldn’t finish it. I’m an upper body person and these lower body workouts always beat me 😭 looking forward to day 2 of this series 💪
We're the opposites, lol. I'm more of a lower body person and I totally suck at upper body 😅
Hi Caroline, just wanted to say - I’m a med student and I get very little time to work out on a normal day but this plan, especially this compact well-planned 30 minute workout literally makes my day so much easier and SO fulfilling!! Thank you and I appreciate you so much 🥰💖
Pretty Excited to Smash this workouts with y'all!! More Fun Challenges! Leg Day...Let's DO this! 😆👊
Btw..Cool series title and Photos!
Loved the slow controlled pace and focus on form and MMC. Got more challenging when Grip was getting fatigued as I used 12.5kg DBs. Brilliant finisher. 1min. Squats were Killer. Solid Leg Sesh! Great start for the week!🤩
Thanks Caroline! ❤️
Happy Monday!
Have a great workout! ❤️
Yeah Trish. It's gonna be a fun series😍

@@pakhigogia8326 Hi Pakhi! Done with today's workout. Enjoyed it. Legs feel Amazing! Have a great workout as well! 😊
Thank you for your incredible generosity and kindness in sharing your workouts with us.
always challenging and awesome workouts--even months later!
So good to have you back... now that we have tested this drug we cannot give up on it 😂 you've got us hooked!
I just started this series today and WOW! It was great! I'm 51 and menopause is killing me. I'm determined to get this 20 pounds off of me. Glad I discovered you. Thank you for your videos
Hiya! I'm similar age to you and hoping to get serious about losing 20 lbs too, along with the help of these home workouts. Im just wondering how it's going for you so far?
Keep going! I'm 52 and just finished Iron for my first time yesterday. Starting again today!
@@sbcarto Hi, did you gain any muscle mass? I am hoping to try this series and gain some toned muscle.
I’ve started this series for the third time in the past year, and absolutely LOVE the results. Can’t believe these are free. I’d pay for your workouts without giving it a second thought. Thank you for the hard work!
How do you organize your workout schedule based on this series?
@@yarahamam829 I started my weight training journey with this series and now after an year of not finding anything that gave the results quite like this did I AM BACK... what I did back then and am going to do now is to workout 5x a week and take 2 rest days..I might throw in some 10 min ab workouts too just bc i enjoy doing them...Ive heard that 5x a week is a pretty solid schedule for hypertrophy so thats what im going to do...best of luck on your journey💙💙
I am doing two of these a day. I just finished Fuel, also having done two a day, and am taking a two day break. I can't tell you how amazing I feel. Thank you for all you did for us on TH-cam.
did you do the same video 2 times in a day or moved on to next numbered video for the second ? I asked on my comment if doing these everyday is ok(perimenopausal here and 40 pounds overweight) dont't want to spike cortisol. cause most articles say to weight lift 3 days a week..... idk
She’s back!!! I can’t tell you how excited I was to see this!! You have done so much for us so and you deserve a break. But I keep checking for a new announcement !! And you have exceeded my expectations! An Iron series 💪😬wow! Thank you Caroline! I can already tell this will be amazing! Let’s go! I’m so ready for this 🥳
DONE! I'm going to do this whole series. I have been out of the game so long but this was so great! Can't wait to complete this IRON series.
how have i not found this before? its perfect for busy schedules but is comprehensive enough that i don't need to look elsewhere, and whats even better...its a full series that is long enough to really support my journey back into a steady fitness routine at home. i hate getting started and have programs that only go for a week or a month a best, then i'm back to sitting on the couch looking for another good one, or worse, repeating what i've just completed. CG gives multiple, long term programs that just flow and are crazy easy to do. summer beach, i'm coming for you...i'll see you in a few weeks time and you better prepare for my hot bod! hahaha
I did this Leg without and I had been going to the gym for about 2 weeks prior. I am late 50s, this was an awesome leg workout, I could hardly keep my breath. Caroline is a Beast !
Legs are quaking at the end of this and i'm so happy! After two weeks of beginner epic i've decided to try the iron series because i love weights! thank you Caroline! I look forward to these workouts every day!
First time working out with Caroline! And i cried so hard that my cat came to comfort me!
It was super hard, I thought im gonna give up after the lunges, kept going and then lateral lunge again killed me.. I kept going wanting to give up but i finished day 1! Im proud of myself and been awarded with jelly weak legs!
gonna keep going :)
Don't give up! You'll keep getting stronger 💪🏼
@@kate7j Thank you so much :) I keep going while walking like a pinguin!
@@rawrzx3112 hahaha I know what that feels like XD
Starting my 4th round of Iron Series; too good to stop!
Have you noticed your muscle gain doing this series?
I was shaking nonstop at those lateral lunges. I love that in your videos you have paid attention to all the little details, like the beeps at the cool down. Thank you so much Caroline!
Oh my gosh! I think this is my favorite series so far!!! I love these workouts!! They are challenging without being stressful to the body, they leave me feeling good and challenged! Great work Caroline!!!
revisiting this after finishing the iron series yesterday! excited to say that i've increased the weight without struggling much more than the first time around, definitely got so much stronger during the last 6 weeks
I have been waiting for Iron to increase my weights. I did it with 8kgs and 10kgs which is massive for me as I started at Epic with 1kgs!! Thanks forever Caroline.
Well done!
Thank you Caroline Girvan! The programs and guides included plus other tips in q and a are priceless.
Also thank you for leaving the multiple workouts up after you left the platform. Class act!
Congratulations on your app! 🙏🏾
Absolutely brilliant. I actually cried my eyes out at the end, as I was not in a good place but these classes kept me going. I love you. God bless you ❤️🙏
Excited as everyone else about this new series! It’s just perfect! I will be modifing as I am pregnant, but will keep with it to the end of my pregnancy as I have 6 weeks left. Thank you, Caroline!
Wow you are a beast!!!
Here I go again for a second round of the IRON SERIES! Brilliant start! Thanks, Caroline!
I have literally exercised along hundreds of TH-cam videos. This series remains to be one of my favorites!
