Caroline- I recently tried a Cross Fit class near me. The instructor was impressed by how well I did on my first try and wanted to know what gym I came from. He was surprised when I told him I work out at home....all credit goes to you. On my own, I take it easy. You push me harder than I ever thought possible. I don't love it going through it, but I love the fitness results. Thank you for building this community. You're amazing and I appreciate all your hard work more than I can say!
Caroline, I love how you know when to look into the camera at the right time as if to say, "I know girl, me too. Keep going!" This was a great workout, thank you so much!
I was thinking that today as well 😀 I just looked at her like- seriously Caroline and then she was 👍🏻 and a huge smile, like- we can do this, girl! 💪🏻 I just love her and all she does! ♥️
How can a 30 min workout leave me sweating and breathless like this?!!? Not even cardio!!!!! I absolutely love this kind of workout! Thank you once again, Caroline!
Day 6 done. I used two dumbbells of 8 lb each one. I hope to increase the weight next time January 12 2023. Day 6 done. I used 10 and 15 lbs dumbbells ❤ April 21, 2024. Day 6 done. I used 12 and 15 lbs dumbbells ❤
I really appreciate this comment. I try to match Caroline’s dumbbells recommended weights in lbs and did the entire workout using 17.5lbs and struggled. I only started doing dumbbell workouts in May/June 2023 so seeing your progress too is refreshing.
Oh man... I chose the wrong day of the week to wait to shave my legs. Not sure how I'm going to stand in the shower after this one! LOL I love this series so much. I feel it changing my body and mindset every day. Caroline, you've really blessed us with the free access to these workouts. Truly. Thank you!
WOW…thank goodness this was only 30 minutes long. This workout was intense! Had to stop a couple of times otherwise my legs would’ve melted. Thank you so much Caroline for pushing me to do something I would’ve never done on my own! 💖
I'm grateful for running into your workouts. They have motivated me to be active and show up for myself each day. You've inspired me to invest in my health and wellness. Thank you so much, Caroline!
I can't say it enough: I LOVE Iron Series so so much! Never have my legs shaken like after this quad workout. Thumbs up to anyway doing the suggested add-on but I'm going to pass. Going for a long walk, and that even feels like a challenge 😀 Thank you Caroline, your channel is the best!!!
Yes, Absolutely. First workout of iron series made my legs shake, simple things like walking or going down the stairs were like challenge and here first workout leg workout of second week also shaken my legs. Ahhh!!!!! I love how it feelsssss🔥. I can't even think of doing add on workout🤣
i made it through 6:30 of the add on and then said I cannot possibly give or do anymore so I stopped by hey I crushed the Iron series portion so Im happy!!! Jello legs!
After finishing this workout I had to walk back to my house - I felt like a newborn baby giraffe. It looks so simple and innocent - 30 minutes, what could be the harm in that? How wrong I was! Thank you Caroline for this workout and the iron series!
My Bulgarian lunges are much more manageable now, I had never done one before CG. Now I can do body weight. I split the one minute to r/l sides. 30 each. I am proud of myself for finding commitment to improve rather than go hard and avoid. My future is bright and my quads are noticeably stronger!!! Life is good. Thanks CG!
I just wanna say Caroline. I love you ❤️ you’re a gift from all the Gods. People are saying their quads are shaking after the workout. Mine were shaking the entire time. I’ve tried so many other online fitness workouts. None even come close to the workouts you put together. And freeeeee??!?!? You’re An absolute beast!! I hope you become the biggest fitness superstar world wide! You’ve grown insanely fast and I hope it doesn’t slow down!!
My husband and I are on the road as he is a truck driver and I love that I’m able to keep my consistency and stay in these workouts daily!!!❤ thank you.
I found this so difficult. I couldn't do any of the sets in full 😢 I was so happy when the 30mins was over. Not my best workout so far, but glad I showed up for myself 💪
SAME THING FOR ME! I had the same thing! I actually was just scrolling to see if others had the same issue. This workout was by far one of the toughest for me. I never pressed paused as much as I did with this ☹️
SAME. I have strong quads, but I just couldn’t get through without a break each set, especially when she pulled out the chair 😭😭 even though this comment is from a year ago, I’m still proud of you for showing up and doing your best!!
I love the Iron Series!!! Caroline, a huge thank you for all your do for the community and put out there for free!!! You are amazing. I’d love to see more Q&A’s too…always love hearing from you!!
Absolutely crazily in love with this new series. I did struggle today with the grip on the heavier weights I started to use. I did not want this to become the limiting factor for me. So I decided to wear my 10 kg weighted vest I use for jogging and then switched to lighter weights. Total load was still 40 kg.
Oh my quads! I'm about a year and a half post ACL and minor meniscus surgery and my left quad muscle where my tendon was borrowed for my new ACL is much weaker compared to my right (non-surgery) leg. All those Bulgarian lunges sure made my left weakness evident and I'm so glad to be working on getting that strength back. This workout was so quad focused and just excellent. Thank you so much for creating these, I love them!
Loved it!!! I will definitely feel my quads the next few days, this was brutal, but I am so happy for doing it! Thank you, Caroline! Wishing all of you a wonderful day and week ahead!
Always amazed - you make me do things to my legs that even they don’t know they can do haha! But seriously, Caroline, you don’t TAKE time out of my day, you INVEST the time into myself which in the future will not only give me a better quality of life every day, but perhaps even make my life LONGER. I know its definitely richer, stronger! I am hugging you across the miles from Canada!
My legs are on 🔥 🔥 this was awesomely hard! I had to crawl to reach my tablet to write this. Really like the 30 min format, I feel like I can push harder because we can do anything for 30 min, and I like the slow controlled pace. You gave us a winner, again 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Happy Monday everyone!!!!!! This was another fantastic workout! I pushed myself with 40 lbs for lunges for the first time. What a great start to the week, feeling strong! Caroline, you and the community help me be a better person each day. Thank you Caroline and thank you everyone!!!!❤️❤️❤️
I found this workout really challenging! By the Bulgarian lunges, I thought I was going to die. 😫 So glad I kept pushing to the finish. Thank you Caroline! 💞
My quads are on fire! This session is my favourite since the beginning. I really felt my muscles working. As I know that I am sorely lacking in "strength" in my abs and core, I decided to add an ab session after each session. I hope that this will help me with my posture during the exercises as well as in my daily life. Thank you very much Caroline for what you bring to me. See you all tomorrow! Have a lovely day!
I'm loving the new series! I love how it truly focuses on lifting heavy and proper form. My goal is to build muscle and tone and these workouts are doing it!
I LOVE the Iron Series!!! I love it because it is giving me the opportunity to grow muscle and increase the weights I lift. I'm 53 and teach, so I'm always on my feet and get in at least 12,000-15,000 steps a day! Needed this workout more than you know...I will definitely be repeating this one! THANK YOU!!!
Week 2 off to an amazing start! Anyone else muttering between their teeth through the never ending Bulgarians or was that just me? Loved it. Ready for the day.
Loved this one! Did it along with EPIC HEAT day 13 and enjoyed both! Thanks Caroline for the exceptional workouts you provide us every day. You’re the light of so many people lives. 🌟
Well done everyone on smashing week 1! And what a great way to start week 2...a quad focussed session...where I’m sure we will work hard and have fun! These one minute exercise periods are really building strength, stamina and endurance! Enjoy the Bulgarian lunges everyone and happy Monday! Matthew
Happy Monday Mathew and everyone. Ready to smash the week. I do like the quad workouts I used to hate Bulgarian lunges but now am ready to tackle a bit heavier weight. Are you planning on any more half marathons? Have a great workout
I just need to say this... My FAVOURITE quad workout so far!! I am repeating myself, I know, but the simplicity of the session is blowing my mind! Starting heavy with lunges, that using only bodyweight and finishing with burning sensation! Wow, loved it! Finished with bulgarian add-on and for the last 4 minutes I wasn't feeling like doing bulgarian's anymore(😂) so I just hold wall sit for 4 minutes. No I am certain that soreness awaits me in the future😂 Have a good one!
Love this Girl!! Great motivator and yes I agree looks at the camera in just the right time!! Thank you for doing these workouts and explaining and the rest in between. AWESOME!!!!
It's week 2!! It's another great series by Caroline!! Looking forward to train my quads today.. All exercises are brilliantly planned as always.. As a lovely outfit too.. Thank you so much Caroline for impacting so many lives worldwide...I admire you so much..I could see so many good changes in my physique.. And that's all because of you.. Thank you so much for everything that you do for us.. Forever grateful to you!! Have a wonderful day Caroline and everyone!!
@@matthewalmond8274 Hello Matthew.. Thank you for your kind words.. I really enjoyed this leg workout!! As always such a fantastic session it was!! See you tomorrow.. Have a good rest..
IRON series is the perfect name for our workouts. Afterwards I feel tough as nails! Well, my quads are quivering! Thank you Caroline for leading us and encouraging us to increase our weights!
Hi Aaron...yes definitely challenging but we Girvanators are up for anything aren’t we! As you say we are ready for anything that Monday may bring! Have a great workout today! Matthew
I just finished this workout second time round. I had clearly forgotten how brutal it was!!! Really made me sweat and had to drop my weights at times. Thank you Caroline for always challenging us xo
I’m repeating the Iron Series because I loved it so much. I did this workout this morning and I was amazed by how much stronger I felt this time around. Day 6 kicked my butt last time I did it. Love the progress I’m making with my weight training! Thank you for this wonderful series and all the wonderful videos you post!!
Day 6 of this series and I can see a change in my legs. I'm almost 64, have always been active, running, cycling, working out of some kind. But lately, noticing sagging and lack of tone in my legs! I'm only using 10 pound weights till I feel stronger. Especially on the balance things. But the thing is, I look forward to these workouts! Challenging (very) but not impossible. And if you can't do it, lower your weight or do reg lunges instead of the so hard bulgarian ones! I'm doing the bulgarian ones, but I'm so shaky! Overall, this is thrilling for me!
Caroline! I just lost my beloved doggie and I am very sad. Me and my doggie 🐶 usually watch your video together and he’ll watch me follow your workouts but he’s gone and I haven’t watch your video for awhile. I was scared cuz I miss him soooo much. But today I encouraged my self to do this workout with you and I feel a little better.Thank you for showing us all the movements. I had good times with my fur baby watching your videos together! Great memories.
Did Day 6 before work and grabbed those heavy 45-pound and 30-pound dumbbells. Was so intense and I loved it! Doing the BSS add-on after work. It's bodyweight, which we know means NOT easier, probably a ton of time under tension. Looking forward to it- and going to try to get my son to join me. Fun start to the week. THANK YOU, CG!!
Hello, I was just reading the community post to see what goodies you have prepared for this week!! Winston & Ralph are adorable & stealing the show!!🐶🐶😃❤️ They made me smile & made my day😃😘😘 Now… let’s work the quads!! Have a great day!!
Hi Irina...isn’t Ralph just so lovely...and it’s fantastic that he and Winston are making friends! I’m sure he’s keeping Caroline busy! Enjoy your quads workout...I’ve just finished and I enjoyed it...I actually really enjoyed the Bulgarian lunges sequence...lots of variety! Have a lovely day! Matthew
Hello Irina! I hope your quads felt challenged and nicely worked after this session!! If I wore jeans now, they’d definitely be tight for a day!😆 Yes Ralph and Winston are constantly playing and cuddling… it’s so cute!!👊🏼🤩
@@matthewalmond8274 Hi Matthew, great workout indeed! I love the shorter format - like it was on epic heat - I can squeeze it better in my schedule… I love the BLG lounges, they are really challenging but you can see & feel the results👍 Have a lovely day!!
@@CarolineGirvan Hi Caroline, nice to see you mention the jeans thing! I used to be really nervous about that 😱😱😱 thinking I was gaining lot of weight😂😂😂😂 But I realised that it is actually strongly related to the workouts😝 The same with some shirts sleeves 😁 I love those 2 cuties, thanks for sharing their lovely muzzles🐶😘 Have a great day!🤗
I dream of…bulgarian lounges. 💪🏻I LOVE, LOVE the iron series and find it challenging for us, who’ve been lifting weights for a long time as well as the beginners. Thank you, Caroline!
*OMG! So many Bulgarian lunges!! lol Felt so good afterwards tho. Thank you, CG xoxo Have I mentioned that I’m loving the IRON series so far? 😍 can’t wait for a good quads workout tmr! “Let’s go!”
Hi Yiying...yes I know from all your brilliant, positive comments that you are having fun doing this series! Hope you had a great quad workout today! I loved it! Happy Monday! Matthew
Loving this series so much thank you caroline you have changed my physical and mental health . It’s midnight hear and I just wanna do this workout it be be morning though lol about 2 p.m your time .
Hi Amie...so lovely to read about all the positive benefits you have seen...I am so pleased for you! Have a great workout when you do it! You’ll love it! Matthew
Hello Amie! Thank you so much for sharing this! I agree in regards to the incredible benefits to becoming stronger and definitely past the physical! I share my workouts with you and for me every day is a little different such as energy levels and of course this relates to how I’ve trained days previously but also what’s going on in my life, sleep, time of the month and also if I’ve had a weekend of perhaps eating out more, a birthday party or take away where due to the type of food my body will hold onto water, more food in my belly and my shorts are tighter! 😆 and I love it! Life is short and be sure to have fun next few weeks!👊🏼🤩
@@CarolineGirvan thank you for you advice and for everything you put into your workout I am so excited to workout now and feeling and looking better is a bonus . Thanks so much .
so so so soooo good! I made it all the way through, I feel super proud of myself. Last year I could do barely any bulgarian lunges without the weights, and now I am able to go through a workout with weights 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you again. This one really kicked my keester. Mercy. I was sweating bullets and I really feel it. Currently I used 15 and 20 pound weights. My goal is to get closer and closer to your weights (as close as American weights as I can.) I am having some lower back tension and having to stretch it out. I am loving this series though. I do not watch them under my account, but as a guest on the free wifi in the gym I go to. So I wanted to come here and give a like and a thumbs up.
This was a ripper!🙃 I tried not to use lighter dumbells today and stuck with my 9kg and 12.5kg as my lightest and heaviest dumbells respectively. At a stage I was seriously conntemplating using my 7kgs instead, but we managed to push through that discomfort and doubt, so thanks Caroline💪 I will say, my favourite part of today's session (or possibly the section most fresh in my mind) was actually the Bulgarian lunges add on - yikes. I got A LOT of practice in today, so thanks for that😁 This was tough but I had alot of fun and I really feel like I'm starting to get back into lifting, which is wonderful! Much love from South Africa
I have done MANY home workouts, for many years! I just want to say THANK YOU for creating your TH-cam station with your amazing workouts! I am enjoying them so much and share with everyone I know! Can't wait to see my results after my first 30 days!
Let’s set out quads on fire this Monday! What better way to start off the week than with a killer workout from our favourite fitness Queen Caroline? 😍💪🏻
Fantastic quads day to make us all IRON strong - thanks TONS Caroline. Yup this is going to be the gift that keeps on giving later today and tomorrow 😅
I'm loving the Iron series sooooo much!!! i feel like all the muscle groups are getting good attention and for the right amount of time!!! don't let it stop!!
Excited for Week 2! Loving IRON Series. Thinking of getting dip bars. Seems so challenging but fun. Ready for Day 6. Let's work those Quads! 👊 Done✔️. Enjoyed it a lot! Quads worked hard. Fave part was the BW 1/2 Rep. Bulgarian Lunges and Finisher. Quads on 🔥 and shaking. Legs were done after. Great workout! 🤩 Thanks Caroline! ❤️ Happy Monday! Have a great week!
@@soleil0812Elli Hey Elli! 🤗 Thank you. Just finished and had so much fun. Quads jelly now. Loved the finisher. Hope you have a great workout as well and have a lovely day! 😊
Morning Trish...your favourite parts were just the same as mine! I loved those half rep bodyweight Bulgarians! As you say a brilliant quads session! Happy Monday...and you too have a great week ahead! Matthew
@@matthewalmond8274 Hi Matthew. Glad you enjoyed it as well. Got to use my heavier weights today. So pleased with that. Solid quad sesh. Would revisit in the future. Thanks. Have a lovely day! 😊
Hi Trish wasn't it a sizzler on those quads. I matched Caroline in the weights today. My first time using my 2x20kg and it was ouchie 😱 but ploughed on. Was so glad it dropped to 12.5kg thereafter. Like you my legs were shaking. the finisher had serious burn but loved it all. Had a few expletives throughout 😜😜well done today. I went on to do add on. 20 million Bulgarian lunges 😱😱 that finished me off completely but got there in the end. A great days work done today👏👏
Hello Caroline !!! I wish i could subscribe you a Million times ! ♥️ You are such a fine virtual trainer that anyone can ever have ! More power to you ! You are helping out millions of people arround the globe to work on themselves and love themselves! Soooo Proud of you Lady ! ♥️♥️♥️
Day 6 complete! Someone poured water on my floor! Oh no, just my sweat! 🤣🤣🤣 I used 10 and 15kg for this one. I must say I found the leg on the chair hard because my balance is really poor, so need to improve on that for sure. Roll on DAY 7! 💪🏾❤️
I am def in love with this series Caroline. Just wanted to tell you that from Dec 2021 to now I have completed Epic 3, Endgame and now Iron Series. My body is turning into one strong and functional machine. My quads are mad atm but they will live. 😁 Keep being the awesome being you are. Thank 💜 😊
I'm lovin this new format. Longer work time, 30m duration, heavier weights. This entire series is GOLD. Caroline, you are the best!! My goal is to lift as heavy as you. I'm still about 5 kg behind, but making steady progress!
I struggled SO MUCH!!!! But I did it!!! I saw her struggle a little too so that just means we worked HARD!!!!!! Loved this very tough challenging leg day!!! Iron series ROCKS!!!!!
I love this series so far! I’m taking it to the gym some days, easing back out of my bedroom workouts! Thanks for such a well crafted lifting routine Caroline! 💙
Yes...this is a great series isn’t it! I guess going to the gym gives you a great variety of weights which would be just perfect for this series! Hope you have a fantastic workout today! Matthew
Brilliant to hear! This is a perfect series for the gym setting! You can look at the description under the video and get your dumbbells ready! You can also perform pull ups or wide lat pull downs as apposed to pull overs, leg extension over heel elevated squats, or even barbell row over dumbbell row! The possibilities are endless! Cx
20 mins later and legs still shaking lol!! day 6 and already hooked, really liking the half hour workout series especially with a crazy work schedule. Great workout!!
Today I start Day 1 of the IRON series! And of course I couldn’t resist coming here to see how much I will struggling in a week’s time… looks like this workout will be decently challenging! 🔥
Hi Matthew...I hope you have had a great time away and I see you are now ready to get into iron series! I think you’ll really love this series with its focus on lifting and pushing to heavier weights! I think it could have been designed specially for you! Hope you have a great time doing this series! Matthew
I do the Iron series for the second time😀I've forgotten how hard it was 😂 I'm so happy I took 2*18kg and 2*12kg Caroline you're an amazing inspiration.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This workout was hard! So glad we dropped to one weight and then bodyweight for those Bulgarian lunges. Every exercise was mind over matter for me today. Used 25lbs. for everthing except the goblet squats 35lbs. Completed the add on but, it was brutal!
GIRL…my legs feel dead & my quads are shaking like crazy, but honestly couldn’t have been a better workout! On a serious note, I’m 14 years old and I play club volleyball. When I started volleyball, I was in the weaker side, hardly being able to rep push-ups. You have improved my health, endurance, & strength. I can now do about 15 push-ups non stop, which may seem small but is a huge accomplishment to me! Have a great day :)
Hi Caroline. Finally I do all exercises and now I can't breath. I think it's good challenge that I can finish it. You are full of energy and I feel you are looking at me and you push me to try more harder. Your body is my wish and I will gaining.💪❤
That one was horrible so hard. I found it tough holding position whilst balancing the weight and trying to get muscle connection. So glad for the final beep. Got through it and glad I didn’t give up. Thanks Caroline
Ok…. Let me tell you something.. do NOT underestimate the 1 minute duration time!! I’m going through the peri menopause and have a bit of hip pain so did it very slowly. If your legs aren’t shaking after this then you’re not human. Wishing you all good luck getting out of bed tomorrow 😬😬.. love you Caroline.. Hope you are well ❤
This was intense! Definitely gonna feel the legs tomorrow. This is not called Iron for nothing! Love it; Thank you so much Caroline and see you tomorrow. Have a great evening.
Love these workouts! I started almost 6 months ago. Down 40lbs and feel the muscle increasing. 💪 One question I have is what type or cardio do you incorporate after a workout like this.
Caroline- I recently tried a Cross Fit class near me. The instructor was impressed by how well I did on my first try and wanted to know what gym I came from. He was surprised when I told him I work out at home....all credit goes to you. On my own, I take it easy. You push me harder than I ever thought possible. I don't love it going through it, but I love the fitness results. Thank you for building this community. You're amazing and I appreciate all your hard work more than I can say!

Always! A sideways glance just when you need it, ready with a reassuring smile "I'm with you, keep going" telepathy on a different level 👍😎😀
I was thinking that today as well 😀

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I completely understand
30 min no biggie 😅
Oh same here... and at night time ouch!
Hahaha😂😂

I'm 53 and teach, so I'm always on my feet and get in at least 12,000-15,000 steps a day! Needed this workout more than you know...I will definitely be repeating this one! THANK YOU!!!
Week 2 off to an amazing start! Anyone else muttering between their teeth through the never ending Bulgarians or was that just me? Loved it. Ready for the day.
Loved this one!
Did it along with EPIC HEAT day 13 and enjoyed both!
Thanks Caroline for the exceptional workouts you provide us every day. You’re the light of so many people lives. 🌟
Well done everyone on smashing week 1! And what a great way to start week 2...a quad focussed session...where I’m sure we will work hard and have fun! These one minute exercise periods are really building strength, stamina and endurance! Enjoy the Bulgarian lunges everyone and happy Monday! Matthew
Happy Monday Mathew and everyone. Ready to smash the week. I do like the quad workouts I used to hate Bulgarian lunges but now am ready to tackle a bit heavier weight. Are you planning on any more half marathons? Have a great workout
Morning Matthew.. our quads will be on fire today but I am looking forward to it..
enjoy and have fun with this one.. happy Monday😁
Thanks about those Bulgarians 😂
I totally agree with you, 1 minute is just the perfect time for each move and take our time with it. Hope you have a wonderful week !
I just need to say this... My FAVOURITE quad workout so far!! I am repeating myself, I know, but the simplicity of the session is blowing my mind! Starting heavy with lunges, that using only bodyweight and finishing with burning sensation! Wow, loved it! Finished with bulgarian add-on and for the last 4 minutes I wasn't feeling like doing bulgarian's anymore(😂) so I just hold wall sit for 4 minutes. No I am certain that soreness awaits me in the future😂
Have a good one!
Love this Girl!! Great motivator and yes I agree looks at the camera in just the right time!! Thank you for doing these workouts and explaining and the rest in between. AWESOME!!!!
It's week 2!! It's another great series by Caroline!! Looking forward to train my quads today.. All exercises are brilliantly planned as always.. As a lovely outfit too.. Thank you so much Caroline for impacting so many lives worldwide...I admire you so much..I could see so many good changes in my physique.. And that's all because of you.. Thank you so much for everything that you do for us.. Forever grateful to you!! Have a wonderful day Caroline and everyone!!
Hi Priyardarshini...what a lovely comment! Well said! Hope you have a fantastic workout and have a lovely day! Matthew
@@matthewalmond8274 Hello Matthew.. Thank you for your kind words.. I really enjoyed this leg workout!! As always such a fantastic session it was!! See you tomorrow.. Have a good rest..
IRON series is the perfect name for our workouts. Afterwards I feel tough as nails! Well, my quads are quivering! Thank you Caroline for leading us and encouraging us to increase our weights!
Can’t wait for this one, love how the weights have gone up! Such a great challenge that leaves you ready for anything Monday can bring!!!
Hi Aaron...yes definitely challenging but we Girvanators are up for anything aren’t we! As you say we are ready for anything that Monday may bring! Have a great workout today! Matthew
Amazing workout, and always enjoying the music!
I just finished this workout second time round. I had clearly forgotten how brutal it was!!! Really made me sweat and had to drop my weights at times. Thank you Caroline for always challenging us xo
me too 2nd round today! still feel brutal... but I felt great after pushing through a tough workout. 😊🙌🙌
20/03/2023 IRON#3 DAY 6 DONE ! oh ma god ! Quads are on fire ! Thank you Caroline I love this ! Happy day to you and see you tomorrow!
I’m repeating the Iron Series because I loved it so much. I did this workout this morning and I was amazed by how much stronger I felt this time around. Day 6 kicked my butt last time I did it. Love the progress I’m making with my weight training! Thank you for this wonderful series and all the wonderful videos you post!!
Watching this before I actually do it. Caroline you drop so low at the bottom of your squat. That's the gamechanger!
Day 6 of this series and I can see a change in my legs. I'm almost 64, have always been active, running, cycling, working out of some kind. But lately, noticing sagging and lack of tone in my legs! I'm only using 10 pound weights till I feel stronger. Especially on the balance things. But the thing is, I look forward to these workouts! Challenging (very) but not impossible. And if you can't do it, lower your weight or do reg lunges instead of the so hard bulgarian ones! I'm doing the bulgarian ones, but I'm so shaky! Overall, this is thrilling for me!
Caroline! I just lost my beloved doggie and I am very sad. Me and my doggie 🐶 usually watch your video together and he’ll watch me follow your workouts but he’s gone and I haven’t watch your video for awhile. I was scared cuz I miss him soooo much. But today I encouraged my self to do this workout with you and I feel a little better.Thank you for showing us all the movements. I had good times with my fur baby watching your videos together! Great memories.
Loving week 2 already! Hope everyone is having a happy Monday! You've got this one everyone!
Did Day 6 before work and grabbed those heavy 45-pound and 30-pound dumbbells. Was so intense and I loved it! Doing the BSS add-on after work. It's bodyweight, which we know means NOT easier, probably a ton of time under tension. Looking forward to it- and going to try to get my son to join me. Fun start to the week. THANK YOU, CG!!
Definitely intense. Legs almost gave out going down the stairs. You sure know how to make the muscles work. Love all your workouts and thank you. Moe
Day 6 of Iron Series Done! Wow those Bulgarian lunges. Totally feeling it in this great workout. Thank you Caroline
After the hold in the finisher I thought I was done but I managed the last few squats. Awesome. Thank you.
Same!
15/11/2022! Day 6 round 2 DONE!!! I just love it! A huge thank you Caroline and bravo the team! beautiful day to all!
Hello, I was just reading the community post to see what goodies you have prepared for this week!! Winston & Ralph are adorable & stealing the show!!🐶🐶😃❤️ They made me smile & made my day😃😘😘 Now… let’s work the quads!! Have a great day!!
Hi Irina...isn’t Ralph just so lovely...and it’s fantastic that he and Winston are making friends! I’m sure he’s keeping Caroline busy! Enjoy your quads workout...I’ve just finished and I enjoyed it...I actually really enjoyed the Bulgarian lunges sequence...lots of variety! Have a lovely day! Matthew
Hello Irina! I hope your quads felt challenged and nicely worked after this session!! If I wore jeans now, they’d definitely be tight for a day!😆
Yes Ralph and Winston are constantly playing and cuddling… it’s so cute!!👊🏼🤩
Wow I must not have been watching I did not see any animals LOL
@@matthewalmond8274 Hi Matthew, great workout indeed! I love the shorter format - like it was on epic heat - I can squeeze it better in my schedule… I love the BLG lounges, they are really challenging but you can see & feel the results👍 Have a lovely day!!
@@CarolineGirvan Hi Caroline, nice to see you mention the jeans thing! I used to be really nervous about that 😱😱😱 thinking I was gaining lot of weight😂😂😂😂 But I realised that it is actually strongly related to the workouts😝 The same with some shirts sleeves 😁
I love those 2 cuties, thanks for sharing their lovely muzzles🐶😘 Have a great day!🤗
I dream of…bulgarian lounges. 💪🏻I LOVE, LOVE the iron series and find it challenging for us, who’ve been lifting weights for a long time as well as the beginners. Thank you, Caroline!
*OMG! So many Bulgarian lunges!! lol Felt so good afterwards tho. Thank you, CG xoxo
Have I mentioned that I’m loving the IRON series so far? 😍 can’t wait for a good quads workout tmr! “Let’s go!”
Hi Yiying...yes I know from all your brilliant, positive comments that you are having fun doing this series! Hope you had a great quad workout today! I loved it! Happy Monday! Matthew
It's great!!!!!
It is awesome!
Well Caroline!! This workout kicked my a**! Thank you! Haha 💜
Loving this series so much thank you caroline you have changed my physical and mental health . It’s midnight hear and I just wanna do this workout it be be morning though lol about 2 p.m your time .
Hi Amie...so lovely to read about all the positive benefits you have seen...I am so pleased for you! Have a great workout when you do it! You’ll love it! Matthew
Hello Amie! Thank you so much for sharing this!
I agree in regards to the incredible benefits to becoming stronger and definitely past the physical!
I share my workouts with you and for me every day is a little different such as energy levels and of course this relates to how I’ve trained days previously but also what’s going on in my life, sleep, time of the month and also if I’ve had a weekend of perhaps eating out more, a birthday party or take away where due to the type of food my body will hold onto water, more food in my belly and my shorts are tighter! 😆 and I love it! Life is short and be sure to have fun next few weeks!👊🏼🤩
@@CarolineGirvan thank you for you advice and for everything you put into your workout I am so excited to workout now and feeling and looking better is a bonus . Thanks so much .
Thanks Caroline. I'm little behind because of the Holiday, but I'm catching up. This was great, love when I feel it the next day. Thanks 😊 again.
so so so soooo good! I made it all the way through, I feel super proud of myself. Last year I could do barely any bulgarian lunges without the weights, and now I am able to go through a workout with weights 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you again. This one really kicked my keester. Mercy. I was sweating bullets and I really feel it. Currently I used 15 and 20 pound weights. My goal is to get closer and closer to your weights (as close as American weights as I can.) I am having some lower back tension and having to stretch it out. I am loving this series though. I do not watch them under my account, but as a guest on the free wifi in the gym I go to. So I wanted to come here and give a like and a thumbs up.
Amazing how Caroline managed to make half an hour of squats and lunges fun and pass by in the blink of an eye!
Brilliant and intense quads session! It is a killer! My second round of the IRON SERIES! Happy quads! Thanks, Caroline!
This was a ripper!🙃 I tried not to use lighter dumbells today and stuck with my 9kg and 12.5kg as my lightest and heaviest dumbells respectively. At a stage I was seriously conntemplating using my 7kgs instead, but we managed to push through that discomfort and doubt, so thanks Caroline💪
I will say, my favourite part of today's session (or possibly the section most fresh in my mind) was actually the Bulgarian lunges add on - yikes. I got A LOT of practice in today, so thanks for that😁
This was tough but I had alot of fun and I really feel like I'm starting to get back into lifting, which is wonderful!
Much love from South Africa
Caroline is progressively overloading👏
I am still doing her workouts twice a week even though I mosly do heavy lifting. Can't wait to try this one
When Caroline says it’s going to be tough- you better believe it! Thank you for it!👊🏼👍🏼💪🏼
I have done MANY home workouts, for many years! I just want to say THANK YOU for creating your TH-cam station with your amazing workouts! I am enjoying them so much and share with everyone I know! Can't wait to see my results after my first 30 days!
Let’s set out quads on fire this Monday! What better way to start off the week than with a killer workout from our favourite fitness Queen Caroline? 😍💪🏻
There is no better way to start the week 😊 I’m starting with Day 1 today so my glutes and hamstrings will be feeling it too! Enjoy the burn! 🔥
Hi...yes as Matthew D says there is no better way to start the week! What a great quads session! I loved it! Have a great week ahead! Matthew
Fantastic quads day to make us all IRON strong - thanks TONS Caroline. Yup this is going to be the gift that keeps on giving later today and tomorrow 😅
Just finished Day 6, and already seeing/feeling a difference!!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thank you, and love from Canada!!!! 🇨🇦
I'm loving the Iron series sooooo much!!! i feel like all the muscle groups are getting good attention and for the right amount of time!!! don't let it stop!!
Excited for Week 2! Loving IRON Series. Thinking of getting dip bars. Seems so challenging but fun. Ready for Day 6. Let's work those Quads! 👊
Done✔️. Enjoyed it a lot! Quads worked hard. Fave part was the BW 1/2 Rep. Bulgarian Lunges and Finisher. Quads on 🔥 and shaking. Legs were done after. Great workout! 🤩
Thanks Caroline! ❤️
Happy Monday! Have a great week!
Hi Trish, wish you a great session! Let's lift those dumbells 🦵🦵Have a wonderful week! Elli
@@soleil0812Elli Hey Elli! 🤗 Thank you. Just finished and had so much fun. Quads jelly now. Loved the finisher. Hope you have a great workout as well and have a lovely day! 😊
Morning Trish...your favourite parts were just the same as mine! I loved those half rep bodyweight Bulgarians! As you say a brilliant quads session! Happy Monday...and you too have a great week ahead! Matthew
@@matthewalmond8274 Hi Matthew. Glad you enjoyed it as well. Got to use my heavier weights today. So pleased with that. Solid quad sesh. Would revisit in the future. Thanks. Have a lovely day! 😊
Hi Trish wasn't it a sizzler on those quads. I matched Caroline in the weights today. My first time using my 2x20kg and it was ouchie 😱 but ploughed on. Was so glad it dropped to 12.5kg thereafter. Like you my legs were shaking. the finisher had serious burn but loved it all. Had a few expletives throughout 😜😜well done today. I went on to do add on. 20 million Bulgarian lunges 😱😱 that finished me off completely but got there in the end. A great days work done today👏👏
Hello Caroline !!! I wish i could subscribe you a Million times ! ♥️ You are such a fine virtual trainer that anyone can ever have ! More power to you ! You are helping out millions of people arround the globe to work on themselves and love themselves! Soooo Proud of you Lady ! ♥️♥️♥️
Day 6 complete! Someone poured water on my floor! Oh no, just my sweat! 🤣🤣🤣 I used 10 and 15kg for this one. I must say I found the leg on the chair hard because my balance is really poor, so need to improve on that for sure. Roll on DAY 7! 💪🏾❤️
Me 2 I did Day 6
I am def in love with this series Caroline. Just wanted to tell you that from Dec 2021 to now I have completed Epic 3, Endgame and now Iron Series. My body is turning into one strong and functional machine. My quads are mad atm but they will live. 😁 Keep being the awesome being you are. Thank 💜 😊
Day 6 down….24 to go 😅 I already feel stronger. Thank you Caroline!
I'm lovin this new format. Longer work time, 30m duration, heavier weights. This entire series is GOLD. Caroline, you are the best!! My goal is to lift as heavy as you. I'm still about 5 kg behind, but making steady progress!
Man! My legs are truly rubber right now and I’m so drenched in sweat like no other workout has done. Great WOD! 💪😅👍
I struggled SO MUCH!!!! But I did it!!! I saw her struggle a little too so that just means we worked HARD!!!!!! Loved this very tough challenging leg day!!! Iron series ROCKS!!!!!
I love this series so far! I’m taking it to the gym some days, easing back out of my bedroom workouts! Thanks for such a well crafted lifting routine Caroline! 💙
Yes...this is a great series isn’t it! I guess going to the gym gives you a great variety of weights which would be just perfect for this series! Hope you have a fantastic workout today! Matthew
Brilliant to hear! This is a perfect series for the gym setting! You can look at the description under the video and get your dumbbells ready! You can also perform pull ups or wide lat pull downs as apposed to pull overs, leg extension over heel elevated squats, or even barbell row over dumbbell row! The possibilities are endless! Cx
20 mins later and legs still shaking lol!! day 6 and already hooked, really liking the half hour workout series especially with a crazy work schedule. Great workout!!
Loved this focused quad workout. Feel great!
These Iron Series are not a joke. That‘s why i Love them. I added 30 minutes cardio workout to finish my entire workout.
Just did Day 6 today I am so proud of myself.... Not a joke workout but I am loving it... Thanks so much Caroline for the program
You are the best! I m already on my second month repeating Iron series with more weight and better posture on each exercise! YOU ROCK ❤
I have recently discovered you Caroline, I absolutely love your workouts and you are adorable too thank you x
Iron series is my favorite, especially the leg and glute sessions, repeating it for third time 🤘✌
Today I start Day 1 of the IRON series! And of course I couldn’t resist coming here to see how much I will struggling in a week’s time… looks like this workout will be decently challenging! 🔥
Hi Matthew...I hope you have had a great time away and I see you are now ready to get into iron series! I think you’ll really love this series with its focus on lifting and pushing to heavier weights! I think it could have been designed specially for you! Hope you have a great time doing this series! Matthew
@@matthewalmond8274 Thanks Matthew, I think I will certainly enjoy the training style in this series! 👍🏼
I do the Iron series for the second time😀I've forgotten how hard it was 😂 I'm so happy I took 2*18kg and 2*12kg
Caroline you're an amazing inspiration.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This workout was hard! So glad we dropped to one weight and then bodyweight for those Bulgarian lunges. Every exercise was mind over matter for me today. Used 25lbs. for everthing except the goblet squats 35lbs. Completed the add on but, it was brutal!
GIRL…my legs feel dead & my quads are shaking like crazy, but honestly couldn’t have been a better workout! On a serious note, I’m 14 years old and I play club volleyball. When I started volleyball, I was in the weaker side, hardly being able to rep push-ups. You have improved my health, endurance, & strength. I can now do about 15 push-ups non stop, which may seem small but is a huge accomplishment to me! Have a great day :)
Wow day 6 really hard, but I pushed myself and I made it till the end. Thank you Caroline!
Hi Caroline. Finally I do all exercises and now I can't breath. I think it's good challenge that I can finish it. You are full of energy and I feel you are looking at me and you push me to try more harder. Your body is my wish and I will gaining.💪❤
Love the iron series! My legs were like jello after today's quad workout!
That one was horrible so hard. I found it tough holding position whilst balancing the weight and trying to get muscle connection. So glad for the final beep. Got through it and glad I didn’t give up. Thanks Caroline
, mtb outdoors, pilates, yoga) is transforming me. 6wks sober. no going back ❤mahalo
So proud of everyone!! It’s so hard to commit to doing these everyday but you did it 💪🏼🙌🏼 feels so good!
Bom dia, ótima semana a todos🌻🌻🌻🌻 Fantástico e queremos mais🤭🤗Obrigada 💖
Bom dia
I don't have words to describe how I am feeling today. Great work out. Accomplished what I had in my last.
Anyone else really struggling with balance?😭😭
Totally!!! I dumb down the Bulgarian to regular lunges. Do half the set with the weights the other half without!
Me!!
😢 🤚🏻
For some days,now better
I do spilt lunges not the Bulgaria ones they work the same muscles
I went up to 15kg for the lunges. Wooooo! It was tough but I’m using this program to focus on lifting heavier. C is so inspiring.
Ok…. Let me tell you something.. do NOT underestimate the 1 minute duration time!! I’m going through the peri menopause and have a bit of hip pain so did it very slowly. If your legs aren’t shaking after this then you’re not human. Wishing you all good luck getting out of bed tomorrow 😬😬.. love you Caroline.. Hope you are well ❤
You changed my life! Thank you so much Caroline❤
Done. I swear like 5 mins in i think I've died. Omgg these workouts are freaking amazing
This was intense! Definitely gonna feel the legs tomorrow. This is not called Iron for nothing! Love it; Thank you so much Caroline and see you tomorrow. Have a great evening.
Love these workouts! I started almost 6 months ago. Down 40lbs and feel the muscle increasing. 💪 One question I have is what type or cardio do you incorporate after a workout like this.
Oh my gosh! This workout was wild. LOVE this series!!!
