PHA it's a great workout for the cardiovascular system, because you go from the upper body to the lower body quickly.... In fact it is highly recommended for women who suffer from circulatory problems in the lower limbs... We talk about it only now but Caroline has been using this method for a long time.... Guys, we have such a resource with her!!!
Morning Fiorella...great comment! Yes we’ve certainly trained like this with Caroline before and what a great way to train it is! I so much loved today’s workout! Hope you have a great weekend and see you on Sunday! Matthew
I've just finished the workout and came to the comments to write that this is the best one so far. It got my blood pumping but at the same time I feel my muscles have been worked so well. I'm definitely going to do my research in th topic of PHA workout while having circulatory problems because in fact I suffer from it at a relatively young age. Thanks for bringing up this topic!
Jillian Michaels memtioned PHA in a workout called Banish Fat Boost Metabolism more than a decade ago. Cathe Friedrich has several PHA workouts released over the last decade+. I mean, Caroline has definitely introduced it to a new audienxe, but it has been a popular fitness concept for a good many years.
Really felt like I was the only one thinking this! I needed a couple of longer breaks towards the end. This was a sweat fest but I'm proud I made it. Thanks Cazza!
I LOVED it. I was a former triathlete and coach…and for about 3.5 years struggled with energy and motivation. Not just covid related. It wad environmental and hormonal. I was lucky to be able yo do 1 maybe 2 weight workouts a cycle…walking and gentle yoga were about all I could do. So Anywho…been back on track after figuring out those things, been consistently doing 2-4 with Caroline a week and seeing yummy progress. made most of this workout and took bigger breaks when I needed to. Thank you Caroline. These workouts are soooo fun, easy to follow and work!
Yes, just saw her recommeded and started Fuel this week! Results already! Feeling engergized, more toned and stronger! They are definitely challenging!
Caroline’s love of challenging workouts is so contagious! There’s something about the way she looks so happy even when she’s getting tired and struggling that makes me desperately want to do the workout myself! 😍😍 Even before the FUEL series Caroline has utilised Peripheral Heart Action in her full body workouts, alternating between working the upper and lower body to increase the cardiovascular demand! I think it’s safe to say these workouts count as vigorous intensity activity! 💓😅
Wow Matthew! So informative and interesting. Caroline's curiosity and discipline is so contagious! This workout got me sweating a lot, don't know if it's just me... But I'm excited to hear how you get on :D Sanjeev
Morning Matthew...very true comment! Yes I’ve certainly done this type of training with Caroline although I didn’t know it was caked PHA! Whatever it is called it’s a brilliant way to train! I just loved today’s workout...and had a great cardio session! Really very very good! Have a happy weekend! Matthew
Hi Amber...yes so very true...we learn so much from Caroline! I know we all appreciate so very much just how much research and planning she puts into each workout! I know this style of training from Caroline very well...but I hadn’t known in was called PHA! But isn’t it such a superb way to train...I love the way you can build such a cardio workout into a weights session by keeping the rest periods short! I really enjoyed today’s workout so much...and now I’m really looking forward to Fuel Friday Full Body days!! Hope you have a great workout and enjoy your weekend! Matthew
@@matthewalmond8274 Hi Matthew! Oh dear oh dear, I might have to change the way I train then🙃. I always made Caroline's workouts my own by resting more than she does, because I felt I needed to, but my 'method'(or lack thereof)defeats the purpose then? At least the purpose of this particular programme?
@@isabelleweiler5603 I think as long as you keep the rest relatively similar to Caroline, it’s ok! Maybe 30 secs instead of her 20 secs…. I would think (I’m saying this as a nurse tho and NOT a fitness expert!!) if you replaced all her 20 secs rests with 50-60 secs, you probably won’t get the same challenge on your heart- BUT, we are all at different fitness levels so that may be what some people need, even with a 50-60 secs rest, you are still moving your body and challenging your body so it is still a huge benefit!
I have completed Epic I, II & III. This is my favorite workout yet. I feel simply amazing !!! I have been exercising and living a very healthy lifestyle since in my early 20's. Married, have 2 kids, have a great job and at age 52 I am in the best physical and mental stage of my life - thanks to Caroline.... I have done many many different workout plans over the past 30 years and NO ONE comes close to Caroline.. God bless you and keep them coming!! Xoxox
Let’s just take a moment to reflect on all the superb research that Caroline puts into planning her workouts! I’ve been excited to do the first full body workout of fuel series...and this just looks superb! I love doing supersets...and the choice of exercises looks so very good! There’s definitely going to be a strong cardio element in this which I love! Have fun everyone...thank you Caroline! Matthew PS...all finished and I just loved it! What a cardio blast as well as weight training! I loved the short rest periods to really get the heart rate up! Have a happy weekend everyone! Matthew
Hello Matthew, I agree Caroline has been such a blessing to us, the sacrifices she makes so as we can have this superb workouts is greatly appreciated, am loving fuel so much and can't wait to see what she has in store for us, today's workout looks so good can't wait to smash it. Have a good workout.
Morning Matthew..you said very well.. I didn’t see it anywhere that someone puts so much effort into each workout like Caroline.. I just can’t wait to smash this full body session.. Matthew enjoy😃
Morning, Matthew. I would give 100 thumbs up If I could! Sometimes I feel that other fitness trainers on online platforms are just putting together random list of exercises with 40 sec on and 20 off. But Caroline has so many different methods and she really put all her knowledge in this workouts. Today's session looks amazing, I unfortunatelly can't due it today but I can't wait for tomorrow to smash it. Enjoy and see you on sunday!
Hi Matthew! This looks amazing. You can tell that Caroline loves what she does, and puts a lot of thought and work into it 🙂 have a great workout 🏋️♀️
I went from “Just having a peek, I’ll start for real next week.” to “Aww this looks fun! I’ll start today!” 💪🏾 Love it! Thank you, Caroline, for this new fun series 🥳
Caroline: I've been doing your workouts before you did the Epic programs and let me tell you, every single workout you plan is just amazing. I can't thank you enough for what you do for this wonderful community of Girvanators. So, keep surprising us with your unique programs please, because each one gets only better than the last one. Greetings from Honduras.
I cannot believe what my body is capable of. What it can achieve. What it can do!!!! And that is all because of you, Caroline. I am so incredibly proud! Thank you for your neverending professional approach. Your notes, your wisdom, your knowledge.... your smile and your time for doing all this, for teaching us, for leading us.... I am 42 and looking better than in my 22! Sending love to you from the Czech Republic!
Hi Caroline!!! I am totally in love with fuel series. This type of work is what I love. Different to just lifting weights, in wich I have my roof (related to multiple factors) with fuel I feel like I can always give more, more reps, faster, deeper... and that's where the challenge is!!! Thank you so much for provide this series to us 🙏🤗
This one had me absolutely gasping for breath at the end -- even though each muscle group had solid rest time, the working time was so long, really taxed the system. Feeling super proud I pushed through (had zero motivation to work out today) -- drenched in sweat & feeling good!
Just discovered these workouts and they are fantastic. I have previously HATED lifting weights but, courtesy of Fuel and Epic (completed the whole course - brilliant), I think I'm a convert. As a female and over 50 I recognise the health benefits of these kind of programmes - Thank you Caroline
Wow what a workout! The last set of maker nearly broke me 😁. I love the format and short rest periods. Have a great workout and a lovely weekend everyone. Thank you Caroline
I've done many of Caroline's workouts but oh my god, this is by far the hardest workout I've completed ever! Towards the end I had to start taking longer breaks but managed to finish it. I feel very proud. ;-)
The first full body Fuel! It was so much fun. I love that Caroline educates and challenges us with these workouts. What a great start to this new series!
First FullBody Friday! So Pumped! It'll be Demanding and Fun! Who's ready to Rock this?! I Am! Let's GO! 😆👊 Day 4 Smashed!🤩 Wow! That was Tough but I Loved it! Great format! Didn't notice the time. Makers and I are besties now but doing it for 60sec were Killer. Pushing through felt Awesome! This'll be one of my fave FullBody Sesh! Thanks Caroline! ❤️ Happy Friday and Enjoy your weekend!
Hi Trish...I’m ready to join you in this tough sweaty session today! Those supersets are going to be demanding...but we will all smash this together! Have fun...and have a lovely weekend! Matthew
Good morning or good afternoon Caroline! It's been a while since I posted a comment! Closing on almost 2 years as a committed follower of your workouts! I've probably missed a couple of workouts here and there! but for the most part I completed all the series! I repeated some while on the road like CC and HIIT it Hard!! I repeated Heat almost twice: one live and the other fragmented on breaks! I love the no repeat series.. Short and sweet and can be incorporated anytime! I've been loving FUEL! I don't feel it is quite exhaustive.. I did like heat for the mix of cardio and strength and FUEL reminded me of that!.. Whatever you do Caroline I am a fan! even if a move is not a favorite I still challenge my mind before my body to do it! I am enjoying the journey with all the lovely spirits here!. Thank you Caroline for always being present and pleasant!
So lovely to hear from you again, Arwa! So good to read about your workouts...sending you my very best wishes and hoping that all is well for you! Matthew
This was a real blast!!! Sweat al over. Caroline I love how real you are, i can see the pain at you're face and we have it hard together, thank you so much! Have a lovely day everyone!
This one was very sweaty and very challenging 😰 👍🏼 physically made me feel like I did an hour instead of 30 minutes, which means it’s one hell of a good workout!
@@ashleighbickham1586You completed it and that’s fantastic! 👍🏼Her workouts are just the best. I’ve tried others, but Caroline’s are the only ones that push me and challenge me
I’m really loving these workouts. I use to do Caroline workouts here and there because I use to be like “no that’s to hard for me to do” or “ I can’t do that”. I’m happy and proud of myself, I’m really pushing myself and it feels great. Thank you Ms. Caroline I really appreciate what you do.
My favorite workout! Whenever I’m in my garage and not sure what to do, this is my go to. 50-year-old woman trying to stay in shape. I can’t thank you enough for all of your content. You’re the best. ❤ 🔥 💪
It’s so great that Caroline is educating us exactly how these exercises are affecting our body and what to look out for. Best trainer ever. Thanks so much for a fantastic series so far!
You are amazing and your videos are perfect!! I enjoy everything. The beginning letting us know what we need. Seeing the timer and hearing the bell. The small window to let us know what’s coming next, the music and cool down. You inspire me! Thank you!!
Good morning Caroline and everyone! Another Super Superset, great session Caroline loved the sequences, really set up for the weekend! Thank you once again gorgeous lady, hope you and your family have a great one! Enjoy this one guys and enjoy the weekend!! 🌹
This session also was demanding! Sweat all over, especially during stretch even more! Finisher was no mercy, the makers made it super challenging- all the muscles at once. I m looking forward to all of the Fuel sessions being this challenging as this first week, which is not done yet🤪🤩 let's see what Caroline has prepared for Sunday 💎🤸♀️🤸♂️🤸♀️🤸♂️thank you Caroline! Have a great workout everyone 💓👍
So excited for the first full body session of FUEL!! I love how Caroline talks us through her method and why we’re training the way that we are, I’ve learned so much from her. Loving this new series!!!
Morning Maggie...yes I was excited for the first full body session of fuel too...and it didn’t disappoint in any way! It is superb! Yes...I also appreciate so much the time Caroline takes to talk us through everything! Isn’t she just so brilliant! Like you I just love this series!
I loved it!!! It feels so good the be able to work out in such ways and use different techniques, my endurance definitely improved since training with Caroline! Thank you, Caroline, for another amazing full body and for introducing us to PHA! Have a wonderful Friday, everyone!
I love PHA workouts. I usually just naturally add this aspect to most of my workouts just to make the most of my time, I just had never heard the terminology. Thank you!!!😀
PHA learnt something new and so is my whole body today. What a great challenging workout. I used 2x15kg Dumbbells for the chest presses and the Renegade rows, and a 20kg Dumbbell for the Landmine. 2x17kg for the lower body workouts and 2x10kg Dumbbells for the Shoulder presses, upright rows, partials, Arnold presses, elevated squats and Bulgarian lunges. For the Goblet squats, I used a 20kg Dumbbell. I was so focused and concentrated that I didn't have much time to think of how my heart was racing and before I knew it, the finisher, with 2x10kg Dumbbells, nearly finished me. 💥💥👌👊❤. Happy weekend and please remember to take a rest day! Add on, deep stretch yoga was for me.
Hi Miris...yes very true! Every single workout that Caroline produces is just brilliant! So superbly well planned! Hope you have a lovely weekend! Matthew
Oh my ,what a workout ,absolutely amazing ,all my hormones are crazy ,serotonin to the max ,lovely challenge ,made my adjustments to suit ,thank you Caroline .
Wow I feel extraordinary. If we have done this format before in EPIC I totally forgot but this format ROCKS! It´s killer, fun, goes fast! Also, definitely the effect of Iron Series left a mark since it is the first time I can Maker with 8 KG. FUN, totally destroyed, will be enjoying the rest day tomorrow! See you Sunday Girvanators, Caroline THANK YOU!!!!!!
In between heat series post completing end game -- did this one today - just wow !! Thnx Caroline for inspiring and pushing us for the last 2 yrs !! U R EPIC ...
Morning everyone, this Is a great workout to start this friday 🔥 the move's variety are brilliant and, as always, very challenging. Thank you Caroline for your dedication, both in the video and in the descriptions...we can see and really appreciate that you love what you do for us.
Woo! I felt that today, but i persevered and as a result I'm pumped and ready for the day ahead 🙌 I find it encouraging and motivating knowing that someone else in the world, is probably doing it with me in spirit. Thank you Caroline 🙏 Well done for showing up everyone, no matter your level 🙌 Love and light, Clare 💙🌟
yay day 4 let's freaking do this! I'm already sore from previous workouts...these workouts are 30 min long but so intense so effective and leave you feeling sweaty, happy, and satisfied with your job! awesome let's crush this and build some serious muscles!
work out chasers?That's my kind.!Done Nov 07th,2024...boiling every fat cel in my body.Todays was pretty amazing..good surfing sesh at morning,happy hour with Girvan's series..Jesus, never is enough to say You re absolutly A M A Z I N G!!! THANK YOU! Also thank you my teacher Caroline.!
PHA... Interesting, this is a new term to me as a fitness newbie. I've read the description & will do my own researches, too. Thanks for always introducing/incorporating different types of training methods!
Hi Renee...yes I didn’t know the term PHA...but I know the style of training from Caroline! I thought this session was superb! The point is you can keep the rest periods short even though you are doing weight training so the heart rate is really increased! I was very hot and sweaty by the end and I just loved it! Hope you have a great weekend! Matthew
PHA = Peripheral heart action. Working the upper body then lower body - blood pumping from small to big muscles then reversed. Putting this here to remind myself what it is and to always know where I first learnt abt it. Building body and knowledge base with CG 💯
This was intense 😳 I used 20kg and 13kg DBs today. Certainly on my limit for this type of workout. The HR was definitely up peaked at 153. What I love is that I'm always challenged by these workouts and I challenge myself with my weight selection. I really appreciate what is produced daily for us and the effort that takes and after 2.5 years of solid gains I have nothing but repect for our mentor.
Wow!! What a fantastic full body workout 🏋️♂️👊 . It really makes me happy and energised for the rest of the day . I personally like challenges drive my body to " the limit in a good way" . The last rep , the last pump ,breath out and DONE ✅ . The after glow for me is similar to my yoga practice and I enjoy every second . Caroline you are a such a incredible coach with all your well planned sets . Wish YOU and all the other Girvanators a nice rest day and lovely weekend with your loved ones 🧡😘
I literally never leave youtube comments - but Caroline you have supported me and so many other people around the world for so long now. I've done all of your programs and just embarking on this new one has given me so much joy. We are all so blessed that you are kind enough to share these amazing workouts. Lots of love and blessings, lets smash this everyone!
I don't really comment much on TH-cam either but while doing Epic 1 I wanted to be able to interact with everyone but it's lonely there because the majority moved on. I was going to go straight into Epic 2 but my husband let me know this program just started so I am doing it because I like all the interacting here 😁 I'll do Epic 2 once Fuel finishes though.. I want to try to do all her workouts!
I fell in love with the PHA format during the EPIC programmes, and I'm happy to see it back. It makes everything so much more challenging; the intensity is unbelievable! It seems we'll have super fun full-body sessions! Thanks, Caroline!
Wow, that was one of the hardest Friday workouts for a long time… thank goodness it’s a bank holiday not sure how I am going to cope next week. Love it thanks Caroline
I have done every program Caroline has blessed us with and it never ceases to amaze me how she can STILL find ways to kick my butt. This was a killer workout!!
Good Morning Everyone 😊 the variety in today's workout is amazing! I love how we will be alternating between the upper and lower body. Cannot wait to workout 😍
Caroline, I started your workouts around 2022. In October 2023 I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. After surgery I couldn’t wait to get back to your workouts. During chemo and radiation I tried my best to stick to your videos. I’m coming up on my one year anniversary and can just cry from how happy I am to be able to get back into it. Even with my inconsistency I’ve been able to get back into it and even increase my weights (just a little). I love how much my heart has to work to keep up. Thank you and God bless!!!❤❤❤❤
Woah. This is a new level of work from the Iron series, which is the only one I had previously done! My heart is definitely working hard, and my legs are shaking from all the reps and variety. Thanks for keeping things interesting and challenging CG!
this was awesome..I live this series and doubt will love what's to come .I can feel the difference from when I did epic 3 to epic heat ( which I'm still doing) to fuel..wow ..thank u Caroline again and again..I'll keep saying it..love this accomplished it today ..no modifying no taking a break.. good luck everybody Caroline you are fantastic I don't have words for what you have done for me except thank you
Just wow!!! 🔥 I know I got better today how about y’all!?! Another AMAZING Fuel work out she said as the sweat pored from her brow!! Loving the program Caroline!!! ♥️
Miss Caroline, I am not sure where can I shout out my joys and happiness for my own little progress/training from all your videos almost 1 year now, [to be exact 1 month into 12 months]. To others, it is very slow progress or it's nothing, but to myself, it's huge joy, I don't aim for fast progress, I try enjoy the process. After 11 months training with u, I managed to do a proper bodyweight Bulgarian lunge. It has taken me 11 months, (never lift weight in my life, carrying 1kg weight when first saw your beautiful face on you tube, to now able to carry 2x5kg for normal lunges) . Why am I so grateful for u? It's because even though I suffer from arthritis, sciolisos, not able to even cut a single carrot, or carry grocery bag, now i can do a Bulgarian lunge, I felt great,and a conquerer. My next task is able to get a full push up, might take a year or more,as long as I can gain strength. I miss u, we all miss u. Thank you from my bottom of my heart. Whether you will return for us, or not, I am still be grateful for all the free videos, the tips, and information you provided for us. You have saved part of my life. Thank you Caroline.
This was one of the most challenging workout I’ve done in a while! Absolutely loved every moment. So well thought out. Thank you SO much Caroline! Fuel is my absolute favourite only 4 days in. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you give us ❤️🔥
Not sure if you will ever see this comment BUT I would just like to take a minute to say how much I appreciate you Caroline!!! Your workouts are top notch ….this workout was crazy insane hard!! The fuel program is so challenging for so many different reasons and I absolutely love it this is my second program with you and I will just continue to keep doing your programs they are so amazing thank you again!!!!!
Haha I’m technically staying up for Caroline’s new post! Subsequent note: Day 4 full body done. Listened to Caroline and upped the weights used to IRON series and managed not having to die 👍🏼💪🏼😅. I returned to use the IRON weights level since Day 3. Guess my body must have adjusted to the new mechanism of the FUEL series!
Thank you Caroline for the very detailed description at the start of this Full Body Friday workoutout 🙏🙂. It's fantastic of you to share the information and explain the research, reasons/science behind your sessions. The time you take to educate your community it exemplary and I for one applaud you for all you do for us so selflessly. 😔🙏👐. Time to FUEL 🔥 up my mind and body and crack on with this Full Body Friday workoutout 👍✅💪.
Hi Philippa ☺️.... Well said, Caroline is a great professional! Her workouts are always perfectly designed! I enjoyed this full body, tough especially because it's fast and I kept my heavy dumbbells .... I love makers,... what a finish 😅!!! Have a lovely weekend 😊!!!
@@fiorellamartino7240 Hi Fiorella. So pleased you enjoyed this workout. Amazing to keep with your heavier weights well done 👍 . Maker is such a superb combination and used as the finisher it definitely hits the spot 👍👌for the whole body. Have a super day see you on Sunday for the first cardio workout of FUEL. I think it's going to be tough if this week is anytime to go by 🤔👋
So, I increased my weights today...really excited that I am getting stronger! Thank you, Caroline...😎That was a tough workout for me...I was making "Michael Jackson" squeals and some grunts in between😂🤣🤣 BUT knowing the rest of the Girvanators are in this helped me push through Well done, everyone and have a great weekend.
Smashing work out, time passed so quickly…especially during those 20 seconds of ”rest” 😉 Interesting to learn about PHA; Thank you Caroline and have a nice weekend everyone 🤗
I don't know why I LOOOOVE getting to do makers but always a way to feel really powerful when they pop up. This is going to be a fab Friday full body, but I really needed that rest day no question. Wonderful series so far Caroline!😅🌺🙏❤
That was so awesome and ensured it's hair washing day! Thank you for this amazing Fuel series, Caroline. I've loved every workout so much & can't wait to see what next week has in store. Happy Friday and have a great weekend, y'all! 🔥
I read the education that you provided in your description. This is my 4th day. I’m excited to do the 5th day. Thank you Caroline! The finisher kicked my butt but I did not quite. God bless!

Just did it this morning. Yes definitely it was a very humbling experience! 👊🏼💦

Same here and I'm starting to see results versus other TH-camrs
Better late than never! You can trust her programs, they're well thought out and actually work.

I went from “Just having a peek, I’ll start for real next week.” to “Aww this looks fun! I’ll start today!” 💪🏾 Love it! Thank you, Caroline, for this new fun series 🥳
💖
Caroline: I've been doing your workouts before you did the Epic programs and let me tell you, every single workout you plan is just amazing. I can't thank you enough for what you do for this wonderful community of Girvanators. So, keep surprising us with your unique programs please, because each one gets only better than the last one. Greetings from Honduras.
I cannot believe what my body is capable of. What it can achieve. What it can do!!!! And that is all because of you, Caroline. I am so incredibly proud! Thank you for your neverending professional approach. Your notes, your wisdom, your knowledge.... your smile and your time for doing all this, for teaching us, for leading us.... I am 42 and looking better than in my 22! Sending love to you from the Czech Republic!
Have completed EPIC 1- 2 - 3, Heat and Iron.
Fuel is Major League! THE BEST 🥇serie to my opinion.
Thank you so much CG ♥️
Hi Caroline!!! I am totally in love with fuel series. This type of work is what I love. Different to just lifting weights, in wich I have my roof (related to multiple factors) with fuel I feel like I can always give more, more reps, faster, deeper... and that's where the challenge is!!! Thank you so much for provide this series to us 🙏🤗
This one had me absolutely gasping for breath at the end -- even though each muscle group had solid rest time, the working time was so long, really taxed the system. Feeling super proud I pushed through (had zero motivation to work out today) -- drenched in sweat & feeling good!
My sentiments exactly!!
you killed it !!!!
Solid rest time???
Just discovered these workouts and they are fantastic. I have previously HATED lifting weights but, courtesy of Fuel and Epic (completed the whole course - brilliant), I think I'm a convert. As a female and over 50 I recognise the health benefits of these kind of programmes - Thank you Caroline
Wow what a workout! The last set of maker nearly broke me 😁. I love the format and short rest periods. Have a great workout and a lovely weekend everyone. Thank you Caroline
I've done many of Caroline's workouts but oh my god, this is by far the hardest workout I've completed ever! Towards the end I had to start taking longer breaks but managed to finish it. I feel very proud. ;-)
The first full body Fuel! It was so much fun. I love that Caroline educates and challenges us with these workouts. What a great start to this new series!
A brilliant session! PHA is super fun! My second round of FUEL, and I'm rediscovering its magic! Thanks, Caroline!
First FullBody Friday! So Pumped! It'll be Demanding and Fun! Who's ready to Rock this?! I Am! Let's GO! 😆👊
Day 4 Smashed!🤩 Wow! That was Tough but I Loved it! Great format! Didn't notice the time. Makers and I are besties now but doing it for 60sec were Killer. Pushing through felt Awesome! This'll be one of my fave FullBody Sesh!
Thanks Caroline! ❤️
Happy Friday and Enjoy your weekend!
Hi Trish...I’m ready to join you in this tough sweaty session today! Those supersets are going to be demanding...but we will all smash this together! Have fun...and have a lovely weekend! Matthew
I'm ready Trish 💪 I love Makers and especially our Friday fullbody workouts 💖
@@matthewalmond8274 I'll join you as well 🤩
💥 💥 yessssss!!
@@matthewalmond8274 Hi Matthew. Yep, let's smash this! Starting in a while. You too..have a lovely weekend! 😊
Fuel is quickly becoming my all time favourite from Caroline. I can't wait to workout!!!!! Roll on Sundays HIIT.....
Good morning or good afternoon Caroline! It's been a while since I posted a comment! Closing on almost 2 years as a committed follower of your workouts! I've probably missed a couple of workouts here and there! but for the most part I completed all the series! I repeated some while on the road like CC and HIIT it Hard!! I repeated Heat almost twice: one live and the other fragmented on breaks! I love the no repeat series.. Short and sweet and can be incorporated anytime! I've been loving FUEL! I don't feel it is quite exhaustive.. I did like heat for the mix of cardio and strength and FUEL reminded me of that!..
Whatever you do Caroline I am a fan! even if a move is not a favorite I still challenge my mind before my body to do it!
I am enjoying the journey with all the lovely spirits here!. Thank you Caroline for always being present and pleasant!
So lovely to hear from you again, Arwa! So good to read about your workouts...sending you my very best wishes and hoping that all is well for you! Matthew
Praise the Lord! What a sweater! Thank you Caroline~
This was a real blast!!! Sweat al over.
Caroline I love how real you are, i can see the pain at you're face and we have it hard together, thank you so much!
Have a lovely day everyone!
Great comment and so true about Caroline! Hope you have a very happy day too!
I have not slept yet just because I'm excited waiting for this. Thank you Caroline 🥰
My favourite workout so far in Fuel! Thanks Caroline!
Thank you Caroline. Your workouts are consistently superior quality. I have been working out with you for years now. You always bring your A Game!
I am absolutely loving Fuel! One of my favorite series!
This one was very sweaty and very challenging 😰 👍🏼 physically made me feel like I did an hour instead of 30 minutes, which means it’s one hell of a good workout!
It did actually take me nearly an hour with all the pausing! It was great!
@@ashleighbickham1586You completed it and that’s fantastic! 👍🏼Her workouts are just the best. I’ve tried others, but Caroline’s are the only ones that push me and challenge me
Really pushed myself today! Thank you Caroline ❤
Awesome heart pumping, muscles fatiguing, challenging workout! Thank you, Caroline!
I’m really loving these workouts. I use to do Caroline workouts here and there because I use to be like “no that’s to hard for me to do” or “ I can’t do that”. I’m happy and proud of myself, I’m really pushing myself and it feels great. Thank you Ms. Caroline I really appreciate what you do.
Never ending learning from Caroline's workouts. I'm loving FUEL so much, every day a great fun! Thank you!!
My favorite workout! Whenever I’m in my garage and not sure what to do, this is my go to. 50-year-old woman trying to stay in shape. I can’t thank you enough for all of your content. You’re the best. ❤ 🔥 💪
Love all the learning and growing and discovering new ways of exercising. Thank you Caroline! 🙏 Grateful 🙌
It’s so great that Caroline is educating us exactly how these exercises are affecting our body and what to look out for. Best trainer ever. Thanks so much for a fantastic series so far!
You are amazing and your videos are perfect!! I enjoy everything. The beginning letting us know what we need. Seeing the timer and hearing the bell. The small window to let us know what’s coming next, the music and cool down. You inspire me! Thank you!!
Good morning Caroline and everyone! Another Super Superset, great session Caroline loved the sequences, really set up for the weekend! Thank you once again gorgeous lady, hope you and your family have a great one! Enjoy this one guys and enjoy the weekend!! 🌹
Yes! Love full body Friday!! Let’s go!!👏🏼💪🏼
You’ll so much love today’s session, Marla! It is just fantastic! Have fun!
Whew! This one rocked my world. Really diggin' this format. Sweaty, exhausted, quivering.... Caroline, thank you!
I think this was my favourite workout of the week! My legs are STILL sore from Monday!! Thank you Caroline
This session also was demanding! Sweat all over, especially during stretch even more! Finisher was no mercy, the makers made it super challenging- all the muscles at once. I m looking forward to all of the Fuel sessions being this challenging as this first week, which is not done yet🤪🤩 let's see what Caroline has prepared for Sunday 💎🤸♀️🤸♂️🤸♀️🤸♂️thank you Caroline! Have a great workout everyone 💓👍
So excited for the first full body session of FUEL!! I love how Caroline talks us through her method and why we’re training the way that we are, I’ve learned so much from her. Loving this new series!!!
Morning Maggie...yes I was excited for the first full body session of fuel too...and it didn’t disappoint in any way! It is superb! Yes...I also appreciate so much the time Caroline takes to talk us through everything! Isn’t she just so brilliant! Like you I just love this series!
I loved it!!! It feels so good the be able to work out in such ways and use different techniques, my endurance definitely improved since training with Caroline! Thank you, Caroline, for another amazing full body and for introducing us to PHA! Have a wonderful Friday, everyone!
I love PHA workouts. I usually just naturally add this aspect to most of my workouts just to make the most of my time, I just had never heard the terminology. Thank you!!!😀
PHA learnt something new and so is my whole body today. What a great challenging workout. I used 2x15kg Dumbbells for the chest presses and the Renegade rows, and a 20kg Dumbbell for the Landmine. 2x17kg for the lower body workouts and 2x10kg Dumbbells for the Shoulder presses, upright rows, partials, Arnold presses, elevated squats and Bulgarian lunges. For the Goblet squats, I used a 20kg Dumbbell. I was so focused and concentrated that I didn't have much time to think of how my heart was racing and before I knew it, the finisher, with 2x10kg Dumbbells, nearly finished me. 💥💥👌👊❤. Happy weekend and please remember to take a rest day! Add on, deep stretch yoga was for me.
Love every combination!!! Thanks Caroline
Hi Miris...yes very true! Every single workout that Caroline produces is just brilliant! So superbly well planned! Hope you have a lovely weekend! Matthew
These group of excercise is very effective and I really forced me a lot to complete this set. Thank you Caroline..
I really enjoyed , 🔥🥰
Oh my ,what a workout ,absolutely amazing ,all my hormones are crazy ,serotonin to the max ,lovely challenge ,made my adjustments to suit ,thank you Caroline .
Wow I feel extraordinary. If we have done this format before in EPIC I totally forgot but this format ROCKS! It´s killer, fun, goes fast! Also, definitely the effect of Iron Series left a mark since it is the first time I can Maker with 8 KG. FUN, totally destroyed, will be enjoying the rest day tomorrow! See you Sunday Girvanators, Caroline THANK YOU!!!!!!
Wow! Another super friday!Let's go!!!
In between heat series post completing end game -- did this one today - just wow !!
Thnx Caroline for inspiring and pushing us for the last 2 yrs !! U R EPIC ...
Morning everyone, this Is a great workout to start this friday 🔥 the move's variety are brilliant and, as always, very challenging. Thank you Caroline for your dedication, both in the video and in the descriptions...we can see and really appreciate that you love what you do for us.
Woo! I felt that today, but i persevered and as a result I'm pumped and ready for the day ahead 🙌 I find it encouraging and motivating knowing that someone else in the world, is probably doing it with me in spirit.
Thank you Caroline 🙏
Well done for showing up everyone, no matter your level 🙌
Love and light,
Clare 💙🌟
Fuel is so much harder for me than Iron. Iron felt so casual. I just finished this, and I’m dripping a downpour of sweat.
Right 😮
same!
Absolutely dripping.
Dead ass. Better for my needs but damn it’s harder.
Iron is for hypertrophy not getting as sweaty as possible. It’s a totally different style of training and you really can’t compare the two.
I loved the explanation in the beginning. I could really feel the blood flowing between my upper and lower body.
yay day 4 let's freaking do this! I'm already sore from previous workouts...these workouts are 30 min long but so intense so effective and leave you feeling sweaty, happy, and satisfied with your job! awesome let's crush this and build some serious muscles!
Loving the Fuel series. Thank you so much Caroline xxx
Wow! Caroline what a workout😁💪and I always think about focusing on my mind and my body and that's how I get ahead. thanks Caroline🤗🇨🇴☺️
work out chasers?That's my kind.!Done Nov 07th,2024...boiling every fat cel in my body.Todays was pretty amazing..good surfing sesh at morning,happy hour with Girvan's series..Jesus, never is enough to say You re absolutly A M A Z I N G!!! THANK YOU! Also thank you my teacher Caroline.!
Great workout and my heart rate was up for most of it with a good sweat. Love the switching back and forth for active rest! Enjoy everyone!
Quality videos one after another... Thank you so much Caroline!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
PHA... Interesting, this is a new term to me as a fitness newbie. I've read the description & will do my own researches, too. Thanks for always introducing/incorporating different types of training methods!
Hi Renee...yes I didn’t know the term PHA...but I know the style of training from Caroline! I thought this session was superb! The point is you can keep the rest periods short even though you are doing weight training so the heart rate is really increased! I was very hot and sweaty by the end and I just loved it! Hope you have a great weekend! Matthew
💖
PHA = Peripheral heart action. Working the upper body then lower body - blood pumping from small to big muscles then reversed. Putting this here to remind myself what it is and to always know where I first learnt abt it. Building body and knowledge base with CG 💯
This was intense 😳 I used 20kg and 13kg DBs today. Certainly on my limit for this type of workout. The HR was definitely up peaked at 153. What I love is that I'm always challenged by these workouts and I challenge myself with my weight selection. I really appreciate what is produced daily for us and the effort that takes and after 2.5 years of solid gains I have nothing but repect for our mentor.
Hello from Silicon Valley California. Fantastic workout so now sharing with friends and family!!
Have a fun full body Friday everyone! Caroline thank you for making these wonderful workouts available for us! 😊
Thank you, I’ve had a brilliant workout...and yes big thank you to Caroline for everything!
Wow!! What a fantastic full body workout 🏋️♂️👊 . It really makes me happy and energised for the rest of the day . I personally like challenges drive my body to " the limit in a good way" . The last rep , the last pump ,breath out and DONE ✅ . The after glow for me is similar to my yoga practice and I enjoy every second . Caroline you are a such a incredible coach with all your well planned sets . Wish YOU and all the other Girvanators a nice rest day and lovely weekend with your loved ones 🧡😘
Loved this workout. Really enjoying the mix of cardio and weights. Thank you!
I literally never leave youtube comments - but Caroline you have supported me and so many other people around the world for so long now. I've done all of your programs and just embarking on this new one has given me so much joy. We are all so blessed that you are kind enough to share these amazing workouts. Lots of love and blessings, lets smash this everyone!
I don't really comment much on TH-cam either but while doing Epic 1 I wanted to be able to interact with everyone but it's lonely there because the majority moved on.
I was going to go straight into Epic 2 but my husband let me know this program just started so I am doing it because I like all the interacting here 😁
I'll do Epic 2 once Fuel finishes though.. I want to try to do all her workouts!
@@MysticDesertBreeze yeah I find her latest workouts are so much more sophisticated and superior to her older ones it's amazing honestly
Wow , these supersets are really amazing, always love them,, ❤️ and the killer abbs after are a burner ,, thank you Caroline for another amazing day
I am LOVING this new series! So inventive and new and challenging. My heart and muscles are pumping!!
I fell in love with the PHA format during the EPIC programmes, and I'm happy to see it back. It makes everything so much more challenging; the intensity is unbelievable! It seems we'll have super fun full-body sessions! Thanks, Caroline!
Wah … so tough! Couldn’t stop panting throughout ..
Just decided I am ready for you Caroline and started here! Loved this workout and looking forward to working out with you every day!
Wow, that was one of the hardest Friday workouts for a long time… thank goodness it’s a bank holiday not sure how I am going to cope next week. Love it thanks Caroline
I have done every program Caroline has blessed us with and it never ceases to amaze me how she can STILL find ways to kick my butt. This was a killer workout!!
Good Morning Everyone 😊 the variety in today's workout is amazing! I love how we will be alternating between the upper and lower body. Cannot wait to workout 😍
Morning Yasmine...so true...the variety in this workout is just brilliant...such absolutely fantastic planning from Caroline! You will just love it!
Caroline, I started your workouts around 2022. In October 2023 I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. After surgery I couldn’t wait to get back to your workouts. During chemo and radiation I tried my best to stick to your videos. I’m coming up on my one year anniversary and can just cry from how happy I am to be able to get back into it. Even with my inconsistency I’ve been able to get back into it and even increase my weights (just a little). I love how much my heart has to work to keep up. Thank you and God bless!!!❤❤❤❤
Woah. This is a new level of work from the Iron series, which is the only one I had previously done! My heart is definitely working hard, and my legs are shaking from all the reps and variety. Thanks for keeping things interesting and challenging CG!
this was awesome..I live this series and doubt will love what's to come .I can feel the difference from when I did epic 3 to epic heat ( which I'm still doing) to fuel..wow ..thank u Caroline again and again..I'll keep saying it..love this accomplished it today ..no modifying no taking a break.. good luck everybody Caroline you are fantastic I don't have words for what you have done for me except thank you
Just wow!!! 🔥 I know I got better today how about y’all!?! Another AMAZING Fuel work out she said as the sweat pored from her brow!! Loving the program Caroline!!! ♥️
Miss Caroline, I am not sure where can I shout out my joys and happiness for my own little progress/training from all your videos almost 1 year now, [to be exact 1 month into 12 months]. To others, it is very slow progress or it's nothing, but to myself, it's huge joy, I don't aim for fast progress, I try enjoy the process. After 11 months training with u, I managed to do a proper bodyweight Bulgarian lunge. It has taken me 11 months, (never lift weight in my life, carrying 1kg weight when first saw your beautiful face on you tube, to now able to carry 2x5kg for normal lunges) . Why am I so grateful for u? It's because even though I suffer from arthritis, sciolisos, not able to even cut a single carrot, or carry grocery bag, now i can do a Bulgarian lunge, I felt great,and a conquerer. My next task is able to get a full push up, might take a year or more,as long as I can gain strength. I miss u, we all miss u. Thank you from my bottom of my heart. Whether you will return for us, or not, I am still be grateful for all the free videos, the tips, and information you provided for us. You have saved part of my life. Thank you Caroline.
This was one of the most challenging workout I’ve done in a while! Absolutely loved every moment. So well thought out. Thank you SO much Caroline! Fuel is my absolute favourite only 4 days in. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you give us ❤️🔥
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!! Your are an angel Caroline
Awesome workout as usual! Thanks for helping me beat MS and Celiac disease one rep at a time!
Not sure if you will ever see this comment BUT I would just like to take a minute to say how much I appreciate you Caroline!!! Your workouts are top notch ….this workout was crazy insane hard!! The fuel program is so challenging for so many different reasons and I absolutely love it this is my second program with you and I will just continue to keep doing your programs they are so amazing thank you again!!!!!
Haha I’m technically staying up for Caroline’s new post!
Subsequent note: Day 4 full body done. Listened to Caroline and upped the weights used to IRON series and managed not having to die 👍🏼💪🏼😅. I returned to use the IRON weights level since Day 3. Guess my body must have adjusted to the new mechanism of the FUEL series!
Same
Thank you Caroline for the very detailed description at the start of this Full Body Friday workoutout 🙏🙂. It's fantastic of you to share the information and explain the research, reasons/science behind your sessions. The time you take to educate your community it exemplary and I for one applaud you for all you do for us so selflessly. 😔🙏👐.
Time to FUEL 🔥 up my mind and body and crack on with this Full Body Friday workoutout 👍✅💪.
Hi Philippa ☺️.... Well said, Caroline is a great professional! Her workouts are always perfectly designed! I enjoyed this full body, tough especially because it's fast and I kept my heavy dumbbells .... I love makers,... what a finish 😅!!! Have a lovely weekend 😊!!!
@@fiorellamartino7240 Hi Fiorella. So pleased you enjoyed this workout. Amazing to keep with your heavier weights well done 👍 . Maker is such a superb combination and used as the finisher it definitely hits the spot 👍👌for the whole body. Have a super day see you on Sunday for the first cardio workout of FUEL. I think it's going to be tough if this week is anytime to go by 🤔👋
So, I increased my weights today...really excited that I am getting stronger! Thank you, Caroline...😎That was a tough workout for me...I was making "Michael Jackson" squeals and some grunts in between😂🤣🤣 BUT knowing the rest of the Girvanators are in this helped me push through Well done, everyone and have a great weekend.
Smashing work out, time passed so quickly…especially during those 20 seconds of ”rest” 😉 Interesting to learn about PHA; Thank you Caroline and have a nice weekend everyone 🤗
I don't know why I LOOOOVE getting to do makers but always a way to feel really powerful when they pop up. This is going to be a fab Friday full body, but I really needed that rest day no question. Wonderful series so far Caroline!😅🌺🙏❤
Love Makers! The upperbody gets a great pump❤️
Proper night sleep, coffee, protein, bit of carbs and pleeeeentyyy of water are my FUEL for this workout! 💪 Thanks Caroline for the challenge!✨🎉🏆
That was so awesome and ensured it's hair washing day! Thank you for this amazing Fuel series, Caroline. I've loved every workout so much & can't wait to see what next week has in store. Happy Friday and have a great weekend, y'all! 🔥
Wish I could give this another thumbs up as I did it again today. Thank you Caroline
Full body Fri-yay! Typically the highlight of my week and this was no exception. Fabulous burn 🔥
Wow what an amazing full body strength workout!! Ty Caroline !!
What a workout!! Challenging but some
how do-able and such a sense of accomplishment at the end! Absolutely loving Fuel👍🏻👍🏻 xx
I read the education that you provided in your description. This is my 4th day. I’m excited to do the 5th day. Thank you Caroline! The finisher kicked my butt but I did not quite. God bless!
