I’d love to see a pregnancy update photo
Reverse plank step outs are very difficult. Especially on the left leg where I have hamstring pain. The pain was aggravated during the step out as well as the leg series when I left my left leg. Any suggestions to rehab or modify?
I love your workouts. Thank yo for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Day 1 – awesome! Thank you for your continued commitment to sharing your workouts – especially now with COVID-19 and being stuck at home!
