That’s awesome thanks Joey, will do 😄

Hi Joey, I’ve never done this cardio workout before because it is basic and I thought it wouldn’t be challenging enough for me, but I was very wrong and I underestimated it, it is challenging (I felt it through my legs, stomach and shoulders and it definitely raised my heart rate) and I went through it twice to feel like I had done more of a workout (as like you say, you can go through it again or as many times as you want, to feel like you have done a cardio workout) I usually do the 20 min LIIT Total Body Intermediate cardio session, but sometimes I don’t always feel like I have the energy for that one (maybe my weights are too heavy - I use an 8.8 lb dumbbell in each hand for the step up and down move, and an 8.8 lb medicine ball for the V-Draw and TBUD move) I’m just checking that if I add the cardio basic session to my weekly workout routine sometimes instead of the 20 min LIIT Intermediate session, will it be enough of a fat burning and cardio workout compared to the 20 min LIIT intermediate session that I normally do? 

Wow the chocolate looks delicious 😋

I’m not sure if I can buy it in the UK 🤔

Joey Atlas that’s great to know, thank you Joey 😊

Hi Joey, I always find these 2 sessions (Part 1 and Part 2) very challenging and I’m just wondering if it should be getting easier, as I have been doing your style of training for well over 4 years. I can never go through it a second time, and I usually have a break before I do part 2. (I’m absolutely pooped afterwards 🤣)

I don’t do this session every week as I rotate other lower body sessions as not to get bored with the same session, sometimes it might be 2 or 3 weeks before I do this session again, so whether that has an impact I’m not sure 🤔

I do use ankle weights on the the leg lift and the half circle draw and the outer thigh moves on part 2)

I’m definitely so much stronger than when I first started which is great so maybe I don’t need to worry 😊

I am just looking for your thoughts please Joey 😊

Hi Joey, thank you for your response 😊

I had a feeling it was normal to feel it in the hamstrings, but just wanted to check with you and I’m glad that’s it’s fine to vary the position and how far away my heels are from my body 😊

The ab exercises where I feel it on the fronts of my legs (front thighs) is the second and last move in the video;- The one where 1 leg is straight up in the air and the other bent but I feel it in the leg I raise down to the floor and back up, and the other exercise I feel it in is in the last move in this video, where you stretch 1 leg to the floor and back, I feel the work in my abs but also my front thigh that stretches out and back in (so the moving leg on both exercises is where I feel it) I hope that makes sense?

Sending much love back 🤗

Hi Joey, I just did this workout twice through, and I’ve always wondered but didn’t post to ask before, but are you meant to feel the reverse plank in the hamstrings? As I really feel it a lot there when I lift up and hold in that position, (probably more than my back) and I notice that the move feels different depending on how far away my heels are from my body, and I’m also wondering if it’s ok to vary that position? or does your heels have to be a certain distance away from you?

Also is it normal for your front thighs to ache on the exercises where you’re one knee is bent and kept there? as mine aches

Kind Regards

Louise

Joey Atlas My lower body feels good and like it had a good workout yesterday and I can feel it in my hamstrings but I’m not aching as much as I thought I would. Thank you for asking Joey 😊

Wow what a challenging workout this one is Joey 😲😓🤪

I did have to pause in between, but I do still find that I have to do that with most of your workouts anyway as they always remain challenging, but I know they work and are so effective 🥰and I try to use ankle weights where I can on the floor moves too.

I don’t think I’ve hardly done this one before Joey, I don’t know why but I will be incorporating this one more into my LB workouts. Thank you always for creating these and continuing to help and inspire me, sending much love 😚🩷

I absolutely love the walk through recipes Joey because you show us exactly what you eat, and I like that you show us exactly what ingredients you use which gives us good ideas on what to use for our own recipes 😊 I would love to see more of these and it would be awesome to see more desserts with some of my favourite ingredients like 70% chocolate (or darker) coconut oil, coconut sugar and various nut butters like cashew, peanut or almond 😋😋 Thank you for all that you do Joey 😁
