They did it!!! The Challengers royally kicked ass FGs! ROYALLY KICKED ASS!!!!! Here’s the last bit of feedback, you’re gonna wish ya did it!!
Challenger Jo:
Wow, that four week challenge really kicked my butt, but in a good way! I won’t say it was all fun along the way (burpees – aargh!) but the short workouts have really worked to get me in shape. At the moment I’m training for a half marathon so need to get a fair bit of running in which doesn’t give me much time to crosstrain and tone up in other areas so these short bursts were perfect. I could fit them into my lunch break so had no excuses to ditch one. I was sceptical at first at how much I could really get done in 20 minutes, but because you’re working hard all the way through you really work your whole body. Four weeks later and I’ve managed to lose that stubborn half a stone that I’ve been trying to get rid of for ages, my shoulder and ab muscles are really showing through and I’m much more confident about the prospect of fitting into a bikini. Can’t wait to go on holiday somewhere sunny now. If only there was such a quick fix way to earn more money as well so I could afford it!! I’ve got all four weeks of workouts saved now and will carry on rotating them as I think they really work. So thanks Fit Girl!! This was the perfect way to get me my summer body. Now just let the sunshine come out for a bit longer!!

At last week 4 and the end is in sight! So this week starts off with the Overhead Lunges which aren’t too bad although this maybe due to me still using my make shift weights (the cider vinegar bottles) but at least it gives me some resistance! I really must invest in some proper weights! Then the dreaded double whammie exercise back for a 2nd week with the press up burpee! Not just 1 and build up each time but 5 from the word go! Lucky we are in the 4th week of this summer work out. Yes I’m finding it tough but I can’t imagine how hard I would have found this in week 1! Jelly jelly on a plate yep that is my planking…. always leaves me wobbling but after this week and the number of times I have done this 60 seconds is passing by and the jelly is becoming more and more set and not quite so wobbly which is fab just like my abs 
! I’ve been thinking about the sessions and I actually think I will miss them…liar do I here you say?!?… in fact I think I might try and keep them up. I feel so much better for just 20 mins 3 times a week it can’t be that hard to put that into my routine! Let me at least try for the next 4 weeks. It is still apparently summer after all!
Challenger Kaye:
I can’t believe the 4-week challenge is over! I’ve really loved it, so much so that I’ll be keeping up the workouts during my regular gym time. It’s been challenging but manageable, and so easy to fit in 3 times a week. I’ve noticed the difference mostly in my arms, legs and shoulders, and my stomach feels tighter too, so I can’t wait hit the beach next week! Thanks so much FG, you can definitely count me in for the next challenge!
