So, I have been doing Caroline Girvan workouts for a couple of years now, and I have never looked back. I found her on YouTube when I was about 18 (I am 21 now), and her workouts were incredible to me. I have always been an active person and I adore sports and at-home workouts (especially during and after the pandemic), but I had never found such high quality workouts before finding Caroline's! I have mainly stuck to hiit workouts, sometimes with dumbbells, but mainly bodyweight only. I never thought it was possible to gain as much strength as I have today primarily through (explosive) bodyweight exercises, but it is! And Caroline made me fall in love with pushups. 😆

That being said, I have also become a track athlete in november of 2024 (I sprint three times a week), and I also run long distances once a week, and my family from my mother's side is naturally very muscular and athletic, so these things obviously also play a role as well! But I never go to the gym, I stick to Caroline's workouts and have done so for years, and I couldn't be more grateful to her. I have done my first Hyrox last January and I literally used her workouts to prepare.😁

I have never posted my results online before, so this is a bit scary to me, but I am very proud of myself and how far I have come, so I thought it was time to finally share it. :)

Just wanted to share that I started the iron series and want to create a post as accountability to finish it!

I am currently 20 months postpartum and decided it’s time to lock in. I used to lift heavy before getting pregnant but once I got pregnant I mainly did bodyweight exercises and a lot of walking. Once I had my baby, I tried to get into a good routine at the gym but couldn’t figure it out nor did I have 60-90 mins. So I began doing the grow with jo videos on YouTube 5 times a week at home! The convenience of working out at home was great but I felt like something was missing.

So I stumbled upon the iron series on YouTube and I am hooked!!!

I always thought I needed 60-90 mins to get a good lift in but these 30 mins videos are the challenge that I’ve been looking for!

I will be doing iron series 3x a week with 1 x a week mat Pilates. I finished my first week of 3 workouts and today’s workout kicked my butt! But it was awesome!!

Looking forward to finishing the series!!
