    I’m not one to comment and, although I’m late for this challenge, I find myself NOT skipping days. This is the first time I have worked out daily and being truthful to myself. I still can’t do some of the exercises (pistol squats and push ups), but I’m here and I’m doing it for myself. Thank you so much for making this amazing program available ok RUclips.

    I had to start this over because of a car accident. I got to day 48 of this the first time and I cannot say enough of how much stronger I had gotten from the start to almost the finish. Now after 5 weeks off I am again getting stronger and for this almost 48-year-old grandma I may have to modify at times and hold the wall but thanks to Caroline I feel so much better physically and mentally! Thank you Caroline!! These workouts are amazing and I love to see the likes on these getting higher and higher from the first time I started last year!

      I hear you Amber. I always felt like I looked manly with muscle too but Caroline has changed that perception for me too. Now when I look at other "fit" RUclipsrs who I used to follow before Caroline, they don't look as strong to my anymore (no hate to anyone). I no longer worry how my outside looks anymore either because nothing feels as good as feeling STRONG and knowing I can DO strong things!
      And way to go! Keep it up Amber. You're doing amazing too. :)

    I always injure my shoulder doing push-ups, even on my knees and I've tried many many times over the years and get the same pain. I did P90X around 10 years ago and injured my shoulder with all the push-ups in that program.
    I do chest presses instead holding 14kg in each hand, sometimes needing to go down to 12kg. As an alternative to the decline angle I used my stepper and it's raisers to create do incline presses. I know it's just not the same but at least I am trying.
    For the "renegade row with push-ups" I did double renegade rows on each side until time was up.
    For the "plank side to push-up" I did 20 seconds of angled chest presses then 20 seconds alternating plank sides.
    It took me two hours to get through the workout because of setting things up and/or taking extra breaks but I pushed through and got it done!

    Accidentally started Epic day 6 from Epic beginner 1-5. Didnt notice I was on the legit Epic journey until day 7 because it was longer than I’m used to. When I saw an hour workout for today I tried using every excuse to validate going back to the beginner series, the length was scary. I mentally quit 30 times for a half second through the first half of today but then something happened- I felt that I was in the beginning of something great and I was excited to keep going and pushing my limits. When the last alarm buzzed I wept for another half second and congratulated myself. Caroline, I know you cant hear me when I curse you and laugh with you but thank you for guiding me on this awesome adventure into my strength. For each day I am a little stronger from your kindness and knowledge. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

    Hey guys! Please read.
    10 days ago, my parents tested positive for covid, and thus they were isolated in their room, and my brother and i were taking care of them while following all the precautions.
    Today, my parents tested negative (rapid antigen test), my brother tested positive, while i tested negative.
    I know it's only a matter of time till i'll be positive. I'm isolating myself in my room (attached bathroom and balcony). But i don't want to stop working out. Working out is one of my anchors. I'm gonna continue working out.
    But the thing is that we only have a limited number of weights at our home. So my brother has kept all the 5kg plates, and i have four 2.5kg plates with me in my room.
    I want to continue this challenge, but i think i'll have to switch to some other workouts for a while.
    I also have a jumprope, and resistance bands with me in my room.
    I'll appreciate it if any of you could leave some workout recommendations for me in the replies! Thank you so much in advance!

      Sorry to hear this. You can easily do this bodyweight! I KNOW you will still get a great burn! Before Epic Caroline’s Friday workouts were usually bodyweight and they were still killer. Just slow the movements down. You don’t need to stop this program! Or use the light weights - or water bottles, etc. Good luck and stay healthy!

    What a great way to start my Saturday, was up before the sun and ready to sweat by 7. I enjoyed watching it get lighter and by the time I was done I was filled with JOY! My dream is to one day be able to do the pistol squats. I make a gesture that looks awfully like one but at 62 and never have it had any experience in stretching/dance etc, it is going to take me some time... but ANYTHING is possible. SO grateful for your workouts. I’ll take tomorrow off (try out our new spin bike) and hit EPIC 10 on Monday. Hope you get some days of rest too, with your loved ones, Caroline. Blessings from BC Canada!

Before I became Ill 2 years ago I was pretty fit with swimming, gym and running but although I obviously am not fit anymore I still think I would of struggled with your workouts.

Really irks me to see anyone disliking this workout. Seems it would only be if it was too advanced to be able to do and in that case dont do it....there are tons of other Caroline workouts to choose from. I am a chiropractor and have knowledge of the body. This is safe and effective. One must listen to their body and keep good form though. Otherwise any exercise can cause injury. Also there is lots of opportunity to modify any exercise and still get excellent benefits! Thank you Caroline!!!

    Difficult Part:
    -Entire elevated push up section. I could do a few at a time though, so I'm happy about that!
    Favorite Part:
    - I don't have one today because I didn't complete the full workout. While doing the single arm press with my gallon water bottle, it fell out my hand and exploded everywhere 😖. After cleaning up I was just done lol. I will try again tmrw. Gallon bottles are really only good for weighted squats or rows. Anything else feels weird on my wrists OR you might drop the bottle and spill water everywhere 😅💕.

    I'm proud because as of yesterday and today, I've used my 15 pound dumbbells for all exercises! I started with 15 for legs and 8 for arms since the most arm work I've ever done was cardio or pilates with 3 pounders and even that felt a bit much sometimes. But I think it's already time for the 8's to retire! Wish I got more use out of them but so proud of the progress. I will probably need to go up soon but want to give it another week or two with this weight so I don't put too much stress on my tendons while my muscles get stronger. Also am I the only one that absolutely cannot do a pistol squat despite being able to do all of the parts of the move separately. Wild! Maybe one day!

I didn’t want to post anything until I did more than a few of her workouts. So that said, OMG SHE IS EPIC AND SO IS THE PROGRAM. I love how compassionate she is with her knowledge and kicks my azz every single time. Yet I get excited to do another workout the next day. I’m not here to lose a bunch of weight but I need to tone from head to toe and she does it all. Also as strong and muscular she is she also needs to stop to rest , which proves we are all human. Thank you soo soo much for your passion and giving us your time for this free EPIC program. I can not wait to see my results at the end ❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️

    I wasn't feeling all that optimistic going into this workout and I actually realised I'd been procrastinating beforehand because I'm still sore from upper body yesterday.
    All I can say is: time flew by and stopped during some exercises, but I loved it.
    this was so much fun and I feel so accomplished, even if it took me 20 minutes longer than it should have, I'm so glad I did this when I did. And I can already feel and see improvements in my form and body awareness, balance and coordination. But what I'm most impressed by and grateful for is that I can feel a mental shift happening in terms of how I talk to myself and and willingness to try new things despite not being sure if I can do them. That's the real victory for me.
    As always, Caroline: thank you for a wonderful workout and for all your efforts and positivity. You are one of a kind.
    Much love from South Africa
