10 Min TWISTED ABS Workout at Home - No Equipment / No Repeat Caroline Girvan 2024-10-22 | 10 Min TWISTED ABS Workout at Home - No Equipment / No Repeat
1 hour bodyweight full body workout | Calisthenic clusters Caroline Girvan 2024-05-03 | I hope you are doing great wherever you are right this moment!I know that many of you visit this page for perhaps your favourite workout you love to revisit, or are currently somewhere along within a program, or are joining me in the currently ongoing Intent Program on the CGX platform! But no matter how, when, why and what you are training, I want to thank you for the support you have shown. By joining me in my home, it has led to the organic growth of this channel. This is represented by the continuing number of views on each workout, the continued growth of YouTube, the CGX app celebrating its first anniversary and the incredible place that is the Facebook private community which today has over 225k members! Wow! And this is all because of you.Here, we are 3 million people who enjoy variety alongside the fundamentals, who feel strong through highlighting weakness, seek out the challenge as opposed to the easy path as it relates to lifting, and continue to learn the power of delayed gratification, are looking to progress, not seeking perfection and are simply trying their best every day in their own way. At the end of the day, we are all just trying to find our way.I am proud to be part of this and I have said before, but the fact that you join me from all across the globe to my wee home, my living room…that you choose to train alongside me as I show my vulnerability and weaknesses, I am genuinely honoured so thank you.I hope you enjoy exploring this workout, use it to practice certain movement patterns, work to help improve mobility, increase your mind to muscle awareness, heighten your alignment & spacial awareness and bring the tension to those muscles! And it is this tension and reaching the point where you can do no more quality reps (or ‘close to’) that send the signal to grow…this makes sense as we can build muscle in many ways.But really? At-home workouts build muscle?Yes! Once you learn the principles of hypertrophy, these can be applied to a vast range of training methods and movements.Let’s compare; bench pressing one’s own body weight and a pushup? One single bodyweight push-up is not equal to having our bodyweight in kgs on the bar… when we perform a push-up, we aren't pushing ALL of our bodyweight up. How much am I pushing up? A study (1) measuring different push-ups showed that regular push-ups equal approx 65% of our bodyweight…if you weigh 70kg this amounts to approx 46kg of actual load being pushed up…meaning applying an additional load of 24kg to equal total bodyweight…. Or manipulate angle to floor to increase load.A push-up will require more abdominal recruitment and more retraction & protraction (great for shoulder health). However, the limitations are that it may be impractical/risky to attempt the same load of bench press in a weighted push-up due to load distribution across the back.And with all things equal, such as ROM, etc, they both can build muscle the same! This has been shown in studies and it makes sense…mechanical tension is the main driver for hypertrophy. We can build muscle dumbbell bicep curling in our living room or standing in a gym, or even deficit push-ups in our living room compared to benching in a gym..so long as the intensity is there and even up to approx 30 reps!If lower body, I tend to favour unilateral movements to increase the tension. Targeting the back & biceps is challenging without equipment, i.e. a pull-up bar or bands. Rest day from the weights! Psychologically perhaps easier… but physiologically not necessarily any easier and, in my experience, sometimes more challenging in its own way!EQUIPMENT:BENCH / CHAIRMATGLUTE BANDHAMSTRING BALL / SLIDERS /TRX HAMSTRING CURLSYOGA BLOCK*WEDGES**OptionalTIMER:The timer will be set for a longer set, followed by shorter cluster sets following the straight set! The cluster sets will generally be a slight variation from the straight set that was performed prior.I hope you feel amazing after these 60 minutes and are proud of what your body and mind can do. Sure there is plenty we can’t do. We all have things we can’t do…but we can change our focus to what we CAN do.CxYou can visit web.cgx.tv to see my web platform, along with more information and support! Also available on iOS & Android.I would recommend taking advantage of the 14-day trial to see how it fits into your lifestyle and how you like to train!

20 MIN Dumbbell Full Body Workout - Compound Movements | NO REPEAT Caroline Girvan 2022-10-09 | A perfect no repeat full body workout involves compound movements that affect many muscles within each rep!Quads, hamstrings, glutes, shoulders, back and chest will be placed under load in this session. The biceps & triceps, core and abdominal muscles are all required to assist in performing these movements.All you will need for this workout is some weights and your mat!The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 2 x 15kg each for most of the workout. Towards the end, I will also use 2 x 7.5kg dumbbells for the shoulders and abs portion!The timer will be on for 40 seconds per exercise, followed by 20 seconds of rest for most of this session. However, the abs & core specific at the end is simply 60 seconds in duration, each with no clear rest in between the two last exercises.2 x 15kgSINGLE ARM BENT OVER ROWSWITCH SIDE!FRONT RACK SQUATCHEST PRESSSTATIC LUNGE (one side)SWITCH SIDE!RENEGADE ROWALTERNATING REAR LUNGESPULLOVERRDLPUSH UPS1 x 15kgCLOSE STANCE SQUAT2 x 7.5kgSHOULDER PRESSREAR STEP FWD LEAN LUNGE (one side)SWITCH SIDE!2 x 7.5kgLAT SWEEPS1 x 15kgGOBLET SQUAT2 x 7.5kgUPRIGHT ROW60/no rest2 x 7.5kgALTERNATING DEADBUG601 x 7.5kgTOE REACH TO LEG LOWERThis is a great, shorter duration and efficient session to work all the major muscle groups in the body to promote muscle building.Perfect for regularly returning when you have 20 minutes and want a solid full body session.I hope you treat each set with intensity and intention…and you’ll have a super session!Cx
Caroline Girvan Q&A | Training Tips and Mindset Caroline Girvan 2022-07-29 | Hello everyone!I hope you are doing great! This is just a wee sit down as time passes very quickly, and I realise it’s been a while since I sat down and talked to you as opposed to a quick talk during intro pre-workout!I cover some questions that regularly appear within the Facebook Group facebook.com/groups/carolinegirvan and those I have received over the years during my time as a one-on-one personal trainer.00:00 - Introduction00:26 - I want to 'tone' but not get bulky?01:35 - Higher reps or lower reps? 02:51 - Cardio compared to lifting?05:39 - Is it normal to feel aggravation in the lower back during some movements?06:08 - Is it ok to perform a movement slightly different from someone else?08:24 - Fed or fasted cardio?09:19 - Training during perimenopause and menopause?10:47 - Am I progressively overloading my muscles during these workouts?13:21 - I can't seem to perform a movement 'perfectly’?15:36 - Should I do HIIT even if I don't like it?16:44 - Is tracking necessary?20:43 - Should I take a pre-workout before training?20:58 - When is the best time to eat?22:01 - Can sleep affect hunger?22:40 - How much protein should I eat per day?23:03 - Why hasn't my weight on the scale gone down, but my clothes feel looser in places?24:15 - Are scales a useful tool to measure progress?27:17 - What is the best diet? Optimal diet? Best exercise?29:53 - Won't eating after 6 pm lead to weight gain?30:10 - How do you keep motivated?31:36 - What is the best tip you could give?The more I have learnt over the years, the more I realise we have yet so much more to learn. There are many layers to what is considered ‘optimal’ wellness as it is a balance of different dimensions, not just physical but also emotionally, socially, our environment and learning. The word balance is often cited yet this refers to a balance that is best for you as an individual. We all have different passions, goals, beliefs, priorities, personalities and I believe it is important to not become overly influenced by what is right for others as it might not be what you truly want, need or will find rewarding. Having fun with your training and movement whether you have a goal of growing your shoulders, building a more v taper, more muscle in your glutes, sub 4 hour marathon target or PB on your barbell squat is so rewarding but remembering that progression is not linear day on day or week on week will allow you to celebrate those small wins that all add up!A place to begin is the fundamentals! And it can be challenging when there are much conflicting information and bold statements everywhere. Some of the discussion is quite general whilst other topics may not be as relevant to you or of less interest as other parts of the discussion.But I hope this Q and A simply opens thinking relating to some topics and something you could elaborate on upon reflection.Studies are always ongoing, and the incredible researchers not only ask the questions with research proposals but plan, conduct, collect, monitor, organise, record, analyse and interpret the findings to generate new knowledge to enhance society. And I love learning something new from them every day! I hope you enjoy this Q & A and perhaps find some information useful to you.CxReferencesAlan Albert Aragon & Brad Jon Schoenfeld (2013) Nutrient timing revisited:is there a post-exercise anabolic window?High load vs low load for hypertrophy pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25853914Effect of physical activity on menopause and mental wellbeing journals.lww.com/menopausejournal/Fulltext/2020/04000/The_role_of_physical_activity_in_the_link_between.6.aspxMayoclinic Menopause advicemayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/womens-health/in-depth/fitness-tips-for-menopause/art-20044602Body composition changes assoc. fasted versus non-fasted aerobic exercisencbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4242477Walking for Health NHSnhs.uk/live-well/exercise/running-and-aerobic-exercises/walking-for-health……………………………………………………………DisclaimerIf you are new to exercise or are planning on beginning a new fitness programme, you should consult your physician.

FUEL Series Finale 30 Min NO REPEAT Dumbbell HIIT Workout | Day 30 Caroline Girvan 2022-07-10 | Here we go! 40 exercises, 30 seconds of work, 15 seconds of rest… I’ve got my 2 x 6kgs ready to rock day 30!No repeat, so mentally, you know we are only doing each movement once! The timer will be on for the majority of the workout, 30 seconds of work, with 15 seconds of rest!However, we have some time on the mat for abs and core work, so the timer there will be 45 seconds with no specific rest in between!The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 2 x 6kg throughout!UNEVEN SQUAT TO PRESSSAME SIDE SNATCH!UNEVEN SQUAT TO PRESSSAME SIDE SNATCH!SQUAT TO CURTSEYSWITCH SIDE!LUNGE TO CURTSEYSWITCH SIDE!PLANK TO SIDE PLANKSWITCH SIDE!RENEGADE ROW TO TUCKTUCK TO CURLTUCK TO CURL TO SQUATHIGH SQUATSMAKERREAR LUNGESALTERNATING ROWSALTERNATING FWD LUNGESSUPINE ROWALTERNATING CURTSEY LUNGESSQUAT TO PRESSCLEAN TO SQUAT TO PRESSCLEAN TO PRESSPUSH PRESSCLEAN45/45…RUSSIAN TWISTSIT UP TO RUSSIAN TWISTDOUBLE DEADBUGSTRAIGHT LEG DEADBUGTOE REACH TO LOWERTOE REACHSQUAT TO ALT ROTATE PRESSSTAGG SQUAT TO ARNOLD PRESSSWITCH SIDE!X1 ARM PUSH PRESS (switch side)SWITCH SIDE!CHEST TO FLOOR TO DEADLIFTX1 DB BURPEE (one side)SWITCH SIDE!X2 DUMBBELL BURPEEFINISHER!60 SECONDS CHEST TO FLOOR BURPEES!This entire series, and every series/program I have completed with you, I genuinely have had fun during every single session! I never once thought, ‘I wish I hadn’t done that workout!’ Finishing every session is always so worth the hard work!Six weeks, countless sprawls and very rewarding moments stretching on the mat after! Fuel has been exactly as I hoped…variety in every way yet structured to improve overall performance.Fuel, for me, has been one of the most fun yet demanding series so far… or is it part of that maybe because I progressively can push myself that bit more, mentally having the confidence? Many ask which program/series is the most challenging? I would say the answer ‘depends!’ Suppose you are used to lifting in a more ‘traditional’ format. In that case, you might prefer Iron due to the familiarity and having little experience with burpees, so Fuel might not be your preference… and may feel more mentally or physically challenging for that reason! Likewise, you might love the feeling of that once-weekly HIIT workout where your heart is spiked, bringing its benefits, and so the EPIC programs where HIIT is only once per week in a specific session might be your favourite! Either way, I hope Fuel was as fun for you as it has been for me. And you know you are in the zone, and training hard when dropping the dumbbells to go into burpees is a relief! 😆Thank you for reading this, thank you for your support and thank you for joining me.I hope whatever you decide to do next brings you excitement, continued progress and plenty of those moments of pure pride at what you have accomplished!

FUEL Series 30 Min NO REPEAT Full Body Workout | Day 29 Caroline Girvan 2022-07-08 | No repeat but as always, this doesn’t mean random movements ‘thrown together’… these exercises are programmed to provide intensity to a group of muscles but rest to that area at other times… even though no repeat, it will consist of repetitional reps towards those muscles! For this workout, you will need some dumbbells, your mat, a chair for Bulgarian lunges and a stepper/yoga block/wedge for heel elevated squats. I also use 2 yoga blocks for deeper push ups but you can absolutely perform regular push ups or use push-up bars to deepen the range if you like!The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 2 x 10kg!The timer will be on for a majority of the work 45 seconds of work with 15 seconds of rest!

FUEL Series 30 Min POSTERIOR CHAIN CLUSTERS Workout | Day 28 Caroline Girvan 2022-07-06 | This workout is aimed at the hamstrings, glutes and entire back muscles using bodyweight and dumbbells. Mainly compound movements to recruit as many muscles during a rep with various tempos, timings, positioning, and changes in dynamics, including ‘explosive’, short bursts, longer sustained efforts or isometrics!The timer will be on for various durations per set. However, there is a structured format throughout; we will perform a specific movement for 60 seconds with 20 seconds of rest, and we will then perform a similar movement or the same for another three sets. Yet, the duration will either be 20 seconds of work with 20 seconds rest or 30 seconds of work with 10 seconds rest! Although it might sound a bit confusing, it will all be clearly shown on the screen, so simply follow along! There is a staple three times during this workout with 20 seconds per part to make a superset!

FUEL Series 30 Min Full Body DUMBBELL HIIT CARDIO Workout | Day 25 Caroline Girvan 2022-07-03 | Ready for the sweat!?The timer will be on for short periods of work lasting 20 seconds each with 10 seconds of rest in between! We simply perform an exercise for 2 short sets then we have a longer set (60 seconds) of a ‘complementary’ exercise! You will notice during the 20 seconds work period, these are bodyweight only and so can perform at that slightly faster pace! Once we reach the 60 seconds work period, we will have dumbbell(s) in our hands so naturally, we will slow down that bit during many of these periods!

FUEL Series 30 Min Dumbbell LEG DAY CIRCUITS Workout | Day 21 Caroline Girvan 2022-06-27 | One circuit! Two rounds! A lot of work is required from the entire lower body! Ready to smash this leg day?!All you will need for this workout is some dumbbells and your mat!The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 2 x 15kg each throughout!You can absolutely use a barbell, kettlebell or various dumbbell weights throughout denoting the movement!The timer will be on for 60 seconds for a majority of the sets, and some of these 60 second sets will be split into 3 x 20 seconds to make essentially a triset! Every time this occurs, the first 20 seconds will be exactly the same as the last 20 seconds! There will also be very short sets lasting only 20 seconds periods of work in here too to elevate the heart rate in spikes!There will be 20 seconds of rest throughout in between sets!The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 2 x 15kg each! Low impact alternatives are shown throughout but this doesn’t mean it’s any easier! As always, make it your own workout! You might squat lower than me, not so low, prefer a slower pace or slightly faster! So long as you feel in control and prevent strain. Acute stress on the body can be a good thing so think about that when feeling the work on the legs at points but the lower back shouldn’t be feeling any strain. Drop to bodyweight only at ANY POINT!What you see on screen is how I perform the movements and have tweaked these over 20 years to feel good for me. We all have our own preferences such as whether to hold dumbbells high or low, foot stance, depth etc. A perfect example is actually lateral raises… recently I have just preferred lighter than I used to! I may prefer slightly heavier in future but for now, I prefer lighter. It’s important to learn the basics and then make adjustments as you progress if you like!Sometimes I hold dumbbells low by sides during lunges and other times high… no particular reason but I do ensure holding low sometimes to improve grip strength! These workouts will demonstrate the technique required however remember I am performing for myself also and these are not me recording a few reps then resting…I’m in the midst of it with you from start to finish!😅 CIRCUIT!

FUEL Series 30 Min GLUTES & HAMSTRING CIRCUITS Workout | Day 18 Caroline Girvan 2022-06-22 | This is one of those workouts that require focus! Intentional lifting and controlling each rep in a way that suits you and your body.It’s a great workout to gain more skill at manipulating movements to involve more glutes and hamstrings over the quads by using different foot stances, angles of forward tilting at the hips and also those more explosive lifts that, even though they are faster-paced to lift as in the ‘explosive’ hip thrusts, reiterate the difference of full contraction at the top can have on a movement and the muscles involved! We have one big circuit! We complete it for two rounds in total! The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 2 x 15kg for the RDLs and 1 x 30kg for the sumo deadlifts and hip thrusts!Aside from dumbbells, you will need a glute band and a chair/bench for hip thrusts!

A very intense 30 minutes but very focused and formatted in a way to produce a lot of stimulus! These 30 minutes, I can pretty much guarantee you will get a lot out of it! The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 2 x 15kg for the first giant set and finisher!I also use 2 x 8kg for the shoulder pressing and bicep curls.I then use 2 x 4kg towards the end for laterals, frontals and rear delts!Aside from dumbbells, you will also need a chair/bench for dips, or you can use your dip bars if you have them! I will be using a chair today!The timer will be on for 30 seconds per exercise with each giant set, and four exercises will make up each giant set! We then have 30 seconds in between, and we will need that 30 seconds rest!We perform each giant set for two sets!

FUEL Series 30 Min Dumbbell FULL BODY TEMPO Workout | Day 14 Caroline Girvan 2022-06-17 | Tempo… it’s going to be a fun 30 minutes! Slower-paced reps, isometrics, movements requiring explosive drive and others more momentum and plenty of ‘deadstop’ movements involving control to lower, a temporary release of muscular contraction before bracing & driving through the movement! For this session, you will need some dumbbells, your mat, a yoga block/small stepper/wedge to elevate heels and also that front foot during lunges.A box is also used during this workout for step ups so an alternative is a stepper or stable chair to step onto. Every step up is bodyweight so you won’t be holding a weight.The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 2 x 15kg each. I also use 1 x 10kg for the shoulder pressing! The timer will be on for 30 seconds per exercise within each superset so essentially 60 seconds of work before a 20 second rest!2 x 15kgDEADSTOP CHEST PRESSCHEST PRESSDEADSTOP CHEST PRESSCHEST PRESSDEADSTOP PUSH UPSALTERNATING HAND OFF PUSH UP‘SLOW’ HEEL ELEVATED SQUATSREGULAR SQUAT TEMPO!‘SLOW’ HEEL ELEVATED SQUATSREGULAR SQUAT TEMPO!‘SLOW’ BODYWEIGHT ONLYFASTER TEMPO FULL RANGE!STAPLE!‘SLOW’ STEP UPFORWARD LEAN 1/2 REP (same side)SLOW’ STEP UP (switch side)FORWARD LEAN 1/2 REP (same side)SINGLE ARM DEADSTOP ROW ROW (same side)DEADSTOP ROW (switch)ROW (same side)DEADSTOP ROW (switch)MOMENTUM ROW (same side)DEADSTOP ROW (switch)MOMENTUM ROW (same side)DEADSTOP LUNGESTATIC LUNGE (same side)DEADSTOP LUNGE (switch)STATIC LUNGE (same side)STAPLE!‘SLOW’ STEP UPFORWARD LEAN 1/2 REP (same side)SLOW’ STEP UP (switch side)FORWARD LEAN 1/2 REP (same side)1 x 10kgSHOULDER PRESSPUSH PRESS (same side)SHOULDER PRESS (switch)PUSH PRESS (same side)ARNOLD PRESS (switch)SNATCH (same side)ARNOLD PRESS (switch)SNATCH (same side)FINISHER!45/30/45‘SLOW’ x1 REP SQUATFASTER PACE!‘SLOW’ x1 REP SQUATSLOW’ x1 REP PUSH UPFASTER PACE!‘SLOW’ x1 REP PUSH UPIf this finisher doesn’t deplete your muscles…I don’t know what to say! 😅 This was so much fun even through the shaking! 😆 All good fun!!

You know by the title, this format is going to be an awesome session for the entire lower body…with a focus on the glutes & hamstrings!The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 1 x 30kg for the staple and 1 x 15kg for everything else!

As with most workouts, there is a lot of cross-over but it will be your hamstrings and glutes that will dominate!

FUEL Series 30 Min ANTAGONIST UPPER BODY Workout | Day 12 Caroline Girvan 2022-06-14 | Ready to push and pull through the next 30 minutes with some staple compound lifts combined with tempo work, isometrics and bodyweight exercises! The finisher will be surprisingly tough as we will have depleted our muscles! It’s a fun one though!😅The timer will be on for 45 seconds per exercise within each superset. We have 30 seconds of rest in between every completed superset!The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 2 x 15kg, 2 x 8kg and 2 x 4kg each. The specific supersets for these weights are detailed below to help you decide your weight if you sometimes use my weights to gauge! PLEASE NOTE: I would likely have gone for 2 x 17.5kg as opposed to 2 x 15kg, but I went with the lower weight because I am doing bodyweight dips on the bars later in the workout. I sometimes do dips on the chair, and I would go slightly heavier during the initial compound movements.Every time the staple of slow lateral raises and slightly faster-paced raises appear, I will be using the 2 x 4kg dumbbells!2 x 15kgDEADSTOP CHEST PRESSBENT OVER ROWCHEST PRESSSUPINE ROWSTAPLE 2 x 4kgSLOW LATERAL RAISES‘FASTER’ REPS!DIAMOND PRESS x2 DUMBBELLSPAUSED PULLOVERSDIAMOND PRESS x1 DUMBBELLPULLOVERSSTAPLE 2 x 4kgSLOW LATERAL RAISES‘FASTER’ REPS!SLOW PUSH UPSPAUSED RENEGADE ROWSPUSH UPSRENEGADE ROWSSTAPLE 2 x 4kgSLOW LATERAL RAISES‘FASTER’ REPS!2 x 8kgSLOW DIPSPALMS UP CURLDIPSHAMMER CURLSTAPLE 2 x 4kgSLOW LATERAL RAISES‘FASTER’ REPS!2 x 4kgLAT SWEEP HOLD (lower every 15 sec)HIGH FRONTAL RAISE (SLOW)LAT SWEEPFRONTAL RAISE TO SHOULDER HEIGHTSTAPLE 2 x 4kgSLOW LATERAL RAISES‘FASTER’ REPS!FINISHER!45/45/30/30REVERSE SNOW ANGELDEADSTOP PUSH UPREVERSE SNOW ANGELDEADSTOP PUSH UPI can’t wait to hear how you smash through this session!

FUEL Series 30 Min LEGS CLUSTER SETS Workout | Day 11 Caroline Girvan 2022-06-13 | Maybe different to other lower body workouts, this is all short sets with short rest… but this doesn’t mean ‘rushing’ the reps or as many reps as possible! In fact quite the opposite! Perfect form keeping in mind you have only a short work period!Every muscle in the lower body will have attention and work together to move through the movements!The timer will be on for a majority of the workout 30 seconds of work with 15 seconds rest in between! The format is cluster sets so simply this is shorter work periods with short rest periods where we completely drop the weight if holding and rest. Essentially mini sets and today it will be 4 mini sets per main exercise! The last set (4th set), will be a slight variation so could involve a more dynamic, less dynamic or isometric variation. For example, the Sumo deadlifts at the beginning of the workout are x3 sets of full range with the 4th set being more towards 1/2 reps!In between the cluster sets, we have x1 set of an exercise to include the calves so calf raise squats or single leg calf raises! It will all be on screen throughout so simply follow along! Just note that when performing single leg work such as curtsey lunge, The dumbbells I am using for the majority of the workout are 2 x 15kg each. I also use 1 x 30kg for the sumo deadlifts at the beginning of the workout.X3SUMO DEADLIFTSX11/2 REPSSTAPLE: SQUAT w/ CALF RAISEX3 RDLsX11 1/2 REPSSTAPLE: SQUAT w/ CALF RAISEX3REAR STEP LUNGESX1 STATIC LUNGEX1SINGLE LEG CALF RAISEX3REAR STEP LUNGESX1 STATIC LUNGEX1SINGLE LEG CALF RAISEX3LATERAL LUNGEX1HOLD (rise at 10 seconds)X1SINGLE LEG CALF RAISEX3LATERAL LUNGEX1HOLD (rise at 10 seconds)X1SINGLE LEG CALF RAISEFINISHER!60/60/70/30SUITCASE SQUATCALF RAISEBODYWEIGHT CLOSE SQUAT1/2 REP SQUATS!This was pretty demanding and the finisher finished me very nicely!😆Enjoy the shorter work periods and take extra time post cool down to gently stretch out the calves that bit more if you like!

FUEL Series 30 Min HARD N HIGHER Intensity Workout | Day 10 Caroline Girvan 2022-06-12 | Higher Intensity (HIT), is exactly as you will feel within the first superset! We are using supersets today but in a slightly different format! We perform a bodyweight exercise that is higher intensity and essentially will be a pre-exhaust before you pick up a weight and perform a variation! This will be demanding, but I actually think you will LOVE this!I will at points absolutely take up to 10 seconds to ensure I am ready to perform a lift safely.There are only 2 movements that I am jumping in, and I will provide lower-impact alternatives! But note these are simply low impact and not lower intensity!😅The timer will be on for 30 seconds per exercise, followed by another variation for 30 seconds with then 20 seconds rest in between! I often deliberate regarding rest as I could put in 5 or 10 seconds of rest in between the exercises as opposed to no specific rest to allow for time to pick up dumbbells. However, I do find that often means even more time is spent getting into position! There is no specific rest between the exercises within the supersets, but it is essential to take even 5 seconds or 10 if needed to ensure you are in a safe position as you will be lifting a weight. You will see me absolutely not rushing into position and ensuring all is good before lifting! Nothing is worth taking that risk when lifting, even more so when your heart rate is high! We simply perform each superset for x1 set! Once we complete the 12 supersets, we repeat that full circuit one more time! So circuits…. and that means the workout passes very quickly!All you will need for this workout is your mat, a chair/bench for Bulgarian lunges (bodyweight only) and decline push-ups!

FUEL Series 30 Min POSTERIOR CHAIN Circuits Workout | Day 8 Caroline Girvan 2022-06-08 | 2 circuits! First circuit aimed towards the glutes and hamstrings, second circuit the back!This workout will involve hinging during both circuits at points so please take it SLOW!For single arm bent over rows, you can place non working side hand on opposite knee, lean on a bench or place knee also on a bench if more comfortable for you!Push ups can be performed on push up bars / hands elevated on a chair!During RDLs, lower to approximately the knees to feel tension on the hamstrings whilst keeping dumbbells close to the body. You can lower that bit more of you feel confident, upper back not rounding and you are able to maintain form. Remember every single person will person a movement slightly different, particularly when they have gained the basics of the movement and are able to then manipulate foot stance (toes more in or out), depth (also accounting for variations of weight), holding of weight (dumbbells more infront or on shoulders), grip (a solid grip but relaxing the fingers slightly), and natural tempo they may gravitate towards if no specific tempo is called for. These are my real workouts and I hope to continue to share exactly how I perform the movements so I would say always perform to a rep how feels comfortable for you, particularly the depth and foot stance!The timer will be on for a majority of the workout 60 se seconds of work with 20 seconds rest inbetween each exercise!The only deviation from this is the Pullover movement which is 90 seconds in total each time it appears! We have 2 circuits to work through!We complete the first circuit, focusing on the hamstrings and glutes, for 2 rounds. We then also complete 2 rounds of the next circuit which focuses on the back! The dumbbell I am using for the Sumo Deadlifts and Hip Thrusts is 1 x 30kg. For everything else I use 2 x 15kg each!

FUEL Series 30 Min UPPER BODY COMPLEX Workout | Day 7 Caroline Girvan 2022-06-07 | Here we go!! Upper body day is here and what an experience this session will be! Every muscle in the upper body will be placed under tension today with a combination of bodyweight and dumbbell movements all within complexes involving 2 exercises but formatted to hit specific areas of the upper body so a balanced session overall!The timer will be on for only 2 minutes per complex so shorter complexes today with 30 seconds rest inbetween each complex! There are only 2 exercises within each complex and each exercise will simply be performed for either x5, x10 or x15 reps! It will be on screen the entire time of the complex showing the reps!Where any movements involving hopping back you can absolutely simply step back into plank as apposed to hopping! You may notice these are lighter weights compared to if I was completing IRON Series workout and infact it is half of what I sometime use in chest press… but due to the fact it is positioned post decline push ups and shoulders which involves much triceps, upper chest and front delts, these 10kgs in the chest press complex will feel VERY heavy for me within the first minute! The aim of Fuel is to not focus solely on cardio and higher intensity intervals for example but to still incorporate elements of traditional resistance training to promote building and/or maintaining of muscle depending on your energy balance.The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 2 x 10kg and 2 x 4kg.Aside from dumbbells, all you will need is a mat and a chair/bench for decline push ups and dips! I am performing dips on the chair today but absolutely bring those dip bars out if you have them! 10kgSHOULDER PRESS x10PIKE PUSH UPS x10ARNOLD PRESS x10UPRIGHT ROW x10DIPS x10DECLINE PUSH UPS x10DIVER PUSH UPS x10TRICEP PUSH UPS x10SPRAWL x10PUSH UPS x102 x 10kgTRICEP PRESS x10CHEST PRESS x102 x 10kgFLYES x10DIAMOND PRESS x101 x 10kgSKULLCRUSHERS x10SHOULDER CRUSHER x10CHEST TO FLOOR SPRAWL x 10COBRA TRICEP PUSH UPS x102x 4kgHAMMER PRESS x15TRICEP KICKBACK x152x 4kgREAR DELT FLY x10LATERAL RAISE x102 x 4kgAROUND THE WORLD x5CROSS BODY FRONTAL RAISE x20FINISHER!20/20/20/20MOUNTAIN CLIMBERSDEADSTOP PUSH UPSMOUNTAIN CLIMBERSDEADSTOP PUSH UPSThis has been the most fun session of Fuel yet for me!

And yes... a sweaty one absolutely! 😅👊🏼 The timer will be on for 30 seconds per exercise with the giant set! We then have 30 seconds rest in-between each giant set! The dumbbells I am using throughout for your reference are 2 x 10kg each. Aside from dumbbells, you will simply need your mat and something to step up onto with only your bodyweight (no weights in hand) and for decline push ups!

FUEL Series 30 Min Full Body Workout - PHA Training | Day 4 Caroline Girvan 2022-06-03 | Upper body, lower body, upper body and so on! We will welcome a longer duration between revisiting compound upper and lower body movements due to the formatting. A great way to promote being able to lift slightly heavier per exercise even though technically rest is on the shorter side. The timer will be on for supersets with the first exercise being 40 seconds, followed then by the next exercise for 30 seconds. We then have 20 seconds rest in-between each superset! We are alternating between upper body and lower body supersets so you will have come across this format during the EPIC Programs if you have completed some of those! The term is known as Peripheral Heart Action (PHA) and there are various ways of incorporating this technique into your training. I usually use it to allow for more volume due to alternating so essentially within this workout, we hit chest and triceps for 70 seconds, but we then have 3 minutes before we hit it again! I have always had a passion and interest for learning and taking research findings into consideration and applying elements into my training and daily life. I think that’s why I love variety... as nearly all formats, weights, timings, structure etc have a purpose and/or cause an adaptation. You will likely have experienced many training methods spanning the EPIC Programs and other series on this channel. For this workout, you will need some dumbbells, a mat, a chair or bench for Bulgarian lunges and a yoga block or stepper to elevate the heels for heel elevated squats. Of course, you can perform regular lunges as opposed to Bulgarian lunges or high squats as opposed to heel elevated if you prefer! Adapt this workout to suit you! Slow and steady with cardio even though not necessarily what you might always connect with the concept of cardio…there absolutely is cardio elements within lifting weights. We will finish with a flow that is the Maker, primarily an upper body but involves the entire body that will be combined with high squats to truly finish feeling worked but proud! The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 2 x 17.5kg and 2 x 10kg each.

FUEL Series 30 Min GLUTES & HAMSTRINGS Supersets Workout | Day 3 Caroline Girvan 2022-06-01 | SLOW and CONTROLLED reps throughout when using additional weight before being followed with a variety of more dynamic, change of pace, more explosive, bodyweight or partial reps! Supersets format to involve the entire lower body with a focus on the glute muscles and hamstrings!The timer will be on for 1 minute of work followed immediately with 30 seconds of a complimentary movement involving a more dynamic format that could include more explosive pace, partial reps or bodyweight only!For this workout, you will need some dumbbells (or barbell, kettlebell etc) for hip thrusts, Romanian deadlifts, sumo deadlifts and lunges.This is a slow paced workout when using the weights to ensure lifting with intent and focus as the weights you may select to use might be the higher end.I also use a chair for hip thrusts however you can also use a comfortable bench or even perform bridges where your back is on the mat! I also apply a glute band across the top of my knees.I also have a towel simply to place under my dumbbell during hip thrusts.The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 2 x 15kg. I also use 1 x 30kg at the beginning of the workout for hip thrusts and sumo squats.X230kgHIP THRUST (SLOW PACE)EXPLODE UP!X230kgSUMO DEADLIFTSUMO SQUAT JUMPS / PARTIAL REPSX22 x 15kgRDLx1 DUMBBELL 1/2 REPSX4STAGGERED RDLREAR STEP LUNGE (same foot forward)X4FOOT ELEVATED FWD LEAN LUNGEBODYWEIGHT REAR STEP!FINISHER!BRIDGE BURNOUT!SINGLE LEG BRIDGEBRIDGE JUMP (same side)SAME SIDE BRIDGE!SWITCH SIDE!BRIDGE JUMP (same side)SAME SIDE BRIDGE!SWITCH SIDE!BRIDGE JUMP (same side)SAME SIDE BRIDGE!SWITCH SIDE!BRIDGE JUMP (same side)SAME SIDE BRIDGE!2 LEGGED BRIDGE!BURN OUT REPS!We will be focusing on the slow release, contracting and full contraction during the hip thrusts.Lowering to a point where you feel the tension in the hamstrings during RDLs. This will mean lowering to the knees slowly whilst keeping dumbbells close to body, shoulder blades back, exaggerate the chest and pushing hips back and up! If you feel comfortable, you can lower below the knees but this is NOT necessary to perform an RDL.During sumo deadlifts, think about pushing hips back and tilting forward at the hips. Ensure heels pushing into the floor throughout. Squeeze through the glutes and push heels hard into the floor, almost feeling like you are pushing the floor away, to rise.I loved the superset format; the first exercise being a compound movement, slow and steady. Followed by a short blast! Glutes definitely engaged, activated and time under tension eccentrically and concentrically! Day 3 here we go!Cx……………………………………………………………Useful LinksDon’t forget to Subscribe and turn on notifications so that you don’t miss any Workouts, Community Updates or Surprises: youtube.com/c/carolinegirvan/?sub_confirmation=15 Minute Warm Up: youtu.be/JOoIsy8SX4c (Always warm up before any workout)Today’s Optional Add-on Workout: youtu.be/WWu9E0terf420 Minute Extended Stretch and Relax: youtu.be/y87vSUoIMGUFUEL Series Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhu1QCKrfgPXD0AUCqAzmB9c5kyXP1ofQ FUEL Series Calendar: carolinegirvan.com/fuel-calendar-col.pdfMy Website: carolinegirvan.comCaroline Girvan Community: facebook.com/groups/carolinegirvanInstagram: instagram.com/carolinegirvanBusiness Enquiries Email: info@carolinegirvan.comAb Workouts: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhu1QCKrfgPX_3_Fir25lT1zjLvmjifl7Cardio Workouts: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhu1QCKrfgPVj9hpw_O3t1LoUcqUWpJioHIIT Workouts: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhu1QCKrfgPXHHqpj3cBJkNSRwF3P3h2k……………………………………………………………Disclaimer: If you are new to exercise or planning on embarking on a new fitness programme, you should consult your physician.

Chest, back, shoulders and triceps will majorly work hard today with the circuit… steady pace with every rep being the best it can.Cluster sets of short duration…with short rest also!For this workout you will essentially need some dumbbells, your mat and a chair for tricep dips.

IRON Series Finale 30 Min Arms, Abs and Core Workout | 30 Caroline Girvan 2022-05-15 | Finishing the Iron Series with my favourite workout of the series! This workout was everything that I personally love in an arm workout! A mixture of dumbbells and some bodyweight, the focus on FULL RANGE strict movement patterns from the curls to tricep exercises whilst SOFT straightening of arms when needed so no severe jolting. The mind to muscle connection is a major part of curls and extension at the elbow for me… during curls I imagine the bicep muscles shortening, triceps relaxing to perform the curls; the triceps shortening and contracting for those dips, skullcrushers and pressing. If you find any of these movements not particularly challenging by the last few reps, this means you could lift slightly heavier, or you may simply need to keep those elbows more steady in curls, elbows closer during tricep press or lower dumbbells that bit further during skullcrushers.This logic applies to the entire Iron Series.There may be some movements you know you can lift heavier in so a perfect opportunity to revisit this series and challenge yourself further! Or pay even more attention to how you perform the movements. Nearly every single movement we can make less challenging… or more challenging! Learning your body and how to manipulate your positioning can maximise output per rep!And onto this workout!! The final!! It’s going to be fun!! For this workout you will essentially need some dumbbells and your mat! For dips, you can either use a chair for bodyweight dips or dip bars. Alternatively, if you prefer, perform Diamond Press!The timer will be on for a majority of the workout 60 seconds per exercise with 30 seconds rest inbetween!Once we hit the abs & core, the timer there will be 60 seconds followed straight into another exercise for 30 seconds.

IRON Series 30 Min Dumbbell Glute Workout - Iron Glutes | 28 Caroline Girvan 2022-05-11 | Zoning in on the glutes today with a series of exercises to promote the building of strength and muscle within the glutes, adductors, and stability with the entire hip region with sumo position deadlifts and hip thrusts.The Bulgarian lunges, due to being a unilateral movement involve balance and work improving that mobility.We begin with some simple drills for activation before moving to the compound movements! The essentially warm up the abductors, glute medius and maximus. The side lying clam is, where if applicable, prescribed for rehabilitating the glutes to help with aggravation in lower back, knee injuries or improving mobility and strength in the hips…and is knee friendly. When performing this exercise, be aware this is s small range of movement, particularly when wearing a higher resistance band so it is important to use hand infront to steady yourself and try to minimise momentum from the body. You can absolutely use a less resistant band if you prefer!The timer will be on for either supersets (60 seconds of work, followed immediately with 30 seconds of work) or trisets (30 seconds per portion)! The rest period will always be 30 seconds! It will be clear on screen throughout! For this glute focused workout, you will need a chair/bench for hip thrusts, a resistance band to place just above the knees, your mat and some weight! You can use a dumbbell, barbell or kettlebell depending on what you have access to! The dumbbell I am using for the hip thrusts is 1 x 30kg.I also use 1 x 15kg dumbbell for some forward leaning Bulgarian lunges! 60/30/30/60/30/30 restCLAM (SLOW)CLAM HOLD!CLAM FASTER PACE!STRAIGHT LEG LIFT (SLOW)FASTER PACE!REST (switch side)CLAM (SLOW) CLAM HOLD!CLAM FASTER PACE!STRAIGHT LEG LIFT (SLOW)FASTER PACE!60/30/30 rest HIP THRUST ‘SLOW’1/2 REPS!HIP THRUST ‘SLOW’1/2 REPS!HIP THRUST x5 PULSESX1 PULSE!HIP THRUST x5 PULSESX1 PULSE!30/30/30/30 RESTSTAGGERED THRUSTHOLD!FULL RANGE!REST (switch side)STAGGERED THRUSTHOLD!FULL RANGE!60/30/30 restFWD LEAN BULGARIAN LUNGEBODYWEIGHT 1/2 REPS!REST (switch side)FWD LEAN BULGARIAN LUNGEBODYWEIGHT 1/2 REPS!30/30/30/30 rest SINGLE LEG THRUSTHOLD!FULL RANGE!SINGLE LEG THRUSTHOLD!FULL RANGE!FINISHER!30/30/30FULL RANGE SLOW!1/2 REPS!FASTER PACE BURN OUT!I know your glutes will love this workout!😁Slow, the slower the better!

And this is far from rising through the reps… the slower the better. Rep ranges will be anywhere between 8-15 approximately per set depending on the weight you are using and also how you like to train. Shoulders, back and chest are the muscle groups under load with the triceps also challenged throughout today! The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 2 x 20kg, 2 x 10kg and 2 x 4kg.Aside from dumbbells you will need your mat and for dips either a chair or dip bars!Alternatively for the dips, you can change it up! Here are some alternatives for the dips if you prefer a different way of hitting those triceps!TRICEP PUSH UPSTRICEP PRESSSKULLCRUSHERSAbsolutely change as you prefer!

IRON Series 30 Min Hamstrings Workout - Hip Extension & Flexion | 16 Caroline Girvan 2022-04-25 | Hamstrings it is! A combination of hip flexion and extension to put load on our hamstrings using dumbbells. Although structured time for work and rest, the timer is only a guide. Never any need to feel rushed into position or to perform that first rep. The slower the better today. A lot of time under tension and this will really require you to be ‘present’ with each lift.Here are just some simple cues to think about during the Romanian Deadlifts that I find useful: • knees ‘soft’ throughout • No need to lower weight past knees • Neutral spine (slight arch to back is fine!) • Braced core • Don’t hold breath • Neck elongated and inline with spine as best you can • Weight close to body the entire time • Ease into those first few reps in particular • During isometrics at bottom if a slight pause, think about hips up and back even more, open chest even more and try to relax breath!The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 2 x 17.5kg each. I will also be using 1 x 30kg for the Hamstring thrusts and 1 x 12.5kg for the balancing staggered RDL.Aside from dumbbells, you will need a chair or bench for Hamstring thrusts! Every set will be different so technically no repeat! However of course if movement is on one side such as Staggered RDLs, the next set will be the opposite side!The timer will be on for the workout 60 seconds per exercise with 30 seconds rest inbetween each set!15kgSLOW ECCENTRIC RDLPAUSED RDLNORMAL TEMPO RDLSLOW ECCENTRIC STAGGERED RDL SWITCH SIDE!1 1/2 REP STAGGERED RDL SWITCH SIDE!STAG RDL TO LUNGESWITCH SIDE!12.5kgBALANCE RDLSWITCH SIDE!HAMSTRING THRUST ‘SLOW’HOLD!FULL RANGE - HOLD - FULL RANGE 20/20/20X1 LEG HAMSTRING THRUSTSWITCH SIDE!FULL RANGE - HOLD - FULL RANGE 30/15/15SWITCH SIDE!FINISHER!17.5kgRDL x2 DUMBBELLSRDL x 1 DUMBBELL!By the time the finisher came, my hams were pretty tired so I would ensure to take it slow and ensure each rep is as good as the very first set in this workout!
