So much epic heat vibes which is one of my all time favourite programmes! FUEL screams to me "Train like an athlete!" Thank you Caroline, your creativity doesn't have limits! Community- have a good night sleep- we will all need it before giant sets tomorrow!😅

I am so happy and pumped to start this series. I haven't properly worked out in 3 weeks as I was on a vacation!! I thoroughly enjoyed it and since I've been back, I've been in this "slump" sort of situation... but I am hoping I'll be consistent with this series along with my work. Thanks Caroline 😌 love ya

Hi Caroline , I am excited to start a new fuel workout. I wake up at 4:00 am to start my day with you and go to work. 30 m is great for me because I start the morning riding my bike , then your workout and get ready to start my day teaching in a private school. I live in Peru. There are 7 hours of difference that why I can follow you ever day. Thanks a lot!!

Absolutely correct Caroline! One of my MANY most satisfying things doing your workouts is to check off a certain day on the calendar and write notes of the day such as weights used, modifications if any and how I felt during the session. So thankful for your kindness and existence Caroline and all Girvanators 🙌🏼. Though I’m a bit intimated by the cardio elements in this program but I will try my best. Let’s g

I am sick right now, but am hoping to get better ASAP so I can join you all! This looks absolutely amazing, Caroline. Thanks for all that you do for us! (Also, thanks for the B/W calendar. I’ve already printed it off and am ready to get checking off the workouts.) IRON was the first full series I did along with you all, and it was so fun and the community was amazing. Can’t wait to continue on with everyone! 💕

Sounds like the start of a fun filled, full body incorporating, challenging series. I always look forward to the overview because you teach us about how our anatomy works and if we are really listening to you it only increases the benefits of each program. So Thank You CG! ❣

Yes! Can't wait. I've been re-doing the Iron Series and also did some old school Caroline in her backyard workouts. Would be a neat surprise if Caroline did another workout in her backyard. Let's go!

Here we go!
6 weeks, 30 workouts, 30 minute sessions and countless moments of accomplishment and pride ahead!
I have my calendar ready to go like so many of you!
Here is a brief overview of what is on the agenda for week 1…and we’re starting with leg day!
Monday
GIANT LEG DAY
Giant sets + leg day = an awesome way to begin this series!
Giant sets consisting of 4 variations of a movement pattern; however, these will be formatted to ‘flow’ to increase tension and demand on the muscle groups throughout the sets!
X2 dumbbells, X1 dumbbell, bodyweight only, unilateral and some sprawls in here too!
I love these types of workouts……’on paper’ the 4th movement / variation is the least challenging however when it is applied, this is rarely the case!
Weighted drop sets, mechanical drop sets and some full body cardio movements in here too to get the heart pumping!
I will likely be using 2 pairs of dumbbells as I often do with leg day depending on the exercises.
Tuesday
UPPER BODY CLUSTERS
Cluster sets will be within this upper body workout along with longer duration sets to apply demand on the major muscles within the upper body, of course the back, chest & shoulders.
Push and pull movements along with a small amount of full body movements (bodyweight only) at a point to elevate the heartrate that bit more!
With cluster sets, you will notice the first set will create an initial consideration of increasing the weight however the second set will confirm this always isn’t needed!
There will be a dynamic finisher movement along with a more targeted movement to zone in on a specific area!
Wednesday
GLUTES & HAMSTRINGS SUPERSETS
Consisting of those compound movements but playing with tempo, explosive movements, weighted drop sets and unilateral work!
I will be using x 1 heavier weight for sumo squats & hip thrusts and a lighter pair for everything else!
A finisher involving bridges is planned!
Friday
FULL BODY SUPERSETS
Upper body specific supersets followed by lower body supersets meaning we have longer rest between upper and lower.
If you have completed previous programs / series, you will likely have noticed this format particularly during full body sessions. The technical term is Peripheral Heart Action (PHA) training. Always great to incorporate into full body workouts to increase overall volume.
A heavier pair and a lighter pair of dumbbells will be used.
Bulgarian lunges will be within this workout, however as always you can keep both feet on the floor and perform regular lunges!
Friday full body workouts will ‘usually’ involve a slower pace throughout compared to Sunday’s workout!
Sunday
FULL BODY CARDIO
Sundays will typically be a more higher intensity session in relation to the demand on the cardiovascular system. However, this will not necessarily mean ‘HIIT’ workout format.
Giant sets are on the agenda here with a lighter pair of dumbbells to ensure heartrate up throughout this session whilst zoning in on muscle groups for a full body sweat session!
Step ups will be in this workout however you can absolutely perform static lunges, forward step lunges!
I am excited to incorporate formats that we might have keep primarily for HIIT workouts into the more muscle group specific workouts as we progress through this series! Please note there will be lower impact alternatives provided throughout!
Remember, these are my real workouts! The distance I have my feet apart during lunges, whether I hold my dumbbells high racked by shoulders or down by sides during lunges and range of movement during dips are examples of how we may differ! We are all so different and so we will all likely perform them slightly different!
Ensure you position yourself to perform in a way that allows you to focus on the movement itself, preventing strain and other muscles taking over!
For anyone who hasn’t read this, or who would like more information relating to the format and reasoning behind the FUEL Series and the printable calendar, simply click the link below! This is free and you might find it highly satisfying ticking off the days!
Think hip thrusts with glute bridge jumps! Sumo deadlifts with sumo squat jumps! Burpees with rows!
Bring it on!
It’s going to be a fun 6 weeks!
Let’s have a lot of fun!
And remember that we are fortunate to be able to move our bodies in this way.
Our bodies and minds are capable of so much.
