W3/DAY 3: GLUTES

W3/DAY 3: GLUTES

We are FINAL week of this program!!! & we are soil in the stage of this program where I want challenge you to step into progressive overload & pick up slightly heavier weights than the first 3 weeks! So for example if you used 10lbs dumbbells all throughout Week 1-3, then for Week 4-6 I want you to challenge yourself to 12-15 lbs instead! Same for all weights/all exercises. Being the LAST week, if you want to add on even a few more pounds to your new heavy weights go for it- let's finish so strong girls!
