⭐️ STRENGTH, SWEAT & CORE POWER WITH RITA CALAZ & IGOR ANGÉLICO! 🏋🏾‍♀️🔥

Les Mills Grit Strength & Core with Rita Calaz and Igor Angélico – A Challenging Experience!

It all began with me being late. I know! Shame on me! But wait—it gets worse. 😅

I arrived late to GRIT STRENGTH with RITA CALAZ. On top of that, I ran across the studio to prepare my equipment, didn’t find what I needed, left the room, went to another one, grabbed the wrong size clips… only to realize I was dealing with a well-prepared instructor, who had left everything right at the studio entrance for us to use. 😅🫣

My apologies to Rita, who was so kind in trying to alert me about the prepared equipment. 🙏🏾🫣



Since I missed the warm-up, I went straight into the workout. I used 12.5 kg.

Rita demonstrated the exercises perfectly, making them look so easy. But yeah… they’re not! 😏

I managed to fall in love with a lot of tough exercises, even burpees! But mountain climbers? Gosh… it’s still hard to like them. 😅 Maybe one day!

One thing about Grit is that, out of nowhere, the instructors appear right in front of you. One minute, you’re struggling to do push-ups (with knee support), and the next, you hear Rita saying:

“Without the knees, Suzike… at least one push-up!” 😅

But all the effort was worth it when, right after, she said: “Machine!” 😎💪🏾

Normally, the last track is a nice finisher. But today? The core exercises Rita brought were insane! 😵‍💫

Brilliant class! Rita made us work hard while reminding us that tomorrow would be Saturday… so we should finish the week feeling proud! 😁

Next up: Core with Igor Angélico—a 30-minute challenge!

That plank track he brought was stunning. Hard, but stunning.

My favorite track (the fourth) was a real PAIN today! 🔥 We worked our glutes one side at a time, and the burn was so intense that I had to hold it! 😂😅

Igor sure knows how to pick torturous exercises! 🥵😅

Well, he told us to have fun and MAKE HIM HAVE FUN! I bet he did… watching our faces. 😅

As usual, I loved the class! We had halos 🥰, and (I think) the plane —I absolutely LOVE them! 👌🏾

Igor made sure our core was on fire today! 🔥 That plank track was breathtaking, but the real challenge? The glute burner—pure torture, but so worth it! 😅🥵

🔥 WHAT AN INCREDIBLE TRAINING DAY! 👌🏾
