I’m just finishing the Epic program. Today is the last workout. It is very much a strength building program if you lift heavy. You could lift lighter for more reps if that is your preference. It only has one day of cardio a week (hiit on Sundays) and two rest days, Thursday and Saturday if you follow it to the letter. She suggests doing your own cardio like walk outside too. She has a dog she walks every day for an hour. She did make a 40ish minute steady state cardio that can be done on an active rest day as well.
I liked it quite a bit. It is tough. I added some extra cardio after a couple of weeks but I tend to do double workouts anyway. That’s just me. I did utilize Anna from Growingannanas for her 12 to 20 minute hiits after an Epic strength as a quick cardio finisher. That worked pretty well. I feel I gained strength throughout my body. She has some interesting push-ups I had never done before. Some I was pleasantly surprised I could do. I haven’t done anything by Heather so I can’t comment on her. |

Love Epic! It's a purely strength workout. Seeing her struggle finishing her reps make it real. I lift heavy knowing it's ok to take a break. I'm constantly sore with her workout. It's definitely not for a beginner. Her total body workout on Friday is an hour length. 30 min Hiit on Sunday.

I really like Caroline and her channel, but did not do her Epic rotation. I attempted her beginner Epic HIIT workout and not even midway through my back shouted MAY DAY! and I bailed on it.
Her Epic workouts are good no doubt but are tough, I would certainly suspect you would get results but I can't tell you from personal experience. My favorite workouts from her are her shorter workouts, any long workout no matter who the instructor is going to drag for me. I really like her beginner Epic total body weight routine, 30 minutes and really hits all the muscles, nice workout that I did today. I also really like her booty band workouts. I need to do some of her ab workouts. Not all of her workouts are for me but she puts a lot of work into her channel and it's exploded a very short amount of time, I am pleased to see it's so successful because she deserves it. She is very likable and I really like her accent, she seems very down to earth. Heather Robertson, have not really tried yet but am meaning to, she has a lot of workouts that I think would be good for me as well. She is hugely successful as well, lots of variety and she seems very likable. To respond to Erica, it will be interesting to see what she does next, if she goes back to the workouts that she was doing before, if she takes a week break (wouldn't blame her), or is cooking up another program/rotation. |

I did the first day of beginner Epic (lower body) and could barely walk for two days after! Someday when I'm a little more fit I will attempt her workouts again because I really like her.
