She expressed:

“By day five, I notice I’ve already got what I’m telling myself is more muscle definition in my arms and abs. I put it down to the high-intensity nature of burpees, and maybe a splash of my intense desire for this horrible exercise to do the business.”

This result was paired with proper nutrition.
