NewYearathon - getting fitter in 2017.

Happy weekend, everyone! Shakily climbing back on the wagon after a work week from hell: I've just cycled a brisk three miles and done the calisthenics and Pilates workouts from 10-minute Body Transformations. The Pilates one is really good - Jillian doesn't really do it herself but has found someone excellent to model the advanced version of the moves. When I had time and disposable income I used to go to Pilates classes twice a week, and one day I will again.

Happy weekend indeed, so ready for it. I'm really trying to control my calorie intake for the next two weeks to try and fit into this bloody dress, and weekends are usually my downfall, so we shall see...

Killer Arms and Back L1 today...I quite like this one, Jillian doesn't hang about so it's done quite quickly with no messing about.

Hope you feel better soon LordPeter

Upper body weights with my pt. really enjoyed it today. Will be sore tomorrow though - lots of flyes included.

Happy weekend everyone!

Delicious, Killer Abs L2 is by far the best workout on that DVD: L1 is a bit undemanding if you're reasonably fit, and L3 has some really tough moves that are quite discouraging unless you're very strong.

Complete fail here this week: work went mad and I've been crawling home late with a pounding tension headache every evening. Hoping to get something done tonight / over the weekend, and get back on the bike next week if work calms down a bit.

Oub I'm well on target, I worked it out, really pleased. I do have a two week AI holiday booked for end of June so although I will take training clothes abdxgood intentions I need to get ahead because we all know very little s happening those two weeks 😳

Nice to see you all!

6 Week 6 Pack L1 plus 10 mins hula hoop. I think I prefer that one to Killer Abs L1, it feels like it's doing more for me.

Hello all, didn't post but did a gentle 30 day shred level 2 on Tues. Will try to find time to do something tomorrow. Next week probably a bit of a write off as well as I am on a course all week.

Metafit then 30 minute pt. My arms are still shaking.

Killer Buns and Thighs L1 done today, plus 10 mins on the hula hoop...managed to walk a fairly brisk miles during work as well, which is a bonus.

Couch to 5k week 6 day 1

Easing back in with Killer Abs L1 today, followed by JM's 10-minute Transformation (cardio) and 10 mins hula hooping.

Kettlebell fitness day

I really should take a day off soon 😕

Happy Easter everyone! I did the final workout of Body Revolution on Good Friday...at least, I'm counting that as the final workout, although I realised that the diary that comes with it says 'week 12 - 13' so I suppose you are supposed to repeat the final week to make the 90 days? I'm not doing it though, I'm ready for a break from Body Rev. I also can't do the wheel push-up move...I sort of hold wheel as she suggests, but I agree it doesn't feel terribly safe.

I've decided to put Bodyshred on hold until June and do a few weeks of random JM workouts instead, and try to do a run once a week with DP. Had the weekend off for Easter as I've been away, eating chocolate....

I definitely feel stronger for having done Body Revolution, but my body is slow to change and I think I need to bite the bullet and up my game to shred some fat. I've just bought some new scales and realised that I am heavier than I thought, and also dug out the dress that I was planning to wear to a wedding soon (last worn 4 years ago), and it's too tight to zip up . I reckon I need to lose at least an inch off my back to get into it again...not sure whether to try and do a drastic crash diet over the next 2.5 weeks or just buy another dress!

Body Rev workout 11 done. I'll do workout 12 later this week and then I think I'm not going to do workouts 11 and 12 again - there's a three-part push-up in workout 11 that I can't see myself ever being able to do because it hurts my wrists too much, and workout 12 has the wheel push-up that I daren't even attempt in case I break my neck in the process. I somehow feel I've cheated if there's a move in a workout that I haven't done at all. I'm going to alternate the Killer Abs workouts with Yoga Meltdown for a week or two and then have a crack at Bodyshred.

Hope everyone had a good long weekend. Ours was good till today, which was blighted by DD's homework.

Leg day. I am not getting any fonder of this hypertrophic stuff. I almost crawled in from the car there.

Hope you all have lovely things planned for the bank holiday.

Happy chocolate day everyone!

Bad week for exercise with the kids on holidays and a wedding yesterday, but I just managed 6k.

Hope your weekend improved RJ.

It has thanks stressy. Your run sounds lovely.

77/173 after MMA circuits this morning. Love a bit of ground and pound on the mannequin.

RJ, hope your weekend has improved.

Hello all, happy Easter! Did a slowish 5k run this morning.

We are at my parents for Easter and this is one of the few places I genuinely love going for a run. I grew up round here so it is fab to have time on my own to meander round my childhood places .
