Beachbody Thread 6 (Insanity, T25, 21 Day Fix, 80 Day Obsession etc)

Hi Purple yeah, it's not perfect. Still getting a bit of pain but cam definitely feel a difference!
I have a pull up bar and am terrified to use it for that very reason. Must have been quite a shock! Haha teaching your kids new words 😂😂

Hey yum ooh I look forward to that!! Well done on your workout! I used to do that with Cardio Abs in Insanity... if pick the Plyometric Circuit over it almost every time 😂😂😂😂

Oh that's not pathetic at all. I think we've all been there. I went and got some folic acid tablets before I knew for certain I was pregnant. I'd had a weird bubbly tingles and gone off food. Felt nauseous in the very very early days. Was totally convinced I was pg. Then I started bleeding 😕 I was quite disappointed but felt silly for getting excited. Then 2 weeks later I was needing to go to the loo alot so I took the test again. Definitely pregnant. So not silly... I think you're just listening to your body 😊😊

Morning Roman - oh my god well done!!! That's bloody fantastic!! You should be super chuffed with that, definitely!! How long have you been working on your weight loss?

Purple, that must have been so difficult going through multiple miscarriages

Oh no purple - hope you are ok, that sounds horrid . That is a definite disadvantage to door way pullup bars, I have had my one slip a couple of times and it shook me a bit and that is without it actually falling off.

Roman January 15 - yes that is when it started so we 3 are all nearly at 4 years

Plink well done on speed 1.0 - a few if us love 2.0 so that is a good one for you to look forward to Good news about the knees improving. I have given up on protein powders but LIIFT 4 is making me interested again.

I have done triceps yesterday and today shoulders. I swapped workouts 3 and 4 as I wanted a shorter one. I liked it and could lift a little heavier on one or 2 things but I skipped the core section today

Reastie - you are so resourceful when under limitations with workouts, so I can't wait to hear about pregnancy workouts etc you are doing. I can totally relate to beige carb thing - I would eat a whole packet of crumpets when pregnant with ds. This is going to sound pathetic but my period was really quite late last week so there was a day or so where I was drinking decaff and being really tired and thinking ok I am clearly pregnant and even though it was only for one day and I wasn't even pregnant it was hard work. My period is usually early and never late normally so I was probably of you on some subconscious level!

Hi plink. Glad the knees are feeling better. That’s fast.

Reastie - sorry to hear you’re feeling awful already. I had a lot of miscarriages so I hear you on not getting too excited (I refused to even discuss being pg with dh until my 12wk scan!) but everyone told me feeling sick was a good sign.

I can’t believe this thread has been going for nearly 4yrs. I remember when it started. I had been given t25 for Xmas and just started in the new year. I remember showing it to my friends and us all laughing about me getting all buff like the people on the cover. Obv im still not totally buff like them - but it is amazing the difference between me then and me now!

I did total synergistics on Sunday (and somehow the pull up bar fell off whilst I was on it) and then cvx tonight. I have an impressive bruise on my shoulder from the pull up bar and I’m a bit worried I may have accidentally taught my kids to swear as I did utter a few words as I pinged off it!

Hey ladies, how you all doing? Any news on your workouts so far this week?

I managed to do Week 2 Workout 3 of T25 last night. Speed 1.0. Bleddy lush!!! Particularly fond of the burpee and front kicks move.
Also managed to get a decent amount of protein in.

Knee exercises are doing their thing. My knees seem to be grinding less already which is wonderful!

I can't wait to finish my protein powder. It's a Unico one and it was pretty pricey, especially because I has to pay customs fees on it 😡 but I'm looking forward to something different. It's cinnamon roll flavour which I love as I don't get to eat them anymore 😂 however, it is ridiculously sweet. Maybe a vanilla flavour next time? Then I can make some protein balls 😄😄

So I will yum 😂😂😂 sounds like a lovely walk! Get the Map My Walk app. Does exactly what it says on the tin 😂😂 7.30am on a weekend?! Unheard of in our house! 😂😂 DP is a chronic napper as well. Before we had DS a lush day consisted of lazing in bed all day, watching snooker (it's our thing) or a film. Then snoozing until our hearts content 😂😂 not gonna happen for a long time yet 🤣🤣🤣

Roman I hate TBC. It's a bastard 😂 I end up swearing at Shaun sadist . Tap push ups, 180° rotations... the worst is those push ups with your leg up by your hands... I am not a lizard, there is no way I am going to be able to do that. Who has legs that are capable of doing that and doing a push up at the same time?! 😂😂😂 though obviously if someone on here says they can do them I am going to applaud them.

Don't beat yourself up too much over the Jelly babies and Daim. It happens. I'm sure it won't derail you too much. The important thing is carrying on with the healthy food after. Jump right back on the wagon 😃😃 well done on completing Week 3!!!

Oh Reastie you poor thing. I remember that feeling. Hated not working out. Got me so down. It must be so hard not to get excited but I understand not wanting to just in case. I have all my fingers crossed for you that it goes well.
Haha pasta, toast, jacket potatoes... I also enjoyed far too many chocolate Flake yoghurts when i had it bad 😂😂 not a carb but so yum 😂 keep doing the gentle stuff... yoga sounds good! Nice and relaxing 😊

Hello, I’ve been hiding from th thread on purpose as I’ve been too of all the workouts you’ll be doing and I haven’t. I’m already having to eat non stop and on anti sickness meds. Seeing gp on Friday to discuss work and medication options (off this week and last anyway as school holiday). Not getting excited about being pg at all as convinced I’ll have a mc so no excitement for me, just positive vibes. Have been on exercise bike every morning for half an hour. Only gently but at least it’s something. Discovered some pg yoga stuff on the secret site so will try that too.

Thinking I might start looking like a beige carb as it’s all I’m eating!

Oh well plink you will just have to stay on here and keep us company

I am a hopeless runner but would love to be able to go off and run for miles. We walked for about 7 miles today (dp thinks 5 - I think 10, the children think more!) and we were absolutely cream crackered . It was a beautiful day though we walked along a canal and felt a bit like being in the countryside. Funny it is so close to our house and never done it before.

Plink my kids would let me lie in now (well the 7 year old less so) but dp is an early bird kind of person so we all end up out of bed by 7.30/8.00 at the weekend. I am the sort of person who would happily sleep until 10.00 am given half a chance! To be fair 8.00 would have seemed like bliss when the oldest was little as he was often up for the day at 5.30 which is just beyond a joke

Hey Purple yeah she said it'd be good 😃😃 Amazing runs there!! 11 miles?! God I can barely do one 🤣🤣 running really has never been my strong point or rather endurance running. I can only sprint for a bit and then I'm done 😂😂

Yum I found my knee aching with Insanity but I think that's because my muscle imbalance had started again prior to beginning the programme. I'd been going to the gym before I started but before that I hadn't done anything. Actually , the only times I've had problems is straight after a long rest. So it gives me all the more reason to keep a regime up. My joints just can't cope with it, my muscles weaken far too much 😔

And remember resting is just as important as workouts. Having a nap is worth it. I used to be a serial napper before DS. I miss being able to do it. That and lie-ins 😂😂

Not sure how good the prices are but amazon have up to 20% off fitbits and other fitness. This includes some weights Roman so thought you might be interested link to offer includes a set of 2 10kg weights for £34 homcom or 2 x 6kg are £24

Actually Plink I agree about the dvds and knee's getting stronger - when I first started doing exercise dvds - Jillian Michaels in particular - I would twist my knees etc frequently but now they are usually fine and I think it must be they have got stronger {touches wood frantically}

Purple well done on runs - I just looked back at page 1 thread 1 and realised you were one of the first people to reply to my OP - I was so nervous posting that and we are still going strong nearly 4 years later. You have progressed so much from thread 1as you thought insanity would be too much and now here you are pretty much the queen of insanity max 30

So far no yoga - I had a nap instead

Hi plink - you have exactly the same knee problem I had when I was running and not doing any other training. It went away when I started doing DVDs etc as they’re excellent for building up all the muscles in your legs so I bet t25 will be perfect.

Lots of running for me over last 2 days - 11miles yesterday then 4.5 today. It is beautiful weather here so was lovely to be outside.

Hope you’re all ok. Also I’d like to confirm I’ve never done 8 workouts per week

Yup sounds like that's the way forward yum.

I know it sounds silly but I'm proper chuffed I can keep doing it. The last time I had to stop playing rugby for a few months and it broke my heart/depressed me. Very frustrating. Had to resort to swimming!

Well done on your workout!! Nice feeling knowing you've got the weekend free 😄😄

How's everyone else been today? Reastie how is the nausea?

Ooh Plink sounds like it was a good thing you went to that physio appointment, sounds like a lot going on that you wouldn't even have known about. So for now some specific exercises and modify T25 ad you should get stronger?

8 workouts now way! - there have been people on here at times doing that many but I think that is a litttttle bit to hardcore for me!

Legs done so in theory I am all done for the week - mabe a yoga session if feeling very keen.

I read your first post wrong yum... thought you said you were averaging 8 workouts a week!!! 😂😂😂

Bloody hell! That would be a crazy workout regime! 😂😂😂

Haha got me all excited there yum

They're selling P90X for like £6 as well 😂😂😂 I've bookmarked Asylum though so when it's back in stock, I'm there 😂😂

Saw the physio today. Feeling really good about it and very glad I put in the self-referral.

So... it's not just my knees. It's my hips too. My hip muscles are weak and my inner knee muscles are weak which are making my kneecaps track to one side and making my knees dip inwards rather than straight. My fat pads are inflamed (which I did not know) and the constant grinding noise I get in them is because of inflammation too. I also have hypermobile joints.

The good news is my other muscles are really strong as they're taking on the extra work in trying to stabilise me. So now I just work on the weak ones.
She said when I've strengthened them, things like Insanity will only make me stronger rather than exacerbate weak points! YAY!!!

I can keep doing T25 (yay!!!) but just continue to take out/modify the batshit crazy frog stuff jumps and lunges they do.

It's good day when you hear you can keep exercising!! 😄😄😄

Oh sorry, Insanity asylum is sold out. Worth keeping an eye incase they get them back in.

Plink you can buy the asylum disks for £1 on cex - I don't think they are necessarily even second hand as they had loads of them but they don't come with the special ladder or bands etc. I got mine on there for £23 so was gutted when it went down to £1!!

CEX

miss sell not missell!!

Plink - I am going against the tide - I absolutely loved the toddling stage, although tbf none of mine were runners, it's now they are older they behave badly!

Roman - Joel's wife is blonde and uber fit - that is just typical. They so missell him on the HIIT4 advert sittting on the sofa with his cute cat alone

Hope your relaxed cycle went went well Reastie.

Purple - Insanity Max 30 has that affect on me - my body literally feels broken if I do it 2 days in a row - never mind 4 weeks. Dread to think what would happen if I did Insanity the asylum properly.

Weak 3 shoulders for me too - that was my favourite easiest workout so far. Definitely my preference to mix the HIIT and weights. Not sure how accurate it is but BBOD are telling me I am averaging 4.8 workouts a week so I think I am on track for my 50 workouts by christmas.

It's mad isn't it? My DM reassured me that it will get easier. I'm sure it will but it feels never ending at the moment. He's so adventurous which in some ways I'm really proud of and excited for. Laughing at your stories though... coal buckets, car parks and changing rooms 😂😂😂

Oh well done Purple !! That's awesome! I'd say 4 weeks of it is a bloody accomplishment. It looks ridiculous!

Got to love rest day Roman . Ooh that sounds quite nice. 30 secs HIIT and 30 secs weights.

Reastie How are you feeling today? Hopefully the sickness isn't too bad?

I seem to have blocked out the crawling phase in my mind - I really can’t remember any of it apart from it was very hard work plink! I do remember dd climbing into the coal bucket when I turned away for a second. That was a low.

I’ve done the first 4 wks of insanity asylum twice. It is hard. I always end up getting ill after 4 wks so I’ve not finished it. It’s worth a go though
