Exercising into a new decade - AKA New Year-athon 2020

Thanks for the explanation Roonetta. So it's just 30 mins of JM each day? (Sorry to use the word "just". JM is never "just" it's always tough - if you get what I'm trying to say!!)

5km interval run plus strength for abs, underbutt, triceps and back

Days exercised 171

Meant to say there are three phases in total.

Hi @SophieLion BR is a 90 day programme.
Phase 1 include 1-4 strength workouts and a cardio. You do workout 1 on a Monday, 2 on a Tuesday and then cardio 1 on Wednesday and then repeat for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Sunday is a rest day. Two weeks of this then move on to workouts 3 and 4 with cardio 1 for two weeks. Then you move up a phase. Hope I’ve made sense! They are all around 30 minutes. oops emoji crept in.

Don't worry re loads of emojis Roonetta. I always seem to have loads of typos which is much worse as always in a rush plus I struggle with keyboard on my Phone.

Yes agree with you exactly: want to be fit and strong and healthy. I also think flexibility is very important (particularly for me as I'm a bit lazy with stretching) so try to do yoga too.

How exactly does the Body Revolution system work? Is it 30 mins every day? Do you have to follow a set programme?

I just noticed how many emojis I put in my posts! Sorry! Will try to refrain from adding too many.

Thanks for that Sophie I am going to look Lilly Sabri up .

I also don't want to be skinny, but would love to get 'ripped' like Jillian. I see a lot of inspiring posts on FB where women of my age (49) and older have got the most awesome arms and I am aiming for that. I also see my mum, who is only 69, struggling up and down stairs and I really don't want to end up like that, hence I have to suffer Jillian 30 minutes a day.

"With that said" BR phase 1 week 2 WO3 done

HIIT today: JM's Hard Body L2 (hard and did not enjoy) plus strength for abs (day 13 of my 14 day challenge)

Roonetta, I couldn't be bothered to isolate body parts so just wrote strength for whole body. For strength I'm currently following workouts from
Lilly Sabri on you tube. I love her workouts. She has a lot of 10/15 minutes workouts for different body parts and they are very very good. Eg I could never straighten my legs in boat hold as my abs were weak after the pregnancies and now I can straighten my legs in boat hold. I tend to combine workouts and challenges to get a real variety.

Lilly sabri has an amazing, strong body - not too skinny. Just got and healthy and strong and I find that very inspiring.

Glad to hear you had a nice break SophieLion 😊. When you say “strength for the whole body” what do you do? Is it a specific programme?

Well done for the run before heading off MotherForkin - that’s dedication 😀

Hope you are feeling less tired Oubliette. Sometimes we have to listen to what our body is telling us ☺️

BR phase 1 cardio 1 done. I am going away for a week from next Saturday. This will be a real test for me whether I still keep it up when I have had a week off. We are staying in a caravan so don’t think I will be able to do any JM’ing while away. Hopefully not too many ice creams will be consumed 😳

It was lovely, thanks MotherForkin. Well done you for getting a run in before your car journey. Hope it goes smoothly and have a lovely holiday.

5km run for me Today plus strength for whole body. Must try some HIIT again soon - for some
Reason really gone off it recently.

How was your trip Sophie?

I got out for a run early before we left for our looooong drive. We've just arrived...I'll probably have a rest day tomorrow and check out the gym on Monday

Days exercised 162.

Enjoy your holiday MotherForkin!!!

Back from island and exhausted so couldn't face cardio or HIIT. Did one hour strength for butt, abs and arms today.

Seems you've all been very busy exercise-wise

Days exercised 168

BR phase 1 WO4 done ☺️ - was tough today. Used heavier weights and sweated profusely. It’s very hot 🥵

Thanks roonetta

Have a fab holiday @MotherForkinShirtBalls 😁

I had an unplanned rest day yesterday. Despite getting 7.5 hours's sleep every night this week, I've been utterly exhausted so I gave myself the night off. Felt much better for a hard weights class today.

I'm off on holidays for two weeks tomorrow so might be a bit hit and miss.

Happy weekend!

Days exercised 161.

Rest day today as I have to go into the office on Fridays. I know what you mean about the heat Oubliette (hot not angry )

BR phase 1 WO3 done. Felt it was a nice workout today - used heavier weights and my new cable, yay! The cable is a killer so I am not sure if I should have bought a lighter resistance

I know what you mean about the cake @Oubliette. My DC were actually getting on today which meant I had a spare 30 mins so I also did Killer Arms and Back level 1 for the first time ever. I liked it. Go me for doing 2 workouts in one day 😁. Think it’ll be a one off though.

OMG MotherForkin that sounds amazing! I don't think I would have stopped at one slice Well done on the hill run! You would have worked all that cake off already

BR Cardio 1 done. I hate running man . Felt nicely out of puff though.

Even I can't convince myself of that roonetta, it was chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and white chocolate Swiss meringue butter cream

Hill run this morning. I haven't done it in ages so it was hard! I have an appointment later so will walk there and back for a total of about 5km too.

Days exercised 160.
