Will definitely look it up Hermione

Epic day 25 (half way!) HIIT full body workout, 60 exercises. This was a good one even though it was longer than her usual HIIT workouts.

I generally hate exercise, but I don’t hate the Les Mills stuff I do. ‘Enjoy’ would be a stretch but I don’t hate it.

They do a 30 day free trial if you’re interested and so many different workouts - I tend to do pump, grit strength and I’ve just started getting into core.

Hi @HermioneWeasley Smile - I am a traitor too as I am not following Jillian’s programme at the moment. Be nice to see you join us again, even if you aren’t Jillianing! How are you finding Les Mills?

Popping in to say ‘hi’ to everyone now that I’m a traitor and hang out on the Les Mills threads.

Only one day of 30DS L1 to go...then the evil
lateral lunges are gone! I am so stiff though - the stretches at the end, I am as flexible as a plank of wood Grin

Wow super impressed with the wheel push ups Algonquin! I can’t even get into bridge 😂. You’re nearly done, any idea what’s next?

Rest day for me today.

Day 75 of BR today - actually managed a few of those wheel push ups, my shoulders will pay for that tomorrow though!! Only ten more workouts to go Grin

AlgonquinBay · 10/03/2021 22:02

Day 74 of BR today (yesterday was a "rest day" aka a 3 mile run and more fence painting!). Workout 1 of week 11/12 is a killer though. One circuit has bear walks, dive bombers and crab kicks and it is a killer. BlushBlush

Took DS1 for his school COVID test today (which was negative) so it's all go for his return to school on Friday. DS2 has been in all week, so Friday will be v strange in a good way!

30DS L1 D7 done ✅

Will be establishing a new routine as the school run returns yet WFH continues ! I think it will mean getting up earlier Confused

AlgonquinBay · 08/03/2021 19:29

Now 3 rest days does actually sound epic I must say roonetta Grin** -
laying a floor, less so!

Day 73 of BR here - nearly there!! Although some of the week 11-12 exercises I swear are actually impossible!! Confused

Great to see you back @CalmConfident Smile

Thanks for the kind thoughts about my DS everyone. Fingers crossed he will be okay.

I’m embarrassed to say I have had three rest days Blush. In my defence we have been laying a floor all weekend so no time or energy for a 1 hour full body workout. Back at it tomorrow.

OP posts:
AlgonquinBay · 06/03/2021 21:39

Ah roonetta I hope your DS is okay next week - it's awful when you're worried about your kids. Fingers crossed it goes well. Thanks

Welcome back calmconfident I have been doing a bit of running too. Did 3 miles this morning and a load of gardening so no Jillian today but day 71 beckons tomorrow!

ProfessorRadcliffeEmerson · 06/03/2021 16:05

Nice to see you again, @CalmConfident! Hope you’re fully recovered.

I’m on yoga with Adriene this week, which I don’t think really counts as exercise.

Fingers crossed for your DS, @roonetta.

CalmConfident · 06/03/2021 11:08

Looking forward to seeing how everyone is doing, a quick scan looks super awesome! You fit people !!!!

CalmConfident · 06/03/2021 11:05

Sneaking back into the thread after an injury recovery break. Focused on running instead, but back on classic 30DS, up to L1D5

Painting a fence is definitely considered a workout in my book Algonquin as are 12 hour shifts! I remember thinking workout 11 was the hardest of all the workouts, but you are on the home straight and that feels great Star

Thanks Professor Blush. I am really enjoying Epic, apart from the HIIT workouts which are ridiculously hard. Thought my DC were back on Monday but now they have to have COVID tests before going back so DS is back on Wednesday and DD on Friday for 1 day 🙄. Part of me is happy they are going back but part of me knows my DS’s anxiety will start up again once he goes back. Hopefully this time at home has shown him that being in school isn’t all bad.

Anyway after all that waffle, it is actually a rest day for me so no exercising to report 😃
