I bet those workouts clock up a decent amount of steps on their own Oubliette.

BS WO6 done for the last time. Now moving on to WOs 7 and 8 and admit to being a bit worried! One of the cast says something in workout 6 "You get what you work for, not what you wish for" and this really resonates with me for some reason. I know my tummy certainly won't get any smaller just by wishing for it Grin

Also a small victory in that I got my DS out for a walk this morning before home schooling began. I can't believe he actually came with me, but his mood has been getting lower recently and he really needed it. Am going to try and get him to come with me at least a few times a week. Not sure how long it will last though.

Days exercised 20.

I barely made it past 10,000 steps today. It’s just too icy out there. I did do some indoor exercise though: KB&T L3D6 & 30DS L2D8

Days exercised: 21 days

Great to see you back Tiny! 😃. Keep us updated on your progress.

BS WO5 done for the last time.

Forgot to add my WWL as a day exercised, so days exercised 19 (I think 🤔)

Hello all, I'm delighted to see so many of you working hard and still "Jillianing" it this year Wink

I fell off the wagon completely since Christmas and only managed to restart BR this morning. I really enjoyed it last time so I'm just gonna do it again.
I've kept up some running but less than before Christmas too so I need to ramp that back up, but it's-1 here and icy so no way was I running this morning. Maybe later..

Anyway, I'm also trying to stay off my phone a bit too so probably won't post every day but good luck to you all. Keep on crushing it 💪

I thought the same about the burpees Yesbutno but I can now manage them, not with quite as much gusto as Jillian of course, but baby steps 😆

Rest day yesterday and I nearly had another today but realised I had been literally sat on my ass the whole day so made myself do a 5k WWL and feel better for it. Such a lazy weekend Blush

30DS L2D7 & KB&T L2D6 - one of my least favourite combinations! I'm planning a rest day tomorrow.

Days exercised: 20

Yesbutno · 22/01/2021 16:25

One arm burpees?! Ooh no not looking forward to those no way I'll ever be able to do them anyway

I agree Yesbutno about the "suicides". I don't get what she finds so hard about them, but she doesn't seem to find one arm burpees a problem!

BS WO6 done

@OublietteBravo you’ve exercised nearly every day - that’s brilliant

HermioneWeasley · 22/01/2021 10:22

Body pump again this morning. Feeling strong!

OublietteBravo · 21/01/2021 19:28

I could only face a shorter session this evening. Strength: NMTZ

Days exercised: 19

Oops - I dropped off the thread. Still Jillianing. Working my way through 30DS and KB&T at the moment.

HermioneWeasley · 20/01/2021 20:08

Welcome @napody!

Yesbutno · 20/01/2021 18:51

I was the same with those side planks when I did 6W6P @napody!

Still going with BR - workouts 3 and 4 are tougher but do-able. I'm liking cardio phase 1 as it flies by but I hate those kick outs with arm circles - they kill me! She reckons "suicides" are the worst but I could do those all day compared to that one!

Well done everyone for all the hard work - this regime is really giving me a focus during the hardest month of the year, don't you agree?

napody · 20/01/2021 17:34

OK thanks for your help. So far have managed the lower level of 6W6P twice, and can only hold the side planks, not lift lower leg up! Will be chuffed if I can even manage that!

Hi @napody - please join us, everyone is welcome 🙂.

You can get Body Shred on her App, or I do it from the website Bilibili.com which is the Chinese version of YouTube. Type her name into the search bar and it will come up. I think you can also get second hand copies on EBay if you prefer DVD versions, but I think the price and availability varies depending on where you are in the world.

Look forward to you checking in with your progress with 6W6P 👍🏻

Can I join if I am just attempting 6 week 6 pack? Just looked up BS and it looks intense...and expensive! Is it worth it?

The cardio put you off Hermione Grin - well earned rest days I would say Star

What number workout are you currently on Algonquin? Well done for getting up early to get your workouts in!

BS cardio 2. Killer Angry (hot not angry) Awesome calorie burn though.

HermioneWeasley · 20/01/2021 12:48

Well done. I’ve been inactive since Monday

AlgonquinBay · 19/01/2021 22:08

Another early start to do Day 38 of BR this morning for me ✅
