After a week of absolutely no exercise, I eased myself in gently with a 2 mile boosted WWL. Will aim to do something for the next few days and then I’m away for a couple of days with my sister.

Welcome back @calmconfident! Hope they Shred is going well?

I’m now on Week 5 and 6 of Body Shred. Some of the moves are actually insane so I do a bit of swapping out to exercises I can actually do!

This morning I did 6W6P L2 instead of Body Shred cardio. Finally worked out how to sync my phone to our TV so I can view the app on a big screen - it’s a revelation!!

It’s been a while but back with Jillian so thought I’d rejoin the thread.

After great success in lockdown 1 I got injured last autumn and it all went a bit off track. Summary…I am almost back where I started Confused

However, just finished level 1 of 30 Day shred and on a mission! Glad to see people are still here crushing it Smile

Still doing Body Shred! It’s quite a lot harder than Body Revolution I must say! Going away for the weekend so I’ll probably do a workout first thing tomorrow morning before we leave, then I’ll be taking 3 days rest.

Sorry to hear you have anxiety Wineloffa. I agree exercise is a great medicine for lots of things. Well done on getting through it StarFlowers.

Hi @gratedbeetroot - let us know how you get on with CG’s full body dumbbell workout. I think you’ll like it!

This morning I did Day 4 of Body Shred followed by a Power Yoga session from Jillian’s app. Really struggling with anxiety again this week so really had to force myself through some of it but felt a bit better afterwards. Endorphins are good medicine.

Hello Beetroot Smile - Getting back into it once you have stopped for a while is hard. You are still doing brilliantly with the running - keep going! Star

Good afternoon! Well done on keeping it up both of you!

I’ve been doing the odd JM workout (did L&S earlier) but I just can’t seem to get back into it properly since finishing BR. I’ve kept up running a few times a week though.

I need to make myself a timetable as I’ll be more likely to stick to it I think.

I still haven’t tried CG! I need to find this full body dumbbell workout.

20 minute Girvan dumbbell leg workout.

Days exercised 183. I've worked out that I will need to exercise for 57 days to reach my goal of 240 and there are only 73 days left until the end of the year. So, yep, that's probably not happening grin

Yes I do enjoy them @Wineloffa but I only did the 30 minute one yesterday. I can’t seem to find the time to do any more than that at the moment Sad

@roonetta did you enjoy the full body dumbbell work out? I love it and try to do it once a week now.

This morning I did Body Shred Day 4. Omg! So tough!!!

@roonetta I did enjoy the Caroline workout as it was a lot less frantic than Jillian’s, less jumping around, etc. but very intense, hence the soreness!

I did 6W6P L1 this morning instead of Body Shred cardio.

Ahh yes her full body workouts are a killer Wineloffa Grin. Did you enjoy it?

@roonetta well done on the exercise! I’m really struggling with the no booze too although at least it makes me more enthusiastic for exercise, especially at the weekends!

Today I did Body Shred Day 2. Still enjoying this although my glutes and arms are still sore from the Caroline Girvan full body dumbbell workout I did on Sunday..

I must confess Wineloffa that 'no chocolate October' is not going well Blush

Haven’t exercised since Wednesday, but did walk to and from work on Friday and did 18,000 steps yesterday on a walk with my sister so don’t feel too bad about it. Randomly did Epic 3 day 24 today as that popped up on YouTube when I was deciding what to do. Full body dumbbell workout. Felt good 😊

Thanks Wineloffa. I don't count calories and I know that weight loss is 80% diet and 20% exercise so I really should. I have done it before and found it time consuming so I just cut back on what I was eating, but I know an extra couple of ounces here and there really do make a difference. Maybe I will start making my portions smaller and see if that helps. Cutting out the chocolate for October may help Grin How is your Sober October going?

Girvan 500 rep shoulder challenge done.

@roonetta are you calorie counting to make sure you’re in a calorie deficit? My Fitness Pal is really good. I lost 10lbs before my 40th a couple of years by logging everything I ate and restricting to 1200/ 1300 calories per day.

You’re already so good with your exercise so don’t really know what to suggest in that department!
