Caroline Girvan 2026- sore but still scrolling.

A lot of unhappy people on Reddit too. Some talk about the fact Caroline is battling injuries as well as perimenopause, I feel sorry for her but business is business and if she doesn’t deliver people will go elsewhere for their trainer. https://www.reddit.com/r/CarolineGirvan/s/cekhKGYYqK

I’m doing Rev just now and really liking it. I somehow missed that as in think it's a ‘series’ rather than a ‘programme’. If I have time I do the full three circuits but if I’m short of time I’ll just do two and feel it’s a good workout. There’s still a few programmes I haven’t done on the app (I rarely workout 5 days a week so I’m behind) so I don’t mind that there’s no new programme announced yet. I get that if you’ve done every workout on the app you’ll be desperate for new content.

I am turning into a blob! I haven't really been doing anything, just working too much. It's a busy time of year for both of my careers and combined with the house move and a pet having surgery, I've been putting my health too far down the list. Got out for a run today, though, which was lovely. I sat down to start working and then thought sod it, I'm getting out in that sunshine.

A new program is probably what I need for motivation. Maybe I will try the christmas series as I think 20 minutes would be manageable and might get me back in the swing of things.

Yeah kinds wish I hadn't signed up to the app myself but in the grand scheme of things, I'm haemorrhaging cash at the moment with the house move so that pales in comparison!

There’s about 250 comments on the FB group- solely about her new pup, but obviously no one asking for an explanation as to why there’s no new series because that post wouldn’t make it through the admins !
Now I am a HUGE dog lover… but….
1 programme only this year… Really?? That’s going to be half the year gone before she does another one
I am increasingly frustrated and peed off that she can’t tell us when the next programme or series is so that we can plan on how to fill out time whilst waiting . It’s really unacceptable
If I hadn’t paid annually I’d cancel and move to Heather Robertson

Sooo - no new programme in May. What are the FB members saying? I’m a little disappointed, even the new workouts on the May calendar aren’t inspiring, same old same old. I get the impression that Caroline maybe regretting bringing out an App and doing everything herself, it’s a lot of work. Mentioning the new puppy may garner some goodwill but I think she will start losing subscribers it this carries on.

I'm another one taking a break from Caroline and doing Heather Robertson. I've almost finished her 12 week Power programme. Day 59 today was a tabata. A warm up, 6 rounds of tabata and a cool down all done in 32 minutes. I was dead afterwards, but in a good way.

Like @whatwoulddexterdo, I did a HR strength and cardio workout a while ago and was shocked at how hard the cardio felt as my overall fitness had definitely dropped. I really need cardio built into an exercise programme. I try to walk a lot but it's obviously not enough. So Power has been really good in that respect. I wouldn't have been able to do the tabata I did today a couple of months ago without taking breaks.

I am planning to go back to Caroline, but the YouTube series such as Epic Heat or Fuel. The app is not for me. I can't face workouts with endless rear delt flies or hip thrusts. I'm not dissing her because repetition is great for building muscle, but if I don't have variety I can't motivate myself and I hit a wall.

I’ve been doing Heather while I wait for a new CG series (fingers crossed for Fuel Two, but I’m probably alone there…) but don’t want to talk too much about it on a thread about Caroline! Did a glute workout where she made me do very mean things with a band while muttering ‘Caroline never makes me do this.’

Today’s was a unilateral leg day where the entire first circuit was on one side, and the second on the other side. I wonder what the science is behind that, or if she just prefers it!

Tomorrow’s cardio looks unspeakable: ‘During each 5 minute circuit you will perform each cardio exercise for 8 reps. Complete as many rounds as possible within the 5 minutes.’ 😱

Oh I hate cardio too.
I do try to make myself do it once a week but usually find an excuse not to.
For me it's best if it's included within a strength workout then I will do it, but like you say caroline rarely does.(apart from one of her new workouts which I haven't done yet)
I to am finding when I do a cardio session now it's harder work than it used to be.
I blame age and wine

Hello - this thread has been quiet and I’ve missed hearing what you’re all up
to
I have taken a break from CG as have completed all her programmes and series
I am on week 2 of Heather Robertson express 3 which I’m really enjoying as it’s just a bit different and unfortunately there’s quite a bit of cardio thrown in which I absolutely hate. But I’ve noticed I’m finding a lot harder recently, which is either due to age or the fact that CG just doesn’t include this anymore.
Not missing the hyper focus on felts and glutes though !!

Hi all.
Is Goback really banned from here??? I miss her contributions to this thread, it is definitely quieter without her.
What is everyone doing now? I am doing the suggested calendar just not always in the correct order or the same week.
I am enjoying doing this because all the workouts are new to me, as I only got the app in December and only really done one full program so far (PLAY)
I recently did the lower body one which required balancing on one leg quite a bit in the bodyweight section, THREE days later and the DOMs are still there!

Haha, yes that was it. I think I could do weighted jacks/punches with 2kgs. But it would feel totally pointless using those with curls! I think the best thing is to think, what weights would I use if this was a CG workout?

Yes ive tried a few heather workouts and whilst I enjoy them as they are more varied I do think she is using light weights and therefore I cant properly gauge what I should be using the same.
I've done quite a few where she starts doing weighted punches or jacks with her weights that she was previously using for curls or something.

I finally finished Play. Really enjoyed it, even the ‘groan not more glutes’ days were not too bad. Started Heather’s ‘Fierce’ programme while waiting for the next CG. Day one was quite good, I think she was going quite light on the weights though. She started doing weighted punches, I looked at my lightest weights (4kgs) and thought, I don’t think so lady…

I liked that one too! And yes—my legs…

I finally got round to doing the new legs one - agility and strength - on Friday. I really enjoyed it - it felt a bit different - but the DOMs yesterday and today are unreal! I might repeat it next week as it's obviously doing something!

Play day 17 for me today - a no repeat upper body. The first 25% disappeared the the rest dragged on but it was good to do it. I've got 9 left in the play program now. I'm going to try to get them finished this month, as well as get some more runs in. I've got a couple of work trips coming up so not going to have weights with me.

@BigButtons that sounds rough! Get well soon.

I've started Beastmode. I'm quite enjoying the contrast to Iron, and the workouts go by quickly.

No HIIT days though, I'm happy with my running.

@BigButtons sorry to hear you are still ill, that's a bad one! Hopefully you feel better soon. Good call on the new leg day one - I will give that a whirl later in the week. I need some doms to make me feel like I'm doing something...

Yeah house and work stress. Been very snappy with DP too and he's fed up with me. The house sale is going really fast, I think everything is nearly done, but the house purchase hasn't even left the starting blocks - still no paperwork from our vendors solicitor (estate agent says the solicitor is really good, so it's the vendors themselves who are shit). I hope we don't end up having to move out before our purchase is secured. Also getting hammered with work by the freelance company I work with (one of my three jobs) and I keep telling them I have enough work, and they keep trying to book client meetings that clash with my PAYE job. I'm ready to tell them to get fucked but I do need the money to move so biting my tongue.

I did the agility and strength workout and really liked it.

Get properly better @BigButtons !

It’s quiet on here! I’ve been ill and stressed and neglecting exercise. I did play day 38 this morning and felt much better for doing so though. And it’s so nice to have some sun!

hope you’re all okay.
