Or are the rest of you gym honed goddess’? Seriously though, my glutes are screaming. And I have to do it again in ten minutes. It’s going to be very painful...

My legs are on fire it hurts to move 😭

Just wish he'd do one without jumping or running as we live in a 4th floor flat! Neighbours would not be happy!

SugarMiceInTheRain · 24/03/2020 14:14

I'm with you. It hurts just to stand up from my chair! Grin but I'm doing it again tomorrow. I'm ashamed at how out of shape I am but by the end of this lockdown we'll be fit!!!

Literally cannot stand that smug git. Thankfully my DS can't either Grin

100% agree.

I do Insanity and my legs are still killing me from yesterday! Which is weird as more of the excersizes were similar to Insanity and easier 🤷‍♀️

SybilWrites · 24/03/2020 14:16

I'm fit - we did 2 Joe Wicks workouts yesterday (I did another one with my older dd later on in the day). Today my legs and arms really hurt.

I'm aiming to come out of this crisis absolutely ripped.

Noodlenosefraggle · 24/03/2020 14:18

Doing it this morning has revealed 3 things

*1. I'm stupidly unfit

  1. I'm stupidly unco-ordinated
  2. My kids are better at PE than I am*

Exactly this in our house too Grin

DobbyTheHouseElk · 24/03/2020 14:20

My inner thighs are sore. I’m going to be so fit.

puppymouse · 24/03/2020 14:26

DH is hooked. DD not so keen Grin

Wotrewelookinat · 24/03/2020 15:01

I hate Joe Wicks’s exercise videos, I tried 2 separate HIIT sessions a few months ago and they both caused injuries that took ages to get better. He didn’t advise any warm up or stretching.

Peninsula I don't remember that bit but I do remember being young and wondering how on earth Leslie managed to sing so well whilst doing aerobics at the same time!

Lordfrontpaw · 24/03/2020 16:59

This thread has made me laugh! Is it in the tv then?

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 24/03/2020 17:07

Stiffened up this afternoon.

I happy to admit I am unfit. I've also got two very good motivators right now. We've all got to start somewhere.

Lord front paw, it’s on YouTube - check it out, if you’re a masochist...

OMG. My thighs. I have stiffened up so much this afternoon, I am actually grunting when I sit down. He’s meant to be making me fit, not killing me!

I can't go up/down the straits and I can't get off the toilet seat after yesterday's Exercise 😂🤣

DobbyTheHouseElk · 24/03/2020 20:57

He mentioned something about muscles ripping/tearing and repairing stronger.....

CastleSalem · 24/03/2020 21:02

It would be improved 100% by him wearing duct tape over his mouth and playing music instead. He only has to chirp ‘Shout-out to Harry in Jamaica!’ and I want to kick him in the head.

Binterested · 24/03/2020 21:06

He is very annoying. It’s weird that he’s so popular as he’s not very interesting or charismatic. We laughed when he did a shout out to someone ‘All the way over in Cumbria’. I think he thought it was Colombia Grin

Still I’m giving it a go - me and the kids.

FlowerArranger · 24/03/2020 21:09

Warm up is vital!!
And stretching between sets. And especially at the end of the workout.

This is good for getting glutes into shape:

Lekky12 · 24/03/2020 21:11

My husband has just hobbled downstairs having done his 2nd morning with Joe and our 7yo!

noblegiraffe · 24/03/2020 21:17

Why are the kids not hobbling around and grasping the bannister to get up the stairs?

My kids aren’t super fit but aren’t moaning of sore thighs. It’s not fair.

Fespital · 24/03/2020 22:06

I didn't really know him but I thought he seemed a nice chap. Bloody hard work out and only one of the DC could keep up. I'm really feeling it but keen to do it daily.

FuckPolitenessSSDGM · 24/03/2020 22:12

I'm so glad it's not just me! My thighs are on fire and I've spent the day walking like John Wayne praying that the muscle aches are just Joe Wicks related and not the start of Covid 🙄. Two days in a row and I'm a wreck, I'll be faking it tomorrow.
