Beachbody thread 7 (LIIFT, T25, 21 day fix etc) plus a lovely Beachbody new arrival!

[Theromanempire]

New thread all

plink I love the circuit workouts but they always fool me into thinking they are going to be easy but they hurt!! Shoulder intervals are definitely the easiest of them all and there for my favourites

[Theromanempire]

I did 80DO when it came out - it felt ok at the time and we liked it but, in hindsight, the workouts were too long and it got a bit boring by the end. Autumn was chatty but no more than others (I didn't think) and there was a lot of time to fill in 80 workouts

However, I have totally turned off Shaun T! Too full of motivation shit on his social media posts and his workouts are too full on for me so I have unfollowed him as it was really starting to piss me off!

All about Joel and Megan here

Anyone still around? @reastie @Theromanempire @yumyumpoppycat @purpleraindeer

Anyone fallen spectacularly off the wagon like me? 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

[Reastie]

I’m so excited to find you! Thanks for the @ing plink! I’ve been on the board several times but could never find the thread to ask how you all are. Bookmarking to reply properly later.

Ha no problem Reastie!

Been ages since I've been on and I wondered if everyone was still chatting but it appears not!
I need to get back onto things. Maybe everyone is in a similar boat?

Ive taken it easy with DD but we've now slipped into some pretty bad habits and I want to break them. Far too many takeaways.

I've had my vaccine too... I was added to the list as I had GD with DS. I totally forgot that it puts me at risk of type 2 diabetes for the rest of my life so... it was a bit of a wake up call.

In other news, OH is now fiancé we got engaged at Xmas and it's all very exciting. Of course, no planning or booking yet but in my head I'm super excited and planning many things 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Summer is coming and I'd like to be under 11st 7 if I can.

[Reastie]

Plink congrats on engagement ❤️.

So things exercise wise not good. I finally went to the physio after months of back pain late last year. She has banned all exercise apart from walking and a recovery Pilates dvd. Which is SO DULL. I can’t even tell you. It’s not really exercise it’s more gentle stretches and bends type stuff. I try to do it 3-4 times a week but it’s so dull I struggle with motivation, which of course doesn’t help the situ and my back is still hurting. I tried some massively modified body balance and low impact walking workout a couple of weeks ago and it really Claire’s my back up. I just despair! I have zero strength and fitness. At week ends I try to go for a couple of walks for maybe 10k each, but that’s it.

[Reastie]

Ps despite getting Wobblier and rounder I’m still roughly pre preg weight, but can’t fit in anything I did wear, so I presume I’m a lot more fatty and a lot less muscle that I was!

[PlinkPlink]

Walking and Pilates aw man... did she say what it was that was wrong with your back? Sounds so frustrating!!

Ha don't get me started on clothes mine are so unflattering at the moment.

[Reastie]

It’s not even decent Pilates, it’s so dull injury recovery Pilates that’s like an old persons beginners Pilates, it isn’t exercise! I’m so frustrated! She said it was muscular, which I guess is good....

Last night I thought I’d do a squat against the wall and hold in place for fun to see how strong I was. I could manage about ten seconds! I used to hold it for like a minute and do two reps when I did p90x 😭.

I’m other news I think I’m going to have to unlike Tania the machine baron on Instagram as her posts always come up on my time line and I’m finding her increasingly annoying. She’s now offering holidays where you go on holiday to meet and travel with her. So those group holiday snaps with her ‘gang’ all having fun by a nice backdrop she posts sometimes, I guess that’s just people that pay over the odds to go on holiday with her but don’t know her. She must make a fortune. The whole Instagram just seems so false and it gives me the rage!

[PlinkPlink]

God Wall sits 🙈🙈🙈 I used to do loads for rugby but I bet I couldn't even manage 20 secs now 🤣

Oh no Tania! I stopped following her a while ago but I just flicked on to see whats new... she's so irritating 😆 all she does is constantly reminisce about the time she was dancing behind Britney Spears, put on random dances and videos of her making drinks and dancing whilst she's drinking them 🤷🏻‍♀️ How is she successful? I don't understand 😂

[yumyumpoppycat]

Oh my goodness so happy to see some updates from you plink and Reastie! Like Reastie I had been looking on the board from time to time but not finding the thread! congratulations on your engagement plink 🎊 🥂

Hopefully you can move on from the boring Pilates soon Reastie - that does not sound fun.

I had totally let things slide but I am beginning to want to pull my socks up and get disciplined. Haven't really been calorie counting but eating a lot less and hardly drinking for 2 or 3 months. I am prob 10lbs down but have a lot to loose it's a bit painfully slow! If I do have a day off and a couple of drinks I don't lose at all the rest of the week😱 There is room for me to get more strict at least I guess.

Time to start exercising again I think - I will prob sign up to bb or les mills but I have stacks of exercise dvds so think I might do an exercise dvd challenge first.

Hope everyone else is well ☺️

Oh my goodness it's been a year! Hello on the remote off chance anyone sees this! I was the last person to post but signed out of account.

Back doing bbod I wanted to do autumn's new plan as it seemed a good place to start with no impact - didn't want to pay extra just for access but it worked out the same with a shakeology trial, the exercise ball and pots etc so went for that. 3 out of 4 weeks done now on gut protocol and 4 everybody - working out better than expected.

[PlinkPlink]

I see you Yum! Haha

Oh well done! Did you do the whole year subscription to get that?

No workouts here. It's been a rollercoaster year so working out has really fallen off the radar. I got myself a foam roller today though so I'm hopimg to start up again soon!

[user1471561661]

Hi plink! thanks for reply! hope things are calming down for you now? Good luck with foam roller - I keep nearly buying one - sounds like a good way to get muscles prepared!

Yes I get to do the bbod for the year but I only get a month of the live classes as cancelled that - but annoying as I want to do the autumn workouts first and live stuff will have ran out by then. Also the shakeology is a crazy price on subscription so cancelled it on live chat as soon as the first packet arrived!

[user1471561661]

2 more 4 every body workouts to go trying to decide what work out to do next. I probably should repeat it but bring in a range of weights 🤔

[PlinkPlink]

Well... sort of. Eldest has all but officially beem diagnosed with ADHD. It's an ongoing thing. Very much a rollercoaster still but we do what we can.

Oh man I'd love to have Shakeology but like you say it's so damn expensive 😱 I was looking at their other packages and thinking of trying their collagen supplement.

What's the 4everybody one like?

[user1471561661]

I really liked 4 every body, it was hard but in a good way. Last work out today and It sucked a little but I enjoyed most of the workouts once I got past week 1. My only gripe was the modifier was at the back and they didn't properly demo modifications before the move got started - I think the logic was that the workout didn't need much modification but I could have done with more!

Hopefully when your eldest gets officially diagnosed it will help with getting the right support in🤞 my brother's littlest looks to have adhd and they are exhausted- such a cutie and clever but can't take their eyes off him!

I have started taking marine collagen from Amazon as cheaper but too soon to notice a difference. My hair definitely needs a boost - years of yo-yoing had taken a toll 😫

[user1471561661]

This is the pack I had www.teambeachbody.com/shop/gb/b/fitness/programs/4web?gbbCategoryId=total-solution-packs-sell-pages/total-solution-packs-4wgp/total-solution-packs-4wgp-shakeology but it looks as though total solutions early access pack to fire and flow is cheaper and comes with bod and 1 month shakeology

[user1471561661]

Just completed week 1 liift - tried the first workouts of barre blend and job1. I keep reading good things about barre blend so might go back to that, I also was pretty pleased by the fact job1 is so short! Exercise seems to be an expensive hobby as I have just bought a cheapo spin bike 🤦🏻‍♀️
