Ah yes duck walks. Is it the squat jack level? They hurt

Epic day 33 legs and biceps

Days exercised 65

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 17/03/2021 12:26

I had a gorgeous swim this morning (and yesterday evening). I'm planning either a run or trying out a bodyfit by Amy workout which I think I can modify well enough for my shoulder.

Lá Fhéile Pádraig Gach Duine 💚 (happy St Patrick's day, everyone)

roonetta · 17/03/2021 12:44

Lá Fhéile Pádraig Gach Duine to you too Motherforkin! I will start to become jealous once again of your sea swims now the weather is improving Grin

Oh no, the dreaded duck and bear walks and awful squat jacks. My least favourite Jillian level ever. Good luck Oubliette Star

Epic day 26 full body dumbbell workout. I liked this one despite having watched it through yesterday and convincing myself I would hate it. It seemed to go really quickly.

The swimming sounds lovely @MotherForkinShirtBalls. I can’t remember the last time I went swimming.

Ri30 L3D1 and 6W6P L1D5 (65 min). I’d forgotten about the tricep dips (ouch). Ah well, only 9 more days to go before level 4!

Belated happy St Patrick's Day MotherForkin ☘️☘️💚💚

7km interval run.

Epic day 27 triceps and core. Ouch that was really tough, a lot of stopping and starting. I really struggle to do some of the variations of push ups but if I do them on my knees they seem too easy if that makes sense. My arms will be paying for it tomorrow.

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 18/03/2021 18:12

I ended up going for a long walk yesterday so I did the fit by Amy routine today. I was OK and easy to modify but not a huge challenge. I'll keep it as an easy day workout I think but I like her so I'm going to look at more of her stuff.

OublietteBravo · 18/03/2021 19:30

NMTZ D7 (50 min). Can I be bothered to go and do the extra 3000 steps that way take me past 20,000?

Go on @OublietteBravo, you know you want to 😁. Amazing step count by the way Star

OublietteBravo · 18/03/2021 21:10

@roonetta
Well I wasn’t going to, and then I saw your post, so I did (step count now 20020).

Whoop whoop 🙌 @OublietteBravo Grin

SophieLion · 19/03/2021 07:15

Goodness 20,000 steps sounds an awful lot oubliette. Well done!!! 👏🏻 do your JM workouts get included in that? How many steps are they normally?

Epic day 34 full body for me today. That was so tough.

Days exercised 67

OublietteBravo · 19/03/2021 08:56

Yes - that includes the Jillian workouts, but they actual involve remarkably few steps (anywhere from 900 to 2200 steps in the combinations I’ve done, with the average being somewhere around 1500).

OP posts:
SophieLion · 19/03/2021 10:53

I wonder how it actually counts steps? And what counts as a step? I wonder if running on treadmill counts. My DCs probably know.

So do you keep having to go for long walks oubliette to get so many steps recorded?

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 19/03/2021 11:20

Treadmill steps should register, Sophie, I think it's the impact of a step that makes it count. I'm.in awe of 20k steps. I did a 4km run this morning and I'm only at 4500 steps! I'll walk the school run later (another 3ish km) and with general walking round the house, back and forth between my desk desk the kettle, etc I'll still be about 10-11k steps. I have no idea how I'd get to 20k.

Weather is gorgeous today so I'm also hoping I'll get down for a swim after work.

roonetta · 19/03/2021 16:33

Rest day today as my muscles are very sore. Did a 2 mile WWL but won’t count it as a day’s exercise

OublietteBravo · 19/03/2021 20:13

Mostly I spend my breaks walking round the block (one lap is pretty much exactly 1km, or around 1500 steps)

BFBM (50 min)

Epic day 28 (posterior chain). Enjoyed this one.

SophieLion · 21/03/2021 09:06

I really liked the posterior chain day too Roonetta.

Rest day yesterday and today tabata HIIT (day 35) - thank goodness it was only 30 mins!! - plus a short lilly sabri abs session.

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 21/03/2021 12:49

Hill run this morning and a sea swim. I'm in bed trying to warm myself up after it 🥶

roonetta · 21/03/2021 17:11

Hope you have warmed up now Motherforkin 🔥

Epic day 29 full body isometric workout done. That was tough on the old legs, they were definitely shaky at times.

Days exercised 57

OublietteBravo · 21/03/2021 19:10

Rest day yesterday (but 20,000 steps). 6W6P L2D5 and Ri30 L2D2 (65 min) this evening.

I think that's called an active rest day oubliette! Grin

You're hardcore MotherForkin! That sea sounds sooooo cold.

Did you take "before" photos when you started Epic Roonetta? I saw people do this on Instagram and wondering if my body has changed. I didnt take photos.

Day 36 back and biceps plus a short lilly sabri abs session.

Days exercised 69

roonetta · 22/03/2021 12:17

Think you should change your username to Herecomesthehotstepper Oubliette Grin

I didn't take any photos Sophie. I am always worried someone will end up seeing them! I definitely think my arms are looking more toned.

Epic day 30 Intense full body HIIT, EMOM (every minute on the minute). Wow, that was hard but fun. Yourself against the clock trying to finish 3 (sometimes 5) sets of exercises x 10 each. The quicker you are, the more rest you have in between. My arms are dead
