Oh, emom routines are brutal, no wonder your arms are dead. My pt (sob, I'm still sad she's shut up shop) used to make me do them as finishers after circuits.

I'm exhausted today so it's going to be walking rather than running the school run.

I remember the EMOM Roonetta. I found it really hard and my arms gave out on me at the end (I think it finished with tricep push ups?). Yeah I didn't take photos because that not really my thing but now I'm curious!!

I agree with everyone else. EMOM is evil. Much more so than Jillian (yes - even BFBM).

Ri30 L2D3 and KAbs L1D5 (60 min)

(67/183; 69h 30min)

Epic day 37 lower body - lots of Bulgarian lunges - plus a lilly sabri lower abs session.

Days exercised 70

Was planning a rest day today and maybe a WWL, but for some mad reason decided to do Cardio 2 from Body Revolution. My fitness has definitely improved (especially the burpees) but wow, I had forgotten what a beast Jillian is!

Definitely counting this as a days exercise!

Days exercised 59

Run and short swim this morning. It was too cold and choppy for a long one. I have also done a lot of walking, 22k steps so far. I've no idea how you do this regularly and get a day's work done, Oubliette!

@MotherForkinShirtBalls - I spend my breaks walking and walk at the beginning/end of the day too. I only get to 20,000+ if it’s the weekend or if I have a town hall type meeting where I can listen on my phone and walk at the same time.

KAbs L2D5 and Ri30 L3D4 (60 min)

(68/182; 70h 30min)

Well done on the steps Motherforkin

Epic day 31 abs and glutes done.

Days exercised 60

I didn't do epic today as was exhausted and had to take cat to vet first thing. I did do a 10 mins lilly sabri butt workout with DD and then a lower abs session but not sure it was enough exercise to count as a proper exercise day!

Back to epic tomorrow I hope !

I very nearly took today as a rest day. But in the end I persevered. Ri30 L3D5 and KAbs L3D5 (60 min)

(69/181; 71h 30min)

Epic day 38 upper body plus a girvan lower abs session

Days exercised 71

Hope your cat is okay Sophie.

Epic day 32 obliques and abs done

Days exercised 61

I did a Girvan abs workout today and I though I was going to die. It was brutal! No wonder she has a washboard stomach! I couldn't do half of it. So i did a cardio/toning one too to make up for it.

Cardio for me this evening. BFBM (50 min)

(70/180; 72h 20min)

Epic day 39 full body. This seemed to last ages. She had bear walk with weights.....!

Yes the cat is ok. Slight injury to leg but nothing serious. Thanks for asking Roonetta

Which abs workout did you do MotherForkin? I saw she has some that are 30 mins or so. Sounds hardcore.

Days exercised 72

It was only 20 mins, Sophie. Every minute felt like an hour.

Run and swim today. The weather is very mixed. It was beautiful although windy for the run, cold with glorious sunshine for the swim and snowing an hour later!

Happy weekend everyone.

20 mins is a long time on abs with girvan MotherForkin !!! I like to try and do 5 or 10 mins as a finisher as I don't feel my abs (particular lower) are getting worked all that much with epic. Do you feel the same roonetta or not really? I think because of my diastatis recti, I need to keep working at my abs regularly

Happy weekend! I’ve just done 6W6P L1D6 and Ri30 L3D6 (65 min). Planning a rest day tomorrow.

(71/179; 73h 25min)

I feel my abs are worked more with girvan, but I do have weak stomach muscles. They always feel really sore the day after. I have an issue with leg raises, because I find my back arches and no matter what I do I can’t get it to lie flat against the floor. Any tips for this would be gratefully received

Rest day yesterday. Epic day 33 dumbbell legs and biceps done

Days exercised 62

Epic day 40 dumbbell HIIT plus a lilly sabri lower abs workout.

Have you tried making a diamond shaped with your hands under your tail bone Roonetta? Or you can bend your legs (instead of straight) or lower only for as long as you feel your lower back is in contact with the floor. So don't go all the way down.

Days exercised 73

Thanks for the tip about hands under the tailbone Sophie.I will try that next time . I wonder if it is something which will improve with time or whether my back will always be arched

Epic day 34 full body workout done. I am not a fan of the chair workouts (unless I am sat on it). I always feel really unsteady and like my feet are going to fall off.

Days exercised 63

Epic day 41 glutes and hamstrings (she used a resistance band and a yoga block for a couple of exercises) plus lilly sabri abs and core.

I think once your abs get stronger Roonetta, you'll be able to pull (suck in) your belly button more towards your back during ab work and then your back shouldn't be so arched. I've found doing 5 or 10 mins of abs a few times a week made a big difference. Since starting epic and doing longer abs sessions but less often, I've found I've lost a lot of ab strength and definition.

Days exercised 74

I had 2 rest days over the weekend. One planned- one unplanned. Back to circuits tonight: Ri30 L3D7 and 6W6P L2D6 (65 min)

(72/178; 74h 30min)

Epic day 42 shoulders and core plus a couple of short lilly sabri abs workouts.

Days exercised 75

Epic day 35 tabata HIIT - I really don't like her HIIT workouts. I might start doing some Lilly Sabri 5 minute abs to get this six pack looking less like a barrel.
