Epic day 47 lower body.

Lyme Regis will be lovely Roonetta. I miss the English countryside.

Days exercised 81

A holiday, any time, any where sounds fantastic, Roonetta! (Although maybe not at £2500 for a week in a caravan.)

Run this morning. It was absolutely beautiful, sun shining in a clear blue sky, but there was a strong, icy wind and i was not wearing enough layers.

Epic day 40 dumbbell HIIT done.

I channelled my inner Jillian today when I felt like giving up half way through. I heard “unless you puke, faint or die keep going”. It worked and I seemed to find a second wind .

Days exercised 69

I was a bit short of time, so I did BFBM (50 min).

(78/172; 80h 15min)

Day 48 epic upper body.

Days exercised 82

Epic day 41 glutes and hamstring ✅

Days exercised 70

6W6P L2D7 and Ri30 L4D2 (65 min)

(79/171; 81h 20min)

5km Interval run plus two lilly sabri abs workouts.

Days exercised 83

Epic day 42 shoulders and core. That was tough. Had to use my 3kg weights for most of it

Days exercised 71

Ri30 L4D3 and KAbs L1D7 (60 min). I almost did a shorter workout, but changed my mind because DS had stolen the 3kg dumbbells

(80/170; 82h 20min)

Are you dumbbells in the house oubliette? Or did he take them to boarding school?!Frustrating!!

Day 49 epic today. This was 45 minutes bodyweight strength (and was way easier than previous sessions. Lots of balancing which I'm ok at and some Jillian moves) then 20 mins of yoga stretching. Can't believe only one day left!

Days exercised 84

I had an off couple of days, just did some of ds's boxing footwork and a squat challenge with him instead of anything very much. But back on it with a run this morning. Haven't been swimming as it's been bitterly cold. I might brave it later and come home to light the fire!

@SophieLion - still in the house. Just 2 flights of stairs away from where I was exercising.

No one steals the dumbbells in this house, that would require effort .

So exciting you are almost done Sophie! Well done you 👏🔥

Hope you got a swim in Motherforkin

Epic day 43 quads and lower abs done ☑️

Days exercised 72

Perhaps it’s a sign that I need heavier dumbbells @roonetta

I did strength this evening: NMTZ (50 min)

(81/169; 83h 10min)

Epic day 50 one hour HIIT. Epic 1 completed!!

Days exercised 73

Well done Sophie!

I had a hill run this morning. Well, walk and run, it was bloody hard going. Then I went for a dip. The air was 1c and the water 8.5c but it was incredibly beautiful with the sun blazing in a clear blue sky.

🥳🥳🥳 well done Sophie! You deserve a medal 🥇

Your sea swim sounds delicious Motherforkin

Rest day yesterday. Epic day 44 advanced full body workout done ☑️ Damn, that was hard! Got through it though and am now dreading tomorrow’s EMOM workout

Days exercised 73

KAbs L2D7 and Ri30 L4D4 (60 min). I still jealous of the sea swimming - although I’m not sure I’m hardy enough to do it. I have to confess that a bought an inflated hot tub a few weeks ago -it’s rather pleasant to sit in there after I’ve exercised and showered.

(82/168; 84h 10min)

Thank you MotherForkin and Roonetta. You'll be there very soon yourself Roonetta! Let me know how you find the EMOM workout too.

That sea and view does sound stunning MotherForkin (albeit cold 🥶!)

Yes the hot tub does sounds lovely after a workout oubliette.

I decided to start epic heat. Wasn't sure but I've quite been enjoying not having to plan what workout to do etc (lazy!!). I did find the epic heat wam up quite long (9 mins). Will probably do the normal epic warm up instead.

Epic heat day 1 legs - done!! Plus a short lilly sabri abs workout.

Days exercised 86 (randomly took off 11 days yesterday 🤨🤔 !!)

Like the sound of the hot tub Oubliette

Epic day 45 EMOM workout. This was hideous Sophie. I had to cut down the reps by half AND modify and I was still dying. I did notice that Caroline couldn't even keep up with herself which made me less disheartened. I think the best thing I can say about that workout is that I will never have to do it again Annoyingly, my fitbit tells me I only burned 266 calories! Liar! I burned more than that just watching it.

I have watched a few of the Epic Heat workouts and they look really tough. Not sure my old bones could keep up. What did you think of day 1?

Days exercised 74

Also meant to ask how you are getting on with your 8kgs Sophie?

Yes that EMOM was really really tough Roonetta. Worst hardest workout of the whole program for me. Especially the upper body bit. And yes noticed she couldn't keep up herself. I'm 200% positive not 266 calories only.

Epic heat day 1 was ok. Definitely harder than the start of epic (remember the first lower body workouts and they were quite ok). Would say it's about the standard of middle-end epic 1. And probably more intense as it's 30 mins but hard to say as only done 1 day! I've not watched any of the other heat workouts.

I used my 8kg today and sometimes put on my ankle weights to make them 9kg. She was using 12.5kg!!

I did a legs and core circuit today and I'm feeling it already! I'm back at the physio tomorrow and really hoping she'll let me do some upper body work again. 🤞

Ri30 L4D5 and KAbs L3D7 (60 min). And I checked - my activity monitor says that an hour of Jillian is 326 calories.
