Heat day 2. Shoulders. Plus a Caroline girvan ab workout.

326 sounds low oubliette. But I'm hardly an expert with calorie counting. I know if I run 40 mins and do intervals (and maybe incline) then Treadmill says I burn over 400. Close to 500 sometimes depending on speed. Maybe we all burn less calories than we think?

Days exercised 87

How can an hour of Jillian only be 326 calories! I know they say strength workouts are beneficial because you continue to burn calories even when you've finished, so maybe I will take comfort in that.

Epic day 46, Abs and a million push-ups.

Getting my jab on Friday! Hoping for no side effects

Days exercised 75

Run this morning. It was very slightly faster than usual which was a good feeling.

Great you have your jab booked, Roonetta. My mum got her first today. No idea when they will trickle down to us 40 somethings. 🤷‍♀️

I can’t seem to book a jab. Tonnes of appointments next week at the vaccine hub less than a mile away, but no second appointments within 30 miles . I’ll try again another day.

6W6P L1D8 and Ri30 L4D6 (65 min)

(84/166; 86h 15min)

Good luck to you all with the vaccination (whether having it, booking it or hoping your turn is soon!) 🍀 🍀

Day 3 epic heat lower body. It was tough but manageable. She seems to be building more cardio into the workouts with some bodyweight only exercises. A couple of lilly sabri abs workouts too.

Days exercised 88

Hope everyone manages to get their vaccine soon. I must admit to being a little nervous, what with all the talk of blood clots, but it won't stop me having it. How is vaccination rollout going in Greece Sophie?

Epic day 47 leg day done

Days exercised 76

Cardio for me this evening: BFBM (50 min)

(85/165; 87h 05min)

5km interval run plus some abs

Days exercised 89

Oh re calorie counting/burning, treadmill
Shows 442 calories burnt for that. Who knows how accurate it is though??

I’m taking the day off and meeting a friend for lunch. I’m pretty sure this will kill my motivation for the day. So I exercised first thing to thwart my future lack of motivation. Ri30 L4D7 and 6W6P L2D8 (65 min)

(86/164; 88h 10min)

Lunch sounds lovely, Oubliette, enjoy.

I was working until stupid o'clock last night so I had an unplanned rest day. I got out early this morning for a hill run to make sure it didn't happen again.

On the calorie burn conundrum, I recently did a workout from my fitness pal. It was short and pretty easy. The app logged it at 250 calories while my heart rate watch told me it was 95!

That made me laugh motherforkin! Is anything reliable?!

Enjoy your lunch oubliette. Sounds great and how civilised in these times! Well done on getting the exercise out the way in the morning too! You too MotherForkin!

Hope you enjoyed your lunch Oubliette

Epic day 48 upper body done ✅

Days exercised 77

Lunch was great - it lasted 4 hours! Just heading home now and I’m very glad I don’t have Jillian awaiting me.

Oh I'm so jealous of a four hour lunch! Glad you had a nice time.

Almost there Roonetta!!!

Four hour lunch oubliette

Epic heat day 4. Full body. Definitely more intense with more cardio than epic 1. A lilly sabri abs workout too.

Days exercised 90

I did a lot of walking today, most of it in not ideal shoes so my feet are achey now 🤦‍♀️ Anyway, proper exercise was a morning run, in my proper runners.

Happy weekend

Ooops - forget to report yesterday’s exercise. KAbs L1D8 and Ri30 L4D8 (60 min). Rest day today as planned.

(87/163; 89h 10min)

Rest day yesterday. Today was a hill run, sea swim and beach walk. I'm pooped.

Three rest days for me as I have felt pretty grotty following the vaccine. Hope I can get back to it tomorrow.

Oh no, sorry to hear that Roonetta. Although people who know better than me have told me a strong reaction is a good thing so hopefully it is in your case.

Ri30 L4D9 and KAbs L2D8 (60 min).

I hope you feel better soon @roonetta. I have an appointment for my first vaccine next Saturday - perhaps I’d better exercise beforehand and plan on taking the Sunday as a rest day.

(88/162; 90h 10min)

Hope you're feeling better today Roonetta 💐

Took rest day Saturday. Yesterday did epic heat day 5 (burpee HIIT) abs today day 6 (chest and triceps). Plus a lilly sabri abs both days.

Days exercised 92

Great exercising going on ladies

I would definitely factor in a rest day following the vaccine Oubliette. Hopefully you will only need 1, but it wiped me out for 2

Still not quite match fit today so was glad Epic day 49 was a little more gentle with bodyweight only and stretching. However, I now realise how inflexible I am and some of the stretches felt really uncomfortable.

One more day of Epic 1 and then I think I will plough on with Epic 2. Not sure I will be up for the increased cardio of Epic Heat Sophie

Days exercised 78

Glad you're recovering Roonetta. I wasn't sure whether to do epic 2 or epic heat but went for epic heat because the workouts are a bit shorter. They seemed to be getting longer and longer towards the end of epic 1!

Epic heat day 7. Lower body trisets plus lilly sabri abs.
