Wow that view is glorious Motherforkin. Hoping for some of that myself as we are off to Dorset for a week tomorrow. Looks like the weather is improving too so can’t wait.

I’m considering going to see my parents next week. I reckon just after we’ve all had covid is probably the safest time to go.

Back to exercising this evening. 30DS L1D15 and KB&T L2D13 (65 min)

Yes she uses a lot of technical jargon which I don't really get either MotherForkin! Sometimes have to google.

Enjoy your parents oubliette! And enjoy Dorsey Roonetta! I'm really missing england and my family but good news is that I've got first dose of vaccine today so perhaps can travel in July.

5km interval run plus Caroline girvan abs workout.

Horrible weather here today so I did epic day 1 legs again instead of a run. I must go through a couple of the other videos to see if I can adapt any of them.

Visits and vaccines sounds great. Dh got to see his parents last weekend. Hadn't seen them since last summer. We are still waiting to hear when 40+ group will be called, hopefully soon though.

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 29/05/2021 13:19

Short run today. I accidentally put my good running bra in the wash this morning and had to dig out an old one which I think is officially too small so was squashing my lungs and I found it hard to breathe well Blush

SophieLion · 30/05/2021 08:03

Oh tight sports bra doesn't sound good...

Had my first dose vaccine (moderna) and fine except for a bit of a sore arm.

Rest day hesiand epic heat day 20 Tabata HIIT today. Was tough. Finisher was 1 min of burpees and it's amazing how slow that minute went!!!

Hope you're enjoying Dorset Roonetta! And you with your parents Oubliette! I hear the weather in England is wonderful so I hope it stays like that all week for you Smile

After 3 rest days I finally found some motivation. Strength: NMTZ (50 min). May hasn’t been my greatest month - hopefully June will be better!

Driving up to see my parents tomorrow, so I might be awol for a while.

Enjoy oubliette! And fingers crossed to a better June for you (although you seemed to be doing great to me).

Day 27 epic heat (quads and calves) plus a girvan abs workout.

Days exercised 125

SophieLion · 01/06/2021 07:51

*for a better June (sometimes I forget my English😳)

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 01/06/2021 16:01

Safe travels, Oubliette, I hope you and Roonetta enjoy your visiting.

I got way laid by pimms in the sunshine on Sunday so unplanned rest day and was just lazy yesterday. I had a good run this morning, even though it was hot (for here) by 9.

SophieLion · 03/06/2021 07:34

Pimms in the sunshine ..... 😋😋🍹☀️

Day 29 epic heat (full body circuits) plus a girvan abs workout.

Days exercised 126

SophieLion · 03/06/2021 07:35

Oh I missed yesterday which was epic day 28 triceps and lats. So days exercised 127

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 03/06/2021 13:21

I know, Sophie, too good not to enjoy it Smile

I had a horrible night's (lack of) sleep on Tuesday so didn't manage anything yesterday. Run this morning was nice in the sunshine.

SophieLion · 04/06/2021 12:36

Epic heat day 30 - superset HIIT. Always find her HIIT workouts exhausting.

Days exercised 128

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 04/06/2021 12:41

I only watched one of her hiit videos and it was exhausting Sophie!

Kids were off school today (apparently they need a longer than scheduled bank holiday weekend Hmm ) so I dragged them up some small hills this morning. It was sunny and the views spectacular. Even they enjoyed it Grin

roonetta · 05/06/2021 15:54

Hi everyone! Hope you enjoy the visit to your parents Oubliette.

Glad to see your shoulder is mended Sophie and you are cracking on with Epic Heat Smile

Well done on your runs in this heat and managing to get the kids out Motherforkin - I need some tips from you Grin. Hope you managed to get in some sea swims.

Had a lovely week in Lyme Regis where we were out and about lots. Ate far too much ice cream and chips though Blush.

Back at it today with Epic 2 day 24 hamstrings and core. Eased back in gently with lighter weights.

Days exercised 106

roonetta · 06/06/2021 15:10

Epic 2 day 25 full body.

Don’t know if it was the heat or because I have been stuffing my face all week, but that was bloody hard. Lots of complexes, some of which I ended earlier than the allocated time as I was dying.

Days exercised 107

roonetta · 07/06/2021 11:08

Epic 2 day 26 HIIT with dumbbells. This was fun, even though she said to use light dumbbells and proceeded to use 6kg! I stuck with 2kgs Blush.

I am actually finding the HIIT workouts in Epic 2 much more doable than Epic. Might be to do with the lack of burpees Grin

Days exercised 108

SophieLion · 07/06/2021 15:14

Welcome back Roonetta! I wish I could say the same about epic heat HIIT: each session is so tough.

Took the weekend off and today Epic heat day 31 (lower body complexes).

Days exercised 129

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 07/06/2021 19:17

Hi Roonetta, hope you had a lovely break. I had a very lazy weekend so did a hill run this morning to get me back into it. We are packing up the house for a temporary move which is also giving me an unexpected workout.

Hello 👋

I’m back (actually I got back on Saturday and have just been pathetic at getting on with exercising). Finally drummed up some motivation today. KB&T L2D14 and 30DS L2D15 (65 min)

Welcome back Oubliette! Hope you had a lovely visit Smile

Good luck with the temporary move Motherforkin. Very stressful!

Not sure whether to do Epic Heat when I've finished this one Sophie or go back and re-do Epic. I feel like Epic Heat is definitely a step up.

Epic 2 day 27 front delts and abs. Had to drop to lower weights for this one.

Days exercised 109

SophieLion · 09/06/2021 09:58

Welcome back oubliette! Hope you gas a lovely time.

Roonetta, I think epic heat is pretty much the same level all the way through whereas epic definitely started easier and got harder. I'm enjoying shorter workouts and can add things on if want a longer workout (because I still don't think she does as much abs as other stuff) or just do the heat workout for that day. Plus you can always use lighter weights to make it easier.

Wonder what she will do after epic heat....

Good luck with the house packing and the move MotherForkin 🍀

Yesterday epic heat day 32 (upper body) and a girvan abs workout and today day 33 (lower body).
