Thanks Sophie that’s great, I will be Googling this later Grin. Haven’t tried the tempo workouts but I am loving the variety of workouts she is uploading at the moment.

Girvan full body dumbbell workout done ☑️

I'm juggling too many balls at the moment and I keep dropping the exercise one Sad. Managed a walk this evening. I've a run planned with my buddy in the morning so I can't bail! Kids back to school today, looking forward to a bit of routine back in our lives in the next few weeks.

roonetta · 01/09/2021 08:57

Something has to give sometimes Motherforkin. Unfortunately it is usually “our time” which gets pushed aside. You are still getting a walk, run and even your sea swim in, so I wouldn’t beat yourself up!

Kids go back to school on Monday here and while I am looking forward to the routine, I am not looking forward to my DS’s anxiety starting up again. He has already started to worry knowing he is back in soon Sad. Fingers crossed he has a better year.

Did a Sydney Cummins leg workout today as I had heard a lot about her. I enjoyed it and will probably try a couple more of hers.

You're right, Roonetta, everything else seems to be a priority very quickly. I hope your DS is OK. My two were dying to get back, being out of our house over the summer holidays really hit when they were so far from friends.

I didn't bail on my run this morning which was a minor victory. I've a 10k in 2 weeks and I've no idea how I'll manage it, but they already sent me my medal so I don't have a choice Blush

I’m the same @MotherForkinShirtBalls. Work is just crazy (and is likely to get worse before it gets better - the end of Q3 is always mad). However I made myself exercise this evening. KAbs L3D13 (30 min). I think I feel better for it. I’m determined that September will be a better exercise month than August was.

Forgot to write yesterday. yesterday tempo day 2 (legs) and today tempo day 3 (biceps and back) plus a lilly sabri waist and lower abs workout.

I think it's much easier to workout when children at school MotherForkin and you can get into a routine. Got mine done very early today as had to be up for washing machine repair man....

How odd they sent you your medal before the race! I feel confident that you will manage your 10km MotherForkin 🏃🏻‍♀️💪🏽

Good luck to all your DCs for start of the new school year (and hope your DS will be ok Roonetta - hopefully he will be fine once he gets back and sees it isn't actually that bad). Mine also start on Monday although Greek schools start the following Monday.

Caroline Girvan Beastmode chest and triceps done. Damn, my arms are dead Confused.

Days exercised 160

SophieLion · 03/09/2021 18:05

Yeah beastmode was hardcore roonetta but I enjoyed it. Just seen Epic 3 is starting!! I hope it's shorter workouts like Heat. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Took a rest day today. Sometimes trying to exercise first thing before getting out is stressful so just decided to take the day off. Been running around so much since we got back that have been feeling quite stressed so trying to reduce that.

Are you feeling more motivated oubliette now that you're doing shorter workouts?

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 04/09/2021 09:58

Hope you enjoyed your rest day Sophie. I feel your pain about moving. We are doing our second house move in 3 months next week but at least we'll be home again. I got a run in earlier and a day of painting, furniture moving, and general chaos awaits.

SophieLion · 04/09/2021 11:09

Tempo day 4 full body today.

Tempo week day 5 HIIT. That was tough..... a bit hungover too which didn't help. tempo week done though ✅

I'm not moving MotherForkin! Perhaps you mis-read something I wrote?

Days exercised 186

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 05/09/2021 18:17

I might have misunderstood Sophie, I took your comment about being back as a bit of an upheaval Smile. I'm exhausted after a day of painting, scrubbing and moving furniture with a hangover.

SophieLion · 06/09/2021 07:40

Yes MotherForkin I was definitely feeling very overwhelmed when we first came back so you definitely didn't misunderstand that!

Epic 3 day 1 (legs) done ✅ Was tough!

Days exercised 187

roonetta · 07/09/2021 11:17

Hope you enjoy Epic 3 Sophie! I will check it out at some point.

Hope you are settling in Motherforkin. Moving is exhausting.

3 rests days crept in again Blush. Not sure what is wrong with my motivation at present, but decided to do Body Revolution workout 1 today but with heavier weights. I might continue to do the BR programme, but just doing the consecutive workouts each day, rather than going through the phases. I will also add in some Girvan arms throughout the week and maybe some WWL to make up for my slacking.

SophieLion · 08/09/2021 11:01

Rest day yesterday and Epic 3 day 2 (upper body) done today ✅. Quite enjoyed it.

Good luck with the motivation Roonetta 🍀** sounds like you've planned a good, varied exercise program!

Days exercised 188

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 08/09/2021 11:06

Moving day is today Roonetta, after a week of scrubbing 3 months of regular dust plus three months of builders' dust Sad. I'm absolutely exhausted from it already!

roonetta · 08/09/2021 12:57

I checked out the first few workouts of Epic 3 and thought day 2 looked good Sophie. I might add that one to my 'to do' list.

Sounds horrendous Motherforkin. Sounds like you have got your exercise quota just from the cleaning Grin. Good luck today!

Managed a 20 minute Girvan arms as well yesterday. Today I have done workout 2 from BR and a 2 mile WWL.

SophieLion · 09/09/2021 07:35

Hope the move went well MotherForkin.

Epic 3 day 3 (abs and glutes) done ✅ Found it very hard.

Gosh I'm being so unmotivated. I did NMTZ (50 min) on Monday, and Ri30 L2D17 (35 min) yesterday. Nothing Tuesday or today. Must do better!

Epic 3 day 4 full body complexes.

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 12/09/2021 21:06

Finally back on the wagon, 5km run today. and absolutely aching from all the box and furniture moving and cleaning

roonetta · 13/09/2021 17:10

Well done Motherforkin. Hope the boxes are slowly going down and you are settling in.

Three rest days again, so I made sure I changed into my workout clothes as soon as I got home from work and picking up kids from school and made myself do BR workout 4. Not the most effort I have ever made, but at least I got it done.
