Glad to hear you're back to normality MotherForkin. And thank you for asking about my family. Things have improved (albeit slowly). I'm back in greece as the children back to school tomorrow etc but would have preferred to stay in uk - just wasn't possible with the family here.

That doesn't sound good professor. A possible chest infection? I have asthma too and sometimes things just set it off - allergy, humidity.... . Plus lying down at night always makes any coughing worse - try using some more pillows to keep your chest and head raised.

Hope your DD feels better soon oubliette.

Calisthenics week day 5 HIIT - so completed Calisthenics week now.

Days exercised 6

Well done on 20,000 steps Oublette!

Sorry to hear the tiredness is hanging around Motherforkin. Hope it improves soon.

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling great Profeesor. Hopefully you'll get to the bottom of it.

Glad you had a safe journey home Sophie.

Decided to do Epic Heat this morning as it is slightly shorter than Endgame and I was struggling to fit it in first thing and the morning routine felt rushed. I know I could get up earlier to accommodate it but, no

Days exercised 6

Epic endgame day 1 (legs).

Days exercised 7

30DS L1D9 done. Bored with this now (and I don’t think I will ever be able to do two full sets of real push-ups).

I’m totally with you on not getting up any earlier, roonetta: I get up at 6.15 on weekdays as things are, and I love my bed!

Days exercised 6.

I get bored too @ProfessorRadcliffeEmerson. In fact, this year I’ve decided to do the different workouts at random rather than in sets to see if that helps!

Just a single DVD today. I figure that is better than nothing. Ri30 L2D1 (34 min)

Days exercised: 5

I get bored easily too. Need to change up the workouts constantly to keep myself motivated.

Epic Heat WO2 shoulders done.

Days exercised 7

Epic endgame day 2 (upper body).

Days exercised 8

KB&T L1D1 (40 min)

Days exercised: 6

How are you finding the finishers Sophie?

Epic Heat workout 3 legs done

Days exercised 8

I don't like the 100 reps finishers roonetta. Was just thinking that as I was doing my 100 hip thrusts.... I used to look forward to the finisher as it meant the end of the workout. Now I don't want to do them - they are boring and take too long for a finisher (in my humble opinion).

Epic endgame day 3 (glutes).

Days exercised 9

Yes I agree Sophie, they are too long.

Epic Heat WO8 back and biceps. Skipped to this workout as WO5 was full body and my legs are too sore

Days exercised 9

30DS L1D10 done. On to L2 tomorrow if I can get up in time- I’m giving blood in the afternoon so probably won’t feel up to a workout after work.

Days exercised 7. Not doing very well this week!

I did the add-on (15 mins tucked abs) to day 4 of epic endgame. Intended to do the full day 4 workout but ran of of time. Not counting this as an exercise day now.

Good luck with the blood giving professor.

I don’t envy you @ProfessorRadcliffeEmerson. 30DS L2 is my nemesis!

I decided to take yesterday as a rest day. Back on it this evening. KB&T L2D1 (42 min)

Days exercised: 7

Girvan 20 minute chest and shoulder workout

Days exercised 10

Epic endgame day 5 (full body circuits). This went quite quickly.

Days exercised 10

Actually it was day 4 not day 5

30DS L2D1 done. It's not quite my nemesis, Oubliette, as that's RI30 L2 - that plank cardio circuit is my idea of hell. But it is pretty bad! I do wish I was someone who enjoyed exercise, but at my age I just have to accept that I never will. 8 don't think mixing it up will help, sadly - I need structure or nothing happens.

Days exercised 8.

Strength this evening: NMTZ (54 min)

Days exercised: 8

30DS L2D2 done. Might try the new Adriene 30 day sequence this evening, I’ve stopped doing yoga and ought to get back into it.

Days exercised 9.

No exercise DVD, but I have done 20,000 steps.

Days exercised: 9

I should do more yoga too professor.

Today epic endgame day 5 - cardio complexes. This was really hard and loads of burpees. I didn't do very well. She lapped me on every complex.

Unfortunately I have to return to the UK too. Exercise helps to take my mind off it all.

Days exercised 11

30DS L2D3 done. I’m unlikely to do anything tomorrow so will count it as an intentional rest day.

I’m in awe of everyone doing Epic, it sounds beyond me! Sophie, sorry you need distracting - are you OK?

Days exercised 10.

Couple of rest days. Did one half of Epic 1 workout 1. Not sure if doing half of a longer workout is any good though. I admit I am struggling with getting up early, coupled with doing the same workouts. I might try doing a WWL every other day, although I don't think that will be enough strength workouts. Not really sure what to do so any ideas would be appreciated ☺️

Sorry to hear things haven't improved Sophie

Professor, I am a tired, 50 year old mum of two teenagers. If I can do Epic, anyone can . Give it a go!

Forgot to add, hope you are doing okay @MotherForkinShirtBalls?
