I hope your hives have gone MrO. Great calorie burn though 😀

Have a lovely time away Sophie. Eat loads!

Iron series posterior chain done. (I also managed a 3 mile WWL yesterday).

Days exercised 56

They go pretty quickly thankfully! Doing a 30 min endurance power zone ride later

And class done. Total of 68 miles this month so far. Better than nothing?

I keep losing motivation. So I'm going to try something different. My aim is to do 3 days exercise and then have a rest day. Let's see how it goes. 30DS L1D1 (26 min)

Days exercised: 41

Glaf your hives cleared up quickly, MrO, they look horribly uncomfortable. Enjoy your holiday Sophie!

I'm finding motivation tough too, Oubliette. I'm having a busy week with work resulting in a lot of stress dreams and little sleep and so many eating leftover easter eggs 😴. I took it easy yesterday with a low impact core/legs workout. Today I managed 5km brisk walk. Tomorrow will be a lot of sitting (hosting an all day event) and a rest day.

Days exercised 46

Bodyshred cardio 1 done. I’m only going to do it once a week, I hate cardio and I really struggle to fit in more than 5 sessions of exercise a week.

Hope you’re having a good holiday, Sophie.

Can I just say how much I hate the new site? It logs me out every time I go away from my screen for a while, and then it tells me the page has expired when I get back in.

Days exercised 63.

Cardio is not fun! Got an easy 20 min ride planned for tonight

30DS L2D1 (27 mins). This particular workout is definitely my nemesis.

Days exercised: 42

Bodyshred week 1 workout 1, second time. I had to modify the second and third rounds of push-ups. I feel very old and knackered today.

My nemesis is L2 of RI30, Oubliette. But I suspect it may rapidly be replaced by one of the Bodyshred workouts. I’m only on the first two weeks and I’m finding it tough.

Days exercised 64.

I didn't know there was a new site professor. I only Really use my Phone app anyway but that's been playing up and I had to log out and In Again to get it to work properly.

Good luck with the motivation Oubliette 🍀 hope the new system works.

Did iron day 1 (legs) the other day and today iron day 4 (full body - but felt like mainly legs with a bit of other stuff thrown in ). Did a couple of short abs workouts too.

Days exercised 75

Need some motivation myself Oubliette. I'm embarrassed to say that having stepped on the scale this morning for the first time in months, I am back to my pre-pandemic weight. I am so cross with myself after all the hard work I put in. So that spurred me on to do Iron series unilateral workout once I got home from work today, no excuses. I really must sort out my eating habits too. Unfortunately I cannot just have one bit of chocolate, I binge eat the stuff, so the only way to stop this is to cut it out altogether. Wish me luck

68 miles Mr O - awesome!

Well done on the days exercised everyone

Days exercised 57

I'm having a day off. Doing an Eminem ride tomorrow and then a 45 min endurance ride Sunday

Yes it's very hard to only eat one piece of sweet food Roonetta. I'm sure it's addictive - the more we eat, the more we want. Good luck 🍀

Iron series day 10 (back and biceps) plus a 10 mins girvan abs and core workout.

Days exercised 76

Bodyshred week 1 workout 2, second time, so I've finished the first week as I'm only doing the cardio once. Another week of workouts 1 and 2 and then I have to step up - I remember workouts 3 and 4 being awful this time last year, so not looking forward to that. And I'm missing the disc for workout 3, which is enough of a pain that I'm tempted to buy the set again just to get it.

I struggle with sweet stuff too. Oddly I don't normally have much of a sweet tooth, but when I'm trying not to drink I crave sweet things, and I'm really trying to cut down alcohol at the moment -none in the week and no more than two glasses in the evening at the weekend. Good luck, roonetta - it's hard!

Days exercised 65.

Eminem ride was so fun but tough. PR on it though

You can get all the Bodyshred workouts on bilibili.com Professor. Hopefully it will save you having to buy a new set if you only need workout 3.

Forgot to say my peloton gives me unlimited 60 day guest passes if anyone wants to try the app I can post the link
There's outdoor running, walks, yoga, meditation etc, just remember to cancel it before it charges you!

Bodyshred week 2 workout 1, first time.

Thanks, roonetta. I used bilibili.com last year when I started Bodyshred the first time - unfortunately my TV is too ancient to have Internet, so I had to use my iPad and squinting at the screen just added to the general misery of week 3. Definition of first world problems, I know!

Days exercised 66.

Well done on the new PB, MrO!

Thanks MrO that's really kind of you. I will definitely have a look if you post the link.

Rest day yesterday and Epic Endgame upper body done today.

Days exercised 58

Here you go

Thank you Ollivander. I will have a look.

Ate like a pig 🐽 today.

Iron day 6 - quads. Didn't like this at all.

Days exercised 77

5km run plus a 10 mins girvan lower abs workout.

I will join you on the healthy eating plan Roonetta 😊

Days exercised 78

45 min ride done, new best of 10 miles in that time
Total cycled this month 98 miles

Wow, well done, MrO! It's inspiring how fast you're improving.

Bodyshred week 2 workout 2, first time. I so didn't want to do it this evening so am giving myself credit for willpower.

Count me in too on the healthy eating. I've got an annoying extra half stone hanging around that I could really do with getting rid of - after doing Jillian since January, the muscles underneath aren't in bad shape, but there's a layer of flab on top.
