After a week of absolutely no exercise, I eased myself in gently with a 2 mile boosted WWL. Will aim to do something for the next few days and then I’m away for a couple of days with my sister.

Days exercised 190

Oops - I got out of sync again with my posting. I did KAbs L2D16 on Thursday.

After which I took a few rest days because my shoulder hurt. It feels totally fine again today. KAbs L3D16 (30 mins)

(187/63; 175h 40min)

Epic heat day 46 upper body done ✅

Days exercised 192

Not sure why I keep writing day 3..... 🤔 it was day 38 today.

Are you jumping between the various epics now Roonetta?

Even the sound of beast mode gives me the heebie jeebies, Roonetta. It sounds like you're trying to give yourself extra work Sophie!

I've has one intentional and three unintentional rest days I have managed to walk an average of 13.5k steps and do my squats challenge on those days though so I don't feel completely useless. Back to it properly tomorrow.

5km interval run plus a short lilly sabri abs workout.

Days exercised 231

Half hour run this morning. I think the squats and lunges are helping, my legs felt better than usual.

I am deciding each day which one to do Sophie. Time is at a premium at the moment with one thing and another and I am finding my motivation is waning, so I choose what I feel like doing on the day, otherwise I don’t think I would do anything (which is exactly what I did today ). Won’t be doing anything for the next couple of days either as off for a couple of days with my sister. I really must get back into the swing of things next week.

I seem to have a bit of a mental block with posting at the moment. I did Ri30 L2D19 on Tuesday and D20 today.

Enjoy your time with your sister Roonetta. I have a feeling that the next epic programme might be epic heat 2 - in which case the workouts will be shorter

Epic 3 day 39 for me today. Full body callisthenics.

Days exercised 232

Decent hill walk this morning in the misty drizzle. Definitely woke me up

Enjoy your family time Roonetta.

A good week here.
Mon: Circuits (battle ropes week 😱)
Tues: 11 mile long run (jeffing 3mins/ 30s)
Wed: rest
Thurs: outdoor fitness class
Fri: sports massage followed by open water swimming... well they say ice baths are good for recovery!

I actually feel better after a massage/ osteopath for walking or swimming. It stops me going too exhausted and achey without being aggravating and undoing it.

I really miss the agony of battling ropes, BogRoll! Sounds like you had a great week. I'm hoping for an icebath/sea dip tomorrow if this storm dies down a bit.

Epic 3 day 49 dumbbell HIIT (which wasn't as awful as her HIIT is normally) plus a girvan abs workout.

Days exercised 233

that should have been day 40 not 49

Epic 3 day 41 glutes and core complexes. I enjoyed this!

Days exercised 234

I've some sort of emotional as well as physical lurgy for the last few days. 2 lateral flow tests say not covid so hopefully I'll be back up soon

Sorry to hear you've not been good MotherForkin. Wish you better on both fronts 💐 fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.

Epic 3 day 42 upper body tempo work for me today.

Days exercised 235

Thanks ladies, had a fab time with my sister and managed to clock up 20,000 steps on both Friday and Saturday!

Ooh looking forward to Epic Heat 2 Sophie - shorter workouts are definitely key at the moment. Well done on ploughing through Epic 3! You are doing amazingly . Do you think 3 is her hardest yet?

What a great range of workouts Bogroll. Well done!

Sorry to hear that Motherforkin. Lots of rest and self care required. Hope you are back to your normal self soon

Epic Heat day 29 full body circuits done. This one flew by!

Days exercised 193

Happy to hear you had such a great time with your sister Roonetta 😊😊

Oh I don't know if there will actually be an epic heat 2 Roonetta! Was just speculating. In any case, I believe Caroline is taking some (well deserved) time off now and will be back in the new year.

I was thwarted by technology yesterday - I couldn't get the DVD player to communicate with the television. Fortunately everything seems fine again today. 6W6P L1D17 (35 min)

(190/60; 177h 15min)

Epic 3 day 43 lower body drop sets. Tough but enjoyable.

Days exercised 236

I think she definitely deserves time off Sophie. I can’t complain about Epic Heat 2 - I think there are enough for me to choose from

Tempo week day 1 chest, shoulders and triceps done. This one flew by too.
