New thread!

I am turning into a blob! I haven't really been doing anything, just working too much. It's a busy time of year for both of my careers and combined with the house move and a pet having surgery, I've been putting my health too far down the list. Got out for a run today, though, which was lovely. I sat down to start working and then thought sod it, I'm getting out in that sunshine.

A new program is probably what I need for motivation. Maybe I will try the christmas series as I think 20 minutes would be manageable and might get me back in the swing of things.

Yeah kinds wish I hadn't signed up to the app myself but in the grand scheme of things, I'm haemorrhaging cash at the moment with the house move so that pales in comparison!

I’m doing Rev just now and really liking it. I somehow missed that as in think it's a ‘series’ rather than a ‘programme’. If I have time I do the full three circuits but if I’m short of time I’ll just do two and feel it’s a good workout. There’s still a few programmes I haven’t done on the app (I rarely workout 5 days a week so I’m behind) so I don’t mind that there’s no new programme announced yet. I get that if you’ve done every workout on the app you’ll be desperate for new content.

Morning all . Having enjoyed doing bits from different series o think I will just go back to play and start at some random point. I need the structure and her monthly suggestions aren’t cutting it for me.

@Fibrous Caroline would deffo approve of your choice to get out in the sun. You life sounds really stressful atm you poor thing. How is the house move going?

A lot of unhappy people on Reddit too. Some talk about the fact Caroline is battling injuries as well as perimenopause, I feel sorry for her but business is business and if she doesn’t deliver people will go elsewhere for their trainer. https://www.reddit.com/r/CarolineGirvan/s/cekhKGYYqK

@samthebordercollie it would not surprise me at all if she is battling injury as she gets older. She was always a tad in denial regarding menopause and the effects it could have on the body. She used to say she would just get on with it whatever and all you had to do was stay fit and healthy and you would be fine.
now she seems to be finding out how utterly awful it can be for general health and energy levels.
she should absolutely be giving a time line for the next series.
maybeas she ages she will change her programming a bit so it is less mental. That would suite me as o am no longer interp in beating myself half dead on a daily basis.

Yes she should be giving a rough date for the start of the next series.
I am just following the suggested calendar and enjoying this as all workouts are new to me still.
I would have however preferred to of started a complete series within the time I had, whatever that was.

She's back with the tight gym wear though 😆😆

I must admit I was always surprised on her stance on perimenopause/menopause. You could be the fittest, healthiest person in the world, and peri could still knock you sideways with exhaustion and being more prone to injuries, even with HRT.

I agree, I always thought she was in denial about it. Either that, or she just confidently expects it can be sailed through if you're fit and healthy.

I also saw the Reddit discussion. I'm okay to stick with the app for a bit as a thank you for the free youtube content, but not everyone is going to feel that way.
I wonder if she's frantically trying to get an HRT regimen in place!
