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!

So its not till Sept the next programme????(this is according to caro clone)

That is when i due to renew my membership . That is rubbish- not on at all:

I think it’s really unfair that certain people know these things in advance. As a paying customer we should also have known this. I was guessing that it would be awhile as the Kearneys are repeating Iron pro , so obviously enough time for them to get that finished, unlike us more mortals who
are in the dark as to how much time they have.

Does anyone know where Mrs K said this as I have been on the Facebook group and cannot find her comment?

I saw it on the app under a recent workout I did.
BUT on going back to check it wasn't a bloody recent one at all,(new for me, but over 40 weeks ago) So you can all ignore that..sorry.😬
I have no idea when the new programme will start, Thankfully it probably won't be Sept 😂

Bloody hell @TessTickle0 - that's how wars start 😂

I did one of the sessions last week, broke my seal of not doing anything. I also did some yoga - think I've twisted something in my neck and knees. Sigh,

She was wearing some skimpy red and white outfit in what looked like a massive house - someone is doing well for herself! Good for her.

There is zero movement on our house purchase and it's really stressing me out. We're over two months in now and not seen a shred of paperwork from our vendors so we can't even order the searches. I just fired off a couple of emails at the estate agent (who is on holiday, again), and then to our solicitor in the vague hope that he is just sitting on it. Our vendors are fucking useless. Our buyers are uber efficient. This difference is the source of my anxiety! Also DP works at the beeb and they're laying people off left, right and centre, so we have that in the mix. And the company I work for is always on the brink of bankruptcy. Fun and games!

I have my own company too, which is in relative infancy, but I've just cleared the decks of the projects I was working on so I can focus on getting the house decluttered and do some exercise again.

The dog seems to have recovered well from his surgery and is now being a massive pain in the ass demanding walks every ten minutes so I'm having some regrets there!

I wonder if Caroline's anti HRT. I was having periods every 20 days for years as well as the night sweats but I just went back on the progesterone pill last year and it sorted that right out. Wish I'd done it years earlier. I'm holding off going on proper HRT until I feel like I really need it but my younger sister has been on it for a while and she feels much less mental on it, so I will go that route if the time comes and it's impacting my life and sleep.

I’ve started Iron. I haven’t done it before. The thirty minute workouts are appealing! I also hate indoor cardio so I’m presuming there’s none of that in it.

I did day 1 this morning which was fine but added on fifteen minutes of yoga after as I’m really unfit now so figure i need to do some mobility.

I waited too long to go onto hrt. It stopped some of my flat mood and insomnia and also a weird frozen shoulder.

Yeah fair enough, it's hard to know when to go for it. I intend on getting a dexa scan at some point and will see how my bones are holding out, as I feel okay, but want to know my bone health is okay too. If there were any issues there I would go on it straight away.

I am on the heavy side of a normal bmi, eat a lot of dairy, and do a lot of load bearing stuff, and there's no family history, so I'm hoping my bones are doing ok!

I am now on day 4 of Iron. I am starting to feel some motivation coming back although my diet isn't great. I'm running down all the food supplies in the house before the move so have been baking too much!

Can we all come round for 🥮🍰🍪?

@Abra1t you've missed the good stuff - I'm now onto the weird flours and the tins of treacle!

Did anyone else get the CGX newsletter? Confirmed no new workout till September now.

I haven’t received it but saw on Reddit there was no new workout until September. Is she injured? Did she give a reason? She’s going to lose a lot of subscribers

I haven't received it either!

Oh apparently it goes out in waves. If it's alphabetical by surname I will be in the last tranche.

I'm presuming she's injured or has some surgery lined up or something. TBH it doesn't bother me, I've not had the app that long so I've hardly touched the material on it so far. I do like to follow along with people and it helps me keep some motivation, but ce la vie.

It would be good if she was a bit more transparent about what's going on, though. Is this change likely to be a permanent one - ie don't expect more than three programs a year?
