Caroline Girvan 2026- sore but still scrolling.

[BigButtons]

New thread!

I thought that about the balcony too! Maybe he's trying to show you don't need a lot of space to do an effective workout!

@Anjelika that makes sense but I can’t see what he is doing properly😬. I’ll keep going with hero 2. Having said that I pulled a glut doing my favourite Caroline agility leg day a few days ago so I can only do quad work until it gets better.
I am leaning more and more to cancelling my app subscription . It is due to renew for the year mid September. Will do Jasper and her you tube stuff for a bit and see what she comes out with after Christmas.

@BigButtonsif Iron Pro was on YouTube I’d cancel mine too but I fancy working through that programme again after I finish 4 weeks of Jasper. Hope your glute recovers quickly.

I did Jasper’s Hero II Day 1 today and enjoyed it. Liked that the warm up was included, liked the pec stretch at the end. Was worried about the shorter rests between sets after doing Iron Pro but they made sense with the overall formatting so you had say 15 secs rest between a chest press and a left arm row then 15 secs before the right arm row then 15 secs before repeating those 3 movements. Meant by the time you were back to chest presses your chest had had a good rest! Also liked the minute break before he went onto the next combo. Looking forward to Day 2 on Tuesday.

Yes I like the formatting too- the sessions go by really quickly for me🙂

I'm redoing Iron Pro, in a better headspace for it this time round.
But I'm using my own music - I quite like some of her tracks but Iron Pro seemed to use all my very least favourites and I think it actually put me off and made it harder to do!

The background colour is also way too dark but that I can't do anything about.

Plugging away with Jasper upper body and Caroline lower body- still having to hunt for sessions without lunges but am managing.
what I like about Jasper is that he will repeat the same moves often but will change the grip or position of the body- so today were Arnold presses but sitting with legs out in front. Stops it all being boring. I wish Caroline would do something like this

Day 3 of Jasper for me tomorrow. Found Day 2’s AMRAP at the end quite the challenge and I have a bit of DOMS today but that feels good.

lol I have been banned from the Caroline Reddit community for asking why she doesn’t have as much variety as Jasper.it was a very basic question regarding changing grip or position whilst basically doing the same move: I don’t get it. There is a post still standing that is discussing whether she uses peds.

Wow!
I know we must never speak badly of the Queen on Facebook, but i really thought reddit users had more sense.

who banned the Reddit thread? Surely as long as you aren’t abusive or libellous you are entitled to express an opinion

I am doing epic 1 and it’s so refreshing to be doing different moves.My favourite is full body Friday , just did day 19 which had a staple of squat to deadlift to row to
press. Really enjoyed it

Meanwhile on the FB group - why the hell would you post a full bikini shot of yourself on a group that’s dominated by 50 year old blokes! Psychologically I find that very interesting

It’s really odd- there are so many ‘worse’ threads on there. I can still see posts but cannot comment- I hardly ever do tbh , unless it is juicy.😉

But it was her birthday 🎂 🥳

Very funny as in yet another post she goes on about the expectation on women to try and have the best body and how we are all judged- and yet posts this , inviting judgement
there’s 100 plus comments on there but 75% are from her replying and from her hubbie saying thank you my friend
whoop whoop

Oh God HER it makes me glad in many ways that I am banned from there. It is so full of attention seekers. There is never any actual proper discussion.

Hi everyone! Hope you are all well and had fabulous holidays…I’ve continued plugging away with my own workout programme but am looking forward to trying some Fuel workouts even though I didn’t like the YouTube programme.
has anyone tried Aryana Active? https://youtube.com/@aryanaactive?si=m_nOUmOQosYn8TUJ

Workouts similar to CG but she talks…

@samthebordercollie no I haven’t heard if her - will check her out thanks.
i will probably cancel the app until fuel is over. I am currently doing Jasper upper body and have already got some notable gains which is great. Am doing Caroline lower body simply because I still have this angry right glute that I pulled d a couple of weeks ago and need to choose sessions that are either quad biased or glutes and hammies without any lunging. Seems to be working though!

I am halfway through Epic 1 and really enjoying it, so many moves we never do anymore. And lots of different ab moves.

I had to move out of the father in laws place with the dogs so have been airbnbing and hotelling for the last three weeks, so no chance to do anything. However, a friend has lent me his place while he is on holiday for a month, so I got my dumbbells out of storage yesterday and did my first weight session in months. I did day 1 of Ultimate beginner as that's where I feel my level is right now! I will start the new fuel next week, though. Our solicitors are arguing over a really minor thing, hoping to have a resolution soon but they're so bloody slow!

Caroline looks so lean in the ultimate beginner. I am already feeling the effects from this morning's session, think I'll be sore tomorrow!!

Oh no @Fibrous what happened ? that sounds really stressful. you have hd a really awful time of it these last few months. Solicitors are a nightmare- I don't think they ever think of how their in-action properly affects their clients. Really hope things start moving soon.
Glad you have managed to get your dumbbells out😍

@BigButtons one of our dogs tried to eat my FILs tortoise. And nearly made a full job of it! Fortunately with a lot of vet visits it looks like it will pull through, but I had to remove the offending beasts or they would’ve finished him off. I didn’t realise tortoise shells were so easily mauled. It was very traumatic for everyone. I am so fed up with solicitors and the whole house buying process. I never want to do it again. The solicitors just seem so immune to any sense of desperation or urgency.

As predicted I am aching today!

@Fibrous oh no that is awful- how mortifying for you. I am happy that the tortoise managed to pull through.

Poor tortoise 🤣 my cat attacks everything that moves, so I sympathise.

I finished Heather’s 12 week 2.0 today! Feeling quite proud of myself. The mix of weights/cardio is brilliant for me. I don’t think she ever just does a day of straight lifting - it’s always interspersed with the odd set of jumping jacks or whatever. There’s one move I love: you do a weighted squat and then put the weight down and do a jump!

Jasper looks interesting. How much of his workouts are cardio? I might try one of his before starting 3.0!

Great you have found something you like! Jasper does some cardio on some sessions - maybe in the form of an AMRAP or tabata timings. I am certainly often very hot and sweaty after his sessions. He also does lots of moves that Caroline never does- especially with abs so I feel properly challenged!

@Fibrous how stressful! Was your FIL cross?

Has anyone made a start on Fuel? I will be swerving that one, it doesn't interest me at all, or fit around the running.
