I did day one. Enjoyed it!
She must have been filming since late spring as there’s a vase of tulips on a shelf.

I'm really struggling with the pinkness of it all. Bring back the dark brown I say 😂

No!!! No dark brown!!
(It is very pink, I agree.)

I’m going to do Fuel on the app. I don’t love the cardio stuff but I have super lazy over summer and I really think it’s a good way to get back in shape after a period of sloth. Plus 30 minutes suits me as the teaching term starts tomorrow and I get so knackered it’s good to not have to get up quite so early! Even dropping to bodyweight in the Bulgarians half killed me though so I really need a massive kick up the arse fitness-wise.

Enjoyed Day 1 of Fuel.I was sweaty and out of breath, which doesn't always happen with CGX workouts.
I simply refuse to do Bulgarians, I have nothing to rest my foot on that doesn't feel really uncomfortable so I just do some variation of a lunge.Bah Humbug.

Glad you enjoyed it @TessTickle0 !
well I did a Jasper lower body- I had had very little sleep and it was a very nasty amrap at the end- when stood up from the last set of sprawls I stubbed my toe on my 12.5 kg dumbbell and not it is black all over and I can’t walk on it properly - same foot I have Achilles issues with- hooray🫣

Ohh some unhappy people on the comments saying todays fuel is too rushed and can’t keep up with it and that they felt the video just had to finish at 30 mins
the comments only been there for 40 minutes though so I expect the poster will be banned imminently
Nice to see that other people have the space to comment as that space is not being dominated but the others! They are notoriously absent on the FB group too!

TessTickle0 · 08/09/2026 08:48

Oh have they slinked off again? Wonder why this time.
I did notice they hadn't commented and usually.they cant get on there fast enough whoop whoop.

Sorry to hear about your toe!

Does Jasper incorporate cardio into his programmes? I love an amrap 😄 I've been following the Jasper chat with interest.

I agree that I need cardio.
I hate doing it however so when I have to add it in to my workout schedule,I often cheat and find a reason not to do it thay day 🤣
So to do a program with it actually built into the strength workout is great and works best for me.
Im looking forward(kinda) to fuel and plan to start the leg day after work (should be my cardio day, so again..an excuse)
I tried HR but didnt like how she used to slice bits of her workouts together, so not done in real time.
Plus her weights where always lighter,or I wasnt really sure what weight to use.
I basically got bored and went back to CGX.
Man am I bored of rear delt flies though,I eye roll everytime I see them, and I will never like Bulgarians.
Going to try some jasper workouts like I said at some point,did have a quick look and was put off my the balcony space(silly I know)

I didn't like the spliced together HR workouts either. I think she did it for a few of the longer 12 week programmes on Youtube. Thankfully she doesn't do it on the app. I need to be able to see the trainer suffering along with me 😄.

whatwoulddexterdo · 08/09/2026 09:08

Ok I guess I’m going to have to give this Jasper a go. Is he free on you tube?

samthebordercollie · 08/09/2026 09:18

A comment on the Fuel session about someone worried they would lose all their gains with the programme because it's more cardio than lifting
I did Day 1 today and didn't find it very hard, the weights were too light and my heart rate didn't get up as much as it does with the Intent and PE workouts I do, which have heavier weights and longer sets
I think it will be a good programme for conditioning and cardio and maybe maintaining muscle but I'm not sure there will be strength gains or much muscle built, it's good that the cardio reclaimers will now shut up as they have their programme
I will be dipping in but probably not following

Yeah white a lot actually! Yesterdays was 8 sprawls and then 4 each side of clean to squats for 7 minutes- nearly killed me! He does loads of interesting moves. It doesn’t feel as intense as Caroline as far as volume is concerned but it is tough if you choose the rights weights. I have had real doms especially with the ab work- not a crunch in sight either!bsk basically he doesn’t trash you like Caroline but j am finding him equally effective results wise

Been reading through the app comments- many are 🤢🥱. I thought about trying it out as I am due a Jasper upper body today big obviously push ups and a broken toe don’t mix so will have to see what Jasper has to over- chances are I will have to modify that as well. I had noticed that whoop whoop and Mrs whoop whoop were absent.
