Caroline Girvan 2026- sore but still scrolling.

[BigButtons]

New thread!

@BigButtonshow is your partner doing today? @Gobacktotheworld2no idea why but I thought you liked push days 😂. Quad day for me, so did Day 3 PE and then added the quad day Play from Sunday which was really boring and honestly no need for the 45 second rests. I think quad days are my favourite but I’m worried mine are getting too pronounced

Thanks @samthebordercollie I collected him today replete with pace maker and man crying.

Aw man. Glad he's home!

No exercise for me today. Had our first viewing. No feedback. Onto the next! At least the house is nice and clean. As long as you don't open any cupboards.

@BigButtonsi hope you partner doesn’t have an induction hob!
chat GPT just informed me I have very underdeveloped glutes. Maybe Caroline is right to include all those hip thrusts I avoid!
@Fibrouscongrats on the first house viewing!

I did the same routine and was cursing those lunges! I did an evening one after coffee and cake and felt pretty rough. Definitely preferring the morning exercise at the mo.

I am knackered after this weeks stress so did not do the today or Weds. play seems very hit and miss. I loathe circuits so my heart sank when I saw it was another one.

There have been days I have enjoyed and others I have swapped out. I know on the fb group that there are people who will follow a programme religiously to the end. I just cannot be arsed with that any more.
I swap out like for like now. From my pov I thought play would be different but in many ways it just isn’t because the moves are all the same for every day. Just the formatting changes.
I was really hoping for more variety and I although I have put some sessions into my favourites I have also often replaced others.
most of the ones I have done I have found very tedious because if the same old moves.
it is like serving me cabbage at every meal and ving it a different top dressing. It is still cabbage.
i wonder where she will go from here?

I’m hoping for a PE2 @BigButtons! Hope your partner is doing OK now with his pacemaker. I like doing kettlebells on Saturday now to change things up so did the Kettlebell series glutes and hamstrings session, then the 20 minute full body cardio one. It was OK. I need to eat more to get glute growth I think, chat GPT has me at around 17% body fat is probably too low to get a nice round 🍑

Pe 2 would be great!
I don’t want my arse any bigger- it is absolutely not big at all but big enough now thank you very much!
I am about to attempt last weeks chest one. Went to get my hair trimmed this morning and then on to taking so shopping and doing all the lugging and carrying for him as he cannot lift anything atm.
we don’t live together so I am now back in my quiet home🙂

Mine is big enough already but it's flat not peachy. think my body fat is high twenties though.

I might do a chest one this evening. Let me know which one you do BB and if it's any good.

@Gobacktotheworld2i know but ChatGPT estimat does match withthe photos you see here. Inbody at the gym has me at 12% which is ridiculous. I know the only way to get an accurate reading is by autopsy 😂

Yes, despite all the hip thrusts she does now Caroline still doesn’t have a huge backside! You’re right, genetics play a HUGE role in body shape.

Hi, can I join? I haven't checked out the videos but I know they come highly recommended on MN. Can beginners start with basic weights? X

@Gobacktotheworld2totally agree, 10 x 10 sissy squats looked madness to me too. 3 sets of 10 is more than enough.

@Gobacktotheworld2 thank you! I did have a selection of weights and when we moved last year I didn't keep them. I've been very lax with things regarding my muscles. I will have a look at her paid app xx

@Gobacktotheworld2yes to PE and Intent, her best programmes on the App! @NippyNinjaCrabWelcome to the thread, nothing to add to what Goback said, just agree the body weight and basic weights are fine for starting and getting correct form. Good luck!

I did day 40 today because I saw the sissy squats in 41 and noped the hell out.

I need the distraction because my 14 year old son lives in Doha with his dad (he’s an expat teacher and works at a great school which is why my son lives with him - to go to the school) and has been awake all night scared of the Iranian missiles :( feeling quite upset and helpless here and the utter bollocks being spouted about the ME and the people who live there on other threads isn’t helping my blood pressure any! So a nice boring full body workout was just the ticket this morning.

On week 7 of Epic 2. Really enjoying this series for the variety. I think this is why I had a hard time sticking to the programs on the app- all the same moves
I need to say that a certain enthusiastic poster on the fb page and app is making my teeth itch. I thought he was an ex- academic and yet he finishes his sentences with ! or !! All of them!
