Bootcampers get toned...

A thread for those of us wanting to tone up a bit after the weight loss!
I've downloaded the 30 day an challenge app mentioned on the BC thread. Also going to do push ups as I was getting better at these until I gave up my martial arts lessons. One day I will do a full one, still only able to go halfway down...

clear I told him I was exercising and he asked was LC not good enough any more? -He is rather sarcastic
I also like turquoise. I'm loving the app Smile

I followed the herd and got the turquoise ones too.

Have just done beginner level 1 on four different apps: abs, arms, butt and squats.

Not sure my form was great and I didn’t use a weight for the sumo squats, but Day 1 is done!

Need to get back into running too. Did a half marathon at the beginning of October but haven’t run since!

princessbear80 · 04/11/2017 22:28

And I did it upstairs in my bedroom so I didn’t have a live audience. DSS (16) would not have appreciated it! Hmm

SayrraT · 05/11/2017 09:22

Abs, bum and push ups done.

I'm not doing the cardio or anything else as I ride every day, play badminton once a week and do pole weekly as well.

I could feel my abs this morning Grin

I have deviated from the program a bit as my sit ups and crunches are identical. I can't get right up in a sit up. So instead I do crunches then I think they are called Russian sit ups Confused you raise your legs to 90 degrees and crunch up then twist side to side then back down and repeat.

Great idea, I'm going to join you and have downloaded 30 day abs, butt & arms. Just about to start day 1!

Day two abs done - beginner level 2. Starting to wish I had stuck with level 1, but I made it. Still sore from yesterday.

Decided to do day 1 and 2, so I'm caught up with you. Tomorrow will be the real challenge as I'm at work all day and by the time I pick the kids up, get them fed and off to bed I'm usually too tired for any exercise.

starsky same here. Working 7-7 then home to do kids bedtime story. I'd like to say I'll do it in the morning, but I'm up at 5:15 and leave just after 6... Maybe I can do it before bed, but I may have back/leg ache by then if it's a hard shift. Had a look at day 3 and it looks hard!

Have done day 2, all on beginner level 1. Much more challenging than I thought it would be. I might try to double up some days, so I catch up with the over the course of the month, and finish at the end of November. Also did a 2 mile run - first in 4 weeks, was very happy!

Good work everyone Smile

TimbuktuTimbuktu · 05/11/2017 12:45

Can I join in? I have been doing 30 day shred since last week. On day 8 today and I’ve finally stopped hurting all over!

Rshard · 05/11/2017 13:57

All welcome timbuktu

Day two of abs done, the crunches are hard! Makes my left hip hurt, might do tomorrow’s on my yoga mat

Kleptronic · 05/11/2017 14:59

I went horse riding.

kleptronic I am rather jealous. Last rode a horse when I was 16. (Got concussion) I'd love to ride now.
I actually have a half shift tomorrow I think, so will get mine done. But need a plan for my two long shift days.

Browsing the low carb folder I found this thread and was all excited and then remembered that I hadn't done today's yet! So hello! And off I go.

Kleptronic · 05/11/2017 21:35

Go riding ragz it's fucking fantastic. I went for a lesson for 30 mins, it was epic. Ooh me core!

SayrraT · 05/11/2017 21:41

If any of you are in Scotland you can come and have a shot on my horse Grin

Riding is a fantastic exercise kleptronic I wouldn't be without my horses.

Kleptronic · 05/11/2017 22:04

Oh SayrraT I am so jealous of you!!! I love riding, sadly due to cash flow been a beginner for 20 years. I can rising trot and canter, sitting trot is rubbish though. I can go over very low crossed poles, well the lovely horses can, and I don't fall off (touches wooden head). Liverpool's right by Scotland no?

TimbuktuTimbuktu · 05/11/2017 22:10

Day 1 of abs and thighs done. Hopefully it will Work in time for weigh in tomorrow!

starsky22 · 06/11/2017 07:19

Well my muscles her hurting this morning, so yesterday's workout obviously did something, am determined to stick with this, so will do today's workout after work

Rshard · 06/11/2017 07:31

Mine too starsky. I’ve done day 3, in my dressing gown which wasn’t the best choice. Rest day tomorrow on my app

ClearEyesFullHearts · 06/11/2017 07:58

We get rest days? I haven't even started but that's cheered me right up. Grin

SayrraT · 06/11/2017 08:09

On the app it's 3 day on, 1 day off cleareyes

HarlotsWeb · 06/11/2017 08:19

sayrra I am so envious that you have a horse! One of my rewards throughout this weightless is going to be the moment when I am within the weight range for the stables near me, so I can perhaps start riding again.

HarlotsWeb · 06/11/2017 08:20

I am sort of there already, but that is standing naked on the scales, and I suspect that they would want to weigh me in riding clothes and hat etc :)

ClearEyesFullHearts · 06/11/2017 08:46

I'm going to start calling you Lady Godiva, Harlots.

Sayrra that's made my day. Getting to a rest day will actually be my motivation now. Grin
