Destiel I tied myself in knows doing this as well. I just stood with my hands together in the end and concentrated on my legs.
I can't believe that we're nearly at the end. Well done fellow yogis 🧘🏼‍♀️

I did day 28 last night but I missed day 27. I've been so tired for the past two evenings I really wasn't in the mood for an energetic session. I'll catch it up when I have some morning yoga time.

Tomorrows is quite long I think?

May have to wait til later on...

I'm going to do day 29 in a little while. Tomorrow I'm out until late and it's long so think I'll get up early to do it. Really want to finish in January.

Just going back to the last thread I got the fabletics stuff today and I'm really impressed with the quality. I'm not going to have things every month but I signed up as a VIP and will get some more bits at some point.

Interesting to hear that about fabletics @whitershadeofpale I've been tempted by some of their bits for a while! Might take the plunge!

I've wondered about Fabletics. I thought that you signed up for monthly purchases, have I just made that up? Can you buy as and when?

You can buy as and when but it’s more expensive. If you sign up then on the 1st of the month they email you your selection for that month and if you want it then on 6th you get charged £44, if not you skip that month and don’t pay anything. If you’re never going to order anything else or not for a while then you just cancel your membership.

Haven't done today as I just don't feel up to it, my nose is streaming constantly so I am a little disappointed. I might try the one for when your are sick later if I feel a bit better. It's also absolutely freezing here (Cumbria) and my house it cold at the best of times, I think it's about -3 outside at the minute.

Tomorrow will be the free flow session if she is following her usual plan so I suppose I can miss it, although I always feel slightly emotional when we reach the end.

Lots of variety in Day 29. I enjoyed it, though still have to hang onto the wall for balances - think those are just going to have to go on my 'need lots of practise' list!

I did enjoy Day 29, nice to have a flow in there. I’m going to try and get the longer session in tomorrow morning, I’ve been a bit tired in the evenings this week and I want to finish properly!

I did manage to squeeze in Day 29, it was touch and go though, as I didn't get home from work until 7pm and was tired and hungry. I thought I'd start and if I felt rubbish I'd stop and rerun it tomorrow. I saw it through and it was a nice session (minimum waffle), nice flowing postures even a bit of light aerobics jogging on the spot which was handy as my feet were like blocks of ice from start to finish.

Feeling sad knowing tomorrow is the last Day

Enjoyed Day 29. A nice varied practice. Can't believe tomorrow is the last day. This is the longest I've stuck religiously to anything exercise related! Proud of us!

I didn't really enjoy day 29 and I'm not sure why. The forward folds hurt my back and the chair poses hurt my knees, my body is not happy today. Ended up getting pretty frustrated and then couldn't focus properly in Eagle pose and kept toppling over, grrrr. I suppose that just means more practice required. I think on Friday I'll be throwing in a bit of yoga for sore backs!

No idea really what to expect tomorrow, I've never made it to day 30 before! Intrigued by the posts saying she usually does freestyle on the last day.

I’m done I was a little nervous of the free flow but got into it more than I thought. There were sections where I couldn’t see the screen well and it did make me feel a little anxious and not settled into it. But by and large there were good flows you could get into.

One thing I did notice was how my breathing was coming more naturally and I’m sure I didn’t feel like that after the original 30 days. That was a bit positive for me.

If you do follow Adriene I found it a really good session for strength and stretching.

Really looking forward to seeing what everyone else thinks. Also a heads up it’s 37 minutes, not as long as I’d thought, helped fitting it in.

Day 39 done:)
I've fitted it on this morning as I was worried I wouldn't do it otherwise.
It was good, but I found it harder without her instructions.
My transitions are still so clunky/graceful!! :(
Thank you all for your company...day 1 of care tomorrow! :)

Yay got to the end! Think this is the first exercise goal I've ever achieved. I really didn't like not having instructions and have cricked my neck looking at the screen at the wrong angle.

Managed Day 24 and 25 but went easy on the squats. The Lizard twists were tricky, I couldn't dip as well, I just don't have the hip flexibility (yet).

Me too cherry!

Hooray! Made it to the end :-) I prefer it with more instruction but it was a nice ending. What's everyone's plan for Feb?

I’m going to try and keep it up but miss the occasional day. I’m going to use videos from her February playlist.

Yay I made it too !
Completely agree @Cherrypi
Well done everyone,
Namaste 🙏

Yes!! Completed it. Feeling pleased that I've managed to fit a session in each day. I was watching on my tablet so it was hard to complete some moves whilst trying to keep my eye on the screen. I might do the final day again now I know what to expect.
I've been saving a few videos that I've spotted after watching Adriene so I might have a go at those in February. I'm planning on doing them in between my gym days.
We could put some recommendations on here perhaps?

That's a good idea Deadbod I'm definitely going to try the Five Parks mentioned earlier. I think I'll follow the Feb Adrienne calendar then swap in some other ones based on recommendations. I think I'll have a go at another of Adrienne's 30day ones later on the year too (assuming I keep up with the yogaing!)

Yay! I’ve finished too. I prefer more guidance but I like that it was quicker and feel proud of myself to have furnished- it’s the first time I’ve ever finished something like this.

I’ll be carrying on from tomorrow. I have my driving test tomorrow (if the weather doesn’t call it off), can anyone recommend a good video to beforehand to get me in a good frame of mind?

Goodl luck! X
