Combined with travel exercises today 😁👍💪

Doris

Great workout!  I can feel myself getting stronger 🙏🏼

Karen

That was a sweaty one! Those side planks are deceptively hard! I do better with my arm fully extended.

Jamie

Awesome.  My home gym is set up.  The last motivational you made was key to continue if for life. What habits go out the door when life gets busy?  Why?  Fix that.

Tara Lucas

B2W4 Complete!   Finished strong and was able to finally hold all 3 sets of side planks for 1 minute.  🔥

I can't believe I did those side planks, all three, 60 Seconds each set each side. What an amazing strength workout!

Core superset was tough. Plank needs work

Oh wow!!! Lots of effort to do this day!  My left shoulder impingement is much better, but the pushups are harder because of it. The great thing is that my left should geeks better after I workout!  🏋️‍♀️ lots of stretching before and after!!! Yay!!

Nicole

W2/D1 Cardio

Ame-Lia

Had a hard time pushing weights up so felt the last two reps were barely possible. When I raise the weights, my knees get “twingy” so I’ll need to ease my way up. The great thing is I can feel heart rate increase a lot!! Yay!! Onward and upward!!

W2/D1 Home: Quad Focused (RPE 8)

W2/D2 Cardio

Not my best work-out. Couldn’t do the bench dips or the planks today. No idea why. But I gave my best to the rest of the workout. Some is better than none!

Mary

Wow!!! My left shoulder impingement is definitely still there, but I was able to raise the weights up!  Onward and upward!!🏋️‍♂️💪🏋️‍♂️💪🏋️‍♂️💪🏋️‍♂️💪🏋️‍♂️💪🏋️‍♂️💪🏋️‍♂️💪

W2/D2 Home: Chest, Triceps & Core (RPE 8)

Increased some weight, reps or had better form. Six way shoulder not as difficult. Some progress!

Seemed easy but sweating and doing less reps at the end! 😅😆

W2/D3 Home: Glutes & Shoulders (RPE 8)

Nice to have a break. Did 40 minutes on exercise bike and a lot of walking in some big box stores!

W2/D6 Cardio

Did it! My delayed flight did not allow me to do it on Saturday but got it in the bucket for week 2 💪🏼

My favourite so far!! This workout feels like I’m choosing how I’m going to age - setting myself up for a long life of mobility and strength.

Upped my weights!!! Really feeling my glutes and hamstrings working!!! 🏋️‍♀️💪🏋️‍♀️💪🏋️‍♀️💪🏋️‍♀️💪

W3/D1 Cardio

That superset at the end! Much better form, big improvement in split squat.

Feels good to start again.  Just got more home gym stuff and plan on 5 months straight working out and plan to up it from there.  Love this app.  Like checking boxes, how to videos and timer.

Did a bit better w split squat and sissy squats today

W3/D2 Home: Chest, Triceps & Core (RPE 8.5)

Up to 30 lb on the hip thrusts and 6 lb on the 6-way!!!

Those 6 way shoulder complexes. Couldn’t increase weight but got through each set without pausing. Still tough though!

Long brisk walk while my husband had a treatment. So good for my mental health.

Did it later than I planned but I got it done!

Cardio on the promenade in Riverside Park along the Hudson River!  Breathtaking sunset….sky was orange and pink and peach!!! A Mother Nature light show!!!

W3/D5 Cardio

What a mental push today….but I did it!!! And it feels great…as it always does!

Had to watch R shoulder - Physio assessed some pain from rotator cuff

Another great exercise, paid attention to the form.

Whew, made it through the week. I’m happy I got all the workouts in as it was so stressful and busy. Looking forward to a rest day.

W4/D0 👊 Intro to Block 2 - Week 4

Got up early to made sure I got my cardio in before my facial at 9:00.  (a 70th Birthday present to myself) Love the commitment I’m developing to be consistent❤️  Love this community!

Nancy 

W4/D1 Cardio

Upped my weights…adjusted stance so squats don’t make my knees “twinge”….feeling my quads getting stronger!!! 🏋️‍♀️💪💪🥲🏋️‍♀️💪🏋️‍♀️💪🏋️‍♀️💪🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️

The hardest workout of the week for me. My left quad is weaker but getting stronger. Split squats improved again so that’s a win!

I started at the beginning of the app and am only on week 4 of the second month, BUT I can feel the burdens falling off and way opening!

W4/D1 Home: Quad Focused (RPE 9)

Cardio in Riverside park along the Hudson which is gorgeous these fall days!  🍁🍁 average
Pulse rate was 113 , time was 30 minutes, 1.89 miles !!! Yippee!!

Cindy Roberts

W4/D2 Cardio

Felt really hard today…. Very shaky arms when I did planks!  Still being mindful of my left shoulder impingement which definitely limits me in going up
beyond 15 pounds for dumbbell bench presses (for now), but I’m still doing them!!! 💪🏋️‍♀️💪🏋️‍♀️💪🏋️‍♀️💪🏋️‍♀️

Arms are on fire! Core superset was a challenge.

Added 5 pounds to each weight today!!! Yipppeeee

W4/D2 Home: Chest, Triceps & Core (RPE 9)

Out on the promenade in Riverside Park…late, but I’m really proud of myself that I went out and did it!’n

W4/D3 Cardio

Yay!  I got it done!!!!💪🏋️‍♀️💪🏋️‍♀️💪🏋️‍♀️💪🏋️‍♀️

Shoulder complexes still tough but I had much improved form. I’ll take that as a win!

W4/D3 Home: Glutes & Shoulders (RPE 9)

30 minutes Pacing on the Mountain Lodge porch!

W4/D4 Active Rest Day

W4/D5 Cardio

Wow!  Really tough one for my left arm today!  I couldn’t do the side planks because side of my left shoulder. I will find another ab exercise to replace the side planks while my left shoulder is soooo sore!  I’m adding more arm/shoulder stretching in before and after my workouts! 🏋️‍♀️💪🏋️‍♀️💪🏋️‍♀️💪🏋️‍♀️💪🏋️‍♀️💪

Loved it ! Having some minor issues w my door pulls ,pull ups etc , need to figure out a better set up  for my suspension trainer
