W1/D0 👊 Intro to Block 1 - Week 1

Great! Beautiful day here in Calgary. Got in over 13,000 steps in 3 separate walks — two with dogs and one by myself after dinner.

Cindy Roberts

Morning walk 2.2 miles in 46 mins. Nice being outside

Margie

Walked at least 15 maybe it was 20. I need to better time myself. Felt great!!👍🏻

I’m sticking to the program with exactness this time. Only 15 minutes of cardio- not 30 or 45. Coach says 15 is enough so that’s all I did. 15 minutes of a walking aerobics video. Quick, got my heart rate up, and I feel refreshed not gassed. Now to focus on my nutrition- one meal at a time. Only focus on today.

Carrie

It’s hilly up here so I easily got my pulse rate up!  Yay!  Day 2 of cardio is done !  Did I mention the bear at our house as I came back down the street??? That gets my pulse rate up, too 😀

Deb Stanton

Decided to do 30 min Cardio even tho I’m recovering from a sinus cold 🤧

W1/D2 Cardio

Worked out in the garden in the evening even though tired,,, got it done!

It was fantastic, I got the pump going on today. I tell you.

Sherry

Awesome sauce! I thought I was going to fail while doing the frog crunches- but I didn’t :)

Great. Went for a walk while my husband had a treatment. Sunny, 29 C, logged 7,000 steps and so good for my mental health.

Lisa B🇨🇦

I’m upstate NY this week so I’ve lived hiking around Lake Minnewaska which I did today!  So beautiful!  And it  made for a great “active” rest day!  AND 15,489 steps!! Yippee!

W1/D4 Active Rest Day

Out along the Hudson River with my son ….way to get my pulse rate up when he comes along!

30 minutes on the treadmill - too smokey from BC wildfires to walk outside in AB! Good thing I made friends with my treadmill 😁🚶‍♀️👍

W1/D5 Cardio

Hard. Modified quite a bit because of back issues

Had a hard time getting my heart rate up after a sleepless night. So maybe not cardio for the whole time but did my best.

Out for 21 minutes of cardio in the hills!  Average pulse rate was 123!! Yay!

W1/D6 Cardio

A great workout for the glutes ! Ouch ! 😊

Valerie

I had a lot of difficulty with this workout because of my lower back issues. Substituted some other moves but not sure I addressed the hamstrings

W1/D6 Home: Hamstrings & Glutes (RPE 7)

Moderate exercise bike session, lots of other movement today.

Even Though it’s an active rest day, I’m heading out for at least 15 minutes of cardio

Road into “London” on the Peloton this am. Great class Happy 4th..

W2/D0 👊 Intro to Block 1 - Week 2

Yay!  Got it done late tonight after going to a celebration of someone s life…he died yesterday and so it seemed all the more important to take care of myself…

W2/D1 Cardio

Good start into the week with some progress already, feeling good!

Denise

W2/D1 Home: Quad Focused (RPE 8)

Great! Time to up the weights a bit on some parts

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

Elliptical 20min sprints 1 min on 1 minute off

Sandra

6 km on exercise bike. Now on to weight training.

Oh man!  I keep forgetting to slide the completed slide when I do my cardio!

W2/D3 Cardio

Mixed up days and weeks - did that one yesterday

Another workout done. And again in a day I thought I'd try skipping because of fatigue and not sleeping too well. But I did it anyway. If that is my one goal this month then that is enough.  And of course I walked out feeling so much better mentally and more energy. Never fails

Form is much better. Next time heavier weights.

Awesome 30 mile ride in Maine with Amanda

Jacqueline Mathusek

W2/D4 Active Rest Day

50 minute spin class — lots of sweaty fun!

1 hr walk in the rain combining day 3 and 5

Brenda

W2/D5 Cardio

Done! Proud that I showed up! Hardest part is getting thru the gym doors

Found this really tough today as I increased the weights. Glad it’s done!

Wow!!!! My TRX-like straps arrived so I could do the pull ups!!! So exciting to start these!! I actually look forward to working out 🏋️‍♀️ because of all of the detail in Caroline’s instructions! There are last week many little nuances..things I never really “got” before!  It makes me confident about building muscle!  AND I really love seeing the weight I did

W2/D5 Home:  Back, Biceps & Core (RPE 8)

Done! Looking forward to an active rest day tomorrow.

This pushes me to get it in. I need the accountability. Seeing it unchecked won’t do! Did 20 minutes of incline walk with intervals of jogging.

W2/D6 Cardio

I def see the progress both in strength and on the scale!

W2/D6 Home: Hamstrings & Glutes (RPE 8)

I switched my active rest day to today, Friday and will do the scheduled workout tomorrow.

Another great day of Vimeo g with Amanda!!!

W2/D7 Active Rest Day

Love Caroline’s workouts. They are progressive, well thought out on her part, and takes the wondering “what should I do next” out of mix for me. She’s actually the one doing the heavy lifting! 😉😂

W3/D0 👊 Intro to Block 1 - Week 3

W3/D1 Cardio

Quads, especially left leg obviously need work! Wall squat was a few seconds longer and balance better on walking lunges. So some progress!

W3/D1 Home: Quad Focused (RPE 8.5)

W3/D2 Cardio

On week 3 of block 1 and I haven’t missed a day! Increased my weight this week!

Mary Lee

Able to increase weight for 2 sets then back to lower for 3rd. Arms like jelly!

Wow!!! Sore arms as I upped the weights!  So grateful for the ab exercises….a weak spot of mine!!!

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

Perfect day for cardio along the Hudson River!!

Great - now on to EMOMS while away from home! 😁💪

I wonder if I’m doing the banded kneeling crunches wrong. I felt them more in the glutes.

W4/D0 👊 Intro to Block 1 - Week 4

W4/D1 Cardio

A bit better balance, wall squats for longer, 10 or 13 lb dumbbells. Slight progression

Beginning of week 4 in block 1!! Yay!  Question….my weighs aren’t carrying over each week..I’m seeing how many twos I did the week before, but not the weight. I always wrote in the weights I use.  Any idea how I can fix this so o can see what weight I did the week before?

W4/D1 Home: Quad Focused (RPE 9)

Tough today after too little sleep. Got it done but not my best workout.
