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

Love the strength gains week to week. Even if I’m lifting the same weight, I can feel a difference in the relative challenge. Love the seated shoulder presses!

Heather

Late workout but got it done. It was a struggle after attending a family funeral. Would have been easy to say will do it tomorrow after a tough day but negotiated with myself that I will feel better in so many ways just getting my workout done and I do.
Have a good evening my fitness family!

Floor Overhead Shoulder Press

A "superset" is an exercise sequence where you do the prescribed exercises one after another. 

In this superset, you will do:

A - Banded Clamshells
10-12 reps on each side (20-24 total)
controlled tempo
No rest, go directly onto B

B - 6 Way Shoulder Complex
10-12 reps
controlled tempo, no jerking of the body
60s rest, then got back to A

Repeat this superset 3 times.

- Place a band just above your knees
- Flex the hips to 45 degrees and the knees to approximately 90 degrees 
- Initiate the movement by abducting your top leg
- Push your knee away from the midline of your body                                                                                        
- Maintain contact between your feet throughout the movement
- Complete the desired reps, then repeat on the opposite side

Banded Clamshells

- Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, or sitting on a ball, bench or chair; hold a set of dumbbells in each hand, palms facing down.
- Keeping your arms straight, raise the dumbbells up and out to the sides so that your hands are at shoulder level.
- Bring your hands to the front and then up over your head.
- Bring the hands back down to the front, open them to the sides, and then lower them back down. This is ONE repetition. 
- Keep your shoulders relaxed throughout each repetition, focusing on squeezing the muscles at the top of each motion and maintaining a slow, controlled tempo.

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!!🏋️‍♂️💪🏋️‍♂️💪🏋️‍♂️💪🏋️‍♂️💪🏋️‍♂️💪🏋️‍♂️💪🏋️‍♂️💪

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!!! 🏋️‍♀️💪🏋️‍♀️💪🏋️‍♀️💪🏋️‍♀️💪

I’ve been looking for something like back extensions to strengthen mid back!! Yay!

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

Found the dead bug really tough today but plank was better.

Great workout! I need some 25 lb weights for the presses. Too big a jump from my 20 lbs to 27.5 weights!

Cindy Roberts

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!

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!!

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

Really feeling the progress vs week 1 💪🏼❤️💪🏼
