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!!

I LOVE exercises that indirectly work the core muscles at the same time. Makes me feel like a powerhouse!

Those shoulder presses! Had to drop weight and they were still tough.

Very brisk walks to and from an appointment. Felt great in the sunshine.

20 minutes of Apple Fitness Latin Dance… 💃

Nicole

W2/D1 Cardio

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!!

Superset was too much for me after first set. Subbed reverse lunges for last 2. Still working the quads.

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

Had a hard time with diamond inclines and plank. Two to work on!

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

W2/D3 Cardio

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!

Rest day!!
Yoga and stretching
Have a lovely weekend

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/D0 👊 Intro to Block 2 - Week 3

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 Cardio

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

The plank did me in today ! Only got one in. Going to do the other 2 sets tomorrow morning before work

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

W3/D3 Cardio

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

It was great ! The 6 ways are sneaky hard for sure 😅

W3/D3 Home: Glutes & Shoulders (RPE 8.5)

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

Slight sore throat today so switched my rest dat to today….tea and a good night’s sleep and I’ll be ready to workout 🏋️‍♀️ tomorrow!!

My own private Tour de France today! 😂 @cyclehappy

W3/D4 Active Rest Day

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!!

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 💪🏼❤️💪🏼
