Was sort on time so did the 45 mins Flexibility version and it was great. Just what I needed.
It was a familiar tai chi warm up as I have been doing that on some morning just to wake up so that was nice start. Didnt do many push ups in the yoga section and overall loved it.

BodyAttack 96
Nope really dont like Bodyattack at all - just not for me. Its very go go go and no breathers or respite for the feet and my chest felt very bouncy and thrown about today - stopped around 30 mins :(
The group floor stuff is not helpful for those at home either.

Bodycombat 64 was great - tough and fast but enjoyable.

Rnd 2 6 W Wk 2 Strength and Power
Great workout - love this one with the curl, single left deadlift with knee drive and great shoulder burners OMG!!
Don't forget the cardio burner wth the squat jumps to knee tuck wowser!!!
Push lat raise is especially tough. I did a mixture of knee narrow push up and no push up on knees and no push ups on feet as the shoulder and core work are the priority I think.
All the core work - Side plank taps I did on one knee. Took a break in the 1st set but just about powered through in 2 and 3 :) So need to get some on feet next time around.

Rnd 2 6W W2 Total Body Push Pull
Love this one, tough pacing in the last 2 sets as he doesn't give you time to catch your breath but still enjoyed it.
Especially the burn out at the end as last I did 4 rnds but only 4 push ups on feet and the rest on knees (on Power stands) and today I did 4 rounds again just, but all push ups on feet wahoo!!! Really pleased with progress.

Catch up, Yoga and BodyCombat 67
I haven't posted in ages, things have been a little crazy with moving house and all that goes with that.
But I did a few weeks of Morning Meltdown 100 and then moved onto 6 Weeks of the Work and that was amazing!!
Loved it, tough but brilliant. The variety is something else!!!
I decided to change my diet up by going my plany based and ct out all the energy drinks, pre and post workout powders.
I started straight into round 2 of The Work but then took bad with IBS/stomach bug so been out of it for a week. But I got back to it with Yoga 21D Day 4 Flow on Wedensday and yesterday I had to go back to old fav.
Bodycombat 67 - after renewing my les mills subscription.
Loved it, my top end HR was not as good as usual but no preworkout to open things up I guess it was too be expected.
I cut the workout short by about 6 minutes, missing the last section but then did or attempted the core section. I had to listed to my body as I'm only just recovered from literally doing very little for week recovery from a weird bug and sloshy tummy.
The dip in the middle was me pausing to check an important email.
But I'm back it now, trying to lean down some of the fluff I put on over the months of moving, no workouts and too much comfort eating.
