LIIFT4 R2 W2 D3 Shoulders intervals & D4 Legs 50/50 (from Wk 3)

LIIFT4 R2 W2 Shoulders intervals was yesterday and I felt weak. Been fighting sinusitis for a few days and I think it’s took it out of me ☹️ as I’m clearly not 100%.

I went slightly lighter than usual and still had to drop my weights but got it done.

I skipped the core section and went straight into MMX but only 3 rounds and called it quits. 

Today was Legs 50/50 from week 3. After having what feels like a slight bicep strain after every leg day from holding up the heavy DBs and as my flexibility doesn’t allow me to be as upright as perfect form would like me to be, I decided to hold the DBs at my sides. It was soooo much better. 

Increased my bridge weight in the final set as they felt good 🙂

All others I kept the same.

Did well in the core as I held all the side planks for just about full time. Big progress from lots of knee downs previously so chuffed with that 😜

I was so burnt toast by the end though.

I may do some yoga tomorrow but 2 days rest and I should be feeing 110% and ready to start a fresh week! 

Keep at it every one x

P90X3 MMX and Yoga

Punching and kicking was just what I needed today but got interrupted after not long started but got back to it.

Had to cut my yoga short as time ran out but enjoyed it none the less and felt better for it 😊

LIIFT 4 Week 4 Day 3 Shoulders Intervals and X3 MMX

Shoulders was good today I managed to improve on last week by 5 reps on the Shoulder press so really pleased with that. But I did have to drop down again for them deadly shoulder flys.

Stuck with the same as last week for the raises and managed an increase on the first set only of the swimmers :)

Chased it with MMX again :)

B4Lift4 Full Body HIIT & P90X3 MMX

So Friday we finally got our drive extention finished - at last. Hard work but well worth it. We were originally quoted £900 to have it done and we pretty much did it ourselves for probably a quarter of that cost :)

New BB Energize and Recover Perfamance Line came on Friday with Lift4 Kit :)

I also bought a new 6ft x 4ft workout mat as my old BB ones are starting to breakdown after nearly 5 years of failry constant use - isn't so bad I guess.

Saturday after taking my Energize (which is very lemony but not bad) I did B4Lift4 Full Body HIIT while trying out the new mat which but it was just too slippery :(. I didn't feel safe on it at all.
When we got to the core section I stopped, got rid of the new mat and reorganized my old ones and needed something more so went to old pal Tony with some P90X3 MMX.

Took Recover which wasn't too bad either - it was less calories at than I usually have in my PWO but overall it was ok. We will see how it goes. I've been taking the same Pre and Post shakes for a long time so I figured a change is as good as a rest right?

Joel Freeman 8 x 8 and P90X3 MMX

Late posting as things are just crazy at the moment but yesterday I tried out Joel Freemans 8 x 8 on BOD which was pretty good.

I chased it with P90X3 MMX which was great fun as usual :)

Anyone else having trouble with BOD in a browser???? Some of the workouts just will not play for me - the play button isn't there on iMac and iPad???
So I had to use the BOD app on my ipad which also decided to read my HR monitor so well it wouldn't let my phone see it as usual so I had to use the BOD App HR monitor :(

I'm thinking of getting a Roku stick (as BOD refuses to play any workouts at all on my firestick at home) but does anyone know if can I use it on my iMac??? As I haven't got a TV or monitor in my gym???

X3 MMX & 22MHC Cardio 2 + foam rolling

Needed some Tony time so MMX for me and then straight into Cardio 2 - love it!

Followed by some foam rolling a good stretch.

P90X3 MMX and Yoga

Hamstring still a little tender so was careful with kicks but still gave it my all ;)

P90X3 MMX and Yoga

Magical ying yang combo for me;) destressing punching and kicking followed by stretching and calm - love it!

Shift Shop Wk3 D3 (My Cal Mods) P90X3 MMX and Shift Core

Needed a little less impact cardio to rest my knee today so MMX was a good choice for me especially as its a bit of a stress buster and I needed that too 😊

Chased it with Shift Core and felt a little stronger and my swimmers were much better.

My HR monitor app is messing me about so no graph today grrrr

P90X3 MMX and Yoga

P90X3 MMX and really enjoyed it, chased it with X3 Yoga as always a great combo for me.

Have a great weekend everybody.

22MHC Cardio 1 and P90X3 MMX

I went for a double today with 22MHC Cardio 1 followed by P90X MMX and it was great.

Tough but so much fun and I burnt a few calories in the process!

Love it!

CdForce Dynamic Strength (half of) & P90X3 MMX

I wanted try out Dynamic Strength so I did the first 6 rounds which I really enjoyed just as a taster ahead of the group hybrid start in the new year, but then wanted a cardio high without too much more leg work as I have tender glutes from yesterdays Legs and back!

So I hit MMX and crushed it as best as I could!!

Happy Christmas Everyone!!

P90X3 MMX & BOD Yoga Retreat Week 1 Day 4

Had a great morning working on the house, making lots more progress!

Then after dinner X3 MMX just to burn a few calories and then into some lovely gentle yoga = magic!!!

And trying not to undo all the hard work I had to indulge in some of my mums lovely home made blackjacks (flapjacks made with black treacle) yum!

MMX + Core 1

This made a nice change punch and kick tonight and with the sprawls/burpees I managed to keep up so much better thanks to 22MHC! Great Cal burn too!

Chased it with Core 1 and smashed it!

Lots of DOMS and I'm embracing the change!!

P90X3 MMX & P90X3 Yoga

Good combo of Ying and Yang tonight!

I had a very busy stress day and this was just what the doctor ordered, punch and kick out of the stress then stretch, relax and calm = magic!

P90X3 MMX + LM Combat Inner Warrior Stretch

X3 MMX + LM Combat Inner Warrior Stretch

Short on time so went for a slightly shorter one with MMX - great fun  I seemed to get through it with out dying tonight so pleased with that. My sprawls (Burpee without push up) are slowly getting better. I think it helps that my upper body is getting stronger  

Warrior stretch was just what I needed afterwards too - love it!

P90X3 MMX

X3 MMX

Loved this tonight, tried to concentrate on form and intensity and it went really well. My sprawls are slowly getting better and I just about kept up and didn't flake out at all
