Shift Shop Wk3 D5 (My Cal Mods) Speed 45 and Shift Core

Loved this one today and pushed as hard as I could as it the last time doing it in this 3 Weeks.

I should have skipped the Downing burpee completely as I've tweaked my back so I've been resting it for the last few hours. Hopefully should be ok for tomorrow's Strength 45.

I went straight into Shift Core which felt pretty good although I was a little tired.

Happy Sunday everyone.

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

Shift Shop Speed 45 & Shift Core

OMG I loved this one!!!!

Lacking a little sleep as yesterday we bought home the newest member of the family - a 9 month old Cocker Spaniel Pup who was left outside all the time and had very little company.

After an emotional and stressful few days I needed the stress release and boy this workout did that for me today. Lots of different but same'ish moves that really got you moving. I was short on space in the living room today so modified as I needed to, had a couple of interruptions with the pups but I gave it my all - Phew!!!!
Nice burn too - I did 505 in 52 mins (with the interruptions)

Chased it with Shift Core as I didnt have time to do it yesterday and I'm definitely getting better at it ;)

Unless Speed 50 surpasses it this one of my new favorite cardio routines!

Shift Shop Wk 1 D6 Strength 25 and Shift Core

I nearly moved on to Speed 35 today but decided to stick to the schedule with Mona.

Increased some weights and decreased others as I was using KGs instead of Lbs.
Used power stands again for floor work where I could.
In the Renegade Rows my plank felt stronger than last time so that was good.

Shift Core - I noticed significant improvements on almost every move so that was really surprising and exciting.

I won't lie my muscles feel a little tired today so I am looking forward to just Shift Mobility tomorrow before the start of Week 2 and the 35 mins workouts on Wednesday.

I'm never sure where to pitch my weights for these types of workouts - I always want to go as heavy as I can but that can slow things down and I feel then I can't keep up with them onscreen. Should we aim to go as heavy as poss or should we go lighter to keep up with them - is less weight more reps better??

Shift Shop Wk 1 D4 Strength 25 and Shift Core

My left shoulder is a little niggly, to my frustration, so I was careful but crushed Strength 25 again. I did up my weights so I was pleased with that but I had to modify the bear kicks on my knees.

Today I added Shift Core (as per calendar) straight after and it was really good. Great new moves that really hit the core muscles. Some really tough moves for me and some easier ones.

I'm enjoying Shift Shop so far and I love the fact that Cardio and Strength days flip flop but one complaint I personally have is all the plank work - its every day in every workout so my shoulders/upper arms are suffering slightly and don't feel like they are sufficiently recovered by the next day.
I may modify slightly tomorrow to try to give a bit more recovery in readiness for week 2 as I'm really looking forward to the longer workouts.
