Bodyweight beginners 10 and a 30 minute walk. My knees have been creaky and aching in plank, which is weird. I did the reptiles from the floor to take the pressure off.
10 miles of mountain biking yesterday. It was so fun and SO hard. I only had to walk up one hill. I was totally wiped out afterwards for the rest of the day, but today I’m not sore somehow!
Today I did 8 Minute Tabata #12. I used my lighter KB (15#) and did reverse lunges instead of jumping and girlie pushups. My heart was pounding by the end but it still felt like a nice recovery day.
I knew yesterday was going to be an insanely active day so I didn't do a formal workout. I did do some upper body dumbbell exercises while waiting for my pizza to come out of the oven.
This morning, I did Lifted Butt Series #13. I love that one because it's all zero impact weights. No jumping, no power bands, no sliders. My favorite exercise was the curtsy lunge with a medium kettlebell where you pass it from hand to hand and switch legs on every rep. It was a fun and I really felt it.
Yesterday I did Lifted Butt 11. I'm kind of sort of playing around with the idea of following the Bikini Butt Lift Program. We'll see though. My Zgym induced workout ADD might mean I change my mind on this in a week.... or tomorrow haha
Stretch and tone #20 today. I boogered my knee at work today (Damn cabinets) so I just modified anything that hurt as I went. It’s nicely bruised so I doubt I can put much weight on it for the next couple of days. I’m so graceful!
I felt totally wiped the last couple of days so took Tuesday and Wednesday off other than a couple of walks. Today I did Kettlebell Fit Slide Beginner #2. I didn’t think it sounded that hard in the description but holy crap, 3 rounds about killed me!
I did cardio shred #46B today, and really liked it. That’s amazing because I usually haaaate anything with cardio in the title. Might have to get a wee more open minded.
I did a quick made-up dumbbell workout as an afterthought tonight. For most of the day I was either busy going to appointments or enjoying being a slacker.
Yesterday I did Stretch and Tone #1. It's a really awesome stretchy workout with a little bit of "toning" work. I loved it. My favourite flow was plow to squat to plank to push up to squat to plow to seated forward bend.
Today I did Lifted Butt 11. It has a 100 swing buy in. I approached it with the attitude of "I'll just see how many I can do, no pressure". I ended up doing all 100!! I did the first 50 straight in a row. Then I took a little break before doing another 30, then switched to my 26lb bell and did the last 20. I only did 2 workouts because that was enough for me. My favourite combo was the squat pass under to curtsy lunge.
I did an extremely modified version of Body Crush #38. I did sit ups to regular old squat because one legged squats are not happening for me yet, lol. I also didn’t hop during the frog burpees, just stood up and squatted back down. Finally, I found the crab thingy to be too awkward and hurt my wrist so I just did crab leg lifts. My pace could only be described as “leisurely” and I read a bedtime story in between the 2 sets.
I did one round of upper body and abs #6 today. I normally take Friday off, but I’ve been trying to do a little more lately. My motivation level was not there. I did negative pull ups instead of assisted and left the weight off the hollow scissors. At the end of one round, I decided I was in more of a stretchy mood. I did stick ups and wall angels, scapular push ups, puppy pose, cobra and child’s pose to finish it out. That was much more my speed today. Looking forward to some KBs tomorrow.
I've not been excited about ZGYM workouts lately. I don't know why. I've done them basically every day for five years. Maybe that has something to do with it? I loooooved them for so long. I still enjoy them, generally speaking, but every day this week when it's time to workout, I'd rather not. Or, at least I'd rather not jump around like a rabbit and do flying handstand twist leaps off a wall. What is up with that? I don't know, so I'm going to chill out for a few days. Maybe I'll miss it and my enthusiasm will return. Or maybe I'll be fine without it and cancel my membership. This is the first time I've ever had that thought.
[@skwigg], I definitely have times when I don't feel like jumping, etc. Those are times when I turn to Beginner Strength, Black Diamond, Stretch and Tone, and some of the Power Yoga routines. I always find something I enjoy. Hopefully you will, too! If not, just go with what does sound fun...which can definitely be chilling.
Hey, guys!
Things are crazy here as we are preparing to move countries. I'm still doing ZGYM and still reading posts...just not much time to post my own.
This past week was filled with...
KB Fit Slide Beginners #1
Cardio Shred #46 B - I used my 16 kg KB and added push-ups to the plank jack slides.
8 Minute Tabata #12 + 5 Minute Fat Burning Workout #76 - Abs (my abs were on fire!)
Stretch and Tone #31
Body Crush #38
Power Yoga #4
I think I'm missing one in that list...
Today, I just finished Beginner KB Workout #5. I used my 12kg KB and did regular knee hugs (without support). I finished with a little handstand practice (and stretching, of course). It was great!
Today, on my first day of doing or not doing whatever I feel like, I did: crow pose into headstand and back to crow, 5 chin-ups, and 100 kettlebell swings.
Yesterday I did Beginner Kettlebell #5 which was only one round, short and sweet. Today I did Bodyweight Beginners #10. I found it to be really challenging, especially the elevated reptiles, yikes! Im not really a fan of the 45 second interval workouts, I tend to just wish they were over with the entire time. But I did feel great afterward!
I took a podcast walk both days this weekend. I really enjoy listening to something inspiring and strolling during sunset. It’s good for the body and soul.
Yesterday, I did JRC Fit Slide #1 X. It was a great workout—not up to favorite level, but definitely a good workout.
Today, I just finished the relatively new 8 Minute Tabata #17 X. I followed it up with 5 Minute Workout #44 - Bikini Ready and handstand practice (and stretching, of course). It was great!

I did the first two exercises of the new Body Crush #38 and wasn't into it today.

😱😱😱 Zgym without Skwigg would nooot be the same. I (selfishly) hope you miss it

Oh, and of course, my ultimate favorite: KB workouts. 🙂
