It's "next week" already - morning of Monday, the 19th (in Australia), and I'm feeling ....

The outside ring of old spring-form cake tins. Largest on the floor, biggest ball, then a smaller tin, smaller ball, etc. have 3 balls (65", 55", & 45'), stacked vertically in an awkward corner.

Been very busy at work lately (exam writing/marking/reporting time), so DOING the workouts has been a MUCH higher priority than posting about them. Even now, I'm at the computer on a Sunday morning, to write school reports. I'm towards the end (but not finished) the Hardcore Series, then a break...

I'm still pluggin away as well. Viper is up next, and have been stalling a bit. Don't know that I could repeat a whole STS Meso set - once done, want to move along. That being said, I HAVE been repeating through the 56 I already did, so... that blows that story doesn't it? The Body Blast Series...

A workout is still worth doing even if modified or skipped - it's just EASIER to follow along & modify, especially if you're familiar with the workout - than it is to find something else. I've done MIC - the whole 70+min but with no air/all low impact. It served my purpose perfectly at the time...

Thanks! Good luck with Hard Core - it doesn't have that name because it's easy! You're not "fast and loose", you modify to personalise the workout to best suit your own needs! ;)

Day 16, Monday, 13/6/22 Circuit Max A heavy bunch are over. Looking forward to CTX.

SNAP! Day 15, Sunday, 12/6/22 Cardio Kicks Circuit Max on Monday, then onto CTX myself. All Step used to be a super favourite. STS will be Aug-Sep-Oct didn't get that far at my first 'chrono' attempt

Day 14, Saturday, 11/6/22 Pure Strength - Strong Legs & Abs being longer (65min) had a bit of dread, but trusted my log notes and actually READ them!! Went with my own suggested weight from the last time this was done, and it was fine. Tough, but fine.

Day 13, Friday, 10/5/22 Pure Strength - Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps the last two have been a cheerful relief by being shorter next is the final Pure Strength - for legs, 65min. Admitting to a little dread, but I shall TRUST myself that if my notes last time said I should go heavier, then I...

Days 3 - 12, Tuesday, 31/5/22 to Thursday, 9/6/22 Tue: Step Heat (incl. abs) Wed: Step Max Thu: Power Max Fri: Step Jam Sat: Step Fit Sun: Maximum Intensity Cardio Mon: Maximum Intensity Strength Tue: Step Works Wed: Interval Max Thu: Pure Strength - Back, Biceps, & Abs It's definitely being...

REDONE Day 2, Monday, 30/5/22 Mega Step Blast Another solid workout, though quite repetitive - for example: 8 richochet's in a row, 16 dynamic outer thighs. Concentrated on working hard - whilst my dog was pestering me with toys to play tug with the whole time - have to watch my footing not to...

RESTART Day 1, Sunday, 29/5/22 Step N Motion 1 This is a solid workout for me right now. Matched weights, but once upon a time, 2.5kg (5lb) was much too light. Building back is what this restart is about, so that when I get to that Hardcore Series again, I'm more ready for it.

I'm so sorry Lianne - I ground to a halt. Came up against Hardcore Extreme and stalled. Serious dread factor, but other things in my life are problematic too - just ennui/languishing. I don't think my fitness level is READY for the whole Hardcore Series - which was a bit of a gut-punch in...

I had a hiatus for a few days (a week?!) Mother’s Day activities, then a birthday, daughter visited, loads of work, but honestly …. Probably more due to dread factor as I had scheduled next to do Hardcore Extreme - interval blast and legs. Did the first 30min of it last night but DH interrupted...
