    You will naturally put on muscle in this type of routine which weighs more. But, that said you have to track, and be very honest about it your calories in. Without a deficit you will never lose weight. However, you will firm up and feel better. When or if you get burnt out with this routine knock it down to a very simple push-ups sit ups and squats routine. Push-ups are absolutely amazing when done correctly and consistently. No matter what, your journey is going to be amazing and you’re going to accomplish your goal! So excited for you!

    Aw thanks so much for your advice and encouragement @chocolate1902 I couldn't resist a nosy at the scales this morning (to much time on my rest day 🙈). I have been 'playing the numbers game' and the majority of my days have been in a deficit AND.... I'm delighted to say I have lost 5lbs! 😁👍👍 I'm so pleased! And it's very encouraging so time to stick with it and consistency will win out! Brilliant start to the weekend! Have a great weekend!

    Day 22 - Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs. Done 💪
    Oh jeez was not feeling like this at all today! This seems to be becoming a pattern 🤣 BUT... I pressed play and got on with it - it took about ten minutes, but I got the the right head space 👍
    I always get to the frog jumps and I'm done, but I reckon it's a lot to do with all the other people stopping at that point too - so I'm going to test my theory on the next Pure Cardio and mute / not look at that point to see if I can push through 😕🤣time will tell! Managed another few of those dreaded double leg lifts on the Abs routine too 💪👍👍 I hope everyone has a good weekend!

    katylockett, I'm impressed with your discipline, hitting that 'play' button even when it is hard.

    Your thread is very encouraging, thank you.

    Day 23 - Cardio Power and Resistance. Done 💪
    I really like this circuit, it's the one I feel I'm improving on the most. I did more power jumps, push ups and even managed a few tricep dips (I stuck at these 🤣🙈).
    So pleased I'm on week four already 😱, time has flown!

    Day 24 - Plyometric Circuit. Done 💪
    I managed all the first level one drills again as well as the other two rounds of push ups and floor sprints, BUT... I managed more ski abs and in & outs 😁👍 I only have one more shot at this before my recovery week so I'm going for it next time - my arms & shoulders are my problem with these moves, they keep giving in 😬 I will hope for miracle arm strength on Thursday 🙏🤣 Happy Monday everyone, hope its a good one!

    Well done! Just a word of caution on the pushing yourself front - don't always go to failure. Sometimes less is more. :-)

    Thanks @skinnyrev2b True enough, I can see myself feeling defeated on Thursday if I don't manage the full circuit 🤔 I'm going to change my thinking on this - I'll do as many as I can manage with correct form (which will be loads more than when I started), which will change my thinking from defeated to buzzing 😁🤞💪 Thanks again this is really keeping me on track 👍👍

    Day 26 - Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs. Done 💪
    Well my theory was correct 😱👍👍🎉 I muted the sound from the start of frog jumps and I was able to push through until about the third suicide jump (burpee) 😁💪 very pleased! Cardio Abs are still a work in progress 🤣🙈 those C sits 😳😬 Glad to have got my workout done early 😅 😊

    That's very cool Katy! It just goes to show how sheep-like we can be without realising it. Its so cool that you a)identified that might be what's going on and b) found a solution to it. B)

    I know right 🐑 I just found is so suspicious that I was burning out at the same time, every time 🤔 Of course now I know this, I have to push past each time now 🤣😳

    Day 27 - Plyometric Circuit. Month one done 😱💪🎉😁👍
    Wow can't believe month one is done, it was a quick month! I definitely did more of the dreaded level one drills 😬😅 and really dug deep! Interested to see what the recovery week routine is and scared to find out what the month two routines are 🤣
    I feel so much fitter and really happy I took on this challenge! Defo won't be able to resist stepping on the scales tomorrow as I'm already wondering - I'm going to take my measurements again too🤞time will tell 😬

    Day 28 - rest day 😁👍👍 I couldn't help myself but have a sneaky peak at the scales 🙄..... Weight maintained 🙄 which although I should be happy with that, I couldn't help feeling disappointed as I feel like I've lost so much BUT THEN...... I took my measurements and to say that turned it around would be an understatement!
    Arms: Lost 1/2" on both 👍👍
    Chest: Same. All those blooming push ups 🤣💪
    Waist: Lost 8.5" 😱😳 I checked this like three times! Amazing!
    Hips: Lost 6.5" 🙈🙊 again triple checked 😱
    Thighs: Lost 2" on both 😁👍👍

    Thanks so much for the suggestion of taking my measurements @skinnyrev2b this has turned my day around, buzzing! Have a great Friday everyone 😊
