    I have battled with weight and now I'm getting older it seems to be getting harder. I have tried many programs but I am now using this program and it seems to be working for me. Thought I would share. Hope it works for you.

    Just looking to join now. 42 from central California and Im -5lbs into a 30lb goal. Can use all the support and motivation I can get.
    Does anyone use peloton? I’ve been working out at home with the app and love it but could use some tips or suggestions on how to maximize my calorie burn in under an hour a day. Is it best to focus on strength training or cardio?

    Been MIA for awhile... good to see the regulars carrying on.

    I've had some ups and downs this off season. Weight is coming off as planned based on dieticians suggestions. My swim fitness is coming along nicely thanks to regular sessions and a weekly swim clinic. Cycling has been all indoors, but I'm gaining endurance.

    The frustration for me is that my Achilles injury is not responding and I'm wondering if my best running days are behind me. I'm not giving up yet, but I've decided against surgery for now, and the only thing that brings relief is not running and wearing the stability boot. My first race is in mid June, and it looks like I may have to do my run training via the elliptical, Alter G treadmill and/or aqua jogging. ugh.

    Welcome back!! Ouch on the Achilles injury!! I'm just coming back from 3 herniated discs in my neck. No pull ups, rope climb, monkey bars, or rings for me for at least another 6 months. So, no OCRs this year. My daughter is trying to convince me to do a tri sprint in September. We'll see if she's successful.

    Praying for a speedy recovery for you!

    Brute Force Operator Series Alpha 25! “The Kraken”!!! 55#! Paced myself and took breaks when needed (Aka a lot)!!
    Broke 1,000! I got 1,006 Total reps☠️☠️☠️

    I'm not sure I have the attention span for that, lol! I even have to break a Murph into Cindy's just because I can't stay focused for more that 20 reps of anything, lol!

    P90X3 Block 2 started this week. I like most of the workouts in this block, except MMX. He can call them "sprawls" all he wants, they're still Burpees! And no one should have to do that many burpees in a 30 minute workout! I'll be subbing a good kickboxing routine for those workouts, lol!

    I managed to get in 3 out of 4 runs last week and all of Transition week on P90X3 as well as a couple of rounds of Disc Golf. I used my favorite Disc Golf course for my long run last week. The course is about 2 miles long and I ran it 3 times for a nice 6-mile run. I'm still slow, but I'm still a runner. Joggers find dead bodies. I've never found a dead body, therefore I'm still a runner, lol!

    Have a great week everyone!

    Looks like my old joints are catching up with me, I've been having some serious hip pain on my left side. Not sure where it came from, I had it a little when I was younger and a doctor said it was probably some sort of arthritis. Now all of the sudden, over a decade with no pain, and it's back with a vengeance.

    I'll see my doctor tomorrow, but won't be running for a while. Not sure if yoga tonight will be good or bad for it. At least I can still lift weights, just upper body only.

    I am about to be 48. Was 210 pounds Jan 2018. All fat. Now, 165, down from 35%bf to 9% bf. Although, I still think I am 14% in the trunk. So, still lots of work to do there. I eat clean from monday to sat 5pm. From 5pm to monday morning, it is a free for all. I go to the gym for 3am. And do 50 min strength and 60 min stair master, average steps, 4500. So, 22500 stairs a week. I was doing mostly push exercises, but my joints and body hate me, so have transitioned to pull. I see a RD every six weeks for evaluation, which for me, is the cornerstone of my success.

    it's not 1,006 reps of one move. there's a specific list of moves that we did throughout Alpha. each move is one minute. we tally up all the reps at the end for the final score.

    I'm so done too, it took me 2 hours to get to work today because of the snow, usually takes 30 minutes. And it's still bitterly cold outside, sick of it.
