MARCH '20 GLUTES AND LEGS CHALLENGE (4 WEEKS)
Replies
-
Yesterday 9th March was day 5 for me. Ran for 1 mile, then did below. I still cannot catch up with their speed. But trying my best.
https://youtu.be/bdCX8Nb_2Mg 1 -
Day 1: I did 2 out of your 3 sets and then 7 minutes for Abs from Strong by Zumba + 5 min Planks. Didn't have weights (the 750ml water bottles were a joke), so I increased the reps and added some exercises.
Day 2: Found my sand weights - delighted!, time to move to the next level. However, I chose Le Sweat, 30 mins HIIT. As I had told you I bike to work and want to run at least once a week, so I need to work my upper body too... Also, working out first ging in the morning is a challenge by itself. Need to make it a little fun 😁.
Day 3 (Sat night, old style schedule 😔): did this Barre workout (see day 5, I liked that one more): Tina, you sure feel your booty and thighs with that one and there's not much jumping, so you might like it 😉
Day 4: Mo, 9.3., as agreed 😉 with Tina. Tried Tina's suggestion "Intense FULL BODY STRENGTH Workout". Frankly, it was not so intense. My sand weights for arms are about 1kg each, so for most exercises I held on my ankle sand weights, too. I NEED dumbels, have I already mentioned that? 😁
Day 5: for some reason, the alarm went off at 6. On non workout days, I wake up at 6:45. So I used the extra minutes on this: Ended it all with a 4min planks combo. Cause, yeah, another challenge I'm in 😉.
When I'll have time, I'll try her 45min workout.
Next time I need 1h, to try out Tina's
FULL BODY HIIT Workout // Strength + Cardio
But this might not happen on Wednesday, usually I need about 15min to get into gear after waking up. I guess browsing the MFP posts pre-workout is not the best strategy ☺️.
Keep up the good work, everyone!

Hi!
Unfortunately none of the links work. :-( Could you please re-post?
Regarding the "Intense FULL BODY STRENGTH Workout", keep in mind that all my suggestions are for beginners and you surely aren't one. That workout was really hard for me.
From what I've recommended, the only one Advanced is "Monster Monday At-Home HIIT Workout". Maybe you should skip the rest (that are only good for the warm-up for you) and try the Monster one. :-)
Keep up the good work! Well done!

Have a good day everyone!

Wish I could edit, but that's possible only within 1h from posting. So here we go:

I liked the first better. Am willing to try her 45 mins' workout.
Now planning on tomorrow's workout and maybe order adjustable dumb bells before going to sleep.
@micronirav thanks for the feedback. Thought noone would read my long report. Not doing bad yourself ;-) :thumbsup:
@Tina2018: you're overestimating me! The trainer looks like a professional and her muscles... I would not keep up with her, dunno if I should even dare trying!

I saved them both. The last one looks like torture, so I'm gonna try it.

Not sure why you videos appear under a Spoiler button.
Because I choose to put them like this. Html basic knowledge. A tad geeky.
I dont like it when the threads have one message filling up the whole page, with Day 1 to Day 30 listed ln each row for 1 Person. I post this way in the planks challenge for the same reason. You're just one click away from seeing them, hope that's not a hurdle...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgABTW7OSXQ
I like her so much better than the omG Justiz, with her 5m blah blah intro.
I ordered adjustable dumb bells, should get them over the weekend. I am so excited. Now I just have to find a suitable strength routine. 🤔

I've done that one. I really have zero chemistry with that girl... :-D
You can always skip the 'bla bla' intro of her workout. I put them here only for the beginners, for those who don't know the moves (I do the workout without the videos).
I'm glad you've bought adjustable dumb bells yay! :-) Enjoy them!
By the way I've tried the barre workout but I didn't like it at all.. :-( I had to focus all damn time to keep balance, that I was not able to make the mind-muscle connection and actually focus on working that muscle group. Also, it was way too easy (except for 5 minutes toward the end). I barely broke a sweat. Also, the second day I've had all kind of joint pain so... never again. It's not my thing, sorry. :-)0 -
Days 6-7 done (16-17 of March)
Week 3:
bouncing squat to a curtsy holding a 3kg weight
kickbacks/donkey kicks/leg circles/fire hydrants with 2kg ankle weight
side-side crab walks/clam shells with medium (16-18kg) resistance band
standing side leg raise with medium (16-18kg) resistance band
single leg deadlift holding 2x3kg dumbbells
Romanian deadlift with 12kg kettlebell
single Bulgarian split squat holding 4kg dumbell
weighted bridges with 5kg weighted bag
Still breaking a sweat. I feel the Bulgarian split squat and squat to curtsy to be working the best (I feel the muscle burrrning). Although I should mention that this is only a 45' portion of my 70-100' workout.
Take care, everyone! Stay safe and healthy.1 -
Day 1, 3/2: I did 2 out of your 3 sets and then 7 minutes for Abs from Strong by Zumba + 5 min Planks. Didn't have weights (the 750ml water bottles were a joke), so I increased the reps and added some exercises.

Day 7,3/12: Tina's warmup and Set 1. I dont have a rubber band, so instead of Set 2 I tried this for inner thighs 😍:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgABTW7OSXQ
So... where do I start? My dumbells had arrived last weekend and I decided for this:
https://coconutsandkettlebells.com/german-body-comp/
I have also decided to go for a 7day plan with GBC above:
https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/conditioning-workout-for-women.html
In spite of being a little impatient, I was sensible on Saturday and did not start weight lifting, considering that I went on a bike trip with my son after cooking all morning. I did start on Sunday afternoon, though
Day 8, 3/15: weight lifting, Day 1 of GBC (@Tina: do these days count or just the cardio days?)
Day 9, 3/16, cardio in the morning, as agreed with Tina. I did this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shjOhAMEhfA
Day 10, 3/17: weight lifting, Day 2 of GBC
Day 11, 3/18: since, well, I have dumbbells (yeay!), I had to try something new:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXZy5NZB9uY
Also, I went for a run. Short and quick, about 9.6 kmh
Day 12: 3/19: weight lifting, back to Day 1 of GBC. My legs hurt (yes, I know, muscle building
)
Today I also ran, short and quick, after a nice walk with my boys (including the grown up one).
I hope to be able to do some cardio tomorrow. Today was somehow a rest day :laugh:. Ideally, 45-60 min. Dunno how to fit that in, though... I don't like eye witnesses
How's everyone else doing?

Tina, sorry if you wasted your time on barre. I told you that you overestimate me! I was happy with the 2 videos above, they made me sweat and keep an eye on the digital watch that they display with the videos. Unfortunatelly, I don't have time for 1h workouts - I have to squeeze mine in, when the kids are sleeping or busy with someone else. Or else, they would at least come and start talking to me :laugh:. 2

No problem. It might have to do with my sensible joints.
I don't know what you mean by 'Do these days count or just the cardio days?'. For this challenge it counts only when you do it... 3 times a week, so 12 times in March. In your case (because you work a lot on legs and glutes and you do it partially), it counts on your strength training days. If you feel it's too easy, you don't have enough weight.
By the way, my husband keeps saying that my booty got rounder. I've measured myself and checked myself in the mirror. I've lost some centimeters and it got rounder! Looking good. :-) I'm a bit worried because I'm under self-quarantine and out of 6 resistance bands I've got to the hardest one. I hope this won't become too easy before the Corona virus vanishes...
I understand what you mean. It's more challenging for you but in the end, you should do what you can and for how long you can. What matters is that you are active.1 -
Week 4:
bouncing squat to a curtsy holding a 6kg weight
kickbacks/donkey kicks/leg circles/fire hydrants with 2kg ankle weight
side-side crab walks/clam shells with hard (20kg) resistance band
standing side leg raise with hard (20kg) resistance band
single leg deadlift holding 2x3kg dumbbells
Romanian deadlift with 12kg kettlebell
single Bulgarian split squat holding 6kg dumbell
weighted bridges with 5kg weighted bag
I certainly see changes in my booty. Looks better, it's smaller (2cm) and rounder. :-)2 -

22 and 23 of March: same weights as previous time. 3rd week finished.0 -
Week 1:
Day 1, 3/2: I did 2 out of your 3 sets and then 7 minutes for Abs from Strong by Zumba + 5 min Planks. Didn't have weights (the 750ml water bottles were a joke), so I increased the reps and added some exercises.
Day 2, 3/4: Found my sand weights - delighted!, time to move to the next level. However, I chose Le Sweat, 30 mins HIIT. As I had told you I bike to work and want to run at least once a week, so I need to work my upper body too... Also, working out first ging in the morning is a challenge by itself. Need to make it a little fun 😁.
Day 3, 3/6 (Sat night, old style schedule 😔): did this Barre workout (see day 5, I liked that one more):
Week 2:
Day 4, 3/9, as agreed 😉 with Tina. Tried Tina's "Intense FULL BODY STRENGTH Workout". Frankly, it was not so intense. My sand weights for arms are about 1kg each, so for most exercises I held on my ankle sand weights, too. I NEED dumbels, have I already mentioned that? 😁
Day 5, 3/10: for some reason, the alarm went off at 6. On non workout days, I wake up at 6:45. So I used the extra minutes on this: Ended it all with a 4min planks combo. Cause, yeah, another challenge I'm in 😉.
When I'll have time, I'll try her 45min workout.
Day 6,3/11: this was killing!

I'm SO proud of you! I'm sure you have progressed a lot. You've been very consistent. too bad you don't have before/after photos. That's the best way to see how far you've came. Keep up the good work!1 -
Week 1:
Day 1, 3/2: I did 2 out of your 3 sets and then 7 minutes for Abs from Strong by Zumba + 5 min Planks. Didn't have weights (the 750ml water bottles were a joke), so I increased the reps and added some exercises.
Day 2, 3/4: Found my sand weights - delighted!, time to move to the next level. However, I chose Le Sweat, 30 mins HIIT. As I had told you I bike to work and want to run at least once a week, so I need to work my upper body too... Also, working out first ging in the morning is a challenge by itself. Need to make it a little fun 😁.
Day 3, 3/6 (Sat night, old style schedule 😔): did this Barre workout (see day 5, I liked that one more):
Week 2:
Day 4, 3/9, as agreed 😉 with Tina. Tried Tina's "Intense FULL BODY STRENGTH Workout". Frankly, it was not so intense. My sand weights for arms are about 1kg each, so for most exercises I held on my ankle sand weights, too. I NEED dumbels, have I already mentioned that? 😁
Day 5, 3/10: for some reason, the alarm went off at 6. On non workout days, I wake up at 6:45. So I used the extra minutes on this: Ended it all with a 4min planks combo. Cause, yeah, another challenge I'm in 😉.
When I'll have time, I'll try her 45min workout.
Day 6,3/11: this was killing!
https://www.popsugar.co.uk/fitness/Advanced-Full-Body-HIIT-Workout-44952188
Day 7,3/12: Tina's warmup and Set 1. I dont have a rubber band, so instead of Set 2 I tried this for inner thighs 😍:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgABTW7OSXQ
I decided for this:
https://coconutsandkettlebells.com/german-body-comp/
I have also decided to go for a 7day plan with GBC above:
https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/conditioning-workout-for-women.html
Day 8, 3/15: weight lifting, Day 1 of GBC (@Tina: do these days count or just the cardio days?)
Week 3:
Day 9, 3/16, cardio in the morning, as agreed with Tina. I did this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shjOhAMEhfA
Day 10, 3/17: weight lifting, Day 2 of GBC
Day 11, 3/18: since, well, I have dumbbells (yeay!), I had to try something new:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXZy5NZB9uY
Also, I went for a run. Short and quick, about 9.6 kmh
Day 12, 3/19: weight lifting, back to Day 1 of GBC. My legs hurt (yes, I know, muscle building )
Today I also ran, short and quick, after a nice walk with my boys (including the grown up one).
Day 13, 3/21: Janette Jenkins, 30 min. Did not have time for more, unfortunatelly :-\ Yes, I have dumbbells Just had a bit of a problem adjusting the weights...
Day 14, 3/22: Day 2 of GBC
Week 4:
Day 15, 3/23: Tabata workout! (new to me)
Day 16, 3/24: Day 1 of GBC
Day 17, 3/25: 30 min cardio, but I honestly dont remember which workout 😣🤷♀️🤔. I also ran - had a lovely jog with the kids. They 🚲ed, I 🏃♀️ and we all had a 💖ly time! 🙂
Day 18, 3/26: Day 2 of GBC
Day 19, 3/27: A great run, 5.5K in 37 min. Happy 🙂. Late at night (kids in bed, yeah!) 12 Minute Full Body TABATA Workout // INTENSE with Heather Robertson + another 15 mins workout for thighs w. ankle weights
Yesterday the kids and myself had fun biking in the neighbourhood. 15°C, we had a lovely time. 🌞

(have been admiring her for long, cause the video kept poping up at the end of some workouts; actually very doable 7 minutes)

Great work, girls!
Talking of Sidney Cummings, I just started a 10 weeks challenge if you want to join me. It's mixed, full body workouts or certain muscles, strength or HIIT, stretching also. The burned calories that she mentions in the title are usually overestimated by 100 but it's fine. I do 1h anyway. :-)
