Betty, Beach body has a free 30 day trial for their on-demand program at the moment. That should give you a chance to check them both out

@Djproulx and @MiamiSeoul I joined the 30 day plank challenge on MFP (on day 20 starting at 2min) and it got real quickly :) . This was my first 4min ever and in another 3 days I am supposed to max out at 5min, which sounds incredible far away at the moment :/ . It is surprising how much my quads seem engaged on the long…

@Serenade_N Nice work @alipsie19 The 30 sec jumps are getting extreme. Flying tomorrow so will try to get my next 4min later today.

2/3 of AOS Providence and a 4min plank today.

4min. 5min seems really far away.

Nice work. Can not believe you are going to go for 4 today.

Day 25 3:30.

Day 24 3:30. Wow just wow

Day 23 3min hold. The last minute seems to go slower for some reason ;)

A half hearted mix of heavy weights while watching "the crash reel" on Netflix :) Up to 3min on planks

Day 21 -2:30 Day 22 -3:00

Makes sense. I should have started at day 24 I guess.....oh well. First day in and four days behind already. :)

Ok so what day are you on? I thought today was day 20? I guess I am going to have to catch up a few days in a single day (tomorrow :) )

Ok very late to the game but am joining in on day 20 (I am not catching up on the missed days :) ). 2 min 30 sec done. You could have sewn a jacket if you had attached a needle and thread to me with how much I was shaking at the end.

Kettlebell - Art of Strength - Providence or Newport

AOS Newport done.

I take the kids gummy vitamins :) which have B6 and B12 (not sure if those are the ones you mean or others like folate and niacin?). Sleep is consistent, same with stress. I honestly think I have it in my head that it is the lack of BCAAs (although I know you get BCAAs in proteins and lentils- which I eat lots of so I…

Thanks @Djproulx Realistically I cant see my issue being overtraining. I am pretty set with 3 kettlebells workouts a week and try for one moderate length ride (with three kids that need constant chauffeuring time is always tight) that rarely exceeds 2.5hrs. I am just tired (muscle weary) I think I have convinced my mind…

Wow. That sure beats my 160min of watching kids play soccer in the rain :) AOS Providence done. Question for the group. I have been taking BCAAs a bit before workouts and ran out a couple of weeks ago. I have found the workouts tougher since but can't help thinking its in my head. Does anyone else take BCAAs and if so do…

AOS Providence done. @BettyM1017. How did you like Core Syn? WRT crossfit I did a couple of sessions with a couple of boxes and I think it comes down to the instructor. Some treat every session as a competition and you can see form breaking down badly which is a great way to get hurt. Others look to develop you in both…

AOS Providence done

@BettyM1017 Core Synergistics is good. It has been a while since I have done many of the P90X workouts but this one is nice and steady. Not particularly strenuous, compared to others as I recall, but not as easy as KenpoX. More pushups than I remembered though....:)

P90X Core Synergystics. Cold is finally on the way out!

35k bike and an hour in thw pool with the kids. I ..am....tuckered

7/8s of AOS Newport done. My cold has developed a nice cough over the last 2 days :'( . Hope everyone has a good Remembrance Day. To everyone in the services - Thank you

AOS Providence Done - still have a cold :'(

Happy Election Day to those in the US. Make sure to vote.

@BettyM1017 Just a note that his humor is based in large part of mocking (particularly Tony and himself but mostly Tony) and sarcastic. Best to start at day 1.

@BettyM1017 This quote reminded me of the FitBomb review of P90X. He blogged everyday about the workouts and did some deep dives into the people with Tony in the background in a very funny way. When I did P90X I read along day for day to keep me motivated. The reason I bring this up is he has some hilarious rants on Welsey…

Thanks for all the well wishes on this @!$# cold. Decided to compound it with the flu shot yesterday. Regardless went for a bike today (yeah sudafed). 50km but not super fast and only a bit of rain :) 28 days of rain in October; the perils of living in a rain forest. Hopefully it will be snow on the mountains by the end of…
