First day of week 2 of SN. Lots of 2-minute freestyle sets interspersed with push-ups. Kicked my butt and was pretty humbling tbh. But I just kept saying, “It’s supposed to be hard, it’s supposed to be hard…” which helps me. Smiling in the photo bc I wuz doooooone. ❤️❤️😎😎✌🏻✌🏻

I had previously gotten through half of shredded ninja and then stopped it and went back to the WODs. Not sure why but I’m enjoying having started it again. And I forgot how freaking hard it is lol! Bring it! ❤️💪🫶✌🏻

...I did the first two days of Shredded Ninja today and yesterday. Achilles feels okay. If I try to do any moves with single-leg jumps, I notice it, so I'm sticking to regular bounce and boxer skip. But today's tabata-style workout had a ton of DUs and they were totally fine. So...cautiously moving forward? I feel like there is a dad joke to be made here about jumping forward or something. Lucky for all of you, I'm not a dad, so we are all spared haha. Have a great day, everyone!

I don't know the answer to your question about future plans obviously, but I would suggest going back in the app and re-doing a month you liked better. You should have access to every WOD month workout in the app. I often go revisit old workouts that I like if the current ones aren't something for me. But we'll see what the WODs look like for August!

Agree with what everyone has said here. Just keep at it! A game-changer for me was keeping my arms in form--elbows staying in and not letting my forearms and hands come up, keeping that tight and in place, if that makes sense. It took me forever to get consecutive ones, but once I did, it was this move that has helped turbo-boost my cardio fitness, for sure. You'll get it!

Not sure my story would be dramatic enough for you but I’d love to share it to see if it fits the bill. I certainly have found JRD workouts life-changing and have overcome some big hurdles!
