G`day family (in the words of my Aussie bro)

Got it done. No one said it had to be pretty. It was tough today. But.... max jumps in 30 secs 76, max push ups 13, max jump squats 16 (instead of lunges).Did you all get yours today?

One day last week I was able to do an AM workout. Wow, fresh legs make a difference🙂

They're killers! I love them. Did 56 total this time. 

I really like the 4 week program format. It feels very doable for me. I'm on W3 D2 and I feel like I am actually going to accomplish something and see success. Just a bit slower than most. But I'm finally good with that🙂

Plyo W3D1. That extra 30 secs is such a huge leap! Couldn't do it without a few extra breaks. Still had to modify some and did regular bounce throughout. Had to slow my pace down some and still had a hard time.🥴 Sweat is dripping. 339 calories. Feels great!

What a mess! Most people don't see me like this. Aren't ya'll lucky🙄

Just did a 23 min very slow run/walk. Don't know where that came from! Sorry. I'll be quiet now

It was truck day at work today. When I got off I already had over 13,600 steps. I was tired. I didn't wanna do the thing😠. But I did. Ply W2D4 done

My husband and I got in shape and lost weight with the help of a personal trainer about 5 or 6 years ago. He moved away and I floundered for a while even though he said I knew all I needed to know. I am finding that this second time around has been much harder to do by myself. I know what to do but I no longer have someone to be accountable to or to help motivate me. My trainer said that most people can't workout consistently by themselves and I think I understand that now. He also said if you see someone over 50 yo who looks like they take care of themselves you know they have two jobs. I'm getting that too. It has taken me a long time to get consistent again. 

Maybe I am a wimp and don't push myself hard enough but it has been a bit of a struggle for me. It has taken me a while to get consistent again. There is still room for improvement but the last two  or three months have been better. Even though it takes me longer to finish a workout I am finding out that that is ok. I am becoming more consistent by myself. I am also starting to remember what being in good shape felt like. It feels nice. 🙂 

All of this to say that even though it may look like no one struggles, we do. Or at least one of us does😉. So don't get discouraged if it takes you longer than you anticipated. If you can't do what someone else can, just do what you can do (look who's talking😏). Just do something. And watch and be proud of the improvement you make. And be patient. This is a long term plan not an instant fix. Love you guys.

Really liked this one. Liked the alternating 1/4# to 1/2# back to back. Was able to get 96 to 100 push ups (on my knees). Modified the planks to one knee down. Also modified the lunges to stationary 15 secs one side 15 secs the other side as lunges kill my knees. Good job.

That's where I lost it with the Ninja program. But I think I'm stronger this time. I powered through even though I had to stop several more times than normal. My shins don't like the single leg jumps so I did a lot of regular bounce but... I AM GOING TO DO THIS.

It's done but it wasn't pretty. It was tough today. Haven't been sleeping well lately, maybe that's why.

I usually let my heart rate get below 100 before I turn off my tracker. I'm at 112 and my calorie burn says 402. It's been a while since I've been over 400. Yay!

My daughter has been "encouraging" me for a while now to add more strength training into my fitness plan.  She says because I am getting  "older" 🤨 I need to be doing some weights to keep from losing muscle. I do this 2 days a week to fill in the gaps between jumping days but, she wants me to do more of that than jumping. I think jumping will actually do this for me. Am I right?
