Cool Getting Buff! June 2022 Challenge To Keep Moving Weeks 22-26

If you're trying to increase lean muscle mass, lower body fat through strength training, and tone up, this is the check-in for you! We're a small, friendly group doing a wide variety of workouts: weights, kettlebells, barre, pilates, yoga, running. We don't tend to be chatty, but if more people join and it becomes chatty, that's fine, too.

Some list our workouts and the number of minutes worked out accumulating the minutes toward a year end goal while others post workouts when they find time.

Everyone welcome.

I've finished my two weeks of Daniel PT, and I can say 4 HIITS plus one lower body each of the two weeks was tough. I am excited for Caroline G FUEL Series. I am doing them one week late, so I can do them on the days I want. I prefer my rest days Wed and Sun, not Thur and Sat. To celebrate the new series, I got a set of fabric loops for the hip thrusts and a 50 lb kettlebell. The next time I see Vannie, she won't recognize me as I'll be so buff.

Impressive Sandy. I am obviously not the buff one in the group! How high did your weights go before the 50lber?

40 lb, but to be honest, I mainly got the 50 for my son, but I will use it on any leg exercise that makes sense. The fabric band purchase was also due to his leg hair getting pulled with my non fabric loop bands.

Realised during this past week, that just walking up into the gym lifts my mood as I climb the stairs, then a gentle smile forms on my face when I hit the top.

Noticing that, I've gone up there to have my morning coffee before work - has been effective on getting me back up there & pulling my out of my "DH is away" schlump. Also the restart pressure too!!

Home from work, take Alice to the park before it's too dark to throw a ball, think about the workout on the way home - hit the gym before I get all cosy with the heater, shower, THEN cosy with the heater, snuggly-clean-tired. It's working.

Have had to resort to fabric loops myself a few times - the centre bar on handweights seems to be larger for larger weights & my hands are small.
I can't afford those with uniform sized stainless-steel grips. Mine are pretty colours though.
50lb is a hefty kettlebell!
