I just fast forwarded through the sitting. I think she sits too long at the beginning often so I skip to the movements. I guess that time is supposed to be the claiming meditation, but I agree with you Krista, it just makes me stabby!
Yesterday was the day I skipped that. I'm hoping to do it tomorrow. Today my abs were owie up top from doubling up yesterday, so I figured I should do the easier one with all the smooches.
good ab workout today
Sounds like a good one GB. Well done.
You can do it Otis. 2 days without drinking is doable.
We can definitely do 220 by Halloween. Should be a bit below that by then. Man that would feel good!

Definitely better than yesterday's. I liked all the balance poses near the end because I'm a lot better at them than I once was!
I like being aggressive, but anything over 1 lb / week is setting myself up for failure, especially around the holidays. I will hit 220 (hopefully by Halloween) and go from there.Otis said:
man! aging sux0rs. 
had to shut it down fri and sat. foot still hurts, but is manageable.
i'm pretty sure, this is a record heat for us. 108. it was 96, in laguna, at the beach. that's rare.Judge Smails said:
Just finished the difficult one, which was...not difficult? I definitely sweated, but nothing ever seemed hard, unless you count that I fell off balance on the left leg "dancer" pose. Are you guys able to do those with no problem? I liked this one a lot a lot; moar like that, please.krista4 said:
Dude I think you have earned all of our respect doing this the right way, slow and steady like your name suggests. Keep up the good work.
It wasn't that the poses were difficult, it was just the most I've sweated during an Adriene video, and those leg squats were tough. I think I messed up my knee doing it, because I didn't really do anything else unusual this weekend. I did get a good run in today and didn't tweak it but I am being cautious the rest of the way.
it was hard as a whole. i am really working on each pose and pushing myself to my limits. flexibility and my knees are an issue. they make some poses hard. stupid cow legs, for example. i am really focused on core strength and attempt to only use legs and core on all the standing bendy poses. that humble warrior, with your hands clasped behind, is very hard. i'm really focussing on getting my front leg, parallel to the ground.
at the bold.
I'm in agreement on no jumping jacks. I wish I'd known those were coming, as I would have worn a better bra. :(it was hard as a whole. i am really working on each pose and pushing myself to my limits. flexibility and my knees are an issue. they make some poses hard. stupid cow legs, for example. i am really focused on core strength and attempt to only use legs and core on all the standing bendy poses. that humble warrior, with your hands clasped behind, is very hard. i'm really focussing on getting my front leg, parallel to the ground.
but i agree, more like that one. no jumping jacks though.
@bostonfred is a savior. Just look at Otis's transformation. This thread has become inspirational for me. At 42, I'm in better shape than I've ever been in my life.another shout out to @bostonfred!! and to the rest of y'all as well. wasn't feeling it today. but, read the thread, and was inspired.
i hurt my foot doing those stupid jumping jacks on thursday
i did today's yoga. easy. so i added some boat and this quick session i'm thinking that something like this, everyday, might make a big difference. i only focus on abs, maybe once every 10 days.
i also did that pushup series 29, 33, 29, 29, 40. not too shabby. i took 3 minutes between each set, knocked them all out. keep posting these, if you don't mind.
Who cares about a few occasional desserts? You’ve earned it. The fact that you’ve managed to stay off the booze is very, very impressive. I wish I had your will power TBH.
It was 121 today somewhere in LA, which is a record for all of LA ... if I understood the blurb I saw correctly.
Fantastic post. I was worried about you, Oats, for taking on too much at a time: no booze, mostly vegetarian, all the various workouts. I think it's great for you to find a little balance. You had some dessert, but you stuck with the no booze and otherwise ate well. You've been rocking the workouts. It's really OK to let yourself enjoy something now and then. +1 to being totally impressed with what you've been doing.
Giddyup. As a former 30 year old myself I feel qualified* to say that you'll be glad you did. I have had my best success tracking calories in the myfitnesspal app and cutting alcohol way back but everyone is different. If you're comfortable sharing your experiences in here, we've all picked things up from each other and the more the better. No better time for self improvement than when you're already having your day to day life impacted by this pandemic.
I’ll echo what these other dudes said. I wish I started taking this stuff seriously at 30. You’re primed and ready for it. Git er done!
I’ve never really lifted before. Where should I start? (Ie I plan 3X days cardio, 2X lifting)
Glad to have your join our little group. Start with simple good habits and then add more as you get comfortable. Also set small, realistic weight loss goals.
Just don’t make this a habit. You committed to this with Fred. I’m more afraid of disappointing Fred than anything else lol.
Good one today!

I somehow got in 14,000 steps and didn't leave my house today. We did have our next door neighbors over for a BBQ and I jumped on the trampoline with my 4 year old (along with an hour long body combat in the morning) but that usually doesn't get me anywhere close to 10,000 steps.Yoga

I bbq’d for the family and really wanted a beer, but since I knew Otis wasn’t drinking stuck with iced tea. I didn’t want anyone to think I couldn’t make it 3 days without a drink.
