I’m trying to decide if I want to swap out the cardio for running (I’ve got 4 miles tomorrow which is light for me) or if I want to add it on to work different areas. Thoughts from those who have done the more recent challenges? I did 6.0 last winter to reestablish a base level of fitness so I could get back to running. Towards the end of 6.0 I started doing runs in the morning and the BBM cardio in the evening. After 6.0 I did her maintenance series and the couples series and I either subbed the cardio for runs or did both depending on the runs and my schedule. It sounds like you're much more of a runner than I am- I was trying to work my way UP to 4-5 mile runs. I think you could totally sub and/or double up. I kept runs on the cardio days because I liked separating strength and cardio.

I have the workbook this time around thanks to clairefraser and am starting the ab series tomorrow. I'm getting extra strength workouts in every day by shoveling a fuckton of snow. Should be fully ripped by March.

I woke up at 4:45 this morning to do day 1. I don't count reps, I'm too busy trying not to die.

Day one plus abs complete! Push-ups and plank up downs are going to kill me. I'm listing the number of reps for my first attempt that was interrupted too.
Prisoner speed squats: 35/37 Modified Push-ups: 15/14 Mtn climbers: 115/100 Alt lunges: 19 Jump squats: 22 High knees: 105 Bridge tricep dips: 26 Plank up downs: 7 kinda What the fuck is up with these things anyway? I may just do planks.

I also bought the Workbook and printed the week 1 worksheets. I like how the exercises are listed with a place to record reps for each round. I think that will help me push harder on each workout rather than just getting it done.

I was going to start today and then unexpectedly had to work late. It’s 8:30 and I’m about to go to bed. Maybe I can get up early enough to do the fit test in the morning before work. If not I’m going to double up tomorrow evening.

I did the fit test and found some random abs video. Also did day 1 of yoga with Adriene.
I'll have to take my measurements tomorrow.

Now I'm resisting the urge to compare my numbers to others in the thread. 😳 I do this every time.

@rocknroll I started weight watchers for nutrition. I’m doing the online only version but they have meetings where DS goes to preK if you want something in person. The noom thread overwhelms me somehow I just went ahead and busted into the Noom thread. 😄 It’s not so bad.

Hi guys! I’m new!
Did day 1 of 7.0 today and it was my first BBM workout. I’m excited to commit to this and work to get some strength and endurance going. I’m a very casual runner (like once a month at this point) and hoping getting stronger will motivate me to fit running into my schedule more often.
Glad to hear the general consensus is that we don’t love Brianne. I’ll be sure to have my music set up for day 2 tomorrow!

Fit test done yesterday and day 2 today. I recruited a girl at work and a friend who did 3.0 with me. I'm hoping this helps me get through it

Day 2 done. Woof. I am so sweaty.
I'm supposed to do the ab series today, but running out of time since DDs bus was late and I have an early meeting. I will really try to do it tonight.

I need to take measurements today. I just remembered I was mad I didn’t do that last time. Not looking forward to writing those numbers down.

I was really sad about my measurements when I did it on the first....BUT, I know I will be happy when I start seeing progress in that area. I tend to see difference in inches before I see a difference on the scale.

I was really sore from day 1 when I woke up this morning, but day 2 is now done and I feel better already.

Thoughts from those who have done the more recent challenges? I found her cardio workouts annoying but effective...and also combined running with BBM 5.0 that I recently finished. I do think integrating them in with my fitness routine made me a stronger runner overall. I would say swap it out when you have a really long run, but on your lighter run days, go ahead and combine.

I had planned on starting 7.0 on 1/2, but had a little too much fun on 1/1 and decided to sleep in instead. Woke up this morning and did the fit test. Fuck those plank up downs right after the tricep dips. My core felt strong, but my arms were completely failing. I hope I see some major gains in arm strength this round. Scores: Prisoner speed squats: 35 Push ups: 16 Mountain climbers: 114 Alt lunges: 20 Jump squats: 24 High knees: 123 Bridge trip dips: 24 Plank up downs: 5 I wanted to get a little more activity in and usually run...but it was 16 degrees and icy, so I pushed on through day 2 as well. Feeling all caught up to where I wanted to be I plan on doing weighing and measuring this weekend when I have a little more time flexibility. I am dreading seeing the damage that the holidays brought on, but I really want to be able to see progress and track it accurately this time.

Day 2 complete. So much jumping. This was how I learned my current workout pants are too big on me. 🙌

I lost track of time yesterday while working on MIL's memorial slideshow, so I did Day 2 this morning and will try to do Day 3 this afternoon to stay on track.

This was how I learned my current workout pants are too big on me. 🙌 OK, so early FFC, I use my old way too big granny panties to workout because they inevitably get sweat stained and I don't want my regular underwear doing that. One day while I was running, the shorts I was wearing were a LITTLE too big, enough so that the panties completely slid down off into the shorts. It was very awkward trying to pull underwear up WITHIN shorts while running. YUP. I lost my underwear while doing the Irish Jig move and that was really hard to recover while trying to count my reps.

I already like tracking better than just doing it and not paying attention to how many reps I get. I hardly ever counted anything during 5.0 and I feel like I did a lot better on the cardio today just by focusing on counting and not how much I didn't want to jump around anymore.

I want to do this because I liked 5.0 when I did it but with after work things I don't know when I will fit it in

Add me to the commando club for workouts.
Sore from doing day 1 yesterday but just knocked day 2 out. I was really hoping to go for a run but the baby ended up staying home from daycare sick.
I did measurements last night for the first time in my life and I’m excited to see them change. I’ve been down a LOT of weight loss/fitness journeys in the last 10 years and am always mad at myself for skipping initial measurements. Here’s hoping it will add some extra motivation!

I want to do this because I liked 5.0 when I did it but with after work things I don't know when I will fit it in It took me probably an extra month and I still haven’t finished 5.0. I think I am I workout 87. I say don’t worry about “keeping up” and just do it whenever you can. I was never in the same place as anyone in this thread but still found it so helpful to check in here and keep myself on track.
