Glad to hear about the flu being over. Soreness often means healing, so that could be good news, as well.

I don't know what to do next. I'm hesitating between starting Power HIIT again with slightly heavier dumbbells, or Express Tone, or even Soma 40+ (but I'm way beyond menopause). What do you think ?

 

[CODawn]

Congratulations!

 

[JCU]

Congratulations!

 

[aku-chan]

Soma 40+ is a fun program, I really enjoyed doing it even though I'm not in the target audience.

 

[Fremen]

Congrats

Happy Badges!

Happy Badge Day!

or Express Tone, or even Soma 40+ (but I'm way beyond menopause). What do you think ?

I really enjoyed both of these (and i am also well past menopause); i hope to repeat each at some point.
Perhaps i should try Power HIIT?

 

[Louve Rose]

Perhaps i should try Power HIIT?

I loved it ! Short (13' per day) but efficient.

Very first thing in the day, done in bed : 200 lying punches. I've been doing them for about a month now, and found them quite by accident. One morning, I was lying in bed, my brain wide awake but my body still asleep. I absolutely had to get up, and I didn't know how I could move. I really like punches, so why not start with that, without forcing it. So, I began to punch, still lying in my bed. And... er... it seemed that my triceps were working harder than in the standing punches? And today I found the little video, and voilà, I had the good feel for the muscles that work, and I found a very lazy way to strengthen my triceps.

No breakfast, first thing when out of bed : 1' squat hold punches + 50 squat hold calf raises
Before lunch : Walking : 2 km in 30 min, D+ 82 m (66 m for the first 750 meters, with stairs), 1 hour rest, and back in 25'.

Everest Challenge : 60 climbers and 250 climbers, alternately. The real challenge is too difficult for me.

 

[Mianevem]

Everest allows you to split the total number into manageable sets, and even to spread them throughout the day.

I'll change the Everest Challenge for the Cardio and Core Challenge : day 1. It's still a challenge with a decent number of climbers, but it's easier.
