Tomorrow Super Cut's last day... I don’t remember the last time I had such a hard time choosing my next program, so many programs, so little time The challenge is that I want to stick with one, even though I’ll be spending more time outside (walking or biking). So I’m looking for relatively short (30min) workouts in the program. I’ll probably stick to one program, maybe two if I combine strength and HIIT and rotate them every other day. No running for me
I’m planning to redo Age of Pandora in autumn or winter, but what for now?

I’ve been looking at HIIT programs since they’re short and intense:
Extreme HIIT sounds good since there’s no rep counting, 30 Days of Cardio Hard is calling to me as well as High Gear.

However, I’m also dreaming about a strength program, especially Bootcamp, Hard Reset Strength and Soma+ but they all use dumbbells. Has anyone tried doing them with resistance bands?

Is Spartan Trials or the The House of the Valkyrie only, or best, compromise?

 

[Encina]

Has anyone tried doing them with resistance bands?

First of all, congrats!

I think that if your bands are long enough, you can perfectly do the exercises with bands instead of dumbbells. However, for exercises like lunges or renegade rows where you have to alternate your legs or arms, you'll have to do half of the reps with one side first and then switch to the other.

Congratulations!

The weather’s been surprisingly nice, so I’ve been trying to get some walks after work whenever I can.

Thank you @LiteraryMatcha , I feel honored . I decide to start the House of the Valkyrie too... as the next stage. It can be a continuation of the same path: from the strength and awareness of Athena, through the courage and agency of the Valkyries.
One day, a little old (Baba) Jaga will hold within her many hidden strengths, great superpowers and experiences... and she will be hard to kill

The House of the Valkyrie: day 1, lv III

Walk: 13,7 km (10,1 plus 3,6)

 

[LiteraryMatcha]

One day, a little old (Baba) Jaga will hold within her many hidden strengths, great superpowers and experiences... and she will be hard to kill

That sounds like a boss from a videogame. Fantastic aspiration, honestly. Multiclassing as ancient greek Goddess and as a Valkyrie is straight up badass.
And really, well done. I have huge admiration for all of you when I see your workouts.
It's very inspiring. Have a good one!

 

[Jaga]

@LiteraryMatcha Really appreciate that, thank you!
And yeah, that's exactly how I feel this this community works — we inspire each other. And it's so beautiful.

Today my head’s still kinda stuck on tomorrow’s "job" interview. I’m on a permanent contract, but in one of the roles I do they’re cutting positions, so there’s like official interviews for a coordinator role. I really like this job, especially the variety it gives, but lately some stuff’s been going on that I’m not totally happy with… So keep your fingers crossed, or don’t, I’ll take whatever comes, everything’s got two sides I, now I know it for sure. Tho I gotta admit I’m a bit nervus

Fingers crossed
