Red Squirrel Nov 2016 7:51pm, 15 Nov 2016 19,480 posts	Quote Pin Red Squirrel Day 8 done. Those split squats are a killer for my piriformises! I'vve been working so hard and have cancelled my gym membership. I can really feel it. Back to yoga next Monday and can't wait.
alpenrose Nov 2016 8:50am, 16 Nov 2016 22,003 posts	Quote Pin alpenrose Day 12 done. I hate those dead lifts and find that doing them in the kitchen with the worktops to steady myself makes it more do-able. I hope the next stage is better.

I MUST do more of these sort of exercises at home, now I can't afford a gym membership. I used to be a squat/lunging enthusiast. I'm also good on abs historically - need to get on those again!
alpenrose Nov 2016 8:12pm, 17 Nov 2016 22,059 posts	Quote Pin alpenrose So, I started the next stage, day 13 earlier. I have decided to give up as I am losing the will to live with it. It's too long-winded for me and I'm not really feeling any benefit from it after 2 weeks. I much preferred George's Plankathon and in only 2 weeks of a maximum of 5 minutes a day you could really feel a difference by the end.

But now I am back, I've got a cold, so might leave it a few more days. Where is the link, - is it alongside or somewhere back in the mists of time?

Red Squirrel Nov 2016 12:08pm, 18 Nov 2016 19,486 posts	Quote Pin Red Squirrel I will finish, but my ITB band is quite sore on the other side now! What a crock! I like Alpen's suggestion on the plankathon. Does anyone fancy starting a combination of plankathon with maybe a press-upathon and then something to even up at the back?
