Hello bees !
I don't really know how to start this new thread after so many years with the last one...
I especially like combat moves and I have enjoyed sharing roleplay programs with friends , and hope I'll have the opportunity to do this again !
I'm 50, willing to share again with you my journey.
As always, feel free to read, comment, share some experiences with me, I'm opened to all new collaborations and discussions.

I'm currently doing Power Up, to prepare my tendons for a combat program, and today was D10 :

Things are starting to get tough !

 

[Sevalys]

Last minute was hard but I managed too keep arms up all the way !
I dread the side bridges of tomorrow... I don't know why but I can't do them as well as in the past and my elbows ache each time.

 

[Redline]

Don't hesitate to add whatever extra cushioning you can get under your arms when doing side bridges. They'll hurt less and be just as effective, or even more.

 

[Sevalys]

Hello friends
I postponed some days of the program, strangely the ones I dread
I wasn't inactive one those days though (walk and work).
As I thought, bridges were catastrophic , even with a cushion, as well as the push-up hold of D14. For those who don't know yet, I have strange elbows that prevent me to do proper push-ups, so I do them as I can.

Yesterday was D15, a much more easier D15 than the ones on some previous programs ! Did you notice they often are super hard ?

 

[Sevalys]

Hi friends

As you probably noticed, I'm not very active here.
Life got in the way and I had to stop Power up.
Nothing severe, but an accumulation of work (pro and perso) and too much pression on tendons.

I'm currently installing new plumbing and redevelop kitchen and bathroom and it is my priority.

I plan to take part in Haunted Hive though !

Have a nice day !

Happy new year!

Today I'm starting 30 Days More of Yoga with @lpf and you can follow us on his thread if you like !

Sharing a yoga and meditation program with a friend may exactly be what I need at the moment.
My mother has been in a coma for 2 weeks, she's dying. At least she is dreaming and I hope she's having the best dreams of her life.

 

[PetiteSheWolf]

Sorry to hear about your mom, @Sevalys , hugs and prayers for you, your mom and your family in those weeks.

30 days more of Yoga is coming to an end...
I plan to do Shadebound after that, anyone to share the program with me ?

 

[Sevalys]

I found someone on FB willing to try the program with me...
That's cool because I lack motivation doing this alone and have postponed starting it...

Hopefully today is the day !

 

[Sevalys]

There is still time if you want to jump in the train !
I have done 3 days but I have to wait for my partner on FB because he hurt himself ( not doing a workout) so you may have time to do the first days before we continue.
First day I did L1 and was too tired for the push-up challenge.
Second day was hard with plank walk-outs... so L1, but high knees challenge done.
Third day was soooo fun !

I think I definitely prefer combat moves
I reviewed Punching Guide and enjoyed the first 3 sets, done the Squat Hold challenge before being too tired, and added 2 sets for a L2 because I wanted more fun !
I know will search some katana or bow workouts to wait for FB friend (and maybe you ?) and I will have time to review the Kicks Guide for the next day of the program.

@Gafi ?
@lpf ?
Any bee ?

Hi!
I did day 3 of the program shadebound today, I don't know where you're at now?
I'm new so I'll be taking it easy (level I for me) but my challenge is to show up every day for the 30 days if you like we can cheer each other?

@Tileenah
You are most welcome here !
We are at D5 (in fact my FB friend did not pause the program), but it is not a problem, you'll have a sneak peek of your next days
Don't hesitate to post your report here every day !
Did you enjoy the punches as I did?
D4 was kicks , which I enjoy a lot too. I did L1 + challenge.
D5 is all relaxation, that was nice after a stressful day.

 

[Tileenah]

I had to ask my husband how to do the punches because I have no knowledge whatsoever in fighting moves
But it was easier for me than the first two days (those pushups and planks are hard on me, even on L1...) I think I could have gone L2 for the number of reps today though

 

[Sevalys]

@Tileenah you can review Punching Guide here, and Kicks guide here. You can also find the Video Exercise Library here. Hope it helps !
I also had trouble with the plank walk-outs and push-ups (my elbows prevent me from doing proper push-ups) !

Yes I looked at them but I still wasn't sure I did them properly
Sorry about your elbows it's never easy working out with a pain somewhere (sorry if my words are wrong I'm french so maybe my sentences are weird sometimes)

 

[Sevalys]

Don't worry for your English, it is good and as long as we understand each other...
My elbows don't ache, but they do not bend as they should, so I can not lower enough, there is a point where they block and either I have to go back up or fall on the floor... not really practical

Oh, yes I can imagine

I have completed day 4 of the shadebound rpg and am officially lying on the floor for the rest of the day! Kidding of course... Or am I?
I did it at level2 think

 

[Tileenah]

Oops sent without finishing... I was saying I thought it would be okay since it's legwork and I walk and bike everyday... Shows how much I know about fighting... Seems like kicking has nothing to do with walking and I really have to build core strength.
Still proud of myself though

 

[Sevalys]

D6 : L1 only + challenge. I don't like lunges

Good job keeping at it
I did day 5 today, resting is sweet

 

[Sevalys]

I will do D7 only today because Wednesday my FB Friend forgot to train and yesterday it was I who was tired.
How was your D6 @Tileenah ?

 

[Sevalys]

D7 at level one.
I HATE Jumpings Jacks. I did them slowly... ridiculous slow jumps

It was okay for me thanks. Did it at L2 without much trouble (carrying my toddler on my back a lot must have helped somehow). It confirms my suspicions that my legs are kinda strong enough, but not my core or arms... I peeked at D6 and I think tomorrow is going to be quite the challenge for me with those pushups

Congrats on pushing through those JJ
