What are your JUNE 2020 workout plans?
 

Not to toot my own horn, lol, but my April thread was super helpful in keeping me consistent. I'm not necessarily going to do another thread like that, but I was wondering what everyone is doing for JUNE?

I think I'm going to do 3 days toning each week. Something like:
Monday - KCM (either Cardio Pump or Strong & Lean) - heavier weights
Wednesday - floorwork lower body, light-med upper body weights
Friday - Bar Method (Fat Free or Designer Sculpting, which I just got and am excited about!!))

In between will be stretch days or walks. This is basically a way to do everything I want with some small modicum of structure. :D

What are you doing?

I think I’m the only person who never has a plan. I just alternate strength and cardio days and do something every day. I do cardio on my strength days, too, to make sure I get my 10,000 steps.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday are total body weight or circuit workout. Tuesday, Sat. and Sunday are cardio. Thurs. is a short walk. When mood or body don't go along with my plan I always do a walk. I need to remember though that my mood or body will feel better if I give more effort.

I'm the opposite! I start out with a plan, then end up Joni-Oing half of the workouts I planned on and end up doing other things :o

I want to try a mostly Ilaria rotation, but I've said that before and then got distracted by something else. We'll see!

I may try four weeks of The Prep on BBOD. I tried the Cardio & Core workout, & the sample workout, and liked both of them.

Well, I guess you're what I'd aspire to be! Someone who doesn't need the motivation of a fancy-schmancy rotation! ;)

I do enjoy making the rotations more than doing them, lol. (But I'm a planner, list-maker anyway.) I usually just end up winging things.

I always start with a plan, but my exercise ADD always kicks in. Right now my plan is Pilates for June. We'll see how long this lasts.

;)

I always do a CS every morning when I get up and a few minutes of either Lee Holden or Mim Kuo Deemer qi gong

Then I ride my bike or walk outside or inclement weather ride my exercise bike or do a walkingonline walking workout.

I call my bike ride and walking my "happy hour":)

I do have some backup CS, yoga and stretch dvds if the streaming is wonky.

I like the planning as well ;)

Since Covid I’ve been consistent with my exercise. Yay me! I just finished a 6 week Jessica Smith rotation and loved filling in the little circles that said “did it” everyday. Haha!

So now I’m off to start another 6 week rotation. So strange, because Jessica always bugged me a little bit, but I’m finding them very enjoyable!
Thanks

I'm doing the KBKB Summer Strong 8 week rotation. Dasha usually does a summer rotation and I tend to follow this every year. This year she's added in some of her Instagram workouts which makes it a bit fresh, and she also has some live workouts on her platform. I always get good results when I do this - leaning out a bit and increasing my stamina considerably.

For me the problem with planning ahead is that when it’s time to actually do the workout I’m usually not in the mood for that one and want to do something different.

That is me! I pick out a bunch of different dance workouts for the week and pick one that fits my mood for the day. I mainly use the you tube channel Yoga Upload and I have plenty of favorites. I do need to get back to strength training soon.

Getting back nice and easy after an exercise hiatus...
Doing Lauren Brooks 21 day KB challenge to get back into the swing! :p

I'm going to keep up with my RIPT90 Fit/ RIPT 90 rotation, probably taking a week long yoga break every 30 days. The rotation is 90 days.

I’ve been doing full body Margaret Richard at least two times per week since February and I’m going to try to continue that at least and perhaps work towards adding a third session more consistently.

I’ve also been working to do more cardio, mostly step and I’m working on learning one new workout (Steve Sansoucie) and doing one harder workout (Cathe Power Max). I’d like to be able to do these two in full.

Then lastly, I’m trying to up my monthly workouts. I’m completing about 17-18 per month (and proud of it!) but I’d like to see that number go up in June.

I am a restarter after having a serious illness, so I began in May doing Pilates three times a week because I enjoy it, and it's mostly done on the floor. Towards the end of the month I began to incorporate weight workouts.

I want to keep my weight workouts in the 10 to 12 rep range because I really need to build muscle at this stage. I haven't found any dvd workouts that are total body and use that rep range so I've been working out on my own.

I plan to continue both types of workouts in June, and gradually add in cardio depending on how my body feels.

I only have a few Ilaria's, but they are tough! You're more advanced than I am as even doing 2 days of Ilaria back to back would wipe me out!

I rarely plan out a rotation...I just do what sounds good that day and try to alternate my weights and cardio. If I feel like taking a rest day, I take a rest day. But I do walk my dogs every day so I at least have some consistency! :p

I like the look of Jessica’s Summer of Strength rotation ( even though it is winter here in Australia!).

I may (or may not) do that. Decisions.

I'm usually a non-planner too.

I'll probably do quite a few Les Mills workouts, my new shiny object. I'm going to work in more frequent yoga, since I've been going to Mobility workouts on my low energy days for too long, and I'm losing the unique type of flexibility that comes with consistent yoga.

Hi Alison, glad you've been so motivated! I'm continuing my old-school Jeanette Jenkins rotation 3-4 days a week, balanced with lower intensity workouts of choice (Ellen, Jessica, etc) around twice a week. I have to keep all exercise low impact and as much off the floor as possible. These have been working great for me. :)

I stopped doing Firm workouts by early May; their datedness and equipment fiddliness just started really annoying me, lol. I switched to Jeanette's old stuff (Hollywood Trainer and 21 Day sets) and have really been enjoying them and how I feel.

Have fun reaching your fitness goals!

I’m doing this too. I’ve been doing her free live workouts on most Saturdays. She has really matured in her technique and I like the addition of the Ju Jitsu/MMA stuff. However, I signed up for her free 30 day access to her website. I’m not sure what to do when that runs out as the rotation will only be half over.

Last year she did this rotation through emails but with the live workouts included and other digital workouts I think this rotation is an improvement over last year. I’m opposed to streaming in general preferring DVDs or downloads that I own but I might have to cough up $15 for a few months to check out her Live workouts and the Glute program.

I’m also finishing the last month of Lauren’s BeSlam 2 so I’m incorporating those in. Being paper workouts, the amount of effort needed with them largely depends on how fast I push myself through each workout. They’re mostly strength based. If I end up overtrained, I’ll just pause BeSlam.

As in every month for the past five years, I'm doing Tonda's (MoFirmer on this board) monthly rotation. 6 days a week, FIRM and BeMax workouts. I finally realized back in December 2006 that I am only consistent if I follow a rotation created by someone else. So back then it was the rotations on the FIRM Club website and then when Gaiam began shutting it down in 2015, Tonda took over the rotations and saved me from the couch. :)

I just started Jessica's Summer of Strength. It works with my schedule b/c right now, my yoga teacher is livestreaming classes on Tues/Thurs morning, and those are stretch days on the rotation. So I'll do the classes instead of Jessica's stretches.

I spent about 3-4 months doing Stephanie Huckabee workouts. Now I’m doing Suzanne Bowen workouts for a change and loving them. I keep seeing ads for Xtend Barre streaming on Facebook and I’m intrigued. Decisions! Part of my hesitation is I really want to “own” the workouts, rather than stream them.

I'm streaming Montana method and Romney studios right nkw, mixing them and getting great results.. And having fun!

Jane P - glad to see you posting - and working out again.

I'm still mainly following a template that includes 3 or so cardio workouts a week, a lower body day, an upper body, and some fusion. I'm mainly using Jenny Ford for step cardio and for floor cardio Jessica or Jenny or Leslie. For my strength workouts I'm mainly doing Jessica Valent Pilates or Trifecta Pilates. I'm mixing in some Ellen Barrett, too, and this month some Classical Stretch.

I like the concept of Jessica's Summer of Strength, but I would like to add more cardio in - b/c now that it is getting hotter and more humid outside my dog walks are being shortened.

I suppose I could add cardio in on the 2 days off of Jessica's rotation and also add on to the stretch days.....

Donna

Carol K you made me laugh. I have to say that hearing about rotations being available on Facebook ALMOST makes me want to get a Facebook page. (That and VF roost) I'd love to have a more recent rotation for using my Firm workouts. Trying to come up with a rotation of them on my own is a little overwhelming. I'm not sure why.

JeepgirlThose ads are very enticing... despite the fact that I know Andrea talks too fast for me, lol.

I do a loose rotation every two weeks. This time it's Jari or Traci for strength, Cathe cardio and generous use of foam rolling and mobility exercise days. I am listening to my mind/ body and have alternate workouts like CS or yoga when it says "not today!" to my rotation. :D
I do have to choose a current pile or I will flounder.

It's interesting lately that my body may not be injured or sore but my mind needs my exercise to soothe.

Hmm...I went back to Jessica's site and re-reviewed Summer of Strength and Calm & Strong. Both look good to me....so, if I decide I need more focus than what I have been doing - I may do one of those rotations. I may use the DVD option for Round 1 and then do the You Tube Version in Round 2.

decisions, decisions....

Donna

I always failed miserably at making my own rotations. Usually didn't stick with it for more than a week.

Carol K at least you came up with one, lol. I also think what holds me back is not knowing the workouts well enough to know what works best with each. The workouts I do use I'm able to come with ways to use based on different rotations..even if I don't know the workout well enough myself.

Donna nice to have options :-) Doesn't sound like you can go wrong either way :sun:

Tell me about Montana Method!!!
