You did it! That's what counts.💯 Eventually you will master it all! 💪

Hi Lisa, recently I ordered some weights which should be delivered the upcoming week. Hexa dumbbells: 1 kg (= 2,2 pound) and 2 kg (= 4,4 pound). Only those don't come in half ones so I also ordered two Vinyl hexa dumbbellset: 0,5 kg (= 1,1 pound) and 1,5 kg (= 3,3 pound). I also ordered a 1 kg kettlebell and wrist guards.

The weight I currently use is a bit more then 0,5 kg and I am a beginner when it comes to weights.

I never trained with a kettlebell, that's why I ordered the lightest one, I ordered the more heavy weights to have something to aspire to/grow into and to experiment with the 1 kg, to alternate that with the 0.5 kg.

Hi Susanne Duscha, well done. ✨✨✨

Ponytail in the face, I can relate 😉. I do not like that feeling. 

I also tend to struggle with my material. I expect experience comes into play with this. With some things I am still figuring out what works for me. For example, when I have to lay on the step, when Jenny is finished I just found the right position. 🤦‍♀️ ("my butt goes here, nope, my head is sticking out to much, have to go lower", like that). And my step is cracking/creaking when I stand on it. Very annoying. Jumping on my step, I still find a bit scary. 

About your tablet. When I watch on my tablet or desktop, I often use screen mirroring  (tablet) or Google Chromecast (desktop) so it shows on my smart television which is a lot bigger. Is that something you can try?

Susanne Duscha yeah right. 😊 The first time I became aware of this a couple of years ago, I was so surprised. I had no idea. It's a fun surprise though. 😄

Day 23 done. ✨✨✨

I enjoyed it. I can't wait till my dumbbells' and kettlebell are delivered so I can use them. Now I have one pair of dumbbells but they get sweaty easily and they roll of everything. But it will do until my new stuff gets in. 💪💯

I always find it interesting to notice that one side of my body (vertical speaking) is more flexible and it better shape then the other side. 🧡

It's great for the inspiration, to mix and match all those different walks of life.

Susanne Duscha thanks. You too! 🙏 Only after those 8 days, I do plan to continue. With a few minor tweaks in schedule and the programs I plan to do after this challenge. What about you?  

Edit: I just read a message from Jenny saying there will also be an October challenge. Cool. 😎 I might do that, but this time with some minor tweaks (for example: I probably trade the rest days for a more active workout because I follow somatic and restorative yoga elsewhere).

Day 22 done. ✨✨✨

Cats who walk around like they own the place, which they do (of course 😉). But enjoying them can be very restorative and relaxing. 🙏😻
