Winter Shape Up 2015: Week 4

Is it really the last week of Winter Shape Up? I canโ€™t even believe it; itโ€™s gone by wayyy too quickly! Thank you again to all of you for making this such a fun challenge, and for cheering each other along the way. We still have 6 days to crush it! Letโ€™s finish with the same intensity that we started with. Even if you didnโ€™t follow the plan, maybe try one of this weekโ€™s workouts to see how you like it, and maybe youโ€™ll be able to join in the fun for summer. If youโ€™re sad to see it come to an end, remember that you can repeat the program to make it an 8-week plan.

    The ice gave me a day out of school so I actually got to work out on a Tuesday! I had to switch it up, but I did w/o #1 3x. Whew! Before I started I almost convinced myself I wouldn’t be able to handle it 3x, but I figured it was worth a shot, and obviously I’m not going to quit halfway through my 3rd round! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  2. Amanda on February 17, 2015 at 6:49 am

    Workout #5 Complete!

  3. Nikki S on February 17, 2015 at 7:08 am

    We might be under a windchill warning this morning for -30F temps, but I was dripping in sweat by the time I finished Workout #1 x 3 rounds. I pulled a workout switch-a-roo since, I have a bosu ball class at the gym today; I’ll do workout #5 on Wednesday.

  4. Sara on February 17, 2015 at 7:19 am

    Did Workout 4 for the first time this morning–way harder than expected! Such a great workout!

  5. erin on February 17, 2015 at 8:14 am

    today was a 45 minute trek in about 6 inches of snow. then i had to do about 30 minutes of shoveling.

  6. April on February 17, 2015 at 8:26 am

    Active rest day over here!

  7. Genna on February 17, 2015 at 8:41 am

    Did legs yesterday and will do arms today! Woo hoo!

  8. Sandra F. on February 17, 2015 at 8:42 am

    Forgot to check in yesterday. Had a friend visiting from out of town, so I had to make it a rest day. Will be re-arranging the workout schedule to make up for it ๐Ÿ˜‰

  9. Jennifer L. on February 17, 2015 at 8:47 am

    Did a 30 minute low impact workout (Fitnessblender) + Workout #3

  10. Amy on February 17, 2015 at 9:08 am

    forgot to comment yesterday-did Body Pump followed by 15min on the elliptical!

  11. Amy on February 17, 2015 at 9:09 am

    just did a spin class and some quick biceps and triceps-getting harder at 35weeks pregnant!

  12. Claire on February 17, 2015 at 9:15 am

    Hills in spin class. I haven’t been going for a couple of months, so I was definitely feeling it!

  13. Katie on February 17, 2015 at 9:17 am

    45 minutes on the treadmill plus pushups and ab work!

  14. Tracy on February 17, 2015 at 9:26 am

    WO#5 was a winner this morning!

  15. Virginia on February 17, 2015 at 10:07 am

    My favorite yoga class!

  16. Kady on February 17, 2015 at 10:17 am

    Workout #5 speedwalking on the treadmill today

  17. Bethany on February 17, 2015 at 11:07 am

    lunchtime zumba!

  18. Cate on February 17, 2015 at 11:10 am

    I mixed it up a bit and did workouts #3 and #2 today since I have more time. I went from quaking to sweatin’. Phew!

  19. Cayla on February 17, 2015 at 11:23 am

    A mixture of your barre workouts for about 40 minutes + arms&core mini circuit

  20. Kim B on February 17, 2015 at 11:33 am

    Did a super sweaty FitnessBlender HIIT/lower body and 15 minutes Pilates for lower body.

  21. Lindsay on February 17, 2015 at 12:20 pm

    I’m a day behind schedule, so yesterday was my rest day.

  22. Lindsay on February 17, 2015 at 12:21 pm

    Today I did wo#4 x 2 and the barre arm burner.

  23. Janet C on February 17, 2015 at 12:33 pm

    The workout of the day today is Workout #4 – looking forward to getting this done after work today!

  24. Andrea B on February 17, 2015 at 12:39 pm

    I did Workout #5 yesterday (I loved this hilly workout!) and today I’m planning to find a nice long yoga set on Gaiam TV. I’ve been craving a good stretch sesh, so I decided to listen to my body and go with that tonight after work.

  25. Morgan on February 17, 2015 at 1:29 pm

    I woke up early to do workout #5 this morning but I didn’t sleep well and felt sore from yesterday. Knowing I also have a bootcamp class on the books for tonight, I opted to sub bootcamp for #5 instead of overdoing it. Have to remember that 20 weeks pregnant means I might (sarcasm) need to slow it down just a little bit! That said – I am ready for bootcamp tonight!

  26. Sandra F. on February 17, 2015 at 1:44 pm

    Just finished 3 rounds of workout 4. I feel awesome!

  27. Samantha on February 17, 2015 at 1:58 pm

    30 minute run today! It was almost TOO hot. ๐Ÿ™ Just a tiny bit jealous that I’m not snowed in somewhere… ๐Ÿ™‚

  28. Kara on February 17, 2015 at 2:58 pm

    Little bit of a pulled hammy today. Did 30 min. easy on the bike.

  29. Samantha on February 17, 2015 at 3:04 pm

    I did Workout #5 on a gym treadmill plus some total body circuits!

  30. Lindsay on February 17, 2015 at 3:08 pm

    Just did workout # 2 because I couldn’t get to the gym to do #5. Snowpocalypse 2015 has struck NC! One inch of snow and the place is shut down.

  31. Angela M on February 17, 2015 at 3:22 pm

    Did 60 minute steady state today (preparing for a 9 miler in April) and a 10 minute Ab workout!

  32. Alli O'Neill on February 17, 2015 at 4:31 pm

    was stuck inside today so switched up and did workout #1×3 today instead of tomorrow. definitely feel like I’m not struggling as much as the first time I did it! progress!!

  33. Nicole Gardner on February 17, 2015 at 4:34 pm

    Just finished up Workout 4 x2.5. My inner thighs are loving this one.

  34. Rachel on February 17, 2015 at 4:56 pm

    Just did workout #4 ๐Ÿ™‚ love it!

  35. Nikki on February 17, 2015 at 4:57 pm

    Today I did WO 5 and 30 minutes of elliptical!

  36. Kelly on February 17, 2015 at 5:11 pm

    Ran 4 mi on the treadmill today before work!

  37. Lauren on February 17, 2015 at 5:45 pm

    Did a great HIIT workout today!

  38. paige c on February 17, 2015 at 6:53 pm

    got my workout done! it was a long day

  39. Allison M. on February 17, 2015 at 7:06 pm

    Workout #5, check!

  40. soleina maherali on February 17, 2015 at 9:11 pm

    Workout is done ๐Ÿ™‚ Can’t wait to dive into a pool of hummus!

  41. erin m. on February 18, 2015 at 3:03 am

    Today will be a total body weight workout!

  42. Emily on February 18, 2015 at 4:25 am

    Did a walking workout #5 yesterday and it felt too easy. I guess I should probably get back into running. I feel like this WSU has helped me to get my endurance back!

  43. Emily on February 18, 2015 at 4:27 am

    Workout #1×3 done!

  44. Morgan on February 18, 2015 at 7:18 am

    I am soooreee today! Maybe workout #4 Monday followed by bootcamp yesterday wasn’t the best idea? It definitely led me to believe Workout #1×3 was not in the card for today so I am swapping – I am “interviewing” a Zumba instructor tonight so I have a class on the agenda at 5pm!

  45. Sarah s on February 18, 2015 at 7:34 am

    Quick kickboxing workout before class!

  46. Linda on February 18, 2015 at 7:41 am

    Four miles before breakfast. Now I want to nap.

  47. Grace on February 18, 2015 at 7:56 am

    “Fit Tuesday” Workout x3 yesterday plus 20 min elliptical warm up and cool down! Great day! Today I plan to do a treadmill interval workout and Workout 3 + your Plank video from the blog today!

  48. Carly on February 18, 2015 at 8:05 am

    Workout #1 3 times through this morning. I felt great!

  49. paige c on February 18, 2015 at 8:06 am

    got up extra early this morning to get in my workout before a long day of work

  50. Amber Schumann on February 18, 2015 at 8:36 am

    6 HARD miles ran with my MRTT crew. Training for an upcoming half marathon is proving to be more difficult that usual these days with unpredictable scheduling.
