30-Min Total Body Metcon for Women Over 40 // Metabolic Conditioning

[@michelleelizabeth299]

Today's workout was assisted by Mushi kitten. Every time I got down on the ground Mushi had to come and give me little kitten kisses. This may have been the best workout ever ;) And watching Kitaro kitten snoozing on the couch kept me nice and relaxed even while I was working my butt off. The kittens and I thank you for an awesome workout!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Love this Michelle!! 🐈‍⬛❤️

[@staciemberton2565]

I was a sweaty mess by the end. Even my hands were sweaty 😂. Your cues were so helpful and really do help. I love having you as my trainer ❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You are so welcome! I love training you! 😃

[@olajumokelba758]

Hello PJ, I have been working out regularly with you since last week and I appreciate the age friendly workouts you share on your channel. I am a woman in her early 40s and these workouts make me feel in control of my health and my body. Thank you PJ

Great!!!! Workout. Thank you so much 😊👏🏽

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You're so welcome! 🤗

[@michelleelizabeth299]

Since tomorrow's my active rest day I wanted a real challenge for today's workout. I wore my 12 lb. weighted vest and used 15 lb. dumbbells (just to see if I could do it). After the Ignite challenge 15's have actually become my moderates (it used to be 12's). I even used both dumbbells for the chest press to skull crusher (and that definitely crushed my triceps)! I was able to maintain good form and keep up the pace through each set (kinda proud of myself!) :) Thank you so much for these excellent workouts PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Wow Michelle! You are crushing it! 💪

[@jburwinkel]

Great to re-visit this one!! My right knee is a little sore today, so I was aware of that and did shallow lunges. That worked!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Nice work there Julie - listening to your body!! 🙌

[@emilycolby5629]

Very creative workout! I had to add the second dumbbell. Sure was a sweaty one! 😅

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job! 👏

[@maureenpolak2184]

This one made for more movement awareness but loved it. Come on Day 6.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You rock Maureen! 🔥

[@ellencolangelo2200]

Love using the Bosu ball when the exercise is user friendly. This one was. I’m really having to push myself to exercise these days. Not sure what’s going on. I’m doing them all though😓 Hope you are enjoying the Guinness in Ireland!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

It's an up and down journey! You got this! 🌟

[@beckytanner6350]

Day behind but that’s normal due to yoga! Thanks PJ😅😘

[@FitnesswithPJ]

The challenge is here when you are! 🙌

[@carminagarcia8708]

[@angharadgaylard2565]

Fab workout 👌

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thanks so much 😊

[@ginaquinton9410]

Haven't used my bosu in a while. Boy i felt that.😂🎉😊loved it as usual.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So glad Gina! You rock! 🙌

[@Bonnie_Zink]

This xhallenge is working! My squishy parts are less squishy. I can do 10 knee pushups! I cannot manafeva full on the toes pushup yet, but I will do at least 3 by the end of this challenge (fingers crossed 🤞).

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Best goal ever!! 😃

[@danakraft858]

Only you could get me to do 5 days of Metcon, PJ! And 10 more to go…thank you!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

YOU are doing it Dana! 🙌 🔥

[@patriciaackley1406]

Day 5 complete. I am trying to stay with everyone. I think that I probably will stop. I modify as necessary but my hips and knee is getting worse each day. That tells me I am over doing it. I don't want it to go to my back too. Have a great day!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Take the days you need Patricia! 🤗

[@nicolefarley8268]

Day 5 done! Although I have been doing exercises with PJ for a couple of years, including the osteoporosis program, several moves were new to me. They seemed innocent, but I guess because we were moving the whole body and doing them at a good rate, I was sweating after the session and feel I had a good workout. As far as the push ups, I think I am improving. Lifting when on my toes still gives me trouble, my body does not want to follow in a straight line. I definitely need more practice, but I like the idea of perfecting them.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You got this Nicole! Step by step 😃

[@marygartrell5277]

I golfed again today and did yard work and really did not want to work out. I heard you PJ in my head saying just push play and I did, and I am so glad I did. What a great Metcon workout my heart was up there. Thank you PJ

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You got this Mary! 💕 🔥

[@juliagulia2002]

Loved this!! Whoot!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yay Julia!!! 🤩

[@georgiecameron4007]

First workout in a long time completely lost my fitness mojo 😔 dont know why just lost my motivation but slowly trying to get back into it and needed a workout that would kick my ass back into fitness and this certainly did the job pj looking forward to getting back to working out with you again 💪

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Welcome back Georgie! This can happen. Take care 🤗

[@peggymarvin3335]

Couldn't wait to try this one today! I was a little awkward on the snatch exercise, but pray will make perfect. 😉

[@peggymarvin3335]

Ha, "practice" not "pray", but perhaps it will help, too! 😆

[@FitnesswithPJ]

😂

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You got this! 😃

[@silvannaveltri9518]

Loved it thank you but yesterday I did ur leg workout the quick heavy dumbbell one so the staggered squats were a killer for me this morning !!!!💪💪

This one got my heart rate up in a good way. And I actually broke out in a sweat. Feeling better each day. Like morning workouts if you are the instructor! 😊

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Wonderful! 😃

[@michelleelizabeth299]

Day 5 done! I am just loving these met-cons! Your energy infects me and gets me totally jazzed up. I might be sweating buckets and ready to die, but I've got a big old smile on my face :) And I was able to do 10 solid push ups from my toes! Thank you so much PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Way . to . go . Michelle 🙌 🔥

[@nicolehahn5174]

As someone who is terribly uncoordinated i really appreciate slowly moving into the compund moves...very helpful! 👌

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I got ya Nicole! 💕

[@margaretflynn1288]

Day 5 was fiery as promised. It took me most of the workout to coordinate single arm snatch to lunge. 🤷‍♀️ 😊 I was more successful when I slowed down the compound move. I was just about able to do six push-ups as one unit, then went to my knees for the other four. I’ll be repeating those push-up drills you taught us during the first four days. That should help. I’m feeling stronger, though. This challenge is excellent! What fun! Thanks, PJ!❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Wonderful Margaret! You 100% did the right thing slowing doe the move to get it right! 💪 🔥

[@jburwinkel]

This challenge is really kicking my butt, as well as my arms, shoulders, hips and every other part of my body!!! Great workout!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Love it Julie!

[@chrisostojic4131]

This one really got my heart rate up! Great cues, too! This challenge is kind of kicking my butt, too! Thanks, PJ

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You are smashing it Chris! 🔥

[@sarinalam4907]

Thanks PJ! I used 6kg for this series. The single snatch arm to lunge really challenge me, coz I only manage to do the lunge in the last round. Hope I can get more in next time!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job Sarina! 💪

[@sarinalam4907]

Thanks PJ. I burnt 97kal in 37mins. I an finally perfected my snatch and lunge using 6kg. Apart from this exercise, I think I can try 7kg next time

[@carolinelegg6110]

This is a great routine, I loved it! Hard work, but not daunting. Perfect! Thanks PJ x

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Love it Caroline! 😃

[@jing.ocampo]

Another workout that seemed "innocent" at first, but really kicked my butt! First time using a bosu for the crunches---wow that was challenging! 😅😂 Day 5, done! ❤

You know me well Jing! 🥰

[@pw8407]

This was a jun, but challenging workout!!!

I have a plated collarbone from an accident 2 years ago. The push up hurt/pinch on the way up. Suggestions?

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Please watch the videos on your Member's Dashboard (about the programming). I offer alternatives there.

[@karenadams3919]

Those would be "dust doggies"!, not "dust bunnies". 😂

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Haha! Well ... yes!
