MetCon with Booty Band & Dumbbells for Women Over 40

[@SimplyOrganizedLLCMadison]

Thank you PJ. You are my "person" for strengthening my 58-year-old bod. I stopped striving for flat abs when severe restriction, low fat, low carb, diet-- otherwise known as an eating disorder -- plus overexercising did not give me this result. Now my goal is strong abs and a strong lower back in conjunction with eating what my satisfies me. I feel privileged to have this body. Thanks again for being here!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

@SimplyOrganizedLLCMadison - You KNOW it! 🙌

[@jenniferantonini6785]

A very sweaty one!!! Booty band was a nuisance but I survived!!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

They can be a nuisance sometimes - but worth the perseverance! 🥰

[@colleengirl1]

Got it done, now for the Christmas party with my ladies today. Thanks, PJ, ready for the day!!😊❤🎉

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Have fun! 🤩 🥂

[@janicemaloof556]

This whole workout was great! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! Bloopers were hilarious.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So glad!

[@jburwinkel]

This felt wonderful!! At the end, when you said hamstring stretch, I immediately went for the dumbbells to build up the ground. You taught me that and I thank you!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Well done! I am smiling with pride right now. OX

[@mariadefatimafatima8077]

[@alsci2489]

So my 14 year old son thought this would be easy and joined me for this workout.... he was huffing and puffing. Now he has more respect for my workouts with you PJ 😊

[@FitnesswithPJ]

L.O.V.E. this so much ! Go YOU 😃

[@abigailsandham]

Brilliant sweaty heart pumping workout. Really enjoyed it. Those booty band ab exercises tested the metal. Wow x

[@sandrabrinkley9529]

Wow! My glute meds are on fire! I used an intermediate strength fabric booty band, and the only time I wished I had elastic was on that last ab exercise.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

🙌

[@gwenvine6988]

Loving the variety of all the different moves. Thanks PJ - you are the best

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yay Gwen! Glad you enjoyed! 🥰

[@margaretflynn1288]

The cloth booty band worked for me today. 12# weights were a good fit. Today was great. Looking forward to tomorrow’s workout. Thanks, PJ!❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job Margaret! 🙌

[@dawnbrower9129]

Yes, I held my weights doing the squats!! And…..looked the abs at the end!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

[@paulbaker8861]

The cloth bootie band works fine. And is SO much more comfortable!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I hear ya! I does depend on the kind of workout really! 😃

[@eileenwilliams4894]

Did this again, for the calendar workout today and have a cloth booty band now....what a huge difference. Loved it!!

Loved the ab portion. I will be using these moves as part of my regular rotation. So much better on my back but still gets he job done! Thanks PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So glad this hit the spot for you Jill! 🥰

[@emilycolby5629]

My bootie band was really rolling! Loved this workout! I am super sweaty!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

They can be so effective yet so annoying 😠

[@pattycraig7170]

Wow - those 6 rounds went by quickly! Day 22 Done! ✅

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Bam! 💥 🔥

[@vernheatherprice3894]

Wow, what a workout! I just bought new Booty Ban yesterday, I will feel my legs tomorrow! I usually do your challenges a few times, months apart and documented. It's a great way to see how I have improved, which I have! I can do push-ups now. On my knees, but still do them. Before, I would just do chest press. And for my heavier weights I went from 12 lbs to today. I used 21. Thank you for all you do! I love all the workouts! Cheers Heather

[@FitnesswithPJ]

What awesome results Heather! You ROCK!!! 💪

[@janetwoodall8356]

I so appreciate you reminding us to set our watches! Nothing worse than getting through a workout and finding out my hard work was not recorded! I am absolutely loving this challenge. I am behind due to vacation but definitely sticking with it and feeling stronger. Thanks so much PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great stuff Janet!! I TRY to remember 😂

[@stiofaininnichlerigh8168]

Well now PJ that was DELICIOUS I done the ab work THREE TIMES so effective really really good I'd do that over and over again no problem This is definitely going into my favorites Cheers PJ LEGEND Steph 🇮🇪

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Close to the finish line now! 😃

[@adriennekinsella7123]

Day 22 in the books. Didn't sleep well last night so I did this a bit slower than my usual but I kept up! The booty band rolled up and I never got it to stay straight. Those lower ab exercises were something else! See you tomorrow!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Woohoo! 🥳 Great!

[@estelleorritt7454]

Still on challenge but been on holiday so just catching up , I did a kettlebell class with a friend on Friday and really noticed my strength had improved, it’s working thank you.

This was tough for me today! Had to take couple of breaks and was interrupted by kids but I finally finished 🙂

Go Stephanie!

[@carolinelegg6110]

Great routine, I love the whole body ones, although my abs are already feeling their extra session at the end!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Nice going Caroline! 🙌

[@nomthandazovooi8649]

Thank you PJ, this workout was🔥🔥🔥

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Oh yeah! So glad you loved it 🙌

[@jburwinkel]

This was really tough for me today! I'm not sure why, but I muscled through it!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Some days it's just like that! 🤗

[@jeanetteweiler3448]

knee pushups with wrist/shoulder taps getting better... your cue a couple sessions ago to tighten core going up from the floor so that it was one solid core going up versus the 3 piece way i was doing really helped... i could visualize it better and it actually made it "easier" - until i got more tired than all bets are off... but, anyway, definitely getting stronger. thank you!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great improvements Jeanette! Proud of you 🤗

[@susanlumley5547]

I didn't do the pistons. Shoulders too sore. Did the warm up exercise instead. Buuuuuut I upped my game on the lunges 🏋‍♀️. Yeahhhh day 22

[@FitnesswithPJ]

All WINS! 😃

[@sarinalam4907]

Thanks Pj! I used 8 kg this time and burnt 154kal for the past 36mins

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Nice work! 🙌

[@gracelagrue4327]

I loved this one!! It´s quite a challenge keeping the elbows back and not splayed while doing the push-ups but I´m working on it. I did this in shorts and the booty band stayed in place and didn´t pinch me like I thought it would. Thanks again, PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Nice work Grace! 🥳

[@patriciagambin3276]

Great work out I love the fact that it’s only 30 minutes does not cut into your day. The sway jump I used a 2kg dumbbell go me 😅 thanks

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job Patricia! 🙌

[@georgiecameron4007]

Oh I remember how intense this was the first time we did it and its still intense pj 😳 wow really feeling the burn 🔥

[@FitnesswithPJ]

It's a goodie! You are smashing it Georgie! 🙌

[@valeriegoldberg6917]

Great workout! I can do many more pushups since I started this months challenge.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Now that's a GREAT result! Way to go Valerie

[@dr.sherrispeaks]

Really enjoying the opportunity to perfect my push-ups without pressure to do a bunch. Thanks!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So glad Sherri! 🤗

[@jab7016]

Hey PJ, I really enjoyed this one. I wear shorts for your workouts and I started with the latex band. It was killing my skin so I switched to my medium cloth band and it was perfect for the rest of the workout and much more comfortable. Thank you as always. :)

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Oh I hear you! Good thinking 😃

[@jpkko412]

Great!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Way to go!

Decided to try extreme for half of the squats/heel lifts holding 6kg dumbbell! Thanks for the excellent workout PJ and reminder to turn on tracker although I only managed to press start halfway through - not sure I'm improving on that front!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Do we really need a fitness tracker to tell us we are working out hard?

[@marytomsic7784]

@@FitnesswithPJ - no!! you're right! Might break up with the tracker for a bit!

You got me sweating with this one! Wore a weighted vest with the squat jumps so I could hold onto the girls, lol!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Love it! GREAT idea 😊

[@michelleelizabeth299]

I do love these met-cons- quick, but super intense! Plus I got to try out my new 4" wide booty bands (I broke my 2 " wide ones). They still roll a bit, but not nearly as bad as the 2" ones. Thanks for an awesome workout PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Oh yes! Wider bands should make a good difference! 😃

[@rebeccakomarek4668]

Took a few days off from working out and then started back with this workout, which seemed easy this time. I found that I usually have to skip the optional workout on Wednesday or I get too fatigued and start regressing.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Sometimes taking some rest days is just what you need!! 😃

[@fayemcdonnell7288]

Loved this one! Am I nuts… but I do love a push up!!!😂

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Haha! Maybe we are both nuts! 😂

With shorts on I had to swap out the latex for my cloth band 👍 I found it worked much better. ( I think the ‘stretch link’ was missing 🤔)

Loved this workout as always. I specifically liked the stomach ones with the band. I will be away from home for a month this summer and looking for exercises with the band to keep my muscle tone since I won't have dumbbells.

Great thinking Rhonda! 💗

[@mandylloyd6750]

Due to low back pain, today was one of those workouts that I challenged myself to just keep moving. Appreciated the reminder about the hard work it takes to make changes - not just exercise, but nutrition, sleep, and stress management. That was helpful!

[@angelasylcott5375]

ℹ️ If anyone is looking for a tip for dealing with the band during lunges, I discovered that taking the band off of one leg (and moving it up my other thigh a bit so it didn’t fall) helped the band not be annoying. Putting my other leg back in took the same amount of time as readjusting it.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Booty band hack! I love it, thank you for sharing ❤

Day 22 done. The booty band was going to be launched our of the window and I forgot to switch my damn watch on 😡 but apart from that enjoyed it 😊
