NewYearathon - getting fitter in 2017.

9.3k run at start of the week & a cross training session yesterday -got a PT session in the morning & may attempt to squeeze a run in over the weekend as I'm away with a work thing next week though it's quite an activity based 4 days so not as bad as doing nothing & the week after is school hols so no chance of a decent run & will have to squeeze in a couple of sessions when I can.

Thabks guys mum seems to be doing fine now fingers crossed and the teen is in a bit of a better place hallelujah.

Double trained today - metafit then a pt looking at my kettlebell fixation as my competition is suddenly next Sunday aaargh ffs how did that happen I'm not ready!!!

Can only count it as one though so:

28/222

Swimming today, 44 lengths in about 35 mins. Aiming to get up to 50 in the next couple of weeks. Arms were tired after yesterday's turn on the rowing machine.

Sounds like you hiit the ground running (see how good i am at puns??) after your break.

I'm back, fell off the wagon for the last few days due to a long weekend away (which turned out to be longer than expected due to a fuck-up with the trains). Started again yesterday with cardio (27 mins random youtube HIIT rather than Jillian) which was tough but I did feel good after doing it.

LordPeter I completely sympathise with the too hungry/can't exercise after eating dilemma. Hope you have a lovely week off, I am dreading reaching where you are with Body Rev!

RJ Hope your mum is okay

Biked to work and back, which is something, but arrived home too hungry to do Jillian and can't do Jillian now I've eaten. Fail. Back on it tomorrow.

Oh no, RJ, no wonder you're exhausted. Hope you're OK.

I got to the gym at lunchtime for 45 min on bike (10), rowing machine (20) and their weird strider/stepper/glider thing (15). It looks like an elliptical trainer, so why can't it just be one??

In spire of illness and injuries its great to see so many keeping on keeping on.

Sorry to hear of everyone's niggles and colds, hope you're all better soon.
KBFF yesterday and 30 min brisk walk today. I may give 30DS L2 or NMTZ a go for the rest of this week as getting a bit bored of KBFF....

I've got a niggle too in my right trap which is worrying me a bit. Dropped training weights so as not to over work it. Today's run didn't happen my 17yo had a melt down last night and my mum was readmitted (she's home Again, her meds needed tweaked) so I'm exhausted. Nil return from me today as a result.

I had great plans to go swimming at lunchtime as dh is out tonight but I looked at the wrong day on the timetable and missed the session. Was too tight on time to go get my regular gym gear so today's a pass for me

Sorry to hear people have niggles and aches and pains. I have no such issues but still not motivated!

Killer Abs L2 done. Like ploughing through treacle but I did manage to do nearly all of it unmodified. Planning to do Killer Arms & Back tomorrow to postpone the evil moment of doing Body Rev workout 7 again - but I must do workouts 7 and 8 once more before I go on holiday on Sunday (without Jillian! Hoping I feel better and more with it after a week's break.) I'm also planning to bike to work tomorrow, after a week off the bike because the weather was so foul.

30day shred level 2 today. Think I made a mistake buying the 2kg weights and should have gone for 1kg. Did the second lot of v raises without weights.

Niggling injuries are so annoying, hope people feel better soon.

27/223

Kettlebell class

Have a grumbling calf/achilles region since the weekend. Been sulking and limited to walking 18mo which isn't quite the same... will hopefully get back to some form of exercise later today but give running a miss for the rest of the week, even though I reckon the cause was the long dog walk in wellies.

I'm struggling here - too much to do and not enough time to do it, and I'm absolutely knackered. Did Body Rev workout 8 last night (not quite as evil as workout 7 but pretty evil, particularly the third circuit which has a warrior 3 pose with weights held straight out in front. Even with my lightest weights I find that one hard). I didn't get up to exercise this morning because I was up late baking for a work thing, but aiming to do Killer Abs L2 tonight.

T25 workout this morning, quick 20 min dog walk and this afternoon I done w2r1 of c25k

Hi everyone. I was struck down with a bad viral thing last week that it sounds like so many of you have had too. Dh was away so I couldn't make myself do anything at all. Back to it tonight, where I braved gym machinery -15 mins on each of the bike, rowing machine and some odd strider/stepper thing that I thought was an elliptical trainer.

Rest day today, dentist as well 😮

Wednesday should be my rest day but I'm thinking I need to train somehow; we are going for dinner straight from work do I think perhaps a run at 7 in the morning?

Hi all, thanks for the motivation . Went for a run while DD2 at her activity his morning. Only had time for 20 min run so did a random you tube 10 min HIIT video when we got in.

KBFF Friday and today.
1hr walk Sat and rest day Sun.
Randoms good question about motivation. I agree that for me it is general health and wanting to be in the best shape I can be. What I weigh or look like are less important issues - it is about how I feel .

W1r3 of c25k and Kettlebell workout today.
