Exercise every day 2018

Anyone up for tracking some exercise every day in 2018?

I currently do yoga and bootcamp classes at the gym and stopped running in September due to an injury (but not injured any more!)

I don't drive so walk everywhere. I wouldn't count walking as exercise unless I went further/faster on purpose, but willing to count say 20 mins easy yoga so that I don't burn out with intense exercise every day.

I'm hoping the streak will appeal to the my obsessive nature and mean that I push myself to do more this year.

Anyone else up for it? Grin

That should be “probably” eat more healthily!

That sounds like a great plan! I think it really is all about planning and knowing what makes it easier for you. So evenings are hard for me because I’m so tired. Even when I’m not pregnant I’m a real morning person and not at my best in the evenings!

I’m going to need to join a gym or something I think. I have some home equipment but it’s hard to find the time when there are no kids around / and or any other distractions!! Maybe I could do one or two dvds or exercise sessions at home but definitely need some outside motivation! It’s hard when money is tight though!

I walked into town today instead of driving, so a small start but getting into the right mindset!

I can’t wait for warmer and lighter weather, definitely makes exercise easier doesn’t it!

Oh and to answer your question, I’m about 11 and a half weeks. Hopefully coming to the end of the feeling awful part of things leaving more energy for some exercise! Also, when I stop feeling sick I can do a or eat more healthily!

Yay! Glad you're up for joining in Love. Congratulations on your pregnancy, how far along are you? And good on you for wanting to keep moving. I spent my two pregnancies on the sofa!

Well, my tactic is to plan ahead what I am going to do for each week, to tie in with mine/DH's schedules.
I find I am very good at getting to a weekly class, but if I have to choose between an evening run or a glass of wine there is no contest. So making things regular as far as possible will work for me.
Also going to try and do as much in the morning as possible so I don't have time to cancel plans.
And aiming for every day will hopefully mean I don't end up putting it off all week.

My plan for next week is:
Mon - New Year's parkrun with my sis
Tue - Yoga class
Wed - Swim (I am an awful swimmer, trying to get into it)
Thurs - Will have to be an exercise video at home, I work all day and then DH goes to his activity in the evening
Fri - Run the long way home after school run - aiming for 3 miles to ease back in
Sat - Bootcamp! My favourite class, it kills me!
Sun - I'll either try and get to a class and try something new or stretch it out at home depending how sore I am from bootcamp.

Excited now! Smile

Yes! Me! I used to be really into my exercise (gym most days, running, classes, personal training, yoga, Pilates etc) but since we moved house and had a second child I’ve found it really hard to make time and energy for it! Now expecting my 3rd baby and want to feel really fit and healthy in this pregnancy! So definitely up for exercise every day! Also have eaten roughly 800 tonnes of chocolate and done zero exercise the last week or two and feeling like a change is needed!

In fact, I’m going to sign up for a Pilates class right now!

What are you thinking you will do OP? I might write a list / plan?

Feeling quite inspired - thank you!
