Exercise every day 2018

354 replies

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

Thanks, appt went better than expected which is good.

Done a 4K run today.
3 mile brisk walk.
30 mins of weights and a 60 second plank. Wasn’t feeling the plank love today.

I go to a core class quite a bit where we have to do a 90 second plank followed Immediatly by a 90 second static leg lift. I was one of only two in the class which managed it last week!

Good luck with venturing in the free weights section Submariner. I go in there now. I only know how to use about half the stuff but I’m happy with what I do and rarely bother with the machines now.

Hi Viva! Hope all went well at your appointment. Wow - 90 second plank! It sounds so harmless when you say it. I think 50 seconds is about my limit at the moment.

31/365 complete! A whole month of exercising every day! I did rowing and weights at the gym. It's amazing how quickly the weight creeps up in these early days. I will have to move out of the ladies gym soon and join the main free weight section. 😬

Did a 5k run yesterday.

Today have managed a 90second plank and that’s pretty much it as I had to go to London for a lengthy hosputal appt, however have done 20,000 steps.

Wow Best I am in awe of your swimming!

Quinoa, how are you feeling?

30/365 - just a quick bit of core work. Would have been nothing at all but didn't want to break the streak. Insanity tomorrow to finish my first ever month of exercising every day!

Thanks Best I can imagine falling off the stationary bike! I did get stuck in the rowing machine last week at bootcamp! BlushGrin

Sorry to hear you're unwell Quinoa. I found a yoga video which may be nice for tomorrow?

Day 29/365 done - yoga at home.

Day 29 - 40 mins cycling on the turbo trainer. Not really feeling it today and probably could have tried harder!

Hope you feel better soon Quinoa

QuinoaKeen · 29/01/2018 10:20

Day 29/365 done sort of.

Feeling really unwell today - headache, sore throat etc and almost considered ending my streak. I found a 15 minute HIIT workout on YouTube and did that. Better than nothing I suppose.

Lifeisabeach · 28/01/2018 22:14

Day 28 - slow 8 mile run with OH this morning while kids were at a club

Bestbees · 28/01/2018 21:23

28/365 swam a mile. Walk of about 5k with dh this evening rather than going to the pub while she babysat.

Bestbees · 28/01/2018 21:22

Well done viva! I think conqueribg the fear is so important. I was not a sporty child and i let that stop me exercising for so long.

Great goal Sub. If it makes you feel better i went spinnig once and fell on the stationary bike. Powerhoop is hula hooping with weighted hoops.

VivaLeBeaver · 28/01/2018 16:03

submariner I always have the emergency clip attached on the treadmill as I have the fear of falling over on it, etc.

VivaLeBeaver · 28/01/2018 16:03

Yes I went for the run. Did 3.5k in 28 mins which is embarrassingly slow and I felt like I was going to die the whole time. Thing is I did a Park run just before xmas which is 5 k in 33 mins so not sure why I was slower today. When I did park run I ran/walked/ran/walked the whole thing which I guess must be quicker for me than a slow constant run/jog.

Did 40 mins of free weights afterwards and then a core class.

Did you go for the run Viva? I hope you did!

Gym today, I did some different bodyweight exercises on the bench and step that got me breathless and a bit on the bike and treadmill.

Best my current goal is to conquer my fear of the treadmill! It makes me really nervous so I'm working on going faster and letting go of the handles. Blush I promise I'm a proper grown up in other areas of my life, but I've always been a bit dodgy about moving things like escalators.

What's powerhoop?

28/365 - 4 weeks of 52 done!

Did body pump again yesterday.

Am meant to be meeting gym instructor to go for a run outside of the gym this morning but am worried about how slow I am and that I will embarrass myself so thinking of messaging him to bottle out of it. It’s not a class, just meeting for a run.

Have got a core class later on today.

QuinoaKeen · 28/01/2018 05:37

Roller skating sounds fun Bestbees

Day 28/365 done. A short dance workout:

Lifeisabeach · 27/01/2018 21:29

Day 27 - 5k at parkrun

Bestbees · 27/01/2018 21:14

26 and 27/365 run.

Should not run two days in a row, my body did not like it!

Aim for feb is to try a bigger range. I have rollerskating lined up and want to try powerhoop and some youtube dance videos. Anyone else got any aims?

VivaLeBeaver · 27/01/2018 14:36

Yeah I was really chuffed. Not sure if he’s flirting a bit or if I’m reading too much into it. Was just a random fb message out the blue thanking me for my support earlier that day which he always appreciates (all I’d done is help pick up a couple of woggles after aqua). And then the message about how I look in really good shape.

Kids are on a playdate so me and DH hit the gym. Tried to do the same exercises as last time and I had improved on them all so happy with that. 27/365 :)

Viva I missed your update. Well done - you must have been chuffed!

Ah that explains it. I hate how busy it is at the minute.
