It is very nearly 2018, so here is a thread to track your exercise goals.

It doesn't matter if you are new to exercise, or merely continuing your current regime. Everyone is welcome!

No exercise sessions yet this week, although I’m walking >15k steps per day and it’s pretty hot in the Netherlands (only 27C today, but 30C yesterday and the day before).

I did it by doing multiple levels. I figure this is OK because I've certainly been exercising for more than 30 days Grin

How did you do 30 days so quickly Oub? Or do you mean you achieved it by doing multiple levels each time? Or has it really been 30 days since you started and my concept of time is all over the place?! (The latter is highly likely Grin)

All 3 levels of 30DS. Just once more through L3 to go to complete it. I’m hoping to manage this before I head off on holiday on Sunday afternoon.

Not surprised you're tired after all that Oub Grin

Just the two levels of 30DS this evening (L1 & L2)

OP posts:

Managed to do 50 mins of strength training (yay!) using physio exercises (legs), Nell McAndrew DVD (Arms and bum) and Tracey Anderson DVD (abs and core). Forgotten how good the Tracey one is for sorting our stomachs!
Dance class later.

Hobnobs - if it's very hot there then perhaps sip some water during the run (I have a running belt which can hold 2 little bottles). Also wear a hat. Make sure you do a proper cool down afterwards (a good 5 minute walk) and then a rehydration drink with electrolytes. And make sure generally you are drinking throughout the day. I live in Greece and this is what I do when I have to run when it's warm.

Congrats on reaching 100 days Oub!

Bugger went out for a run and it was crap AngrySad
Managed a smidge under 3k and walked home
Am rubbish in this warm weather and can’t get it right with drinking plenty/not feeling queasy whilst running
Back to the drawing board Sad

I went a little crazy today and did all 3 levels of 30DS back-to-back. Unsurprisingly I’m feeling a bit tired right now!

I forgot that you're having lovely weather over there right now (I'm overseas) - enjoy!

I am doing physio exercises (strengthening leg muscles) 3 times a day for my knee which is at least 30 mins but somehow it doesn't feel like proper exercise! Not allowed to run, play tennis, do squats or lunges etc until physio says it's ok - so that rules our most of the Jillian DVDs Sad

I am in the UK but one of the perks of our ridiculously expensive gym is an indoor and outdoor pool so we are taking advantage of it today
