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!

Had a weekend off as was away with the girls but last week managed the full 50 min of BFBM every morning plus >10,000 steps on some days. Days when I'm in the office are difficult to get in >10,000steps so I may have to try and squeeze in more Jillian on those mornings.
So far today have done 40 min of KBFF and will walk later on.
Enjoy the hols Oub and welcome back Sophie - our HT is next week Smile.

Killer Arms and Back L2 and workout 3 (abs) of KBFF. Great to get back to exercising although our trip was so exhausting (but an amazing experience for us and DCs at the games) that wouldn't class any days as "rest days" GrinGrin

Hope you enjoy your hols, Oubliette (half term, I guess. Ours is next week)

Rest day. I've only just got home after 2.5 hours of parents evenings (both DC ended up with parents evening on the same evening). I need to feed everyone and do another hour of work, so exercise isn't happening.

7km run. Got at least 4 rest days now due to travelling.

Happy birthday to your DS, Oubliette!

Yes Blody, I too would consider not being able to shower afterwards as a good reason not to exercise!! WinkSmile

I'm trying to get in as much exercise as possible this week as we're overseas next week for a sports comp for DCs and I won't get anything done there.

7km run.

Happy Birthday Oub's DS!
Ended up doing almost 12,000 steps yesterday, my best total so far Smile.
No Jillian for me today - our shower is being replaced so have the perfect excuse not to exercise. May do a walk later though, once the new shower is working!

Rest day - it is DS's birthday and we are going out for dinner.

BFBM yesterday but Thursdays are usually a long day at work so didn't get to the 10,000 steps Sad.
Have done 2 x 20min KBFF so far today and planning a long walk later.
Tomorrow may end up being a rest day as the Six Nations is starting!

SophieLion · 02/02/2018 07:35

Workout 2 (legs) of KBFF and 6W6P L2

Was tired and not motivated at all today. The workouts felt really hard so was pleased when I had finished. Got a pain in my left hip - muscle, not bone - which didn't help.

Just done BFNM. Yes - it's cardio. A combination of kick boxing and jump work with a bit of abs thrown in. No weights at all.

(23/227; 18h 40min)

OP posts:
SophieLion · 01/02/2018 07:23

5.5km run (not my usual 7km as got dance class later and I didn't want my legs to be too tired for dance).

Not tried BFBM. It's all cardio, isn't it? I usually get my cardio in through running so that's why I never bought it.

BFBM every day this week so far and 10,000+ steps per day.
I'm not sure I have 6w6p but I will have a hunt and try it if it's here!
Agree 50 min BFBM is definitely harder than the 3 x KBFF...

One hour tennis

Funnily enough I did 6W6P L1 & L2 this evening (although I did have a break in between as I had to collect DS). I definitely agree with L2 being harder.

And I've got an hour of dance later and feeling a bit wrecked!!
