Happy New Year! I’m starting a nice shiny new thread to keep track of my 2020 exercise goals. Please feel free to join me.

My goals are:

  1. To do some exercise on at least 250 days during 2020;
  2. To do at least 200 hours of exercise.

You have been going like the clippers, Sophie, I hope you enjoyed your weekend of rest.

I bought myself a body pump bar for my weights classes and it's so much easier than using the dumbbells. Now I just need more weights plates Grin

Thanks Sophie. I had a never ending migraine and I didn't realise how bad I felt until I felt less bad.

Cycling with the kids today. Ds finally got his new bike (first investigated just before lockdown which seems like years ago) and life really better with a bike that fits him!

I had a rest day yesterday because I was feeling really tired. I got up and exercised this morning as usual though. KB&T L3 and 30DS L1D1 (65 min).

I was feeling awful on Wednesday so took the day off. We had some nubies on the mobility flow class last night so it was too easy to count yesterday! Back to it properly with a hard weights class this morning. Happy weekend!

6W6P L1 & KB&T L2 (75 min). Too wet and thundery to go out for a walk this evening.

Grin - I’d probably run if I could persuade DS to come too. Getting him to do any kind of physical activity is challenging at the moment. He usually swims and plays rugby/hockey/cricket (depending on the season). But nothing like that is possible at the moment. It’s a worry.

Oh I got all confused. (Late night last night). It was MotherForkin who went for the run Grin

SophieLion · 17/06/2020 07:04

Wow Oubliette - I don't think I've ever seen you write that you went for a run! Did you enjoy it after so long?

5km run plus strength for abs

@MotherForkinShirtBalls - DS and I managed to avoid getting caught in the rain by mere seconds this evening. We were about 20 steps away from the front door when it started.

6W6P L2 & KB&T L1 (70 min). It’s so humid. I definitely need a shower!

Congratulations on reaching half way Oubliette!

I realised I haven't been for a run in ages so I went out for a short one this morning. I didn't know it was raining until I walked out the door Hmm. Then mobility/core class when I got back.

After a planned rest day yesterday, I’ve just done Yoga inferno L1 (the one without the weights) and KB&T L3 (70 min)

(125/125; 125h 20)

I'm half way to my 250 days of exercise target (and we’re not quite half way through the year). I think on the whole I’m less likely to skip an evening during lockdown (as there is nowhere to go out to).

Thanks Sophie, it's a bit better today. It's a long term management thing unfortunately, rather than it'll ever be fixed.

Weights class this morning. I think the elevated split squats are putting too much pressure on my hip so I'll need to work out how to modify them.

Hope your hip improves quickly MotherForkin

I was tired yesterday so took a rest day. Still tired today so I had a reasonably easy cycle with the kids.

I’ve done Yoga inferno L2 (the one with weights) and KB&T L2 (70 min). I’m still finding it more of an effort than usual - I think it might have been because of the humidity this evening.

Glad it's going the right way, Sophie but it's so easy to do something slightly different and feel it again. My hip has been bad this week. I remembered to put my resistance band around my knees today to remind me not to go too wide on squats, I'll have to make sure I do it more often.

Weights this morning and virtual sports day with the kids. I've done two rounds of ball skills and a dance class. I think I'm going for a lie down while they do their yoga!

SophieLion · 12/06/2020 07:49

I think it's slowly improving MotherForkin.
Some exercises/positions seem to make it really hurt so must ask doc when I go back. Running is ok luckily if I don't go too fast. Thanks for asking Smile

Strength for whole body for me today. Feeling a bit wobbly now.

Killer Abs L1&L2 (60 min). It seems like a bit of a slog at the moment.
