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.

Hi everyone,
Has anyone tried an online personal trainer? I'm look at going with Amy Elisabeth (amyelisabeth.co.uk), it feels like a lot of money but then you get the support of a face to face personal trainer then its way cheaper. She specialises in people who don't like going to the gym which is definitely me Grin

You get used to the moguls after a while. But I still find L2 of 6W6P to be as much cardio as abs (if that makes sense).

I’ve just done 30DS L3D1 & KB&T L1D3 (65 min)

My feeling iffy was a migraine starting so I was in bed instead of exercising yesterday. I did a 30 minute hiit today.

Days exercised: 11.

SophieLion · 16/01/2020 07:06

6W6P L2 and day 20 of the glutes challenge.

6W6P L2 was hardcore. I used a heavier weight on the repetition circuits instead of going faster (although I tried!!). Those ab moguls are evil! How you manage to do that workout plus another JM DVD, I don't know Oubliette!! 👏🏻*

Maybe I’ll have a look at Hard Body. Not just yet though - I’ll leave it for a bit of variety when I get bored.

I’m feeling tired and a bit achy. But I ploughed on and I’ve just done 30DS L2D1 & KB&T L1D2 (65 min)

I was feeling awful yesterday so had a rest day..I did a 30 minute core thing today.

Days exercised: 10

SophieLion · 14/01/2020 07:50

Days 9, 10 and 11 of Adriene Home yoga challenge plus day 18 of the glutes challenge.

Oubliette. -I like Hard Body although not all the reviews are great - mainly complaints re the music and the DJ. I like the rapport JM has with the exercising girls and the exercises are all varied so I don't get bored. The format is that same as 6W6P ie all circuits (6 I think) once and then repeat them all. The moves are mainly combo ones: so push up, row and then 4 mountain climbers together or sit up, roll over onto tummy and then superman and roll back.

Days exercised: 11

Ri30 L1D6 & 6W6P L2 (65 min)

@SophieLion - I don’t think I’ve ever tried Hard Body (although it appears that I do have it as part of a set). Perhaps I should add it in for some variety. Or perhaps not given your comments on it Grin

JM's Hard Body L1. It was hardcore. I feel wrecked! Plus day 17 of the 100 glutes challenge.

It seems to me that no matter how much exercise I do, I always find it hard!!

Days exercised: 10

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 12/01/2020 18:18

6km tramp through woods and hills with the DC earlier. One part was 124 steps up in a row. I felt every on from about 28 Shock

Days exercised 9

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 11/01/2020 12:48

I got going early too, 30 minutes hiit on an app I found. I was wrecked after it!

I’ve struggled to raise my arms above my head today 😂

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 10/01/2020 21:48

Another walking day for me, about 6km I think.

Another evening, another set of Jillian DVDs. Tonight it was Ri30 L1D5 & 6W6P L1 (65 mins)

Glad shoulder is improving MotherForkin.

Oubliette- yes I appreciate you have built up to it. I'm just so happy when finished one JM DVD that wouldn't contemplate doing another straight after Grin*

5km interval training plus day 16 of glutes challenge. Next two days will be rest days as travelling.

RJnomore1 · 09/01/2020 22:09

Hello! Yes it’s me with the weights!

I’ve had a bit of a break so trying to get bsvk into it. I did a class today and I’m going to struggle to move tomorrow 😂

Still walking my mile too

You are officially hard core, Oubliette, if I got soaked I'd be straight into my PJs! 💪💪

Well I have worked my way up to doing consecutive Jillian DVDs over 3 or 4 years - it’s not like I just dived in to give it a go. I went to parents evening, got absolutely soaked on the way home and still did NMTZ (50 min). So I’m pretty pleased with myself this evening.

I was at the physio yesterday so shoulder was feeling much improved today and I did my hill run...slowly. I did an hour's walk each of the two days before so as not to jar it too much. Might even be back swimming next month 🤞

RJ, I think I was on one of these threads with you too! Are you still weight lifting? (Hopefully I'm not mixing you up with someone else!)

Days exercised 6

SophieLion · 09/01/2020 07:41

Hi RJ!

I really admire you Oubliette for being able to do KB&T plus another JM DVD in the same session!!!

Just did Adriene yoga days 5 and 6 (lots of core in day 6 Smile) plus day 14 of glutes challenge.

I thought I’d try a change of DVDs. I’m still not sure whether that was a good idea! I’ve just done 30DS L1D1 & KB&T L1D1 (65 min)
