Exercising into a new decade - AKA New Year-athon 2020

Indeed we are, roonetta

I got out for a cycle earlier and I dragged the kids down with me so I could get a swim in the sea after pick up. I realised the car park I use is about 200m outside my 5km limit but my sea swim is going to be my act of civil disobedience for the next 6 weeks.

Days exercised 216.

Oops forgot to mention I did level 2 of Lift and Shred today and a 2 mile boosted walk with Leslie (also did a 4 mile boosted walk with Leslie yesterday )

Woohooo Oubliette well done!!

Sending positive thoughts to everyone and noting how bloody awesome we are that no matter what gets in our way, we carry on regardless - well done ladies

Well done Oubliette! 🏅

Hope everyone is feeling a bit better today. I'm glad to have a little network here. Thank you all My run helped last night and I got a last weights session in this morning before moving to home gym and zoom with my pt. (Now I just need to unearth the playroom where we dumped everything over the last couple of months!) We're back into lockdown from midnight tomorrow night.

Sorry to hear this MotherForkin and hope you felt better after your run.

Thank you oubliette. Seems we're all struggling.

I did HIIT today: killer buns and thighs L2 plus strength for abs and arms.

Thanks roonetta

A status yellow weather warning has just landed, it looks like we're moving back to almost full lockdown for six weeks and ds has unleashed the fury that is his hot wheels booster thingamajig. I'm heading out for a blustery run now, in the hope of staving off a plan to go to bed with a bottle of gin, all the crisps and not get up until Christmas...

Thank you Roonetta

Sorry to hear you are both feeling low at the moment @SophieLion and @MotherForkinShirtBalls . Exercise can only do so much, and an end in sight to this bloody pandemic would do us all the world of good. I hope you start to feel brighter soon.

Level 1 of Lift & Shred done. I liked it but didn't get out of breath or sweaty so feel like I have phoned it in after Body Revolution. Will keep at it this week and see how I feel. Will be good for my knee though.

Yes I've been feeling very down. Exercise helps but not much actually.

5km interval run plus strength for abs and arms/back.

I've had a couple of days off, feeling sorry for myself under a duvet on the couch. I feel a bit better for them. I had a very bracing sea swim today to get me back on track.

Sorry to hear you have to hold off seeing family, Sophie. It's really shit.

Well for my last day of BR I didn’t finish with Jillian’s cardio (no surprise there) but found a workout on YouTube I liked the look of which was Sweaty Betty cardio workout by Simone. It was fast and fun and also had arms, butt and abs sections too. My butt was burning by the end of the glutes section 🥵

So next week I will be doing level 1 and 2 of lift and shred and a cardio day and repeat. Looking forward to it, just hope I can be disciplined enough to make myself do it.

Had a rest day yesterday (which was not ready at all to be honest!)

Today 45 mins strength/toning for abs, butt and arms. I just ordered the lilly sabri extra long resistance band so looking forward to using it with abs exercises (will probably take about a month go get here though with the post!!!)

WO12 done for the last time. One more cardio to go and I’m done with BR. Was going to start Body Shred next week but my knees are not liking all the plyo moves at the moment and I think they need a break from it. I might have a look at Lift and Shred as I think it might be easier on my knees.

Sorry you won't get over to see your family Sophie - it's been a really rubbish year and I for one can't wait to see the back of 2020.

WO11 done for the last time today. That is one tough workout and I found it a struggle today.

I'm sorry to hear that MotherForkin. I hope you manage to keep the exercise up as it's so important for our mental Health. I just hope that the situation will start to improve at some point.

I wanted to come to London at the end of this month for half term as I've not seen my family for ages but due to stricter measures there, I can't go. I'm sad....

7km Run plus strength for abs and butt.

Here is the petition to keep Gyms and exercise places open
for the physical and mental health of all of us
please consider signing it

Four weeks from midnight tonight, roonetta. Gyms are still open for solo training so I should be able to go to my PT's studio. I'm not supposed to visit my mum though.

Oh no @MotherForkinShirtBalls that sucks. I don’t suppose you know how long it will last either? It really is the pits at the moment not knowing from one minute to the next where things are heading. Does that mean no gym too? I think keeping up with exercise is more important than ever to keep your mood up, but I know it’s easier said than done.

I'm suffering massively from nojo at the moment. I had a very half hearted run last night which was more walking than running so I'm not going to count it.

Weights today. As of midnight tonight up lock down levels here. I feel worse about this one than the big lockdown in March
