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.

It's frustrating when you have a break and then you gone back about 10 levels, MotherForkin. Hope you're not sore today.

5km interval run plus strength for abs, arms and butt

214 days

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 29/09/2020 17:15

Weights including deadlifting today. I'd forgotten how hard it is! And I was only able to do half what I used to Blush

Days exercised 201.

Decorating definitely counts Oubliette Smile. I always have more motivation when I am doing a program. I am sure if I didn't have something to aim towards, I would find it harder to stay motivated. Not sure what I will do when BR is finished in a few weeks, but it will probably be another program - maybe Bodyshred (although I have heard this is ridiculously hard!)

WO10 done

SophieLion · 29/09/2020 08:03

Lots of strength today with my new resistance band plus some yoga to stretch me out a bit at the end.

Sorry you're not feeling very motivated Oubliette. Sad Have you perhaps thought about trying a different type of exercise? I get bored so easily and find varying things makes it a bit easier.

200 days - fabulous @MotherForkinShirtBalls
Star

I seem to be struggling a bit with motivation at the moment. Nothing over the weekend (unless decorating counts). KB&T L2 and 30DS L3 (65 min) this evening.

Oooo congratulations on 200 MotherForkin! 🥳🎉

Did manage a short abs session later in the day yesterday but having a rest day day.

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 27/09/2020 20:30

Thanks roonetta Smile

roonetta · 27/09/2020 20:14

Woohoo! 🙌 well done on 200 days MotherForkin 👏👏

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 27/09/2020 19:59

I came very close to bailing on today but the thought of hitting 200 made me Grin so I went for a run.

Days exercised 200.

roonetta · 27/09/2020 15:03

Couldn’t face Jillian cardio today so did a 4 mile ‘walk with Leslie’. I am really aching today from WO10 yesterday; it really must be working my butt and legs.

I can actually do proper push ups, just not too many. Doesn’t seem to be ridding me of my bingo wings though.

SophieLion · 27/09/2020 08:50

Belated happy birthday Oubliette! 🎉🎂

7km run today. Didn't sleep well and feeling too wrecked after run to contemplate doing anything else.

I also have issues doing push ups. No matter how many on-the-knees ones I do, I can barely do one proper full push up. The tricep push ups I'm ok with though.... Hmm

Days exercised 212

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 26/09/2020 14:10

Tragically true, roonetta. Grin

Hill run and sea swim this morning. The water was absolutely gorgeous.

Days exercised 199.

roonetta · 26/09/2020 12:44

😂 at your t-Rex arms MotherForkin, that made me laugh. I don’t believe it for a moment.

WO10 done ✅

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 25/09/2020 19:26

Happy birthday Oubliette Cake

I have a t-shirt, roonetta that says "t-rex can't do push ups". It's like a self portrait Blush

roonetta · 25/09/2020 19:06

Happy birthday Oubliette! Hope you had a great day Flowers

Your yoga sounds hard core Sophie!

Your arms won’t be puny for long MotherForkin - I dream of toned, muscly arms instead of my bingo wings.

Rest day for me today.

I had a planned rest day yesterday because it was my birthday. I’ve just done KB&T L2 and 30DS L3 (65 min)

You have a very enthusiastic cat roonetta Grin. Yoga that feels like cardio sounds terrifying Sophie!

I had another weights session today (three this week and next to catch up on my missed week). It was hard. I'm starting back into proper weight lifting now, which I haven't done in a few years. My arms are so puny Sad

Days exercised 198

SophieLion · 25/09/2020 07:36

I didn't feel like cardio today so chose a 45
Min cat Meffan yoga flow and it was so fast and difficult that I ended up feeling like I'd done cardio. Sweating and shaking Grin did a quick lilly sabri abs session at the end.

Grin at your cat Roonetta! If I exercise in the garden then my cats decide to come and start ripping/clawing at my mat !

roonetta · 24/09/2020 17:29

Just think how strong and toned you are going to be ladies. Well done!

WO9 done ✅

Was doing well until my cat savaged my head while I was lowering into a plank jack push up! DD thought it was hilarious 😂

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 24/09/2020 11:08

Weight training this morning. I'm still sore after Tuesday and I've a catch up class to get through tomorrow too 😫 I'll be immobile by the weekend!

Days exercised 197.

SophieLion · 24/09/2020 07:44

Yes JM Can be a bit confusing like that sometimes Roonetta. Probably next time round you'll find it easier as you'll
Know what to expect.

Well done on the extra swimming metres MotherForkin 👏🏻

I did a 45 minute power yoga flow today plus finished off the Lilly sabri booty resistance band challenge - today seemed to bother my quads more than my butt though!!

The ones where she misses things out confuse the hell out of me @roonetta.

Abs for me today- both levels of 6W6P (65 min)

Wow, 182 bmp is a lot of puff roonetta!

Swimming today. I was in the pool bang on time for a change so I managed to do 1250m instead of my usual 1000m. I am sore after yesterday's weights session so the swim will hopefully help.
