Anyone up for some Fit February after Red January

Determined to keep some momentum
Not sure I'll manage something every day but want to keep up my half marathon training and need to get back in the gym for some toning and strength work
Think I might use this thread a bit like the red January thread to keep me on track

Do you ice them, @shinygiratina? And use a foam roller?

Having an easy week after RED January, but keeping up with yoga every day at least.
I thought my legs would feel amazing after a few rest days, but I feel like I've got onions embedded in my calf muscles!

:) I’m in!
I worked on the 1st, but then I went for a long walk with the dog and friends.
2nd I did my body pump class
3rd I did nothing I’m afraid.
4th I did Pilates

Today I ran 5k, did a spinning class and a Pilates one.

I’m still finding my happy medium :)

Gym session done tonight
Feeling a bit more like my old self now that the January lurgy is gone
Also walking to and from work in daylight is certainly helping

Did my run this morning, but even though run on sunday was a relatively short one, my legs were like lead this morning. I'm trying to do yoga before going out and it's not the most strenuous but maybe it;s too much for me. I'll give it through the rest of the week and see...

Run done today! I've filled in everyday in Feb so far haha

That app sounds great @CantstandmLMs! I do a lot of walking but it's mostly ambling. Hopefully the app will give me some motivation to get quicker!

I'm hoping to keep moving in February plus add in some cardio and yoga. DTS1 loves doing kids yoga with me, we have been hungry caterpillars, farm animals etc Grin

Skintness means no gym/ exercise classes possible but YouTube is my friend for cardio!

I've finally got to the 20 mins straight running part of couch to 5k lol.

Anyone have the "active 10" app? By the nhs too? Tracks your walking and how many mins are brisk and sets targets. It's inspired me to add to my brisk walking total today!

Right
45 minute gym session done
Not sure I'll manage something every single day but am aiming for 24 activities this month
So that's one down 23 to go

I'm here!

Waves hello. I'm integrating yoga as im stiff as anything but plan to keep RED up through half term and then see where i am. thanks for keeping me going

Like this and I already started Feb with a run to keep the habit up! Tomorrow we are at a national trust place so I guess plenty of walking. Trying to keep it chill but want to put something on my calendar every day no matter what that might be!

In Red Jan I built healthy habits, travelled 221 miles! And lost 10lb total! I'm really chuffed. Found my love of movement again and feel that it's made me appreciate the process of calories in/calories out more in order to actually lose some weight!
