🥵 Just done pump 106. That back track was full on but that shoulder track was 😱

It will be forever Grot in my mind from now on.

Had a bad day with my hip yesterday, no obvious reason but ended up clocking off work early and wallowing around in a bath with epsom salts for about an hour. Anyway, another Body Balance this morning and it's feeling ok. I guess I must have been sat down like a collapsed pretzel all day.

Grot 😅

Did Grot Athletic this morning (and finished with a few Sprint tracks as usuaL). Well, I feel like trash 🤦🏻‍♀️ my body was crying out for a rest day but I didn’t listen. I think I’m going to struggle today. I could tell I was struggling in Grit because usually I’m all yellow and red zones and I was mostly green 😂 just feeling so weak. Must listen to the body so I’ll be resting up the next two days.

ooh I will try 106 then!

HermioneWeasley · 25/03/2021 11:27

The back track on pump 106 is the worst

rosettesforjill · 25/03/2021 11:08

Oohhh Pump 111 is on the schedule for me on Friday 😬

sociallydistained · 25/03/2021 08:29

I hate the low pull!! Lol

PilatesPeach · 25/03/2021 07:34

I just did pump 111 omg that back track with the low pull and high pull! Forgot how brutal it was!

@kittykarate

Oh be kind to yourself wishywashy when you're ill. You don't want to knock your recovery back. Even Body Balance is a challenge when you're stuffed up with cold, as you can't get a big breath going.

Back on it today. Only managed 20 minutes then my DD got up and started being a nob about going to school. Just did 45 minute combat to make up for it. Anyone notice that they can hold their legs up to shave them in the shower these days. Couldn't do that a few weeks ago

I could only manage 2.5kg weights with 1.5kg on top for the harder exercises. I have 5kg weights but I won't be using them any time soon.
My legs and arms are achiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing

I did Pump 111 today. I really enjoy it. I’m slowly upping my load and feeling a difference. I think doing Grit Strength with the bar also helps me in BP.

I am such a weakling at body pump. MrKitty moves my loaded bar around the room like it's a toothpick. The biceps and triceps were my nemesis.

In a minor win, I can now catch my ankle and do a quad stretch on my bad side when I'm laid down. So there is progress, just boring and slow. I also managed a whole 15 minutes of a Lesley Sansome walking workout (though split into 2 blocks) . I felt like I was auditioning for the Golden Girls, but last week, I could only manage 6 minutes in 2 blocks.

2 days off as full of cold. Am so fed up.

Did a huge walk today but feeling really lazy now.

I hope I'm up to it tomorrow

I got a Les Mill weights set for Christmas and I love it. DH has never done any classes at the gym but is now quite partial to a 30 min pump class. I bought an extra couple of weights - the interestingly sized 3.75 kgs; i have never seen them before, we jump from 2.5 to 5kgs at the gym. Anyway, they are a great addition and I really recommend them for some extra variety.

I’m in the last week of Game Changer, having done Fast Burner immediately before. I’ve done every single day, other than 1 days rest when I had my jab and was feeling quite off. I have a dodgy knee so I don’t do the Grit ones, and swap those out for the Sprint HIIT on the bike. Sprint is pretty grim, so I don’t feel like I am getting an easy pass, although the Grit stuff does look very ... gritty!

I loathe BodyAttack; I have to swap out so much because of the impact on my knees. Plus I find the presenter annoyingly perky. I’ve actually got one of those mini rebounder trampolines and do some of the bouncier parts of Attack on that.

Woop woop! Now you can snigger to yourself when Glen says 'Pick dick' and wonder if he's wanting you to work on your 'potatoes' in your shoulders.

I think so too - the fatigued feeling isn't nice at all.
Think I will aim for 5 days rather than 6, no point over doing it if it just makes you feel like you want to give up!

Oh I'm so pleased you're feeling better Pebbledashery. Sometimes you just need a break to re-charge.

Hi all :)

Feeling much better this week after having a weekend of no exercise (and naughty food!!)
I did combat 67 yesterday and this morning did attack 108 :)
My barbell and weights should be arriving this week - cannot wait to try body pump!

@kittykarate I think it’s the only time to do Grit because I haven’t got my senses yet so I just do as told. I do it on a Tuesday and Friday before work at 5.45am for my sins! In a good habit with it now though.
