I'm glad I forgot my runners at the weekend, I really needed a complete break for a couple of days.

They are great play lists Rebellious!

Hill run to wake me up this morning. It was not fun.

The gym is reopening under direct management of the Landlord. I'm teaching BodyCombat on my previous schedule more or less, so I'm delighted about that!

I was at 15 before Gymageddon, and have done 8 days out of 18 of my pressups challenge (I'm only counting days I got to 100), plus one day teaching last Sunday.

So, (takes socks off to count, still can't do it) 24 days.

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 17/02/2023 21:34

Swim today, I really enjoyed it.

Yes Sophie, I definitely have it un my head thst walking is for pleasure and running is work! My run yesterday was a lot shorter than the 6km fast walk earlier in the week! I walk 45-60 minutes with the dog every morning but i might as well stay in bed and eat biscuits for all the health /fitness good it does me 🤔

I'm away for the weekend. I brought my gym gear but forgot my runners 🤦🏻‍♀️

OublietteBravo · 17/02/2023 19:30

I just did a short 30 minute session this evening: Hard Body - Core. I figure it’s better than doing nothing.

Days exercised: 32/40
time: 447/700 minutes

SophieLion · 17/02/2023 11:58

And I'm not even walking that fast like motherforkin because the puppy always stops to sniff, check out another dog etc etc!

SophieLion · 17/02/2023 11:57

Hello all,
I'm still working my way through Caroline girvan's Iron series (week 3 now). Totally lost track of where I am with my exercise days though. Agree with whoever said they forget if they don't post!

Also doing about 13-15k steps a day. I'm finding all this walking quite exhausting. Being a (former - maybe) runner, I always think of running as exercise and walking more for pleasure but clearly it is also good exercise.

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 16/02/2023 19:36

Really busy day (still not finished) so just a short run this morning.

Days exercised 31

OublietteBravo · 16/02/2023 19:27

I really wanted to wimp out today. But I didn’t! Instead I did Hard Body L1 (45 mins).

I've managed 17k steps today. I had a long and fast 6km walk with a friend this evening. My legs are sore after it!

OublietteBravo · 15/02/2023 19:30

@roonetta - I’ve discovered that counting in minutes is far preferable to counting in hours/minutes. Isn’t that odd?!

OublietteBravo · 15/02/2023 19:30

I did 30DS L3D4 (27 min) and then tried a Strictly Come Dancercise DVD. It was terrible! I won’t be doing it again. I’m almost embarrassed to count the 15 minutes I spent doing the warmup/cha cha cha routine as exercise. But then I figured I’d count yoga, so why not?

Days exercised: 10/20

Thanks for all your kind messages

Back at it today with 50 minute strength workout with Trinny/Nat.

I am the same Motherforkin - if I don't post I will not remember. I sometimes forget even when I am posting Blush. I'm blaming the menopause Grin

You are really clocking up those minutes Oubliette. Star

If I fall behind on the thread, I forget what I've done so I have to keep posting!

Really tired today so just did a gentle stretching and core strength routine.

The bad news: I’m behind on the thread
The good news: I have been exercising

I didn’t do anything over the weekend.

Yesterday I did 30DS L2D4 and DDMix: Hoe down + Irish (37 min)

I’ve just done NTWICF: ease it in, take it higher, burn it out, and take it to the mat - plus warm up and cool down (41 min)
