That sounds like a tough class Bez!

Swim at lunchtime today. I'm getting used to going a little further again which feels good.

Days exercised 28

I taught my proprietary 'kicky punchy exercise class' today. I think it went well enough. 15 people came out on Sunday morning for it (to be fair the gym being closed means there's a lot of pent up demand for classes!).

I did a 'pain track' to finish, which is Bjork's Army Of Me ("If you complain once more, you'll meet an army of me"). It contained 40s, 60s, 80s hold in some kind of stress position (individual choice from wall squat, plank, low squat, whatever you choose).

We used to have to do squats to sally up sally down

I'm really sorry to hear about your cat Roonetta. Sending you hugs 💗

I'm so sorry about your cat

30 min 2000s music ride

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 11/02/2023 21:29

Sorry to hear about your cat, Roonetta, that's really hard. Mind yourself. And you too, Bez, it's hard that one change has such ripples through other things. Hope your class went well today.

Unlike you Oubliette, I succumbed to my laziness! I could have got something done between work and a thing I had yesterday evening but I went to bed for an hour instead! Made up for it today... 17,000 steps and a legs and core routine.

Days exercised 27.

BezMills · 11/02/2023 07:29

@roonetta aw that's rough, sorry about your catto.

I've had a couple of uppy-downy weeks. I'm more emotional about my gym than I thought I would be. The new mgt are not at all convinced about taking on the Les Mill classes due to cost (gyms have to pay $$ per month for each program) so that's probably my BodyCombat teaching career stymied before it really got going, as well as my Barre and Core classes gone.

I still have to do my LM BC certification because it's a no-brainer to get the ticket (which lasts forever) when I'm so close, but my heart's not really in it at the moment. I've done some pressups in my challenge, had a couple of days 'rest' due to low mood and CBFitis.

I have booked the community centre for tomorrow 10am and will teach a martial arts exercise class (can't teach BC because licensing etc). So today I'm going to do some stretching and mobility and watch some youtubes and sketch out what I'm going to teach tomorrow.

Not managed to do much this week. My cat has been very poorly and I have been backwards and forwards to the vet. Sadly I made the sad decision to have her put to sleep yesterday as they thought she had a brain tumour . That meant no exercise and more chocolate for me. Will get back to it next week.

Rebellious23 · 09/02/2023 17:32

I'm going to do the other rides because it was nice to have something to ponder about while I was gasping for air

The best quotesstill I've heard in a ride is "you've done harder shit than ride a bike to Justin bieber"
"If Britney can survive 2007, you can survive this climb"

As in what is your reason why you exercise? Basically saying that you have to know WHY you want to exercise in order to do it
And to treat it like you're the CEO of your own body, you would make a plan and be efficient and determined about it

Show quote history

Oh, that's an interesting thought process.

Lovely swim at lunchtime, it felt good and I feel good after it.

What does "what is your why?" mean, Rebel?

NTWICF: ease it in, dance dance dance, burn it out - plus warm up/cool down (32 min). Struggling a bit with the moves on the new levels - guess I just need more practice!

@MotherForkinShirtBalls anything is a win, and infinitely better than nowt! You are doing grand, keep getting after it

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 07/02/2023 20:26

Not feeling great today so I did a fairly gentle core/stretching video. I'm feeling very unmotivated the last week so if I give myself any opportunity to slack off you won't see me for 6 months...
