Happy weekend!

Post jab bleugh was my excuse on Tuesday and a visit to dd's new school last night covers that Blush I've turned into someone who has to exercise in the morning or it just doesn't happen. Short run today.

Been working through epic heat - 2 days left. A full body complex and the dreaded EMOM....
today did a yoga session for flexibility and obviously walking a lot more now because of the puppy.

I may have missed this but are you a fitness teacher Bez? For combat? Or for other classes as well?

I'm also trying to cut out alcohol and sweets. I don't drink much at all to be fair but I noticed over the summer that I put on weight with increased alcohol consumption and again over Xmas. Think my metabolism generally might be starting to slow down too (I've always eaten quite a bit but healthily).

Dinner out with your DD instead of a workout sounds good to me Bez Wink

Meetings are the worst Oubliette. I'm sure most of the ones I attend are not needed and could be replaced with an email. Annoying Angry. I haven't done BFBM for a long time, but I remember how tough it is!

50 minute Pilates with ring today. Oof, that was bloody tough! I will definitely feel it tomorrow.

Cardio: BFBM (53 mins). To make up for being sedentary whilst stuck in tedious meetings.

good work @roonetta

I would say my diet especially of liquid calories is not the best.

I did LM Barre on Monday, excellent as usual. I cancelled qigong last night, and had dinner out with my DD. Barre, Qigong and then teaching Combat tomorrow.

40 minute strength/cardio workout with Trinny/Nat - a gentler version of a Jillian workout - I enjoyed this one. Still using light weights but hoping to gently increase soon. Now I just need to get my eating back on track Confused

Feeling much better about getting on and exercising this week. I do enjoy it. I just need to stay in the groove. 30DS L3D3 and DDM: salsa (31 min)

Sod's law I'm trying to train myself out of sleeping on my front, Bez, and I'm sleeping on my side instead these day!

BezMills · 23/01/2023 20:01

@MotherForkinShirtBalls I had a sore shoulder and a mild fever with my 4 (four) jabs. I learned after the first one to get it in the arm I don't sleep on lol

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 23/01/2023 19:52

At first glance I thought that was Japanese Flamenco, Oubliette! 😅

I slept really badly so I walked my hill run this morning but felt every step of it. Also got my covid booster. My arm is sore already, hoping it's the worst of the side effects.

Days exercised 16.

OublietteBravo · 23/01/2023 19:09

30DS L2D3 and DDM: Japanese and Flamenco (35 min).

@MotherForkinShirtBalls thanks for the tip!

Taught the class today and had a nice sit down with my 'big sister' after. She gives great moral support, absolutely needed that. I got some nice constructive feedback and a lot of encouragement.

11 days

OublietteBravo · 22/01/2023 18:10

After 2 days of being pathetic, I finally managed to make myself exercise. 30DS L1D3 and DDM: Japanese (31 min)

Rebel2023 · 22/01/2023 13:08

20 min recovery ride

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 22/01/2023 11:48

Oh wow, that's a lot of dog alright, Sophie, no wonder you're wrecked from him pulling! A weekend of eating and relaxing sounds lovely.

Good to see you back, Rebel. No harm at all to ease yourself back, you were working very hard before you got sick so no doubt you'll find your fitness again when you give it some time.

I'm sure you have loads of advice from your partner, Bez, but I found squats were (are) amazing to manage PF. You're probably doing loads already with your classes though!

I had a short run this morning and a 15 minute lower body burn routine when i got home.

Days exercised 15

BezMills · 22/01/2023 08:32

good morning fit people!

Today I am teaching an extra Body Combat class and afterwards getting some coaching from another instructor on something I'm finding difficult.

I seem to have a Plantar Fasciitis flare up, so have been doing a lot of stretching. My DP is a podiatrist, and says I just have to keep doing my stretches and it will get better in time.

SophieLion · 22/01/2023 08:12

He's a Rhodesian ridgeback motherforkin.

Must get back to exercising. Been away for weekend and no exercise and lots of eating so feeling very sluggish.

Grin The music band made me laugh Bez. When I first saw 'plates' I thought it was like the sliding circle things you can use to exercise Motherforkin so that made me laugh too!

30 minute 'bit of everything' workout today - strength/Pilates/cardio

First ride after covid
15 min r&b ride, I'm keeping the intensity very low for a few weeks and just extending the time before I ramp it up
