Carry on exercising - the August 2022 edition

Hoping to get back to it tomorrow
My cat went over the bridge yesterday at the vet and I wasn't feeling it

Class early this morning and a dog walk. I'm ready to go back to bed now...

////annoying flappy mans who don't understand lane etiquette\\

They are the worst!

Swim at lunchtime. I didn't stay in as long as planned (about 800m vs the planned 1k) as my ear phones wire has completely fallen apart and my boredom threshold was drastically reduced by an annoying flappy man who didn't understand lane etiquette 😤

Hope you're OK, Bez.

I did a lot of walking with variously weighted backpacks while we were in London (DS completely missed my packing memo ) so my legs were very tired by the time we got back! Back to normal programming this evening with a really good class at the gym. I'm discovering the evening instructors are much better than the morning classes.

One of my members hurt her back last week, and then I did myself on Sunday doing some one-legged dumbell work, just before my class. gosh durnit! I didn't do myself any massive favours by teaching the class, but hey, the show must go on.
I have my three classes this week then a week off. I'll just take it real easy and dial back the physicality during my class. Easier said than done to be fair!

Thanks Roonetta, I'll look her up. I like that playlist kyse, I might borrow it!

Gym class today. It was very shoulder heavy so I hope I managed the weights OK and won't regret it. I'm going to that there London tomorrow for two days so I don't know if I'll get any proper exercise in but I'll definitely get a lot of steps! (Flying Ryanair so I'll end up walking about half way across the country just to get on the plane)

Days exercised 85.

30 min 80s spin (great playlist!)
20 min legs and glutes
Climbed a 9ft tree to rescue a kitten

I was planning a rest day today after another night out (I'm way too old to survive two nights out on the trot these days) but I've managed to walk 18,000 steps and I had an unexpected 30 mins in the sea so I'm going to count it!

Where did you find your band workout, Roonetta? I've a couple of trips over the summer and I was thinking throwing a band in my bag could be useful if I had time to do anything.

You're doing well, Kyse.

Yes, Roonetta, having to get out for a walk with the dog every day is good, but he's so slow! I usually do about 3km with him but it can take 45 minutes as he stops to sniff every blade of grass...

I took a rest day yesterday as I was feeling very achey after the classes and swimming. Back to an early class this morning, which sweated my hangover away.

83

I'm getting there slowly! Not very good at pacing and admitting I have chronic illnesses and probably should be less hard on myself

Got the bike in March last year and these are my numbers so far

Good effort @Kyse23

Had a good class last night, 3 members and one of the instructors came along too. I broke my Sensei a couple weeks ago, sadly. She is, like me, congenitally incapable of taking it easy. We were doing some completely hectic Muay Thai track and she twanged a groin doing the knee block. So she's dropped out of the class for now, a sore loss.

After two weeks of just one member in my Friday class, today I had none. One of my members (filthy traitor!) did BodyPump just before, but wasn't up for BodyCombat.

I did a bit of TKD and stretchin, then did some one-legged kettlebell and dumbell overhead presses. I'm counting it.

45 days.

20 min country pop spin
About to do 20 min weights - chest and back

I'm managing to do my Thursday, Friday and Sunday classes, and not much more, at the moment. Speaking of which, it's high time I packed in the work and got organised. I will use my (((new bike))) to go to the gym, perfect weather for it.

That sounds like a lot to manage kyse.

Class this morning. And since dh forgot he had a meeting, also a dog walk. And a dog walk this evening. The legs will be walked off me today...

Days exercised 82

Nothing for me yesterday or today. I have chronic illnesses and finding I'm struggling to work and exercise on the same days at the min!
Need to fit in a spin class, chest and back day and leg day at some point

Hope you're OK, Roonetta.

Pool swim at lunchtime. My watch is being annoying and has stopped counting my lengths so going by time I got in about 1km.

Days exercised 81.

Hard class today with lots of weights and squats.

Days exercised 80

So I did, Roonetta! What a nice surprise. Pool swim today. I don't tend to sea swim in the rain. It is lovely when in there but getting dressed afterwards is just like every failed family day out to the seaside of your childhood 😅the weather was too bad and/or water too choppy to go in over the weekend so I'm hoping to get down one evening if the weather forecast is right.
