@Imfreetofeelgood I loved the LBT class, there isn't one anywhere locally at the moment. I did Pilates yesterday which definitely hits some spots. You feel muscles you didn't realise you had. Yesterday it was weird bits in my quads and my hip flexors that got killed. As well as the old front abs (was shaking like anything in some of the ab poses towards the end).

Monday - bugger all

Tuesday - 4.5 mile dog walk
Wednesday - Legs, Bums and Tums class (death by a 1000 squats and lunges) and pilates class.

I ran my usual 5km loop. It was cold and wet and windy. And I don’t know my time because I didn’t manage to stop my watch at the end. Pretty sure it was under 30 mins though - as I was already sitting in the changing room when I spotted that the timer was still going at 30 min 23 sec.

Fair play @MotherForkinShirtBalls life's too short to do fitness stuff that is no fun

The steps were as a result of dog being back on all 4 feet and I had a late meeting yesterday so since I hadn't had time to stop a lunch I walked there and home. I needed the fresh air!

Clinical pilates sounds like a great idea Florence. I used to do a class with a physio when my hip problem was bad and it was really helpful.

S&c this morning. I've realised that while the kickboxing class is amazing cardio I don't actually really like it so I'm not going it make myself do it any more.

That sounds frustrating @BezMills about the body combat class 😒
Great work this week everyone.
22k steps is a great day!

I cancelled my Friday strength class as I was out late with work, plus also I had awful DOMS in my quads from Tuesday. Walking was a struggle...
Had a physio session yesterday, she thinks I have piriformis syndrome, causing some of the issues I was actually putting down to my psoriatic arthritis. She's invited me to try clinical Pilates this morning, so she can see how I move unilaterally, so I'm off to that now

Imfreetofeelgood · 23/03/2024 07:24

MotherForkinShirtBalls - yes I'd absolutely be counting 22k steps! I was chuffed when I hit 20k the other day - but that was deliberate dog walking as exercise - I'd never get it day to day. Can someone explain what WWL means please?

Sounds like a good start to the gym, imfree.

I've managed to walk 22k steps today so I'm counting it.

Yes @Imfreetofeelgood great work

@NC03 nice one

Imfreetofeelgood · 22/03/2024 19:07

Lazy day yesterday - though I did attend my gym induction, and did some rowing and cycling afterwards, seeing as I was there. Today - 50 x25m swim. I'm getting a bit faster. I feel great after swimming - I've whizzed through my housework 😊

NC03 · 22/03/2024 10:48

30 min sing a long ride

BezMills · 22/03/2024 06:55

Thanks guys! Another week of not getting much done for me. I had to bail on Pilates on Wednesday due to stupid work meetings.
Last night's BodyCombat wasn't cancelled due to lovely Anna Sensei being sick, they put on a video class instead.
For some reason I'm not interested in turning up and exercising to a video, in a class that I used to teach! Some of the older ladies have said they'd like it if I came to the video classes so that there would be an instructor there to keep an eye on them. Yeah well, I'm not an instructor any more am I, they need to talk to the gym about that lol. I guess I'm still a tiny bit salty about that whole thing...

roonetta · 21/03/2024 16:53

Wow florence don't be despondent, you do loads! It is frustrating when you can't do as much as you want but you are laps in front of most people Star

2 mile WWL done ✅

Fabulous update on your class @BezMills 👏🏽 Made up for you. You must be so happy

Everyone's doing really well, lots of mojo in here.
50 ✔️
Did a full body strength session yesterday then Pilates last night.
I'm not at my usual activity levels, which gets me down. I'm also out on a work thing straight from work today so no workouts today 😞
Hope everyone has a good day

I'm with you on the influence of the weather Imfree. Mind you, I'm taking any excuse at the moment 😬

Mega stress work day so I only had time for a short run but it burned off some of the cortisol which I needed.

Imfreetofeelgood · 20/03/2024 20:22

3.5 mile dog walk and 1 hr pilates class today. The dark sky and rain, affected my motivation a bit.

roonetta · 20/03/2024 10:56

Oops misread who posted! Blush Nice work Imfree!!! 😂

roonetta · 20/03/2024 10:55

Monday - pilates class, Tuesday 6.5 mile and 2 mile dog walks. BezMills - if you can motivate a teenage girl, you can motivate anyone 😁

That's great, Bez, well done. All your hard work is paying off.

We have a run of long weekends between St Patrick's day just gone (Sunday, so Monday off too), good Friday (not a bank holiday, but I get it off work) and Easter Monday, Roonetta. And we have a family gathering the following weekend so I've a lot of incentive to clear the crap!

Short run today. Dog is limping so my step count has fallen off a cliff while he is resting.
