That sounds like a perfect day today @MotherForkinShirtBalls
A walk along the beach 😍

38 ✔️
Did my long run yesterday, then strength class this morning.
I think I'm going to have an 'easy' week with the workouts this week.
I'm going skiing next week, so I am flat out busy and stressed in work. But on top of that, I feel like I'm having a flare with my arthritis. Things just don't feel 'right' today.
It's not pain as such, but all the recognisable feelings of hot fingers, numb foot, tingling leg. I think I'm going to use this and work as an excuse to do less this week!

Event went well, Florence, thanks but I was (am) completely wiped out after it. The intensity floored me so I had no energy or motivation to do anything when I got back yesterday. I took this morning off and had a nice walk on the beach and did a punishing legs class at the gym. Now that they have remembered squats they are putting them in everywhere!

Nice tshirt paws!

Hope you have a better week Bez.

Boxercise Monday and mobility plus BodyCombat today, 20. I really fell of the wagon with a stupid cold and heavy work week. BC felt horrendous but I just cheated my way through, resisting all temptation to go nuts. Had a nice chat after class with lovely Anna Sensei.

Thanks Florence. I was feeling very sorry for myself yesterday! Today was a little less hectic (work event for the next few days so everyone who has been driving me bonkers about it was travelling and incommunicado) and I managed to get to a class at the gym early and do 18k steps running around the venue. Tomorrow will be a write off, hopefully I might get something squeezed in on Saturday.

Chest, triceps and shoulders at lunch
Quick 5k while DS was at footy

florenceandthemac · 07/02/2024 22:24

Oh @MotherForkinShirtBalls ☹️
I hate weeks like that, but maybe look at the positives, you're resting your glutes! (Also I've noticed I get DOMS for 4 days now rather than the 2 it used to be! My hams were like that all of last week.

33 ✔️
Did back, biceps and core on my lunch yesterday.
Today I did a 6k run at lunch, then a hamstring workout, 30 minutes rowing machine and a Pilates class this evening. Love Wednesdays.
Trying to do what I can this week as next week will be trickier for time, then the week after we are away skiing for a week and I'll do nothing but ski and drink

I'm having a horrible week. Dh is away and I've a massive work project so I really need to let off steam but not finding time easily. I managed to block off an hour for a kickboxing class yesterday but it was cancelled at the last minute. I did a very short run while walking the dog this morning so I'm counting it!

(And my quads are still agony after Monday's squats! I haven't had doms this bad in years 😬)

Thanks @florenceandthemac 😊

Hope you are feeling better now Bez

Well done paws!

It's coming up to the time of year when I get green with envy about your lovely sea swims Motherforkin (although I'm sure they don't always feel 'lovely' at minus something degrees 🥶).

My favourite part of your workout is the "restful sleep" Pilates florence. Sounds right up my street.

Switched it up today with a Caroline Girvan full body workout 🥵

@MotherForkinShirtBalls 😂
I hate squats these days so I don't envy you!

Missed my usual strength class this morning as my legs were sore
Just done a hamstring, core and shoulders workout but I'm gutted I missed that class.
Followed it with a ten minute 'restful sleep' Pilates session so I could stretch well

BezMills · 05/02/2024 20:02

Haha I can strongly relate to "did them all"!

Yesterday was a rest day. I met a friend and had my first sea dip in months. It was so cold but fantastic. Managed 14 minutes which was a lot longer than I expected.

Very tough s&c class this evening. I was thinking over the weekend that we hadn't done squats in a while so we did them all.

Ooof what a Sunday session @PawsisShady
Well done 👏🏽

Paw2024 · 04/02/2024 12:51

20 min full body strength, I think they were attempting to kill me off. One of those days where the weights felt so heavy

First bit was 3 sets of
Dumbbell squats (weights on shoulders)
Push press
Chest press

florenceandthemac · 04/02/2024 12:42

Really feel for you @BezMills I hate how illness sets us back in our training.

Just done a ten miler with run club

BezMills · 04/02/2024 10:12

Mobility Tuesday and today (18)

I've had a snotty head cold all week, that not quite sick enough to call in sick but generally bleugh kind of cold

sad eyes of my Hevy app showing 9 days since I last did weights

florenceandthemac · 03/02/2024 20:54

Well done @roonetta

Jeepers, Florence that's fairly hard-core counting 2 hours skiing as a rest day!

S&c class this morning and c25k with ds.

OP posts:
florenceandthemac · 03/02/2024 14:34

Rest day today. I do have a two hour skiing session later and my hamstrings are still tight 🫣
But definitely will benefit from no real exercise today as I've got a 10 mile run in the morning

Thanks Florence, we'll see how it actually pans out!

Swimming today.

Good luck with the 10k training @MotherForkinShirtBalls!
I have one in March!

That's annoying @BezMills, I hate it when my plan is thrown off!
Did you manage anything else?

I managed 30 minutes on the rowing machine before getting my DS.
Really missed my Friday strength class but I think my hamstrings were grateful for the rest. They're killing me from Wednesday's session.
