Pilates class this morning and went to be beaten up by the osteopath. My hip is easing a bit so maybe T25 is helping.

Sorry you're injured, Buffy - hope you recover quickly.

Good that you're feeling the benefit Professor.

S&c early today to make sure I didn't miss it.

Rest day for exams tomorrow 😫

Swim plus BodyCombat yesterday. Had visitors from that Scotland so had an absolute skinful on Weds evening. BodyCombat was horrendous lol.
Swam today, choppy with a strong current.

Yoga, T25 stretch and skating lesson with DD today.

I sympathise, BezMills: I went to the theatre with two old friends on Thursday night, so had wine with dinner and at the interval and a glass of wine after the play (and therefore a late night!) and didn’t feel exactly in top form on Friday morning. It was a great evening, though.

Good luck, MotherForkin!

30 min 2000s spin
5 min cool down

Trying to add a 5 min cool down to every ride to extend my exercise time slightly so I can then build back to 45 min rides

ProfessorRadcliffeEmerson · 23/06/2024 08:46

T25 total body circuit done - week 3 is under way. There are some evil push-up moves in this one.

BezMills · 23/06/2024 10:37

BodyCombat this morning in Edinburgh, after a serious night out (30 years uni reunion). Just what the doctor ordered! 92

roonetta · 24/06/2024 07:51

I forgot to post last week.

Wednesday - 3 mile WWL
Saturday- 2 mile WWL

Can't seem to summon up any more motivation than this at the moment 😐

BezMills · 24/06/2024 08:56

@roonetta motivation does seem to vary a lot for me too. Two things a week is still a good amount, you're doing fine

Any amount is better than no amount, Roonetta.

I was absolutely shattered yesterday so only walked the dog, despite great intentions otherwise. Early s&c this morning to get me going.

T25 Speed 1.0 - couldn’t face getting out of bed in time to do it this morning and was punished for it, because it was absolutely boiling when I got home from work! I was a fetching shade of beetroot by the end. Really must get up for the rest of this week’s sessions.

roonetta, I really sympathise on the motivation. Mine went completely AWOL last year. At least you’re doing some walking, I was managing a few minutes of yoga at bedtime on a good day.

Swim for me

Looks lovely, spikeandbuffy!

T25 lower focus done. Tomorrow is cardio so I absolutely have to crawl out of bed and do it or I’ll probably have heatstroke.

spikeandbuffy · 25/06/2024 09:02

The hill up to it was a killer, I must have stopped about 20 times BlushGrin

BezMills · 25/06/2024 09:28

love the username @spikeandbuffy , welcome!

Didn't swim yesterday, despite the water being perfect. I'll freely admit I was in a bit of a slump after a big weekend up in Edinburgh with my old uni friends - getting up at 4am to catch the airport bus on Monday didn't help!

Boxercise last night, had two espressos just to perk me up beforehand. We had a good class, missing a few regulars who had a big weekend at the IoW festival. 93

hehe I have difficulty following name changes, but that's a me problem tbf.

ProfessorRadcliffeEmerson · 27/06/2024 07:00

Forgot to post yesterday. T25 cardio and ab intervals now done - that’s week 3 of Alpha finished. Two weeks and I’m supposed to switch to Beta, which frankly scares me. I may do an extra week of Alpha, which would take me neatly to the end of DD’s term.

Work and a migraine enforced two rest days. S&c was a bit of a slog today, I always feel hungover after a migraine.
