Thank you, @Comtesse . I'm annoyed at myself. Shall be taking things a bit easier.

Comtesse · 15/06/2026 20:55

Ooof @WearyAuldWumman that sounds nasty - keep looking after yourself, don’t rush anything….

Too scared to try Pilates or Body Balance at the moment. Have been trying gentle stretches at home. Scared to go onto the floor.

Went to the track and did my running homework: stretches, warm-up 6 X (90 seconds running followed by 120 seconds walking), stretches.

The 'running' might have been more of a waddle. 98

Yesterday 15 tai chi in the morning then 10 min HIIT in the evening.

That’s 20 days now when I’ve done more than 20 mins each day - an extra 5 mins a day is 35 mins a week which has got to be worth something, right?

I love seeing the variety of what people are doing. What is shesensu @MummyInTheNecropolis ? Not heard of that before!

It’s one of my favourite classes, kind of like a mix between aerobics, yoga and Pilates. This is how it’s described on the website: “Shesensu is an energetic mindful movement flow. It's afun & effective mixed movement class for all abilities. Shesensu has elements of yoga, dance, cardio and primal moves all in one workout.”

Only some walking today. 7,276 steps according to my phone. Tried to book appointment with osteopath but couldn't get through.

Muscle pull or whatever it is gets worse when I have to sit for a while (70 minute trip from Fife to Edinburgh and the same in reverse). Have used internal and external ibuprofen.
