@WinterFrogs hello! Cheesy walking videos on YouTube are brilliant, I must see if I can manage some of that.

Hello @FurForksSake ! And everyone else!
In an attempt to do regular exercise I would love to join you all.

I have done some walking exercise classes on youtube but I am hoping the thread will help me be more accountable.

Easy peasy Pilates for me today and about a million errands to be done this afternoon.

@BezMills it’s the long game. I sometimes wonder if the ability to overcome the crappy week and be confident next week will be different is the muscle that most needs training.

True facts! I'm trying to get to the gym today but it's looking a bit juggly already.

I've had such a blorchy week. Haven't made it to the gym or done anything really. Been in a bit of a mump all round. Lots of comfort food - and had a few beers too, which isn't exactly helping!

My friend lovely Anna Sensei tried to lure me to join in the Crossfit Open but that was a quick and firm "nope"! Idk maybe if I'd had a better week... but also I'm kind of not into the Open. People say it's the best bit of crossfit but not for me!

We all have weeks like that, and it's easy to get despondent.

20min video last night of “tabata abs” (no I don’t know either!).

Previously that would have had me huffing and puffing and looking like a beetroot - but instead felt a bit glowy, it helped my filthy mood and that was about it.

This is what progress feels like, right?

Definitely!

Tabata is from Japan and is aiui based on multiple short intense intervals, like 50s on 10s off or the like.

Oh wait. Just checked the forecast and it’s changed from partly sunny to rain today until 3ish which is a bit late for the Pentlands 😭

New thread! I’ll start my count with this one.

Thursday I went to Mind and Pump classes. Yesterday was a day off, though I did end up walking an extra hour because my car was in for its MOT and the walk home/back is 30 mins each way.

Today I’m going to Lift class this morning and then (because we FINALLY have some decent weather) DH and I are heading to the Pentlands this afternoon for a leg stretch. The snow is starting to melt from the hills up north so I’m hoping to be able to get back into Munro bagging in a few weeks.

Saturday weigh in and I’m down 1.8lbs. I was up 0.2lbs last week which I think was water retention, so the 1.8lbs is really over two weeks. Puts me at 1.6lbs overweight. So close to not overweight!

1 & 2

Just posting that I made 27 today...otherwise I'll forget in this new thread.

Apologies for being the starter, I saw we were on thread 999 and it needed doing quickly so the link could be shared!

This is a second thread for exercisers, a supportive place to share your fitness journey. Thread followers often post their number, this could be for the month or the year and a way of keeping track of the number of sessions they’ve done. Perhaps there is a goal and a reward, perhaps it’s just a way of tracking and encouraging. Whatever the reason, whatever the goal, you’ll find chat and support her. Not a competitive group, we are all exercising at our own levels and sharing the ups and the downs of trying to lead an active life.
