Juneathon 2016 - anyone want to join us?

Basic premis: try to do 30 min exercise every day in June.

Any kind of exercise: walking, running, swimming, climbing, dancing, circuits - the choice is yours!

From experience, every day can be a bit much. So feel free to join in even if you don't think you can manage this. Last year I aimed for 5 days per week, which worked well for me.

If you want to start before June, there is a thread here

Evil abs circuit is never on my early morning to do list.

I didn't get out for a run but I did 3.5hrs of digging in and edging a new flower bed instead.

Totally forgot to post yesterday - didn't forget to exercise though: Killer Abs L1.

The sports centre beside us just unveiled a new class schedule so I decided to try the circuits class tonight. Holy god.

OublietteBravo · 19/09/2016 22:57

You're braver than me Kanye!

I did 6W6P L1.

6W6P L1

Shall I start an Octoberton thread? Maybe see if we can encourage some more people to join us? Perhaps with a 'no need to wait until the new year to make a resolution to exercise more' theme?

Good idea Oubliette. I've had a migraine and associated hangover for the last 2 days, so hoping to be back doing something tomorrow.

OublietteBravo · 22/09/2016 20:18

OK - I'll start a new thread at the weekend.

In the meantime I'm still continuing in my usual pattern: Killer Abs L1.

Dh went away a day earlier than planned so didn't get to evil circuits tonight phew. Did a short YouTube thing instead

OublietteBravo · 23/09/2016 19:58

6W6P L1 done.

(217/83)

Which means I'm out of excuses and have to go and sort out bedrooms - my parents and sister arrive tomorrow.

A god awful 20mins on the treadmill. I hate it so much I couldn't bear to do anymore. Lovely 16yo next door is coming in for an hour tomorrow afternoon so can get out for a plod. Ds will be thrilled, he's totally in love with her Smile

Hope the room sorting went well. I'm trying to move my home office into the box room. Unfortunately I can't find anywhere else in the house to dump all the crap.

OublietteBravo · 24/09/2016 08:10

I got up and exercised this morning - Killer Abs L1.

Still more room sorting to go - not really how I want to spend my birthday.

Happy birthday! I hope you have something much nicer than bedroom.sorting planned for this evening 🎂

I did 5km... outside in the rain.

KanyesVest · 26/09/2016 21:49

Rest day yesterday. Circuits tonight. Already sore.

KanyesVest · 27/09/2016 15:22

I got out for a 30 min run at lunchtime. Dh is out later, so it was an unexpected chance to do something today.

OublietteBravo · 28/09/2016 20:25

I had a bit of a blip. My parents/sister were staying and it disrupted my routine.

Sunday/Monday: rest days
Tuesday: Killer Abs L1 (219/81)
Today: 6W6P L2 (220/80)

Off to start an Octoberthon thread now...

How very rude of visitors to spoil your routine Grin hope you had a lovely time with them.

Just in the door from a 7.5km walk with a friend.

OublietteBravo · 29/09/2016 19:48

This evening I've done Killer Abs L1.

I've also just noticed that it is properly dark here. I miss light evenings and the clocks haven't even changed yet

I know, the dark evening come in so quickly when the kids go back to school. I had the fire lighting at the weekend, which makes it even harder to get out for a run!

I did a body tone circuits class tonight. I had sweat literally dripping off me, which is disgusting has never happened before. Expecting pain tomorrow!

OublietteBravo · 30/09/2016 21:06

How are you feeling today Kanye - sore or OK?

I finished off September with 6W6P L1. I'm a little behind on my target for 2016. I need to average 26 days a month to get to 300 days. Hopefully still attainable.

I am almost immobile oubliette Blush I was counting it up today, I think I did about 200 squats and 100 lunges with a light barbell. I only got about 3 hours sleep last night which hasn't helped me feel less sorry for myself. I'll go for a plod tomorrow which will hopefully shake me out a bit.

No doubt you'll crush your target. You're invincible! 💪
