NewYearathon - getting fitter in 2017.

[OublietteBravo]

A shiny new thread for a New Year.

Come and join us - whatever your exercise goal for 2017.

I finished off the week with 30DS L1D10 & 6W6P L2D5. On to level 2 of 30DS next.

(80h 45min; 104/146)

Hello all! I fell off the wagon a bit but am back. Went for a run on Monday and did 30DS level 3 badly today.

Glad I'm not the only one who keeps falling off the wagon!

30DS L2 done here, with 3 kg weights for the first two strength circuits: I had to go down to 2kg for the final one with the V-raises, which is the pits. I think I don't have any anterior deltoids. I haven't biked this week, except local pottering, but it's done nothing but rain so I'm going to cut myself some slack for that.

I've had a much better week than last week. I did 6W6P L1 this morning, which means I've managed to exercise for 8 days in a row for the first time in ages.

(81h 20min; 105/145)

I'm currently in gym doing a kb set followed by a Thai class probably followed by complete collapse.

I am not procrastinating between lifts. No sirree.

Well done Oubliette, 8 days is great.

I just ran to the gym and did a cardio boxing class. It poured rain on the run home so I'm considering PJs for the day after my shower!

And welcome back Peter and Stressy!

30DSL2 and Ballet Beautiful abs workout done. I'm going to stick with Shred level 2 this week, and then we're on holiday for half term week so I won't do anything while we're away (except maybe a bit of the ballet stuff, which doesn't need weights or a lot of space). I might face up to Bodyshred when I get back.

I'm thinking of taking the trx on holiday with me

Peter, stressy, a wee rest sometimes gives you renewed energy.

108/142 MMA circuits this morning - im worried I'm enjoying sitting knocking the stuffing out the dummy a wee bit too much!

Dh meanwhile is off running his first marathon!

Thanks all! How did your DH do RJ?

2k junior parkrun this morning (slow as running with 4 year old!) then 4K run on my own later.

3 hours 51!

Very proud.

Meanwhile I am building up to my 3k on the 4th...

Well done MrRJ!

Run later, 6k planned.

Woohoo well done to him .

That's a great marathon time - well done him!

I've moved up a level: 30DS L2D1. I'd forgotten how hard it is! I did half of 6W6P L1 as well.

I must've been pretty fit once upon a time - I used to do 2 levels of 30DS back-to-back. Not sure I fancy that at the moment.

(82h 05min; 106/144)

Oub, in my youth I was super fit (pre kids!). Also I had a lot more spare time .

5k run today.

I've ended up with an unplanned rest day and now I feel guilty. Mostly because I'm going straight out from work on Friday so I know I need it off.

I may be finding this a bit too addictive.

I had a rest day too RJ - although mine was planned.

Rest day here too - planned as I knew I wouldn't have time for exercise, I've only just finished for the day.

Stil JMing here .
Pre kids, throughout my 20s, I was a jog to the gym and back every day kinda gal...

Gym at lunchtime, some kettle bells, light weights and core work. The place was full of macho boys men egging each other on and the only other woman was on a cardio machine at the other end of the gym. I was much more interested in watching all the showboating and preening among themselves to be really focussed on what I was doing

NMTZ for me this evening. Gosh - it's really feeling warmer. I definitely need a shower.

(82h 55min; 107/143)

9.5 mile run. Mostly uphill but only gradual so counts as 10 miles. 5 miles next week then 12 week after (as long runs on my half plan). Should be able to run a half race but will need to consider fuelling - had a decent lunch admittedly with a half of beer (we're on holiday!) and definitely needed my emergency fruit paw prints at about 8 miles. Might stick with them as they're easy! And I have access.

30DS L2 and Ballet Beautiful inner thigh workout done. Much warmer here too.

blodynmawr, I was a complete exercise avoider all through my 20s - started cycling to work when I hit 30. I don't really feel I missed out on anything through that decade of inactivity - I think wistfully of it from time to time!

Kettlebell fitness. Working hard, I did a fair bit of the class with the 24kg bell. Just not presses. Yet.

I did no exercise until after I was 30. I walked I suppose.

30DS L2D2 & 6W6P L1D1.
