Exercise every day 2018

Anyone up for tracking some exercise every day in 2018?

I currently do yoga and bootcamp classes at the gym and stopped running in September due to an injury (but not injured any more!)

I don't drive so walk everywhere. I wouldn't count walking as exercise unless I went further/faster on purpose, but willing to count say 20 mins easy yoga so that I don't burn out with intense exercise every day.

I'm hoping the streak will appeal to the my obsessive nature and mean that I push myself to do more this year.

Anyone else up for it? Grin

I need this thread! I have a sedantry lifestyle given half a chance....I weighed myself and I'm 9stone so I need to lose 12lbs. I'm 41 this year and weight doesn't drop off me like it used to 10 years ago.

My goal is to fit into my all saints jeans again, I can just about do them up but it's not a pretty sight. I had fab legs and bum when Dh met me and I'd like to get back to that.

I've done davina fit in 15 cardio & legs today, I really need a floor based bums & tums routine, I do quite well with those. Fit in 15's is plank based and my lower back won't let me do those.

So, any good bums & tums routines?. Preferably on YouTube Grin

I've managed a 40 mins dog walk today.
Not going to manage anything to as have a a 13 hour shift
Hope everyone has done well today

Mrsjosh that is epic!

MrsJoshDun · 15/02/2018 21:31

Thanks. My arse aches now. Grin

Fluffycloudland77 · 16/02/2018 13:46

I've done davina 15, cardio and legs plus a YouTube Xfit 15 mins legs bums and tums.

The legs/bum was a good workout but still searching for a good ab workout.

Bestbees · 16/02/2018 18:58

Fluffy i did a 10 minute barre abs on youtube which was killer.

4k run today. Lots of walking around london tomorrow with friend and will try and sneak in a few 1 minute planks!

Fluffycloudland77 · 16/02/2018 19:02

I have a mantlepiece, I could use it as a barre.

My spines excessively curved at the base so some floor exercises are out.

Thank you Smile

Tsotofamily · 17/02/2018 14:27

1 hour and 10 mins of walking - 55mins with dogs and quick 15 mins before my son's football match started whilst they were warming up

MrsJoshDun · 17/02/2018 14:33

Did park run today, 2mins off my PB.

Fluffycloudland77 · 17/02/2018 14:50

Davinas fit in 15 cardio, legs workout & an Xfit YouTube buns & tuns workout. Will look for a barre workout tomorrow.

I had alcohol last night & found the workouts harder today.

Tsotofamily · 17/02/2018 17:40

Well done MrsJoshDun, have you been doing park runs for long? That's my aim for the summer once I've started c25k again.

Has anyone got a fitbit? Looking for new friends to do challenges with

MrsJoshDun · 17/02/2018 19:00

Was my third park run.

Only lost 0.5kg in the least week which makes me sad.

Bestbees · 18/02/2018 12:46

Still a loss mrsjosh. Maybe measure your waist and see if that changes as you get fitter.

Lots of walking yesterday. Run tonight.

MrsJoshDun · 18/02/2018 14:02

Yeah my PT tells me to go by measurements not weight but I keep forgetting to buy a tape measure. He reckons I’m looking thinner and my clothes feel looser. Have noticed my arms and legs are looking thinner.

Did 45 mins of free weights today, 30 min fast uphill walking on treadmill then a 30 min core class.

Fluffycloudland77 · 18/02/2018 16:18

15 minute Davinas cardio, half a bums and tums workout because Dh came home & we went for a half hour walk in the woods.

whatsthegame · 19/02/2018 13:10

I'd love to join this!! Is it too late to start from today? I've just been to the gym today and am thinking what I can do the rest of the week.

Sorry if this has been asked before but would you suggest yoga or Pilates? Which is better? Could I do both or would it be better to replace one with a different exercise. I'm not great at motivating myself so I think would have to go to classes rather than follow YouTube.

I'd also love to swim every other day or so! I'm really excited !

Tsotofamily · 19/02/2018 14:55

Hi and welcome whatsthegame. I've just recently joined too, building up slowly but really looking forward to getting back into it. Swimming is the one thing i love but just don't seem to have time to go atm. Hopefully when youngest starts playgroup I will make time for it even if its just once a week for now.

Schools closed today due to boiler breaking down so got kids out on a quick walk with dogs for about 30 mins and have done a 10 min jump workout. Eldest Has dance later so I will take dogs out again for a longer walk whilst waiting around for her

Bestbees · 19/02/2018 17:11

Welcome whats. I much prefer yoga, but why not try a bit of both to see what you like? Cant see it being a problem to do both!

Plan for today is some hiit youtube thing then yoga.

Fluffycloudland77 · 19/02/2018 17:57

Try both yoga and Pilates & see which you prefer, it's easier to do things you like.

I did a Davina 15m cardio but nothing else. Been to work today though & normally I'd veg out all night.

Tsotofamily · 19/02/2018 20:26

Got out again for 50 mins dog walk and ive got my daily step target for today

MrsJoshDun · 19/02/2018 21:12

6k hill run today.

Tsotofamily · 19/02/2018 21:39

What does everyone have for breakfast, I'm looking for something quick and easy on days I have work. I've only recently started eating breakfast these past few months before i would skip it all together

Bestbees · 19/02/2018 21:46

I do 5:2 so dont have breakfast two days if the week. If it is the day after fast day i have one of the following: overnight oats with fruit/nuts/seeds, peanut butter on toast, avo on toast, mushroom omlette, eggs on toast, poached eggs and avo. All are fast, even a mushroom omlette takes less than 5 mins!
