New Yearathon 2018

[OublietteBravo]

It is very nearly 2018, so here is a thread to track your exercise goals.

It doesn't matter if you are new to exercise, or merely continuing your current regime. Everyone is welcome!

Bloody hell its hot here at a the moment (32 C). I’ve just done both levels of 6W6P - I had to use a towel midway through to dry myself off

(139/111; 114h 15min)

Today I actually caught myself thinking that 28C was pleasantly cool

Still a very sweaty exercise session: NMTZ

(140/110; 115h 05min)

I seem to have fallen off the exercise wagon.... and now away for a few days. July has not been a great month exercise-wise!!

So will make more of an effort for August. I've ordered a new DVD - the Jillian ones aren't great if you can't bend one of your knees (lots of squats and lunges in most of her combinations). Saw orthopaedic yesterday. Knee is doing well but he said to continue not bending it until end of September.

It’s so easy to fall off the wagon, isn’t it?

It must be frustrating waiting for your knee to get better.

Still hot here. Still making myself exercise. Cardio this evening: BFBM

(141/109; 115h 55min)

I’m having a mid-week rest day. It’s just too hot to exercise (it’s 8pm and still 32C)

I'm with you Oub. In London now and although it's not as hot as Athens, none of the buildings/houses are designed for this heat and it's just roasting inside....

My plans is to commence regular exercise 1st August when back home

Yesterday was crazy - it was 33C in my “air conditioned” office. Yep - hotter than outside

I did manage to exercise today. Just a short session: 6W6P L1. It’s supposed to be cooler from tomorrow onwards.

(142/108; 116h 30min)

A very pleasant 17C this morning. Abs: 6W6P L2

(143/107; 117h 00min)

Rest day yesterday. Strength today: NMTZ

(144/106; 117h 50min)

On target as far as number of hours goes, a little behind on number of days.

I dusted off some different DVDs this evening. Just done 30DS L1D1 & the cardio circuit from 1 Week Shred (which is brutal).

(145/105; 118h 50min)

50 mins resistance work with new Tracy Anderson DVD. Didn't really like it. Very hard to follow and just so cross I still can't bend my knee. It's so restrictive.
But at least I exercised....

153 days

Same combination as yesterday. Only sweatier!

(146/104; 119h 50min)

5km run plus some resistance work.

My whole body is aching after the Tracy Anderson DVD yesterday. And to think I didn't really feel like I'd worked out Muscles I have no clue how I worked then are hurting!!!

154 days

Back to abs: both levels of 6W6P.

(147/103; 120h 55min)

1 week shred

(148/102; 121h 30min)

Tracy Anderson design something or other L2. 50 mins of resistance work for whole body. Better than L1 but still boring...,

155 days

5km run

156 days

Plus some resistance work for bum, back and legs. So around 50mins-1 hour altogether I think.

Oh dear - the weekend didn't go well. Two rest days. Travelling to Yorkshire and back (360 mile round trip) every weekend really cuts into my exercise time. Bloody children!

Still hot & sticky. Nevertheless this evening I managed BFBM & 30DS L1.

(149/101; 122h 45min)

45 mins of resistance work for lower body, arms and abs

157 days

It’s still uncomfortably hot for exercising. I’m quite looking forward to the cooler weather promised for tomorrow.

A very sweaty 30DS L1 & 1WS - cardio.

(150/100; 123h 45min)

5km run. Didn't enjoy it at all! Was really pushing my way through it.

158 days

Hooray! It is only 24C today. Much more pleasant for exercising.

Both levels of 6W6P.

(151/99; 124h 50min)

A shorter session (need to pack - ferrying children around again tomorrow): 30DS L1

(152/98; 125h 15min)

L1 and L2 of Extreme Shed and Shred. About an hour.

159 days
