Exercising into a new decade - AKA New Year-athon 2020

[OublietteBravo]

Happy New Year! I’m starting a nice shiny new thread to keep track of my 2020 exercise goals. Please feel free to join me.

My goals are:

1. To do some exercise on at least 250 days during 2020;
2. To do at least 200 hours of exercise.

I got up very early yesterday to get a run before my work thing started but I stupidly checked my email first and I ended up stuck in that mire instead. It was a super long day so didn't get anything done later.

Today dd and I went for a run. We did lots of sprints... I'm dead!

Congrats on getting to 100 Sophie !

Days exercised 90

Thank you MotherForkin and how frustrating to get up early especially to exercise and then not manage it. It sounds like you made up for it with today's session though!!!!

S&c this morning. I dug out my weights yesterday (8kg hand weights and a 12kg kettle bell) so I'm going to start using them more in the sessions.

Dd enjoyed our run so much yesterday she asked if we can do it again. My legs won't thank her!

Days exercised 91

I had a “rest” day yesterday. But having hand-planed 0.5 cm off a door I really ache today (I can open the door with the rug in situ - which is surprisingly exciting). I painted all the woodwork except the door - that will have to wait until next weekend. The before and after photos show that 3 weekends worth of DIY have actually had an effect.

Wow!!! What a difference Oubliette! The room is so bright and cheery now. A nice place to work I would imagine. Congrats!!

Nice you have a running partner MotherForkin. If I was allowed to run outside then I would definitely go running with my DCs too. Unfortunately it's only one at a time on the treadmill!

I'm having a rest day today and really enjoying it

It’s a much nicer place to work. Although I’m definitely not as productive at home as I am in the office.

I switched to a new level of Ri30 (L4D1) and then did the evil cardio circuit from 1 Week Shred. Which is apparently only 60 minutes in total.

(90/160; 90h 05min)

7km run plus strength for abs, arms and underbutt.

Days exercised: 101

Your new office looks lovely, Oubliette.

Mobility flow and cycle with the kids today. And amazing home made pizza for dinner to undo all the good

Days exercised 91.

One hour flow yoga plus strength for arms and back, abs and butt.

Days exercised : 102

I had an unintended rest day yesterday. Lockdown seems to be really bad for my motivation. April really hasn’t been a good exercise month for me. This evening I did 30DS L2D9 and KB&T L3D6 (65 min).

(91/159; 91h 10min)

S&c this evening. 8pm really is too late for me, I've no energy or motivation for a class at that hour. It was miserable, cold rain all day so I couldn't get out for a run. Here's hoping tomorrow is better.

Days exercised 92.

HIIT today: L4 and L2 of ripped in 30. Was going to do L3 but didn't fancy the frost strength circuit in the thighs. Had forgotten L2 has 2 mins cardio in plank

Hope you both feel more motivated today and that weather improves.

Days exercised : 102

Correction : 103 days exercised

Mobility flow this morning. I'm aching after it! And a cycle with the dc between the showers.

Days exercised 93.

A quick cardio session: BFBM (50 min)

(92/158; 92h 00min)

Vinyasa flow yoga plus strength for arms, abs and butt.

Days exercised : 104

I made the mistake of tell my trainer that I dug out some weights. S&c this morning was hard. I'm going to be in a lot of pain tomorrow!

In good news, it has just been announced that our 2km exercise limit has been increased to 5km from Monday so I'll be just able to get to my hill run! Happy Friday everyone.

Days exercised 94

I nearly had a rest day, but I didn’t. I got changed into my kit and did a full session. 30DS L3D9 & KB&T L3D7 (65 min)

(93/157; 95h 05min)

My usual Saturday abs session: both levels of 6W6P (65 min)

(94/156; 94h 10min)

40 mins strength for abs, butt and arms. I wanted to run too but we went biking instead. Will have to run tomorrow.

Good news that you can do your hill runs again MotherForkin

Days exercised: 105

7km fartlek run

I actually exercised on a Sunday. Which is definitely not normal. 30DS L1D10 & KB&T L3D8 (65 min)

(95/155; 95h 15min)

Bank holiday weekend here so I give myself both Saturday and Sunday off. 'Twas the height of luxury . But because every day feels the same in lockdown, my S&c class was on this morning and lots of weights again.

Days exercised 95

Lovely sunny day so I'm planning to spending the day in the garden.

Hope you both enjoyed the bank holiday weekend and good that the weather was nice for you.

Today 40mins yoga plus strength for abs, arms (triceps and back) and butt

I was up at cock crow to get my hill run this morning! It was hard but so nice. And I've just finished mobility flow, so I'm set for the day
