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 was just wondering who that was and has she (he?) been lurking and counting her exercise days!

SophieLion · 12/07/2020 09:22

Strength for abs and butt and then a Cat Meffan yoga flow.

We're away next week so anticipate no exercise again until next weekend. Hopefully the treadmill will be fixed by then.

@SophieLion

I was thinking about a swap but not much point when I out myself on my first post Grin

Rest day for me, most I did was a swim in the sea with the DC. It was the coldest I've ever felt!

Have a lovely holiday, Sophie.

Weights this morning. I was the only one on the online class so I couldn't slack off at all.

Days exercised 149.

KB&T L3 and 30DS L1 (65 min). Slightly earlier in the evening than usual because DD and her friend are cooking dinner. I wonder what we’re having...

I hope your dinner is less hazardous than mine, Oubliette...I knelt down to get something from a low cupboard when my knee exploded in a fiery ball of pain Sad came out of absolutely nowhere, I went for a run at lunchtime and it was fine. I'll be having a few days' rest I think...

Ouch! That sounds worrying. I hope resting it will help.

It smells like we’re getting a full English breakfast.

Breakfast for dinner sounds amazing.

I had an unplanned rest day yesterday - mostly because the kids were spread over the living room floor playing a complicated board game.

It’s warm this evening, so I just did a short strength session: NMTZ (50 min)

Hello, am Back but too tired and lethargic to do any exercise. Tomorrow!!

How is your knee MotherForkin? That sounds very painful Thanks

How lovely that your DC/ms are playing a board game Oubliette Smile I need to play board games with mine in order to referee....

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 18/07/2020 17:55

How was your holiday, Sophie?

My knee gave an unmerciful crack as I sat down last night and now it's fine Confused I've no idea what happened! I'd been icing it and resting which obviously did no harm. I tried a low impact barre class today which was good for a change. I had a bit of an ache in my knee but it felt more like it was bruised than properly damaged, if that makes sense. Either way, fingers crossed!

Days exercised 152.

SophieLion · 18/07/2020 19:06

Dragged myself into the garden for a yoga session once the sun had gone down. Feeling much better and much more energised.

Ouch the crack sounds painful too MotherForkin. Wonder what you did to it.... holiday was lovely, thanks. Not sure how long I'll
Stay in athens now though as it's so hot.

You're back with a bang Sophie Grin

Unplanned rest day yesterday. Weights this morning. It's a week since my last class and I could really feel missing the few days. But my swimming pool reopens today! I'm so excited, I'm going for a leisurely swim at lunch. Can't wait to be back in the water!

Well yes MotherForkin because I'm probably going to leave again next week so won't be exercising so thought I would get in as much as I can this week!!
How was your swim?

5km run and strength for abs and butt

Days exercised 162

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 21/07/2020 19:10

Ah, that makes sense. Shame you can't exercise when you're away.

Swim was fantastic. I wasn't sure i was going to make it to the end of the fifth length but by 10 it felt great so I did a leisurely 40.

Short run this morning.

SophieLion · 22/07/2020 08:20

One hour of cardio and strength for butt and abs. Feeling rather wrecked now.

Shortened weights session this morning. I'm meeting a friend for a socially distant 5k this evening.
