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 did some cardio hiit today.

Hope you had a lovely holiday Oubliette.

Days exercised 180

Hi everyone,I'm on my new diet I started 12 days ago I've lost 10 pounds, I've been excise,biking,walking,watching youtube vidio and doing 20min in the Moring and 20 at night. Has anyone tried the EGG DIET! I'm on my second day today my doctor said to do it for a week as I'm a big ish lady I've been eating eggs ,veg salda and loads of watter and only lost 2 pounds in 2 days. Has anyone else tried it I dont snack or anything

Pt this morning. The session wasn't quite as vomit inducing as last week.

Days exercised 181.

Hi @katey2020 - never tried the egg diet. I don't diet as a rule but just try to eat as healthily as I can. The exercise is obviously working for you though; 10lbs off in 12 days is awesome!

Glad the PT was better this time round MotherForkin

BR WO6 done today. Think WO6 is my favourite so far.

Hello Katey2020! Are you going to join our thread? The more, the merrier! No, I haven't tried the egg diet but I do eat quite a
Lot of eggs because I love them. Good luck with the diet!

5kM run (didn't enjoy at all - my legs felt like sacks of potatoes) plus a bit of strength for abs and arms/back.

Days exercised 193

Finally found my motivation again. It didn’t hurt as much as I thought it might. KB&T L1 and 30DS L2 (65 min)

(169/81; 169h 15min)

@katey2020 - I can’t advise on the diet front. I only have enough willpower for exercise or diet - I choose exercise!

Respect for getting right back to it with double JM Oubliette. I don't think I will ever be able to do any of her workouts back to back!

20 minute walk with Leslie while our work systems were down this morning and BR cardio 2 done.

@roonetta - I definitely ache a bit after yesterday. I suppose that is to be expected! Cardio: BFBM (50 min)

(170/80; 170h 05min) I definitely ache a bit after yesterday. I suppose that is to be expected! Cardio: BFBM (50 min)

(170/80; 170h 05min)

5kM interval run plus strength for abs, arms and butt

Days exercised 194

Lots of arm weights today.

Days exercised 182.

BR WO5 done for the last time! Whoop!!

I’m feeling tired today. My cardio fitness level hasn’t dropped, but my muscles ache so much more after taking a break. KB&T L1 and 30DS L2 (65 min)

(171/79; 171h 10min)

45 mins yoga for stretching and flexibility (much needed!) plus Strength for arms/back, abs and butt - i'm doing 3 of lily sabri's challenges.

195 days

Swimming today. I was trying out my new watch but managed to set it to running rather than swimming 🤦‍♀️

Days exercised 183.

Unplanned rest day yesterday. KB&T L1 and 30DS L2 (65 min) this morning.

(172/78; 172h 15min)

I’d quite like to go swimming - but our pool is still shut.

Hope your muscle aches are improving @OublietteBravo.

Lily Sabri is hard core. Well done for doing three of those @SophieLion!

BR wo6 done. Cardio tomorrow and I’m half way through!!

Hill run this morning. It must be a month since I did it. It felt it.

Days exercised 184

You made me laugh with the watch MotherForkin - that's exactly the kind of thing I would do!!

7km run today. Felt so wrecked afterwards that couldn't do any strength/toning.

196 days

One hour of various lilly sabri for abs, arms, back and butt. Some of her latest abs workouts have such tough exercises. She really comes up with interesting combinations. I have/had diastasis recti after my last pregnancy and lilly is totally sorting it out!!

Dates exercised 197

Run and a short weights complex this morning.

I have low grade DR after my last baby too, Sophie. Are there any particular videos of hers you'd recommend?

Days exercised 185

Couldn’t face Jillian’s cardio today so did a 5 mile “Walk with Leslie”. Fitbit tells me I burnt 524 calories 😊

BR WO7 done. Surprised myself by being able to do proper crow pushups. All this working out is having some benefits 😀

Rest day yesterday (planned). KB&T L2 and 30DS L3 (65 min) this evening. Feeling achy - I strongly suspect this is linked to washing my car yesterday.

(173/77; 173h 20min)

BR Wo8 done

I did bits of walking, trampling (with the kids) and cycling yesterday but nothing proper so I won't count it.

Weights this morning. I feel like I've made more progress in three weeks of one to one than i did in all the zoom during lockdown.

Days exercised 186.

How reliable do you find your fit bit, roonetta? I got a polar watch with built in heart rate monitor to try to keep track but I'm not sure if it wildly overestimates my activity. I've been hitting 120% plus of my recommended target every day for the last week but it doesn't really feel like I'm doing that much (and still not dropping any weight )
