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.

Weight training this morning. I'm still sore after Tuesday and I've a catch up class to get through tomorrow too 😫 I'll be immobile by the weekend!

Days exercised 197.

Just think how strong and toned you are going to be ladies. Well done!

WO9 done ✅

Was doing well until my cat savaged my head while I was lowering into a plank jack push up! DD thought it was hilarious 😂

I didn't feel like cardio today so chose a 45
Min cat Meffan yoga flow and it was so fast and difficult that I ended up feeling like I'd done cardio. Sweating and shaking did a quick lilly sabri abs session at the end.

at your cat Roonetta! If I exercise in the garden then my cats decide to come and start ripping/clawing at my mat !

Days exercised 211

You have a very enthusiastic cat roonetta . Yoga that feels like cardio sounds terrifying Sophie!

I had another weights session today (three this week and next to catch up on my missed week). It was hard. I'm starting back into proper weight lifting now, which I haven't done in a few years. My arms are so puny

Days exercised 198

I had a planned rest day yesterday because it was my birthday. I’ve just done KB&T L2 and 30DS L3 (65 min)

(184/68; 184h 05min)

Oops (184/66)

Happy birthday Oubliette! Hope you had a great day

Your yoga sounds hard core Sophie!

Your arms won’t be puny for long MotherForkin - I dream of toned, muscly arms instead of my bingo wings.

Rest day for me today.

Happy birthday Oubliette

I have a t-shirt, roonetta that says "t-rex can't do push ups". It's like a self portrait

😂 at your t-Rex arms MotherForkin, that made me laugh. I don’t believe it for a moment.

WO10 done ✅

Tragically true, roonetta.

Hill run and sea swim this morning. The water was absolutely gorgeous.

Days exercised 199.

Belated happy birthday Oubliette! 🎉🎂

7km run today. Didn't sleep well and feeling too wrecked after run to contemplate doing anything else.

I also have issues doing push ups. No matter how many on-the-knees ones I do, I can barely do one proper full push up. The tricep push ups I'm ok with though....

Days exercised 212

Couldn’t face Jillian cardio today so did a 4 mile ‘walk with Leslie’. I am really aching today from WO10 yesterday; it really must be working my butt and legs.

I can actually do proper push ups, just not too many. Doesn’t seem to be ridding me of my bingo wings though.

I came very close to bailing on today but the thought of hitting 200 made me so I went for a run.

Days exercised 200.

Woohoo! 🙌 well done on 200 days MotherForkin 👏👏

Thanks roonetta

Oooo congratulations on 200 MotherForkin! 🥳🎉

Did manage a short abs session later in the day yesterday but having a rest day day.

WO9 done

200 days - fabulous @MotherForkinShirtBalls

I seem to be struggling a bit with motivation at the moment. Nothing over the weekend (unless decorating counts). KB&T L2 and 30DS L3 (65 min) this evening.

(185/65; 185h 10min)

Lots of strength today with my new resistance band plus some yoga to stretch me out a bit at the end.

Sorry you're not feeling very motivated Oubliette. Have you perhaps thought about trying a different type of exercise? I get bored so easily and find varying things makes it a bit easier.

Days exercised 213

Decorating definitely counts Oubliette . I always have more motivation when I am doing a program. I am sure if I didn't have something to aim towards, I would find it harder to stay motivated. Not sure what I will do when BR is finished in a few weeks, but it will probably be another program - maybe Bodyshred (although I have heard this is ridiculously hard!)

WO10 done

Weights including deadlifting today. I'd forgotten how hard it is! And I was only able to do half what I used to

Days exercised 201.

It's frustrating when you have a break and then you gone back about 10 levels, MotherForkin. Hope you're not sore today.

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

214 days

Muscle memory is an incredible thing MotherForkin and you will be lifting what you were in no time.

I am taking an unplanned rest day today. I think all the jumping in levels 9 and 10 have taken their toll on my knee, so giving it a break today.

Hope the knee is OK, roonetta. Mine has been a bit creaky the last couple of weeks so I'm minding it. I think it's probably 3 years since I was doing proper weight lifting so I probably should give myself a bit to get back into it. I did hurt today though so i had a swim at lunchtime.

Days exercised 202.

I had a rest day yesterday and went out for dinner with friends. I’ve definitely been missing seeing people in person (I haven’t physically been into the office since 13 March). I expect it did me more good than a Jillian session!

Today’s session was 30DS L3 and KB&T L2 (65 min)
