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.

Dinner with your friends sounds much better Oubliette than sweating with Jillian and her friends

Hope the knee is ok Roonetta. I know how annoying it is when knees play up....

Your dinner sounds lovely Oubliette and glad to hear you enjoyed it (I'm
Now wondering how dinner with Jillian would be!!! Entertaining I'm sure )

Power yoga session today and then lilly for abs and butt

215 days

Nothing more uplifting than a dinner with friends Oubliette - I can't remember the last time I did this

Knee is okay thanks everyone. Funnily enough it's fine while I am exercising, but when I have been sitting for a while in the evening and get up, it's sore and stiff. Still WO9 done.

Dinner with Jillian...I think she would have us doing mountain climbers in between each course

Oh god, don't joke about mountain climbers, roonetta, today's session included them but with added trx fun. How anyone thinks suspending your feet then swinging your knees around is good for you is beyond me....

Anyway, weights and general misery session today

Days exercised 203.

at dinner with Jillian involving mountain climbers. Definitely don’t want to find out just in case!

Strength for me this evening: NMTZ (50 min)

(187/63; 187h 05min)

Third day of weights done. Very glad I'm back to the normal two from next week!

Happy Friday everyone.

Days exercised 204.

Bit of an odd day. I’m in isolation waiting for DS’s Covid test result (he’s lost his sense of smell, but is otherwise totally fine - a bit upset first thing but mainly because he thought we might insist he didn’t come home). DH and DD have headed off to a hotel to keep out of his way (he’s a boarder, so they’ve not been in contact with him recently). I’m at home keeping a vague eye on him.

Still managed to exercise as usual: 30DS L3 and KB&T L2 (65 min)

(188/62; 188h 10min)

Sorry to hear that Oubliette. Hope your ds is doing ok and you get the test and an all clear quickly.

I hope you get the test result back quickly Oubliette. Will your DS have to stay off for 14 days if it’s negative or can he return? I’ll keep everything crossed that it’s negative for you ❤️💐

If it’s negative he’s straight back to school. Fingers crossed 🤞

If it’s positive we need to figure out what to do. Ideally DH and DD will stay elsewhere - we’d really like to keep her at school.

I haven’t been to the office since 13 March and I’m not expecting to go back in before next spring. So isolating won’t interfere with work. And if DH isn’t included In the isolation he can drop off food etc.

I got my exercise out of the way first thing this morning. Cardio: BFBM (50 min)

(189/61; 189h 00min)

Sorry to hear this oubliette. Fingers crossed for a negative test result sounds like you've got a solid, workable plan in case you need to self-isolate though. Hope your DS feels better soon too.

7km run for me today.

216 days

Hill run and sea swim today. It was cold.

Days exercised 205

Any news @OublietteBravo?

I bet that sea was freezing MotherForkin 🥶

WO10 done for the last time. Cardio to do tomorrow and then onto the final two weeks of the programme 🙌

A vinyasa yoga session with Cat Meffan. Lots of balances, inversions and hip openers. Quite challenging but feeling good now.

How long does the whole program last Roonetta? Apologies if I asked this before but got a memory like a sieve.

217 days

He finally got a result early this morning: negative. So I’m out of isolation! It seemed like a long wait (46 hours between taking the test and getting the result).

That’s great news Oubliette!

The programme is 90 days Sophie. Not really sure what to do next but it will have to be another programme to keep me motivated. I might have a peak at Bodyshred.

Oops peek

Very happy to hear that Oubliette! you must all be feeling so relieved. Hope your DS is feeling better too.

Wow! I admire you Roonetta! 3 months commitment is impressive. 👏🏻👏🏻

Today a 5km Interval run plus strength for abs and butt.

218 days

JM's killer buns and thighs L3. I used my lilly sabri resistance band for a few of the exercises which worked well but I'm dripping now....

Days exercised 219

Thanks Sophie - I never thought I would stick with it, but have actually enjoyed it and currently have the added benefit of WFH which gives me the extra 30 minutes a day I need to get it done.

Jillian does know how to make you sweat doesn't she? I don't think i've ever done killer buns and thighs, but will check it out.

WO12 done.

Two rest days, only one of themplanned. Weights this morning followed by 20 mins of a bracing sea swim. I'm considering it cryotherapy

Great news your DS got the all clear Oubliette. Is he back to school again?

Days exercised 206.

Two rest days (I was decorating). Finished off 30DS for the second time this year: 30DS L3 and KB&T L2 (65 min)

DS finally went back to real school today (he was waiting for his roommate’s test to come back - it took 3.5 days and was negative).

(190/60; 190h 05min)

Your cryotherapy might be good for my grumbling knee MotherForkin

Glad your DS is back at school Oubliette

Did a cardio workout from FitOn today. Can you tell I'm not a fan of Jillian's cardio? Too hard on my knees

I did two of Jillian’s abs circuits this evening: 6W6P L1 and KAbs L2 (65 min).
