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.

Your home gym sounds awesome Motherforkin

4 mile boosted walk today. My knee seems to be improving already 😁

Ri30 L1D8 and KAbs L2 (65 min). I think it is time to move up to the next level of Ri30.

(202/48; 202h 30min)

Yes Your home gym sounds cool MotherForkin. And glad the knee is improving Roonetta.

Lovely yoga flow practice with cat Meffan and then strength for abs and arms.

We're away for a few days (children have half a half term this year) and hoping to get some exercise in there. No sea swimming for me though - far too cold!!

Days exercised 229

The dreaded plank level Oubliette - I actually enjoyed level 2.

How come the kids have a half, half term Sophie? Are they trying to make up for the time off in lockdown? Half term for mine too next week and it can’t come soon enough. Enjoy your time away.

I just did a shorter cardio session this evening: BFBM (50 min)

(203/46; 203h 20min)

Run early this morning. It felt a lot better than I expected.

Days exercised 218.

Wednesday is a national holiday here and so the school gave Monday and Tuesday off as well but Thursday and Friday are school days, Roonetta. Yes, they didn't want to give too much time off because of all the missed school during lock down plus schools here went back a week later than normal due to COVID.

Went to gym and did 5km interval run plus strength for abs

Days exercised 230

I love that your shorter cardio sessions are my long ones Oubliete

Did L1 30DS today as I didn’t feel lift and shred was enough of a workout after BR. It still managed to kick my butt, although I used much heavier weights than last time. I am going to continue 30DS but will do 1, 2 and 3 and repeat rather than the same level for 10 days. Will see how I get on.

5km interval run (but different intervals to yesterday!) plus strength for butt and abs.

We also went on a lovely Bike ride to a beach this morning. Think it was about 12 or 13km - no idea if that's a lot for biking or not!! Probably not

231 days

I always think the same roonetta, about Oubliette's short sessions!

I had 20 mins in the sea today. It was cold. I can't decide if I'll buy a wetsuit or just stick to my togs for as long as I can.

Days exercised 219.

Jealous of your bike ride to the beach and sea swim ladies. We don’t seem to be getting out at all at the moment, think we’ve become stuck in a rut.

Started L1 D1 of 30DS again today as I am buddying up with someone on a another thread to complete 30DS by the end of November. Also did a 3 mile boosted walk after because I am off this week for half term so have more time.

I cross posted with you yesterday, Sophie. A bike ride to the beach sounds lovely. And cycling for more than 2k counts in my book

I never got past about half way through level 2 of 30ds, roonetta. Good luck with it.

Run and another sea swim today.

Days exercised 220.

No exercise at the weekend (again). Back on it this evening: Ri30 L2D1 and 6W6P L1 (65 min). I’m pleased to report that I can still manage the plank jack-mountain climbers-plank jack-mountain climbers cardio circuit (although I certainly didn’t enjoy it)!

(204/46; 204h 25min)

Ha ha thanks MotherForkin. I'm not used to biking so that coupled with a run meant by the evening I was absolutely exhausted....

Yes oubliette's short sessions are always normal ones for me too oubliette is a hardcore JM!!

Today just did a 5km run and a quick session for abs. We're going on a hike to waterfalls later and tomorrow back home.

Days exercised 232

D2 L2 30DS done ✅

Weights today. I invested in trx bands so I was swinging off the conservatory doors as part of one of the sets . If it stops raining I'll go for a walk or jog while dd is at football this evening.

A waterfall related hike sounds glorious, Sophie. What's the weather like there? We are getting the tail end of a tropical storm coming across the Atlantic and it's wet and windy.

Days exercised 221.

I had a rest day and went out for dinner with friends.

Dinner sounds lovely, Oubliette.

Early run for me this morning.

Days exercised 222..

Everyone is still going strong . Hope everyone’s mood has lifted a little.

Dinner sounds great Oubliette. How are you getting on with L2 of Ripped?

Still getting misty eyed about sea swims and waterfalls...

Anyway, 30DS L3 D3 done. This is the first time I have ever been able to do all the moves Natalie style, even the jumping lunges. Think I have BR to thank for that.

Day off yesterday (I believe dinner with friends is an acceptable excuse ). Strength this evening: NMTZ (50 min)

I’ve only managed one day of Ri30 L2 so far @roonetta (must do better). I really should have done another one this evening. Hopefully tomorrow...

(205/45; 205h 15min)

@roonetta - these days I find L3 of 30DS easier than L2 of 30DS. Although I still don’t especially like rockstar jumps.

Dinner with friends is the best reason for a rest day oubliette. And so important - getting out always rejuvenates me a bit.

The waterfall walk was the last day of good weather MotherForkin. My children even swam in the pools are the bottom
Of the waterfalls (water was freezing 🥶). Since yesterday it's been raining and stormy.

It's a good feeling when you can manage things you couldn't do before Roonetta - all your hard work is paying off!

Today did vinyasa yoga plus strength for abs, back and arms and butt.

Days exercised 234

The waterfall sounds fantastic, Sophie.

Weights for me this morning. Although I've done something to my shoulder so I'll be doing lots of leg work for the next couple of weeks.

I'm hoping to get for a sea swim this afternoon, depending on the weather.

Days exercised 223.

I’m with you on the rock stars Oubliette - my knees don’t like them either

Hope your shoulder gets better soon MotherForkin

30DS L1 D4 done ✅

I really felt like another rest day, but convinced myself that I should get on and exercise. Ri30 L2D2 and 6W6P L2 (65 min)

(206/44; 206h 20min)
