Epic Heat day 14 full body dumbbell done, along with a WWL.

Days exercised 150

Hi Roonetta, it was my DH who did all the research so not sure I can be much help. Remember DH saying not all treadmills have gradient (but you might decide you don't want this anyway - I don't use it myself because of my knee - no uphill allowed).

We got a model that has wheels and can be folded up and stored upright (so takes up less room). We just wheel it out and unfold it when we want to use it. Depends on the space you have I guess.

I can let you know the model and brand when I get back home.

Congratulations on reaching 150 too! 🎊

Oh today was a rest day but didn't a Pilates class yesterday.

Days exercised 176

Well done in getting to 150 Oubliette and Roonetta!

I've been incredibly lazy between our few days away and not sleeping. I keep meaning to get up early for a run but end up hitting snooze instead Tomorrow I will...

150 days @roonetta - fabulous!

Shorter sessions seems to be working for me at the moment. Ri30 K2D14 (35 min)

(153/97; 153h 15min)

Thanks everyone

That would be great Sophie, thank you. We are clueless when it comes to fitness equipment

I would keep having the extra snooze time Motherforkin - your body obviously need to rest and enjoy the holiday.

I'm glad the shorter sessions are working Oubliette!

Epic Heat day 16 triceps and delts done, along with a 2 mile WWL.

Days exercised 151

Glad it's working out for you oubliette.

I can't exercise in the morning at all on holiday. Definitely time for morning snoozing MotherForkin!

7km interval run plus some girvan abs today.

Days exercised 177

If only I had the excuse of still being on holidays 🙈 didn't manage a run but I got out for a long walk this evening.

Definitely doing better with motivation this week. Strength: NMTZ (50 min)

(154/96; 154h 05min)

Yay, morning run done!

Family drama yesterday so I got sidetracked. I spent today pulling down tiles and got out for a nice walk after the torrential rain. I had to go a new route to avoid flooding!

Short run this morning. Can't wait for the kids to get back to school, be back in our own house and back to a proper routine!

I’m ashamed to say I have had 4 rest days, although I did walk to and from the office yesterday so I moved myself a bit . My time seems to run away with me at the weekends now that things are returning to normal. I will try to get my workouts done first thing at the weekend and see if that helps.

Feeling a bit rubbish today as I weighed for the first time in a while and have put on 6lbs!! I have been guilty of less workouts and more food intake so I know what is causing the problem. Doesn’t make me feel any better about it though. So no excuses, I will be pushing myself this week, and have started as I mean to go on today, getting my workout done first thing. Epic Heat day 18 done. Didn’t feel like this one did much for me, but I will try and do an extra long WWL later. I wonder if leaving out the HIIT workouts is also having an impact . I just really hate them.

Glad to see you all getting your workouts in . You really are an inspiration ladies, and encourage me to keep going ❤️

Days exercised 153

I’ve had a mixture of rest days and forgetting to post days. My sister and her family are visiting, so exercise has been a bit hit and miss. I did KAbs L2D13 (30 min) on Thursday and Ri30 L2D15 (35 min) yesterday.

156/94; 155h 10min)

Hope all ok with the family MotherForkin.

Maybe the extra weight is muscle Roonetta? You must have put in muscle doing epic for so long.

Did Caroline girvan callisthenics day 4 full body today.

Days exercised 180

I would love the extra weight to be muscle and not fat Sophie, but sadly I can see a bit of a difference around my middle, so think it might be a bit of both

Also did a 4 mile WWL yesterday.

Today I did Caroline Girvan 500 rep shoulder challenge which I enjoyed and a 3 mile WWL. Have made better food choices too, so hopefully the extra pounds will just be a blip

Days exercised 154

I haven't seen my scales in at least 3 months Roonetta and I dread the idea of finding them again

Thanks Sophie, all ok again. My mum had an accident on holiday (150 miles away) so as the family organiser I had to get her and do doctor visits, etc. Thankfully she's on the mend and no permanent damage done.

I had an 8km run/walk today. It was roasting and I'm totally out of practice so it was more walking than running but I beat Google maps by 30 mins (predicted walking time) which is something.

I managed

My sister has departed for deepest, darkest Norfolk. So I did BFBM (50 min) this evening.

(157/93; 156h 00min)

Great that your sister was able to visit Oubliette - it’s good things are getting back to normal.

Glad to hear your mum is okay Motherforkin. Well done on your run time

Rest day yesterday. Epic Heat day 19 full body dumbbell workout done.

Days exercised 155

Glad to hear your mum is ok MotherForkin.

I saw the reps workouts Roonetta and was wondering how they would be.

And good you got to see your sister oubliette.

I did a 10km hike on a mountain/canyon today so definitely counting that as exercise. Am feeling shattered now (but also two nights with little sleep).

We're back to athens on Monday so looking forward to getting back to exercise again! Still wondering if girvan will do a new 10 week program....

Days exercised 181

Thanks Roonetta and Sophie. Couple of hectic days where I got no exercise but I managed a run today and a swim. It's weeks since I was in the sea, it was absolute bliss.

I enjoyed the shoulder reps challenge Sophie, but it is the only one I have tried. I’ve read the 1000 rep leg challenge is, well, challenging so might give that one a miss for now. Your 10k canyon hike sounds wonderful.

Glad you’ve managed to get your sea swim in Motherforkin. Not sure why, but it always makes me feel happy when you talk about your sea swims

Couple of rest days, and Girvan pyramid shoulders and chest workout done today.

Days exercised 156

Back home! Caroline girvan tempo week day 1 (chest, triceps and shoulders) plus an abs workout. Enjoyed the tempo format.

Roonetta: the brand of our treadmill is Pegasus.
