So jealous of you heading off, Professor, have a fantastic time. Hope the rain blows away soon though.

Hope your fencing went well Roonetta

Epic fail of a run this morning, I really couldn't get into it/no energy. So I came home and did a very low impact core and legs routine instead.

Days exercised 42

Need to get on the bike. Period pain is not helping my enthusiasm!

Took the same class again, 3 weeks apart to see if there was an improvement
New PB again

Well done, MrO, you're smashing the pbs.

I had a long walk this morning and I'm going to do a legs/core thing when I get a few minutes between meetings this evening.

Days exercised 42

Can't get used to you as ostrich! Doesn't sound as Irish either

Well done on the PBs ollivander!

Endgame day 49 today. Full body. There were 100 pullovers as the finisher. I always thought pullovers worked the upper back but my chest and triceps seemed to be hurting more....

Days exercised 66

Another PB and a new best max output
Playlist was awesome which helped

I’m still struggling with motivation and taking more rest days than I should be. I’m going to have another go this week, and try to keep going.

KB&T L2 (42 min)

Days exercised: 37

You're doing so well Ollivander 👏🏻👏🏻

Good luck with the motivation oubliette 🍀

Endgame day 50 today - I finished it!!! Finisher was 100 chest to floor burpees. Was not nice and didn't think I would finish. Had to do In Sets of 10 and took me ages.

Days exercised 67

Did a yoga session for stretching and flexibility today plus a 10 mins girvan abs workout.

Days exercised 68

Oops. I forgot to post yesterday. I did KAbs L2 (32 min)

Days exercised: 38

Rest day yesterday, 30 min ride to do after work

I'm not sure about the name change either Sophie I'll give it a few more days and see if it sticks.

I got out early for a run this morning.

Days exercised 43

Another PB and new best max output. I have to be getting fitter!

You're doing fantastically MrO! Are you still found Lilly Sabri yoga, Sophie? I was looking online for some beginner stuff and the choice is a bit overwhelming.

I did a 30 low impact bum, legs and abs thing at lunchtime and I'm in so much pain! Dog is at emergency vet for stitches so I won't be getting out for my planned walk this evening. I ended up doing 18k steps yesterday so I don't mind too much.

Days exercised 44

I'm doing 20 min ride after work

My plan is to do my first 45 min one next week and then alternate 20/30/45 min ones for a while before I attempt a 60 min one!
I don't want to exercise tonight as I'm so tired but I know I'll feel better

Oops. I keep forgetting to post.

Yesterday: KAbs L3 (32 min)
Today: KB&T L3 (40 min)

Days exercised: 40

Lilly sabri is more pilates/strength/cardio - not quite sure how to describe her!

For yoga I like Tim Senesi and cat Meffan. I think Tim is great for beginners as he explains things so well and has a nice personality. Isn't annoying at all and makes me laugh. I think he has some beginner workouts too. Cat Meffan is very creative. Not sure if she has beginners stuff. There is also Adrienne who lots of people love (I've never really stuck with her although she seems very nice) and Yoga with kassandra.

Oh no, what happened to the dog ostrich?

Yesterday a 5km run and today day 2 (upper body) of the iron series and a short abs workout.

Days exercised 70

RI30 L3D4 done. Now off to Cumbria via my mother's- will be travelling for a couple of days, but I have Yoga Meltdown with me as it doesn't need weights and will try to squeeze a few workouts in once we get there.

Hope your dog is doing OK, Ostrich.

Days exercised 55.

Can someone shove me on the bike? I'm so tired
Can't decide whether to have a day off or not..
I can bike all weekend and all next week as I'm off work

Hope the dog is ok ostrich

GET ON YER BIKE MrO! A bit late I know, but hopefully it helps for today

How are you finding Iron series Sophie?

Hope you are enjoying your holiday Professor.

I gave had a pathetic week as work was manic, so I have only managed my walks to and from work, but no Girvan workouts. We are now away for a week in Dorset, so I will catch up with you all soon

Days exercised 52

I actually took a day off and fell asleep for 2hrs so I figure I needed it
Back to it today

Sounds like you needed the rest MrO.

I'll have a look at those, thanks, Sophie. I want to check with the physio but I think I might be able to start some soonish so I'm getting prepared.

I had a rest day yesterday although did rack up 12k steps. Dog acquired some a hole in his shoulder at the dog park on Thursday morning, either nipped/bitten or bashed himself off something. He's so docile I didn't even know he was hurt until dd noticed the hole in him after school. I'm a terrible person but it was very funny to watch him completely stoned on Thursday night the walletectomy was less hilarious

I'm spending today trying to tidy up the garden and I'm going to do that half hour core and legs thing I did earlier in the week.

Enjoy your holidays everyone!

Days exercised 41

I'm going to hopefully attempt the FTP test later which seems to be 20 mins of hell max power. Then you can do power zone classes and it tells you your individual power zones
The idea does NOT appeal

Yoga Meltdown L1 done. It’s freezing here, we arrived at the cottage and some helpful person had been in and turned the thermostat down to 5 so the house was cold to its bones - I don’t think there can have been anyone here for a while. I suppose it’s an incentive to do Jillian to warm up.

How did it go, MrO?

Oh, days exercised 56.
