I'm very achy! It's crazy really
I went from no exercise for a few years to 45 min 10 mile ride in about 9 weeks
Can't wait to see what I can achieve in 6 months

You've done fantastically Ollivander. Really something to be proud of.

Well done for getting the workout done professor!

Eating was a bit better yesterday - only snuck in a few biscuits in the evening. And a glass of wine!

Today iron day 8 (glutes and hamstrings - they're still wobbling) and a 10 mins ab workout (which also felt really tough).

Days exercised 79

Oof, you're all doing so well! I was completely wiped out at the end of last week, actually ended up napping on Friday, Saturday and Sunday which is something I never do, so I took it very easy just did a low impact legs thing on Saturday. I'm off work this week and I managed to walk 25k steps yesterday. I'm going to do a core thing today.

Days exercised 49

20 min class for me tonight - I am redoing the first ever class I did to see if I can improve

Amazing work MrO! You should be proud of yourself. Keep it up!

Thanks for joining me on the healthy eating Sophie and Professor (my muscles are also hiding somewhere I'm certain of it). I have done well up until now, but it has only been a few days.😁

Forgot to post my workout yesterday which was Iron series upper body and a 2 mile WWL. Also went to the theatre so that was more walking and managed to clock up over 11,000 steps (which is not as impressive as your 25k steps Motherforkin! )

Girvan calisthenics, bodyweight only leg day today. Ouch! Almost gave up at 40% but kept on going. I won't be able to walk tomorrow.

Days exercised 60

Results form redoing first ever class

That's a huge improvement professor!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Forgot to say that very happy to have MotherForkin back 😊😊😊😊 ostrich just wasn't the same 😆😆

Did iron day 9 today (full body) and a short Lily sabri abs. That's week 2 of iron finished (I'd done day 10 a while ago).

Days exercised 80

I agree Sophie, glad I'm back

Very impressive improvement, MrO, well done. I am the exact opposite to you, I tried running this morning and it was like dragging sandbags around with me. My running buddy is back in action after covid so we have agreed to get onto a proper routine and try to do some sort of boot camp class to kick start us. On the up side, I've done 18k steps today, so I'm going to sit and knit for the afternoon.

Oh, I nearly missed it, days exercised 50!

@MotherForkinShirtBalls don't worry, I'm taking a day off today! Feeling wiped and my quads are screaming at me. Add period pain to that and it's a night of trashy TV for me

I’m currently having some enforced rest days as I have a huge piece of work to do and an extremely tight deadline. Hopefully back early next week.

Bodyshred week 2 cardio done. Ugh. The really awful thing is that next week cardio day will be the easy one.

I had an unplanned rest day yesterday as I worked late and crawled home, knackered and starving, after 9, and just couldn’t postpone food while I did Jillian. Healthy eating on track for now, though - I’m typing this while fending the cat off my plate of mozzarella and tomato salad. Planned rest day tomorrow, I’m at the theatre.

Well done MrO!

Days exercised 68.

Good luck with the deadline, Oubliette. I had one like that last week.

Sorry I meant huge improvement mrollivander. Got in a muddle. Not that you're not doing great too professor 😊

Good luck at getting all the work done oubliette 🍀

My hip flexors are very tight after so much walking this week, so I just did a reasonable hill walk this morning and I'll do some stretching later.

Good luck with the deadline Oubliette.

Days exercised 51

Good luck with the deadline Oubliette.

I always hated the cardio Professor. These old knees just can't take it

Well done on 50 days Motherforkin! And 80 days Sophie!

Walk to and from work and did Body Revolution workout 1 for a change. Forgotten how motivating it is when Jillian yells at you!

Days exercised 61

Thank you Roonetta. Yes Jillian is super motivating - I found it really odd at the start with girvan as she doesn't speak at all.

Rest day yesterday and today Iron day 11 (legs). Enjoyed this as very varied so didn't get bored. Plus a girvan 10 mins unbroken abs workout. Also really like this because lots of variety.

Days exercised 81

Bodyshred week 2 workout 1, second time, done. The full drill sergeant Jillian experience!

Days exercised 69.

Bodyshred week 2 workout 2, second time. Which leaves me no excuse to put off starting week 3 tomorrow. I'm scared of workouts 3 and 4, I got to them this time last year and had to modify about half the moves. And workout 4 had burpee variations in every cardio interval, which just seemed vicious.

Days exercised 70.

106 miles cycled in April so far

We are away for the long weekend and I went for a slow 5km run outside with a friend this morning and she has booked us in for a 30 min yoga class later.

Days exercised 82

Are you also on the fantastic skincare thread Ollivander?

Yes

I thought I recognised you. Also the curly hair thread?
Post on the skincare sometimes but try to follow it

Been out cycling today. Think we did 22km. Have the worst saddle sore. Do you get saddle sore on the peloton?

Enjoy the weekend Sophie. 22km! No wonder you are saddle sore!

I remember that workout with the burpees Professor, it was a killer. Well done on 70 days!

Walk to/from work Friday. Rest day yesterday and workout 2 Bodyshred today.
