Swimming today. I needed something gentle, I was in so much pain after yesterday's class

Days exercised 103

Yoga day 10 done. Hope the soreness is wearing off, Motherforkin!

Days exercised 115.

No Repeat week HIIT. Found this really hard as the intervals were 40 seconds long. There was a 20 mins low intensity cardio add-on but there was no way I was doing that!!

Tomorrow will be a rest day as we're travelling.

Hope you're feeling better now MotherForkin.

Days exercised 145

I struggle sometimes but I try and do a 5/10 min stretch class after every single ride

30 min 90s spin class today
Still feeling off and I can't put my finger on what's up which is very annoying

I'm still in pain I can't believe I'm such a wuss but it's been a very long time since I've had doms this bad. I didn’t think I was squatting low enough to have quads this sore so at least I was working harder than I thought! Other than a bit of walking I'm taking it easy today. I've booked in for a conditioning class tomorrow.

I hope you're feeling more like yourself soon, Pelo. You've been through a lot lately, mind yourself.

I find it's the stuff you least expect! Was doing loads of gym stuff, heavy weights hut I hadn't ridden a horse for ages
Got back on a horse. The next day I couldn't lift my handbrake on my car and I was using the towel rail to lower myself onto the toilet SO much pain

Yoga day 11 done. PeloAddict, hope you feel right soon. I’m feeling slightly weird but hoping it’s just the muggy weather we’ve had here.

MotherForkin, I feel your pain! Happens to me every time I come back to Jillian Michaels after a break.

Days exercised 116.

Yoga Inferno workout 1 done. My wrists always hurt after this, at least half the workout is in plank or downward facing dog. Planning to do Adriene this evening to keep the flow going - I want to have finished the 30 days by the end of August.

Days exercised 117.

Treated myself to these weights! Sale price of £30 seemed good and my friend has had his for years and rates them

Know what you mean about horse riding pelo. That hurts so much when you don't go for so long. 😂

I haven't gone to the gym much this week, been too busy with other stuff. Went on Wednesday for a pt session and did leg day. Felt a muscle in my thigh go half way through it, still carried on because I knew stopping was just going to make it worse really. Did a lot of stretching after, could feel it the next day but wasn't too bad. Done over 600 active minutes according to my Fitbit this week, my regular is 300-400 so pretty happy. Going to the gym tonight too. 😊

Yoga Inferno workout 2 done. Nearly didn't do it as I was up half the night with DD who has a stomach bug (thankfully she's bounced back now), but then I thought I'd better as if I catch the bug I definitely won't be exercising for a day or two.

Did yoga day 12 yesterday too, so I'm making progress! Planning to do day 13 before bed tonight.

Weights look good, Pelo. I have a real rag-bag of a collection that I've built up gradually over years of doing workout DVDs.

Days exercised 118.

10 min barre class done which was even more evil than the previous one
I may have told her to fuck off at one point

Pelo. I have been partial to an expletive or two whilst doing home workouts (assuming you were at home)

Hope your DD feels better soon Professor and that you don't succumb to it

Hope you are travelling somewhere nice Sophie.

Walk to/from work Friday. Lazy weekend for me.

Days exercised 120

I didn't make yesterday's class hungover so I went to an early spin this morning. I was swearing at the instructor too, Pelo.

Hope your dd is on the mend Professor and doesn't share this particular love. There are loads of bugs doing the rounds at the moment, chicken pox is rampant here. I'm very glad mine had it years ago.

Hope you didn't actually hurt your leg waterbottles!

Enjoy your travels Sophie.

Days exercised 104

I was definitely at home! I'm trying to make the best of my spare/dressing/storage room, everyone seems to have these insta perfect rooms and I have this

10 min hip stretch to finish the day

Nah I'm ok motherforkin. I'm fairly used to just ignoring pain thanks to horses, I mean if you get stood on by one, you've still got to put the plonker out in the field or into it's stable, while of course swearing at it. 😂

Hope you didn't catch the bug professor!

Yoga day 14 done (last night, but forgot to post). I seem to have escaped the bug, for which I am very thankful.

You're not selling me on horses, Hot water bottles!

Days exercised 119.

Looks perfect to me Pelo. I workout in the dining room. We do what we must do

Did L1 of 30DS today with really light weights. My wrist is improving but my arm isn't, so I still can't lift much heavier than 2kg. Will see how my arm feels later and decide whether to keep going with Jillian for a while.

Days exercised 121

Spin this morning. Thankfully it was only 30 mins.

That's very frustrating about your wrist and arm, Roonetta. Are you going back to your therapist again?

I was delighted when a friend borrowed my weights kit about a year ago and has forgotten about giving it back if she ever does, I'll have to use the conservatory and flail about between the clothes horses!

Days exercised 105

But horses are great professor, honest. 😂 The

They are a good way to exercise, it's a full body workout and helps your stamina, flexibility and strength in one go.

But they are assholes too I have to admit. It's not fun walking around a massive field looking for something for a boot the git has pulled off or it's shoe it removed. Especially in the dark.

5km interval run and a 10 mins girvan abs workout.

The other day did a 5km run and a 30 min yoga class (which just showed me how stiff I am....)

Days exercised 147

You all seem to have been very active ! Hope those under the weather/injuries /hungover 😉 feeling better or will be soon.

Your room looks great pelo and you have a mirror to check form. Who cares about "perfect" Insta people ?!!!

Back to my osteopath next week Motherforkin. I am encouraged that my wrist is feeling better, so I am hoping she will be able to improve my arm.

30DS L1 D2 done ✅

Days exercised 122

Ok I know this isn't the point of this thread, but it's confusing the hell out of me.

To get a calorie deficit, I apparently need to have 288g of protein a day. How?! I'm barely making 100g a day! How am I supposed to eat that much protein without eating a cow a day?! 😂

On a better note, went to the gym the past two days, did better last night than Monday night.
