Carry on exercising - the August 2022 edition

[roonetta]

Hope this works!

After 18 days I'm finally covid negative! Now to start back feeling a bit demoralised after losing so much fitness
Plan is to do 15-30 min rides for a couple of weeks and keep the zones and HR low, mostly just moving my legs

perceptible progress is good @iloveeverykindofcat !

Wow you are really packing in the exercise Bez! Amazing

Sounds like the puppy took you for a walk Sophie . Glad the antibiotics are doing the trick.

Welcome back Rebel. It's amazing how quickly your fitness will return to its previous state. You'll be there before you know it.

2 mile Walk with Leslie done ✅

8/200

Abs tonight - 6W6P L1 (34 min). Quite pleased with myself as I was so tempted not to bother.

Good to see you, Rebel and cat. 👋

I had one planned and two unplanned rest days. I managed a swim today and walk with the dog although it sounds like your pup is more useful than mine, Sophie, he does so much sniffing we only managed 3.5km in an hour!

Days exercised 11

Short run and short weights session today.

Days exercised 12

Qigonged! 8 days. I got blocked from Pilates by a work meeting so rest day today.

30 minute strength/cardio workout today.

9/200

30 minute band workout done ✅

10/200

@roonetta I just realised that 'band workout' is exercise band rather than music band.

I'm not always dim, but when I am being dim, I'm all the way dim.

Pilates got scuppered by an unscheduled work trip over to darkest Hampshire. I still have Qigong and then teaching my Body Combat tonight. It's so funny trying to get in the mood for teaching combat after getting zenned out of my face at Qigong. I have to go into the ballroom and put the music right up and play some prodigy just to walk myself up a bit.

I decided to try some plates today. My body doesn't work the right way 😫

Days exercised 13

Pilates...clearly my phone doesn't work the right way either 🙄

I had an unscheduled rest day yesterday because I was feeling really dehydrated. Back to it today. 30DS L3D2 and DDM: 70s disco (30 min).

I too had unscheduled rest day yesterday (team meeting with the bossboss clashed with pilates)

Today I missed Barre because ///work\\ too. Qigong was good tho and then taught Body Combat. 9 days

We're not managing much distance either motherforkin between the sniffing, the pulling and just walking round me in circles 😆 I think it must be the piling that tires me out. He also wants to randomly run so I indulge him if I feel like it but then he will just stop so suddenly that I almost fall over...!! Or run straight in front of me 🤣

Yes he will be a big dog BezMills

The plates workout and the musical band workout made me laugh!! 😆😆😆😆 The disco workout sounds fun too.

Just finished my refuelling after teaching my Friday class (leftover mac cheese w chipolatas, a couple 5 mini roast tatties and two linda mac veg sausages).

It was amazing (the class), I had a grand old time, so did the troops. Food went down a treat too!

10 days.

I did a short pilates routine this morning and had a lovely swim at lunchtime.

Your dog sounds fun Sophie, and a useful fartlek coach! What breed is he?

Days exercised 14

First ride after covid
15 min r&b ride, I'm keeping the intensity very low for a few weeks and just extending the time before I ramp it up

The music band made me laugh Bez. When I first saw 'plates' I thought it was like the sliding circle things you can use to exercise Motherforkin so that made me laugh too!

30 minute 'bit of everything' workout today - strength/Pilates/cardio

11/200

He's a Rhodesian ridgeback motherforkin.

Must get back to exercising. Been away for weekend and no exercise and lots of eating so feeling very sluggish.

good morning fit people!

Today I am teaching an extra Body Combat class and afterwards getting some coaching from another instructor on something I'm finding difficult.

I seem to have a Plantar Fasciitis flare up, so have been doing a lot of stretching. My DP is a podiatrist, and says I just have to keep doing my stretches and it will get better in time.

Oh wow, that's a lot of dog alright, Sophie, no wonder you're wrecked from him pulling! A weekend of eating and relaxing sounds lovely.

Good to see you back, Rebel. No harm at all to ease yourself back, you were working very hard before you got sick so no doubt you'll find your fitness again when you give it some time.

I'm sure you have loads of advice from your partner, Bez, but I found squats were (are) amazing to manage PF. You're probably doing loads already with your classes though!

I had a short run this morning and a 15 minute lower body burn routine when i got home.

Days exercised 15

20 min recovery ride

After 2 days of being pathetic, I finally managed to make myself exercise. 30DS L1D3 and DDM: Japanese (31 min)

@MotherForkinShirtBalls thanks for the tip!

Taught the class today and had a nice sit down with my 'big sister' after. She gives great moral support, absolutely needed that. I got some nice constructive feedback and a lot of encouragement.
