Carry on exercising - the August 2022 edition

[roonetta]

Hope this works!

30DS L2D3 and DDM: Japanese and Flamenco (35 min).

(14/20)

At first glance I thought that was Japanese Flamenco, Oubliette! 😅

I slept really badly so I walked my hill run this morning but felt every step of it. Also got my covid booster. My arm is sore already, hoping it's the worst of the side effects.

Days exercised 16.

@MotherForkinShirtBalls I had a sore shoulder and a mild fever with my 4 (four) jabs. I learned after the first one to get it in the arm I don't sleep on lol

Sod's law I'm trying to train myself out of sleeping on my front, Bez, and I'm sleeping on my side instead these day!

Feeling much better about getting on and exercising this week. I do enjoy it. I just need to stay in the groove. 30DS L3D3 and DDM: salsa (31 min)

(15/20)

40 minute strength/cardio workout with Trinny/Nat - a gentler version of a Jillian workout - I enjoyed this one. Still using light weights but hoping to gently increase soon. Now I just need to get my eating back on track

good work @roonetta

I would say my diet especially of liquid calories is not the best.

I did LM Barre on Monday, excellent as usual. I cancelled qigong last night, and had dinner out with my DD. Barre, Qigong and then teaching Combat tomorrow.

Cardio: BFBM (53 mins). To make up for being sedentary whilst stuck in tedious meetings.

Dinner out with your DD instead of a workout sounds good to me Bez

Meetings are the worst Oubliette. I'm sure most of the ones I attend are not needed and could be replaced with an email. Annoying . I haven't done BFBM for a long time, but I remember how tough it is!

50 minute Pilates with ring today. Oof, that was bloody tough! I will definitely feel it tomorrow.

Been working through epic heat - 2 days left. A full body complex and the dreaded EMOM....
today did a yoga session for flexibility and obviously walking a lot more now because of the puppy.

I may have missed this but are you a fitness teacher Bez? For combat? Or for other classes as well?

I'm also trying to cut out alcohol and sweets. I don't drink much at all to be fair but I noticed over the summer that I put on weight with increased alcohol consumption and again over Xmas. Think my metabolism generally might be starting to slow down too (I've always eaten quite a bit but healthily).

Post jab bleugh was my excuse on Tuesday and a visit to dd's new school last night covers that I've turned into someone who has to exercise in the morning or it just doesn't happen. Short run today.

Days exercised 17

I made up for my two lazy days with a hill walk this morning and a swim at lunchtime.

Happy weekend!

Days exercised 18

20 min blues recovery ride done and a 10 min hip stretch class

Taught the combats today, barre, Qigong and combat last night. 14 days.

4 leggy workouts in 25 hours. Aoutsch!

2 mile WWL done ✅

I’ve had two rest days. So I thought I’d better do a Saturday session. 30DS L1D4 and DDM: 1990s Vogue (32 min)

(17/20)

I went for a short run with my brother this morning. He's a lot faster than I am.

I don't know how you do so many classes in one day Bez!

45(ish) minute strength workout with Trinny and Nat

Doing a 30 min swarm ride at 4pm
One of the peloton instructors has been diagnosed with breast cancer and has been having all her treatment and still working though it
So someone has set up a ride for us (one of hers of course) to do with a hashtag that we are riding for her

Oh wow that's so thoughtful.

That was crazy! Thousands of us on the ride, so many high fives

Nearly at my January target. KAbs L2 (31 min)

Yass @OublietteBravo

Love the username! Used to watch JB with my mum in the late 70s

I finally taught the last part of my class today, with moral support from my "big sister" (another instructor who qualified before lockdown). It went well! What a relief.
