20 min frustrated theme spin which probably gives an indication of my work day Grin

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 09/10/2023 21:11

God, I could have done with that, Shady, finally finished here. I managed to get to the gym at lunchtime.

This was the playlist, it definitely helped

I love that playlist Shady. My problem is I really hate Spotify, with an inelegant vengeance, so getting music these days is really quite hard.

Just ran to school to meet ds on his way home and we did lots of sprints/races on the way back. Good job I'm sitting down for the next 6 hours, I'm half dead.

I'm impressed you can get your DS to run Motherforkin. Mine tells me his legs ache when he walks upstairs 😂

Nat Hayward Pilates done ✅

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 11/10/2023 14:04

He scoots or cycles, Roonetta, stairs are also equal to Everest here 😂

Gym this morning. Lots of shoulders so I'll be achey tomorrow.

Crazy day but I'm going away for the weekend tomorrow so I made myself go to the gym. Most exertion for the next three days will be glass to mouth!

Grin glad it's not just mine that think everything is an effort.

Yoga with Adriene done ✅

2023shady · 13/10/2023 12:13

30 min 2000s spin

BezMills · 13/10/2023 12:33

I remain at 138/200.

I got an update from my old gym that I'm not needed for covering the BC classes (this was communicated by removing me from the Instructor Group Chat on WhatsApp).

Basically feels like this
"Everybody who is an instructor at the gym, put your hand up. Bez, why is your hand up?"

They want me to pay for membership or PAYG to go to my BodyCombat class that is now run by my replacement. Aoutsch.

I feel about as welcome as a dog's fart at a perfume counter.

Okay enough is enough. I'm going to join the other gym in town. There are no other decent classes around, so I'm just back to training on my jack jones.

🎼All by myself

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 13/10/2023 22:02

Ouch, that sucks Bez. I'm sorry they have treated you so shoddily. 🌹

Lots of drunken karaoke dancing in our airbnb here this evening. Not sure I can count it 😉

I managed a glorious Loch Lomond dip while away but took a complete rest otherwise. Back to it today and a gym class.

Sounds like you are well out of there Bez. What a shit way to treat someone Angry

Your break sounds lovely Motherforkin.

Managed a mini band workout today, my back is feeling better.

2023shady · 18/10/2023 14:27

I'm planning to redo one of my first spin classes to see if there's a big difference

OublietteBravo · 18/10/2023 15:23

Still going to running club on Wednesdays (5 weeks out of 5 so far). I also went running with a friend on Monday.

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 18/10/2023 22:58

Gym again today. I'm travelling all day tomorrow so I'll get a lot of airport steps but no exercise.

well done on the 5 weeks @OublietteBravo that's great going. Keep up the winning streak (not like that!).

@2023shady I bet you notice a big difference!

@roonetta thanks!

I bumped into one of my class participants in the pub the other day and she was lovely, saying my class was fun and she'll miss having me there. She and her friend were also encouraging me to get something going outside the gym. It's definitely something I want to do, but it's quite a Big Thing really, to set up on my own outside of a gym, teaching my own classes. I'm a bit daunted, Feeling The Fear, but I think I'll do it anyway.

I've been err deloading? I think that's what it's called when you do fork all for a coupla three weeks.

Today is new gym day, I just gotta. I theoretically have all the gear to work at home, including a Les Mills Plus subscription, but experience tells me that ain't gonna happen. I have to just get in the gym and start again.

It's a decent setup, just about a mile from home, so I can walk, run, bike or drive, depending on weather/available time/motivation.

Nat Hayward Pilates done yesterday.

119/200

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 21/10/2023 20:42

Gym this morning. Manged to get a heavier weight on my deadlift and hip thrusters which was good considering I really didn't want to get out of bed!

2023shady · 22/10/2023 13:54

30 min 2000s pop ride (was a live ride so that was fun)
And hit stretch number 75

roonetta · 23/10/2023 07:09

Nicely done ladies 👏👏👏

Half term so had time for a Nat Hayward strength workout first thing.

120/200

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 23/10/2023 14:19

Enjoy your half term, Roonetta. Ours is next week and I can't wait!

Short pool swim today.

I have joined The Other Gym, at last, and had a cheeky little starter workout. I paid for a month up front, to see how I go.

There's about 68 days left in the year after today, so I'm now aiming at 180

139! / 180

2023shady · 24/10/2023 17:18

30 min hip hop ride and 5 min stretch

2023shady · 24/10/2023 17:37

1 years difference in the ride, it's not much change but I'll take it
