Exerciseathon keeps exercising

[MotherForkinShirtBalls]

New thread for us to keep on keeping on.

OK - I woke up with some muscle soreness after last nights squats and lunges in LBT class. This did not put me off accompanying my 13 yo to his gym induction - I did 50 minutes cardio machines. Alas, I am now finding getting off the toilet a tad challenging 😂

Classic @Imfreetofeelgood !

I did BodyCombat with lovely Anna Sensei tonight, cheered me right up. I love that class

I find it hard not to make exercise competitive with myself sometimes Florence, which always ends badly for me. I end up stressed and under pressure and it's a recipe for burn out..I hope you can find the right balance for yourself.

I think I'm going to feel the same tomorrow imfree! I went to s&c this morning and ds and I did some uphill sprints instead of our usual c25k run this evening. He absolutely trounced me in all of them, then we had some short races on the way home when we were supposed to be doing an easy jog back. Of the total of 11 sprints we did, he won 8. I only won 3 because he had a stitch and I cheated😂

Dh's birthday tomorrow so I may end up having a cake filled rest day.

52 x 25m swim - and that's me done for the day as my thighs are still complaining g. Fortunately my swim was not affected. Hope you all have a lovely bank holiday

30 min black classics ride. Great playlist

Bangers in that playlist!

2 mile WWL done ✅

S&c. Ds has asked to do sprints again later 🙄

3 mile WWL done ☑️

40 minute cardio in gym and 50 mins swim with DS (not counting lengths, as he was more keen on playing Tag and diving for sinkers) - but at least I've been active. The joys of being an "older mother". What is WWL roonetta?

S&c with a hangover 😫

Away for the next couple of days so I'll bring my resistance bands and see if I get time to do some stretching.

Respect to you exercising with a hangover @MotherForkinShirtBalls I cannot function when I feel like that

Did a pilates session on Thursday lunch, then a HIIT stairmaster session in the evening.
Pilates again Friday, a 20k family bike ride Sunday, and pilates yesterday.
I'm going to carry on doing more pilates classes each week (I used to only manage one a week really), but I'm going to reintroduce weights sessions again this week.
Also, how fast did that long weekend go...?

I didn’t run yesterday due to the bank holiday. Pleasant running weather today. My 5km time is still improving - under 29 minutes (38 min 49 sec).

28 min 49 secs 🙄

3 mile WWL done ✔️

5 mile dog walk - and I'm still dying to know what WWL means?

58 ✔️

5k run
4k walk
30 mins Pilates

Feeling good again 🙌🏼 (except for the back twinge when running, but we move 😮‍💨)

@Imfreetofeelgood - I think WWL is Walk With Leslie. Although I’m not quite sure where I’m digging up that memory from, and I could be wrong.

Yeah I asked previously and that sounds right, @OublietteBravo

Just done a quick google search too WWL

Short run today. My options on leaving the campsite were flatish, narrow, overgrown rural road, uphill with path or uphill without path. The uphill with path was very uphill.

Thank you! I'll have a look at that. 3 mile dog walk and 1 hour pilates class. My achilles and calf are playing up, so I've cancelled tommorrows LBT class, as I'm scared to lunge,and there were lots of them last week. I'll replace with a swim.

52 x 25m swim

Managed to get home this evening in time for the last s&c class of the day.

Happy Friday everyone!

I made it to my strength session this morning for the first time in three weeks, so I'm on a high. I barely did any lower body, as I can't squat or lunge without pain, but I gave everything else a good go. Finished it off with 20 mins HIIT on the stairmaster.

Yesterday I did 45 mins 'dynamic' pilates, and Wednesday I did a chest, shoulders & triceps session, so that brings me to 61 ✔
God I've missed this buzz!

Anyone got any good weekend plans?

Glad you've got your buzz back Florence 😀

Long walk, short swim and flat pack furniture construction today.
