Sorry florence, I've been really busy this week and failed spectacularly to do any exercise! Yes oubliette was right, WWL stands for Walk with Leslie 😁

It's so easy to get distracted Roonetta!

S&c this morning and I was out tidying up the garden until the rain thankfully put a halt to me.

No exercise for me today - had a boozy lunch/afternoon with old friends. I'm still having issues with my achilles, so trying to be sensible and not aggravate it - I'll likely swim tommorrow,and maybe just do upper body in the gym before that. It's very frustrating,but I've got to play it safe.No rain here, it's sunny and very warm.

florenceandthemac · 07/04/2024 09:33

I know that frustration @Imfreetofeelgood
definitely take it easy.

62 ✔️ Did an hour of Pilates yesterday

florenceandthemac · 07/04/2024 13:16

63 ✔️
Walked to the gym and back, did back & biceps there.
Was blown home by Kathleen 💨

Imfreetofeelgood · 07/04/2024 22:27

1 hr cardio at the gym

florenceandthemac · 08/04/2024 08:33

Monday again..!

64 ✔️
Strength circuit then HIIT sprints on the assault treadmill.
Hoping to get a Pilates session in later

How's the week ahead looking for everyone?

roonetta · 08/04/2024 08:43

Well done everyone! I am away this week so there will be no exercise once again, apart from lots of walking when we are away. Have a fab week all 😁

florenceandthemac · 08/04/2024 09:12

Have a fab holiday @roonetta

BezMills · 08/04/2024 14:26

Holla, had another patchy week, but I managed Boxercise, Pilates, Mobility and BodyCombat (once each)

OublietteBravo · 08/04/2024 14:55

Today’s run felt hard, but my time was still almost 40 seconds faster than last week (today’s time: 28 min 10 sec)

florenceandthemac · 08/04/2024 21:02

Well done @BezMills Hope you're ok

I am enjoying hearing about your running progress @OublietteBravo

Imfreetofeelgood · 08/04/2024 21:19

3 mile dog walk, and 1hr pilates class. I don't like this being sensible with my achilles malarkey, and the dog knew he'd been short changed, poor soul.

Swim today.

Enjoy your holiday Roonetta.

I get that @Imfreetofeelgood So frustrating, you feel you can do more but then likely to regret it.

65 ✔️ Chest, shoulders & triceps done, with some glutes thrown in too (did bodyweight squats between each upper body set while my lower back was feeling ok)
Hoping to do a stretchy/mobility pilates session this evening

S&c. Lots of Russian twists which were very sore.

Imfreetofeelgood · 09/04/2024 22:30

3 mile dog walk - I'm off to google Russian Twists.

BezMills · 10/04/2024 09:00

I'm always looking for inspiration for conditioning drills for my Boxercise people. I gave them one on Monday night that was instantly dubbed the Torture Punch. You sit cross-legged and a pad holder stands behind you and puts pads overhead. You punch up at them left and right for a minute. I stupidly joined in on the second go, it was horrendous.

I had them doing plank variations for 30s and someone said 'was that it, that was easy' so I put them back down for 40s with the implication there was a 50 and a 60 if they wanted it. Nobody asked for thirds!

florenceandthemac · 10/04/2024 20:32

Oh I need a partner so I can try the Torture Punch @BezMills
I'll ask DH later...

Finished off yesterday with a fast quick 2k run with my DS, then a walk home.

Today I did a heavy glutes, quads & hamstrings session at lunch (I was made up with this as it's been a while since I've been able to do lower body like that without pain)
Then a 6k run with run club and a Pilates mobility session.
Loved today 🙌🏼

Nice @florenceandthemac , good to see you're back in action!
I did Pilates today, mainly back body, so different muscles to last week. Tomorrow the DOMS fairy will tell me what I've hammered, I actually feel fine rn

florenceandthemac · 10/04/2024 21:22

I’m enjoying fitting more Pilates into my schedule. I’m still doing heavy weights sessions but I feel less stiff/tight when trying to do certain stretches 👏🏽

Imfreetofeelgood · 10/04/2024 21:58

Swim and 1 hour pilates lesson

BezMills · 11/04/2024 07:26

Swim and Pilates is a good day! I'm looking forward to warmer water so I can get some dawnies in down at the local beach.

florenceandthemac · 11/04/2024 08:03

@Imfreetofeelgood Bet your body feels amazing after those sessions

Work forced a rest day yesterday so early s&c today to make sure I don't miss it.
