Exerciseathon keeps exercising

[MotherForkinShirtBalls]

New thread for us to keep on keeping on.

Finished L1 of the Shred. I’m noticeably stronger than at the beginning of last week, which is heartening. On to L2 next week.

I think my target is 150 for the year, since I didn’t start till this month.

5 mile walk and then 40 minutes bodybar workout at home.

78 ✔️
Back, shoulders & arms on Thursday and some HIIT on the rower.
Missed my strength session yesterday morning as I was so tired, and also couldn't run at lunch as I had physio. But I did a 10k walk in the evening.
Today I've been out for a 7k run with run club, and was supposed to be out hiking this afternoon but I'm going to the football instead now. Glad I went for a run 😊
Happy weekend all! Lovely weather here today

I've signed up for a couch to court netball taster session!

S&c this morning. Might run with ds later this afternoon. I was exhausted yesterday too, Florence so took a rest day.

That sounds fun Pelo. I was trying tonget a friend to start hockey with me but she's totally uninterested and I'm not brave enough to go by myself!

So jealous @pelotonaddiction, I love netball! Unfortunately, I have psoriatic arthritis which also affects my nails, I lose them regularly. They're far too tender to play netball, makes me 'sound like a girl' when I say that I'm scared to play netball in case I "lose a nail", but I know I'll be in tears regularly if they take a knock. I can't even load the dishwasher and washing machine without pain in them.
Anyway, enjoy 😅🥹 I'm chuffed for you

Yoga class - quite gentle but very good for sore shoulders. DD and I have a skating lesson this afternoon too.

Started Shred L2 as the dread was getting disproportionate. Still hate it! At least this way I only have to do it four more times this week.

12

Shred L2 is my nemesis. So much harder than L1 or L3!

80
Ds and I didn't get around to our run yesterday so we did uphill sprints today. Nearly killed me.

Shred L2 done. Owwww. Not quite my nemesis- that’s L2 of Ripped in 30 with the whole cardio circuit in plank - but close.

13

The showers up at the clubhouse have hit water this week, and it isn’t raining. Which makes the whole 5k thing more bearable. I think I might have hit a plateau with my time though: 27min 54sec - a mere 3 seconds quicker than last week.

81
I'm tired today so I did a barre/stretch youtube thing a lunchtime (would never have thought of it only for the mention uptrend- thanks for the inspiration!) Meeting a friend for dinner so I'll walk there shortly.

Sometimes those stretch days are just what you need.
And you don't feel as lazy/guilty as doing nothing

1 hour pilates class

Shred L2 D3. Twice more to go this week. It’s not noticeably getting any easier!

No matter how much I exercise, or what type of exercise I have been doing, Shred kills me every time! It is not to be underestimated! Well done Professor, keep going. The skating sounds fun too 😃

2 mile WWL done. Can't seem to summon the motivation to do any strength/Pilates workouts at the moment 😞

31

Shred L2 done - only one more this week. I’ll try to knock that on the head tomorrow and do something else on Friday and Saturday.

Know what you mean about motivation, roonetta. I wish I didn’t find exercise so boring!

15

Forced myself to do a Nat Hayward strength workout. Only realised when I finished that it was 50 minutes! Will feel that tomorrow.

32

Somewhere along the way I've sold myself short on exercise days. I would be reporting 81 on here, but I've just looked at my workout log and I'm on 86 🙌
Monday - Strength class and 6k run
Yesterday - Chest, shoulders & triceps and a 4k walk
Today - Legs at lunch, then I have a run after work and pilates class tonight.

@ProfessorRadcliffeEmerson Do you notice any weight loss on Shred?

4 mile walk yesterday
60 x25m swim and 1 hour pilates class today.

Shred L2 done - half way through!

@florenceandthemac, I’m impressed with your workouts. Once a day is quite enough for me. I don’t think I’ve ever lost any weight doing the Shred. But then I’ve never really combined it with a proper diet, and I find it makes me hungrier. What it does do is really quickly improve my fitness.

@ProfessorRadcliffeEmerson ah that's great it kickstarts your fitness.

@roonetta Is it a subscription you have for Nat Hayward?

82
I was really unwell on Tuesday so I didn't do anything yesterday either. S&c today.

That's a lovely surprise Florence !

Happy Friday team!

Back, arms and shoulders at lunch yesterday, then a 4k walk after work and 15 mins HIIT on the rower.
Strength class this morning, and will be running at lunch.
Just planning pilates and walking over the weekend for a nice rest.
Anybody any fun BH plans?
