That's what I thought esp as it was RDLs and for the sake of 2 mins

Short run this morning and I'm hoping to get to the pool at lunchtime.

Didn't get to the pool yesterday which was annoying, all the back to school chaos caught up on me. Anyway, gym class tonight. I was able to up my barbell squat weight quite a bit but only because we were doing them to sitting...I really need to work on my deep squats.

Swam then BodyCombat on Sunday.
Yesterday I attempted to do Core on the big screen but I noped out after 20 minutes. A bit hungover after an early start on Sunday drinking with the footie. Sad they didn't bring it home, but they did us proud.
Swam today, 110 days

BogRollBOGOF · 22/08/2023 21:13

Back into the running, yoga and cycling for me. Nice to be feeling active again after being ill the previous weekend. Looking forwards to the end of the holidays... two weeks until they're both back though! Mine straddle two LAs with different dates so I'm out of routine for 7 weeks between them.

roonetta · 23/08/2023 08:36

My kids have another two weeks before they go back as well Bogroll. While I love having them home (no school dramas!) it does alter my routine and so I'm looking forward to them going back. My DD has been home since mid-June as it was her last year in secondary so it will be nice having the house to myself for a few hours.

Did the fun Davina workout again

I notice we have scheduled a BodyCombat Virtual Class today. I'm in two minds about that. I'm the bladdy instructor (and I'll be sharing that soon with Anna Sensei)!

So it's good? that we have more BC on the timetable, but also I don't like having a robot teaching in a slot where I could easily be teaching live myself.

30 min lil Kim ride yesterday

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 24/08/2023 20:10

Gym class. It didn't seem like it was very difficult but I'm already sore.

Horrible run this morning. I need to stop taking the dog, he's too annoying.

Swam Weds, and did 4 tracks of BC with Biggy Screenz at the gym, then swam again.
Swam first thing Thursday, and did a Barre class with Biggy Screenz, then afterwards had a stretch then taught BC in the evening as usual.
Legs status - ded.
Today no swimming (water filthy from storm runoff), taught BC at lunch.
Legs status - MOAR ded.

I'm calling that 115 days, a good week

BogRollBOGOF · 25/08/2023 16:01

Rest day 😁

Had a rather brutal sports massage. I've had some stubborn upper body niggles, so I'm hoping they'll ease.

My lower body's had a good pounding with runs this week so the rest day is being enjoyed!

BezMills · 25/08/2023 16:04

Rest day is the best day!

Saturday is usually my rest day but I'm going in to do a virtual cycling class and have a big stretch. Won't work too hard.

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 26/08/2023 18:37

Gym this morning.

Busy weekend gardening and decorating DS bedroom so no time for workouts.

Mini band workout with Nathalie Hayward done today

Creeping towards 100! Nowhere near where I should be 🙄

99/200

BezMills · 29/08/2023 19:11

Saturday I did 20m mobility, 15m cycling class, 15m mobility, 15m cycling, then had a stretch.
Sunday was Guest Instructor at BC. I swam first then drove to the gym and did an hour of BC, as a participant. That was hella fun, even got my lefts and rights right, most of the time. (LM Instructors teach mirror image so we say rights and do lefts, you just get used to it. But hell if you can tell left from right in real life, subsequently)
Monday was just a wee swim first thing.
Today had a swim first thing then 30m Core workout in the afternoon.
119 days (edited)

BezMills · 29/08/2023 19:15

@roonetta yeah it's been a bitty year for me too! After quite optimistically aiming for 200, I got really derailed in the first 4 months.

I'm thinking high 100s somewhere... maybe even the 200, but it would be a heck of a comeback to do so.

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 29/08/2023 20:10

Yeah, motivation has been hard this year all round I think.

I too spent the weekend doing household stuff Roonetta. Dd is starting secondsry tomorrow so wanted her bedroom sorted. (Spoiler, it's not)

Anyway, hopefully back to something of a normal routine again with school back this week. I was at the morning gym class that suits so well as its across the road from ds's school, at drop off time, but the instructor is just so annoying...

Forgot to post yesterday. 30 min hip hop ride. 8/10 difficulty, was drenched after it!

roonetta · 30/08/2023 08:38

Mine are back next week too Motherforkin - will be good to get back into a routine. Shame about the gym instructor, especially when the class time suits you the best.

I'm hoping for high 100s too Bez. Can't see me making 200 unless some miracle occurs.

Davina 'Pump' workout done ✅

100/200 🥳😁

roonetta · 30/08/2023 08:39

Well done Shady! You are really cracking on with it Star

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 31/08/2023 19:31

Well done for hitting 100 Roonetta! Star

I tried a run yesterday morning but it was so bad I won't even try to count it. Gym class today. It was the gym owner rather than the usual instructor. He's an absolute dose so took all the good out of it. Can't wait for the instructors I like to get back from their holidays.

My routines pick back up next week. Having a gentle one this week, after doing a lot last week and the weekend. I had a good dose of DOMS that I've been happy to let settle.
Life's busy too with the shift of end of term to school returning.

ShadyPaws · 31/08/2023 21:26

This was the hip hop ride
She was "90 cadence and 50 resistance, out the saddle"
Me "absolutely no"
