Exerciseathon keeps exercising

[MotherForkinShirtBalls]

New thread for us to keep on keeping on.

I only know two of those songs Shady - showing my age . Looks fun!

Pilates workout with Nathalie Hayward done early before heading off to work. I also had quite intense DOMS Bogroll after the Davina workout on Wednesday, so took it easy yesterday. You would think our bodies would be used to it by now! I secretly like them because it makes me feel like I've done something.

Happy Friday everyone 😊

I'm another that not so secretly likes DOMS.

@ShadyCat hiphop ride sounds better than the loud and not that great dnb that we usually get offered on bike classes. I'm a bit about 20 years out of date. Dre's 2001 and The Eminem Show are probably what I still think of as hiphop/rap.
@roonetta well done on the ton!
@BogRollBOGOF yeah the transition to school is busy time here too, DD is going into Y1. I think we're all set...

I think I got up to Tuesday. Weds was an early swim, then we went over on the ferry to the fun pool at Southampton. Yesterday didn't swim cos weather (again) but taught my BC class to two folk. We got to the last track and I got a bit of a twinge from jumping about, so we decided as a group to bin off the madferit madferit Muay Thai track and finish instead with a slightly less hectic crowdpleaser - the Judo Chop Track.
Class is cancelled today, only one booked in. I'll do something today and tomorrow just to finish off my Over Training Fortnight in style. Then it's easy week until Big Swim on the 9th.

@BezMills that's partly why I love peloton - everything from country to disco to 60s!

Busta rhymes 30 min ride today
Bookmarked an Eminem one to take again as I love it so much

Parkrun done. Faster than average.
Family did divide and conquer. One DS and I did the fast course, DH and other DS did the hilly course. DS is more fussy about which courses he likes!

What's divide and conquer, bogroll?

I planned a run yesterday but spent most of the day moving furniture instead. Gym this morning and more furniture moving (I'm hiding in the loo for 10 mins while dh cracks the whip over the children 😅)

No idea what divide and conquer is, but it sounds like fun!

Furniture moving definitely counts as a workout Motherforkin

Strength workout with Trinny/Nat done ☑️

I rested on Saturday, taught my class yesterday and had a swim later on too. That's me at 122 days.

I'm having a very easy week, and Big Swim is planned for Saturday.

DS1 only likes a couple of parkruns which didn't include the one on my agenda, so DH took him to his favourite and DS2 and I went to a fast one.

20 min classic rock spin

Ah, that makes sense, bogoff. Good to have options on park run. My local one is two big loops and one small, and somehow seems to be uphill the entirety of the three rounds.

I was very achey after all the furniture moving and had to brave a trip to ikea yesterday so didn’t put myself through a run. Gym this evening.

Last minute decision to go for a swim tomorrow evening
Trying a new reservoir (new to me!) out with a group that know it well. I'm on an early finish at work so have time to go while the weather is like this

Hill walk with the dog early this morning. I slept really badly so it was a trudge!

good luck with the swim @ShadyPaws , let us know how the new location is. There is only one freshwater lake on the island that it's possible to swim in, and then only rarely. It's very weird swimming in freshwater when I'm used to the bouyancy and taste of the sea!

This is it. It's about a 30 min drive but I'm not doing anything else tonight
There's quite a few local places to swim

Oh FFS, photo added!

oh nice! Really great

I'm hoping for a swim later in the week 😎

Back to my fitness class today. That went pretty well. Naturally all my intentions about keeping up with strength work over the summer floundered after a single Caroline Girvan session 😂 In my defence, I was ill in week 2, then we went on holiday which did my shoulder in and it was only last week that a sports massage dealt with the worst of it.
Anyway, it went pretty well and I did it on 4/5/6 kgs which is still long term progress, and not much of a backward step.

Gorgeous walk and dip! Water was 21c

Wow looks gorgeous Shady. So jealous of all you wild swimmers

Hope you get a better night's sleep Motherforkin. This heat is not helping.

So annoying when an injury sets you back Bogroll. Well done on the weights!

Good luck for your Big Swim on the 9th Bez 🍀

Dynamic Pilates with Nathalie Hayward done ✅

Your photos (and the amazing weather) inspired me to go for a dip this evening, Shady. I also did a short pool swim at lunchtime for my shoulder. I had a while lane to myself which was a lovely surprise!

Oh fab! It's been gorgeous
Rest day for me as I've been working in a portacabin all day and was way too hot and grouchy

I've been swimming too. The lake was heaving. Lots of the more random activities like pedalos out today!

So good to be back out doing it. It's such feel-good activity!

Strength workout with Nathalie Hayward done ☑️

Lovely gym instructor was back for a very tough class. Sod's law it was very shoulder heavy so my rotator cuff was grumbly after yesterday's swimming.

There really is something special about outdoor swimming, bogroll, I have to keep making the effort while I can.

Is your swim today Bez? Best of luck with it.

I had severe doms yesterday which is very unusual so I gave myself a rest day weights class in a bit. I'm posting now to make myself get out of bed...
