Keep on exercisathon

[MotherForkinShirtBalls]

Another thread to keep going!

First! BodyCombat tonight. I'm too hot to BodyCombat, but I'm going to train anyway.

Placemarking! Thanks for the new thread, MotherForkin.

BodyCombat! Was great. 95

Thanks for the new thread Motherforkin!

Tuesday - 2 mile WWL

Hoping to do more at the weekend 🤞🏽

I wasn't going to count today but having squeezed in an early sea dip, I've also managed to do 23k steps after dancing for 3 hours at Taylor Swift, I am!

That definitely counts, MotherForkin!

Yoga and T25 stretch done, and DD and I have a skating lesson this afternoon. Starting T25 week 4 tomorrow morning.

S&c this morning. I have finally figured out my grip problem on deadlifts. I didn't seem to have enough hand strength and no pair of gloves or straps helped. One of the instructors gave me a couple of strips of exercise band to wrap around the bar and it's like magic! I was able to lift 60kg for a 6 rep max today which is my heaviest in a very long time. 😊

Good news, MotherForkin! 60kg is impressive.

Well, a hulking teenager a foot taller than me cannoned into me at the ice rink and sent me flying yesterday, so I’m feeling a bit bruised this morning. T25 cardio done, slightly half-heartedly.

Ooft hope you are not too sore @ProfessorRadcliffeEmerson

Rest days friday and saturday, today I was up at 3am (!!) to do safety kayak for swimmers crossing the Solent.

BodyCombat at 10am, 96

Swim with DS today.

Hope you're not too badly bruised Professor, that doesn't sound fun.

You're very committed to be up at 3am, Bez!

Hello 👋

It’s been over 6 weeks since I broke a toe moving house. I went running for the first time today. My toe is fine - no pain/discomfort. I didn’t push it, and I cheated a little bit by cutting across the playing fields. I expect it was closer to 3 miles than 5km. My time was 30 min 09sec, which seems respectable.

That's a really good time @OublietteBravo ! I bet it feels great to get that done, well done and good luck

Nice to see you back Oubliette.

I did a much slower and shorter run!

4 mile dog walk and 1 hour pilates class today. Need to sort my user name out 🤔

That's better!

Hi everyone, I've been missing for 6 weeks but I'm back😊
I think I was a bit down about my sore groin in my last post, plus then some personal life dramas and I've just not had the headspace to be here.
I have been working out though, so just done a quick rough count and I'm on 119 days.

I've joined a new gym, so I am really missing my previous strength class and gym friends at my old gym, but I am LOVING this gym. I did myself a strength program and have been following it and tracking progress, but I've also been going to pilates and vinyasa yoga classes, and I'm really enjoying those.
Also, I have been unable to run for 6 weeks, but last week I managed to run twice, pain free, and even got a Parkrun PB... 28:02

I haven't caught up the thread but I'm going to, as I seen a few posts about deadlifts gains etc so looking forward to having a good read on what everyone has been up to when I get a minute

Officially jealous of you getting tickets to see Taylor Motherforkin. I got a code for Wembley a couple of weeks ago but by the time I'd faffed about finding my credit card and putting the details in, I was timed out 😭. I can't ever let on to my daughter that I was so close to getting tickets! I bet she was awesome!

Some great work going on everyone!

Great time Oubliette glad your toe has mended.

Sorry to see you've had some setbacks florence. You haven't let it stop you getting back into it though. Impressive amount of exercise!

Oof Professor! I hope you're okay?

3 mile WWL done ✅

Think I'm on 49 🤷🏻‍♀️

Last night was boxercise night. The previous week, I'd given them a 1 minute of punches round as a finisher, and Tony (the same Tony that could hardly breathe in his first class) asked why we hadn't done both sides (I usually get them to do everything half on the right stance and half on the left stance, to keep them balanced etc).

I said we didn't have time but we would do it next week. So this week I gave them a minute rapid after the second round, and then at the end I said 'now we're going to do a minute again, with 30s each side - it's called the Double Tony'.

I really hammered them last night - I went mentul at BC and was so tired afterwards I could barely lift my foot off the floor to cross my legs on Sunday.

I always say to Anna on a Sunday, whatever she puts me through in BodyCombat on a Sunday, I'll pass on to my lot on Monday.

Then I mentioned Sally Up and Terry said 'oh I like that one' - so next week I might get them doing the Sally Up and call it the Terry Torture Track after her.

They never learn, but they must be getting fitter considering what I put them through!

Lunchtime s&c

She was amazing Roonetta. It's no wonder she looks so fantastic doing a 3+hours show so often! I hope you manage to get tickets elsewhere

Good to see you back Florence. That's an amazing time after a hiatus!

5 mile dog walk

5 mile dog walk - don't know what's going on with my user name!

Your classes sound like great fun Bez (if a little torturous!) 😁

2 mile WWL done ☑️

40 x25m swim, pilates cancelled when I got there, and I can't quite seem to pull the mat out at home.

S&c at lunchtime and I met a friend for a walk this evening and we needed up doing a fairly brisk 5k.

BodyCombat last night, absolutely smashed it. Lovely Anna Sensei is launching the new release (BodyCombat 99) on Sunday, really looking forward to that.
