Keep On Exercising 2

New thread!

Only some walking today. 7,276 steps according to my phone. Tried to book appointment with osteopath but couldn't get through.

Muscle pull or whatever it is gets worse when I have to sit for a while (70 minute trip from Fife to Edinburgh and the same in reverse). Have used internal and external ibuprofen.

20 min spin class

Yesterday 15 tai chi in the morning then 10 min HIIT in the evening.

That’s 20 days now when I’ve done more than 20 mins each day - an extra 5 mins a day is 35 mins a week which has got to be worth something, right?

I love seeing the variety of what people are doing. What is shesensu @MummyInTheNecropolis ? Not heard of that before!

It’s one of my favourite classes, kind of like a mix between aerobics, yoga and Pilates. This is how it’s described on the website: “Shesensu is an energetic mindful movement flow. It's afun & effective mixed movement class for all abilities. Shesensu has elements of yoga, dance, cardio and primal moves all in one workout.”

I have yesterday 60 x 25m swim (pooo has warmed up!)
Today lower body at the gym calfs and quads and core.

45 minutes at Run Club - stretching, etc and 6X (90 seconds running; 2 minutes walking)

45 minutes Senior Flex - cardio, stretching, squats, upper body work with 3.78 weights plus sit-to-stand with one weight.

Too scared to try Pilates or Body Balance at the moment. Have been trying gentle stretches at home. Scared to go onto the floor.

Went to the track and did my running homework: stretches, warm-up 6 X (90 seconds running followed by 120 seconds walking), stretches.

The 'running' might have been more of a waddle. 98

6km walk
Couple of shorter walks
Yoga class (1 hour)

19,400 steps

Ooof @WearyAuldWumman that sounds nasty - keep looking after yourself, don’t rush anything….

Thank you, @Comtesse . I'm annoyed at myself. Shall be taking things a bit easier.

60 x 25m swim
116/300

4 mins jumping around (old skool Prodigy track), 16 mins cheesy walking vid, then some wall press ups = 21 mins total.

How are things today @WearyAuldWumman?

our gym classes are interrupted as the PT is injured.
I have loads of yoga and 60x25m swim today and yesterday.

Hamstring problem (if that's what it is) is still there, but not nearly as painful - though it gets worse if I sit still for a while.

Went to Run Club - up to 3 minutes for the runs now.

Afterwards in gym, did Run Club homework - arm exercises with 5kg weights.

Senior Flex, 45 minutes - stretches, cardio, upper body work with 3.75 weights, including 'Arnie' OHPs.

Active for Life - 15 minutes on bike, biceps curls with 7kg weights, shrugs and Farmer's Carry with two 18 kg kettlebells. Stretches in between.
