Well done @WearyAuldWumman - I did my 20th parkrun today and I still remember how hard that first one was, I was exhausted! It’s not exactly easy or effortless now, but it’s definitely easier than it was! Keep at it! 💪

My day today:

Parkrun
4k walk
Lots of other walks
Few yoga stretches

24,400 steps

stilldumdedumming · 19/07/2026 16:40

I did a kind of reformer Pilates today. Which I am still a bit dubious about!

Not much walking today as spent the day at a friend’s house having a barbecue.

13,000 steps

I'm back. Had a horrendous virus - DP and DS eventually got it too. It's been like living in a sanatorium.
I'm gutted I can't achieve my 300 goal anymore but I've started to try to push through post viral fatigue in the past few days.
Thursday - 2.5 mile walk. 121
Friday - 46 x25m swim. 122
Saturday - 2.5 mile walk. 123
Today - 60 x25m swim 124

Managed a walk at water perry looking at the lovely gardens. Counting it!

Teeny bit of running. Trying to get my time down to 10 minutes for a km. Not sure if I managed it - shall have to try to be more precise next time.

I used the track at the gym, but was distracted at one point. Did set a timer for 10 minutes and I think I did one k, but not certain. Warmed up and stretched beforehand and did stretch and cool down afterwards.

45 minutes Pilates class, concentrating on abdominals and glutes.

Welcome back @Alittlefrustrated- that’s some good consistency there. It’s shitty when your body isn’t playing along.

I did 60 x 25m swim this morning. Was going to stop at 40 but the pool cleared so i carried on.

FurForksSake · 20/07/2026 20:21

Evening! 15 minutes of watering in the back garden. Good enough for me for today!

Day 500 of exercising every day today! 11 min yogalates (doing a 30 day challenge) and 20 mins cardio for this milestone.

Woo hoo, never thought I would be able to do that! Been very lucky and haven’t been ill or really injured. Glad you are feeling better @Alittlefrustrated

Going to try for 600 now!

FurForksSake · 20/07/2026 21:17

@Comtesse that’s absolutely fantastic!! Well done.

Back at it today after a couple of days of being too ill to move.

4k run

Other shorter walks here and there
yoga (15 mins)

25,000 steps

stilldumdedumming · 26/07/2026 09:18

I have the Tuesday triple - core, hard Pilates, yoga.
The Wednesday triple 40x25m swim, yoga, quads&calfs
Thursday double 80x 25m swim and medium Pilates.
And Friday I overslept so just a glute and hamstring class.
Saturday lovely easy Pilates.

I booked for a pump class this morning. I am scared of going to be honest but I am pretty good at just blindly going into it. It’s at the leisure centre so there should be a good mix of people. I will need to get there early to explain my wonky body! I shall report back.

stilldumdedumming · 26/07/2026 14:30

Survived body pump. It’s ok but I do think when you’re going quicker you can lose form or not really have the right weights. But it was ok and I will probably go semi regularly

MummyInTheNecropolis · 26/07/2026 22:58

Bounce fit class (45 mins)
5k walk

Around 50 x25m swim this morning. I really need to fit some yoga in today (tho I have class tomorrow). My body needs a bit of undoing.

Alittlefrustrated · 27/07/2026 22:09

I'm in Wales for a week.
Saturday - active day walking and scrambling, but not enough to count.
Today - 6.2 mile walk - not excessively long, but the gradients were very challenging. Felt like an achievement!
