Alittlefrustrated · 28/07/2026 20:05

Yesterday was 12m yogalates (day 17 of the 30 day challenge) then 8m cardio and some wall press ups. Keep on keeping on!

Friday had my impacted wisdom tooth removed. Took the dentist an hour - had to come out in slivers. (She had to cut away 'quite a bit' of the jaw around it...Yeesh!)

Have been a bit sore, very swollen and extremely bruised. Swelling has gone down a lot and the bruising had faded a bit so went to one class yesterday - Active for Life.

15 minutes on bike, 6kg weights for side raises, biceps curls and hammer curls.

ETA 2 minutes on SPARC at the end. Running has given me more confidence with slopes, so moved it to mid slope and level 5.

I have
Tuesday hard core core, and hard Pilates.
Wednesday swim 60x25m, and then a glutes and hamstring class.
Today a delicious 100x25m swim, and medium Pilates!

I’m on holiday but the hotel has a gym so I’m still exercising! Doing my running on the treadmill (too hot to run outside)!

3k run
Yoga flow (15 mins)
Swim (25 mins)

Had a couple of other swims but they were far too leisurely to count as exercise!

I broke my wisdom tooth because I grind my teeth and after the 3rd attempt to mend it failed I had it extracted, not much fun but better afterwards so commiserations @WearyAuldWumman hope it settles down soon, yikes…

Yes, I had similar before - one extracted after it broke under the drill on the last attempt to fill it and one after a gum specialist said it would be better to yank it out. (It had been filled at least twice, probably more. I didn't even know that it was a wisdom tooth.)

Those two came out really easily, thank goodness.

12m yogalates then 8m leg exercises snd some wall press ups. Have really been enjoying this yogalates I must say.

stilldumdedumming · 01/08/2026 19:44

Thursday - stunning coastal walk. Punishing gradients - we were warned it was " very difficult" and they weren't wrong! My hiking boots have died 😭🤣Totally worth it.
130.

Today - country walk - we've swapped Wales for Sussex. Nice and flat today. Good job, as I was in trainers😁

WearyAuldWumman · 03/08/2026 23:36

Went back to Pilates (45 minutes). Was struck by how much easier it was overall than when I first started. I'm finding that I can now do a side plan on one side without too much bother; the other side...well, I can hardy get off the ground.

Saw there was a free spot in the Zumba class (45 minutes) and decided to have a go. Enjoyed myself.

Well done WearyAuldWumman 👏
Yesterday, Woodland walk with very steep sections - considering it was 32 degrees (35 in direct sun) we did very well.

Decent walk in the hills. Today we are walking in the woods which is good as it’s wet! I walk with walking poles and it makes such a difference to my bad hip and my back.

Lazy day today pottering around NT property Ightham Mote - very unusual property, if you are ever in Kent it's well worth a visit.

WearyAuldWumman · 05/08/2026 20:52

45 minutes Senior Flex. Tried two 7.5 kg for some upper body work but switched back to 3.7.

Instructor had us moving from RDLs to low rows at one point. Stretches, squats, etc, some cardio.

45 minutes Active for Life. Tried to to running training on the treadmill, but just don't feel that comfortable, so just did a warm up.

Started using 7kg for upper body, but instructor advised me to move down to 6kg and to increase the number.

Now using the SPARC with the middle incline and moved the difficulty level up to 7.

FurForksSake · 05/08/2026 22:12

Countryside walk - farmland and woods. Should of been just over 5 miles but we managed to get lost and did a complete circle in the middle, adding a couple of miles 😂
DP and DS had a massive argument as a result (we should of trusted DS's navigation). Oh what joy...
At least I got my exercise.

stilldumdedumming · 06/08/2026 20:52

Lots of yoga, swimming, quads and calves, Pilates.
Going to take my breakfast up Ivinghoe Beaconhoe Saturday morning. Debating a long loop of a walk into Ashridge. Not sure if that’s a bit ambitious for me!

Have only done a bit of gardening today, but had to use upper body strength to haul up saplings in the wrong place.
