Get well soon Rummikub.

Rummikub · 23/07/2022 19:36

Ah thank you x
I'm amazed at how much it’s taken out of me.
nice to read all your posts

BestIsWest · 23/07/2022 22:04

Hope you are on Ted mend @Rummikub . There’s a lot of it about at the moment.

Day 23 done today.

Pancakesandbutter · 23/07/2022 22:15

Hey. Can I join in on this please? :)

OopNorfDahnSarf · 23/07/2022 22:33

Sure. Welcome aboard.

Pancakesandbutter · 23/07/2022 22:47

Thank you. I will start tomorrow, excited! I used to love yoga and just gave up for some unknown reason

OopNorfDahnSarf · 24/07/2022 10:22

How are your hips@BestIsWest?

Started Day 6 Kindle but was interrupted. Lots of strange leg and hip movements. So far it seems as though True has more variety than Move.

Keep coming to the mat!

BestIsWest · 24/07/2022 12:14

Still sore @OopNorfDahnSarf. It’s an impingement on the right side which gives me a dull ache like toothache which comes and goes. I’ve lost a lot of the flexibility in it.
Overall the yoga is helping so I will stick with it.

Sooverthemill · 26/07/2022 14:04

@Rummikub sorry to hear that hope you are on the mend

been awol apologies. Just having a tricky time with sick animals ( had to have a hamster put to sleep and old dog very poorly) plus coping with heat, noise from latitude festival ( on our doorstep) , extra sick DD and DH being away!
anyway I did yoga yesterday and today but not true. Will get back to it tomorrow. Def it’s motivated

Welcome @Pancakesandbutter

very stiff today. Did 26 but not well.

Sooverthemill · 27/07/2022 13:19

I had to do a neck and shoulder one today in too much discomfort not to and not enough time to do true as well

Sooverthemill · 28/07/2022 11:28

Another neck and shoulder one. Has everyone deserted me?

Rummikub · 28/07/2022 13:46

hi
no! But I’m waiting to speak to the doc as I’m still ill post covid. As soon as I feel up to it- hoping v soon I’m back into this!

anyone have any recommendations of which true or nice session is a nice gentle one to begin again ?

BestIsWest · 28/07/2022 16:36

Not day 27! Just like Move Day 27 of True was a killer. Going to do 28 now and will report back.
Hope you are on the mend soo. Lots of friends/ p family who’ve had it recently have been complaining of being v v tired.

BestIsWest · 28/07/2022 17:13

Not day 28 either! Warrior 3 AND crow! Needless to say I fell over during warrior 3 and didn’t attempt crow. I just watched open mouthed.

Sooverthemill · 28/07/2022 19:30

Try day 14, 24 and 27 @Rummikub . I hope you feel better soon. Lots of love

Still here !
Sorry @Sooverthemill @Rummikub to hear about ailments making things harder .
I have been a bit stop start but this week has been good and I have done something every day .
I still keep defaulting to move though as I just find the familiarity and closer to 20 minutes easier to manage.
Did day 20 today and need to remember this is an absolute favourite. I struggled with the side planks though.

I was really short of time yesterday and I did a random session where Adriene was on a beach - oh my goodness it was so fast !

I am not doing this for vain reasons but I was very pleased today when DH saw me in a sleeveless top and exclaimed at my yoga arms.

Rummikub · 31/07/2022 01:27

Thanks everyone
So it turns out I might have asthma as a result!

Im going to try one of the sessions suggested above. Even if I just start for now to get my brain in gear and hopefully my body will catch up!

Compliments on yoga arms sounds amazing!

drspouse · 31/07/2022 11:54

I have been meaning to do thIs (I've done yoga most days since having COVID at the start of the month) but mainly really short ones. Going to try for August.

Sooverthemill · 31/07/2022 12:03

@Rummikub I discovered I had asthma few years ago. Genuinely think the yoga breathing helps. Hope it all settles
@Shinyandnew2022 yay to yoga arms. I have yoga legs apparently! I do love feeling toned and don’t mind that I’m a bit vain 😂
@drspouse do join us. I think july we’ve been a bit rubbish with so much going on but hoping for more people rejoining us in August ( including myself!) I miss the discipline of all of us doing the same

are we all up for Move again for August? Let me know

OP posts:
drspouse · 31/07/2022 12:08

August is Begin so I think I'll try that.

BestIsWest · 31/07/2022 12:52

I’m up for move in August too. I preferred it though I learned new things from True. I think I’ll skip the ones I don’t get much from like day 8 and do something else.
I like to think I’m toned under the flab.

guinnessguzzler · 01/08/2022 10:10

Sorry everyone, I have been totally AWOL. School holidays haven't helped. Is there a plan / new thread for August? So keen to push myself to get back to it.

guinnessguzzler · 01/08/2022 10:11

Just spotted your post there @Sooverthemill I'm up for anything that gets me back into a proper routine with it!
