November fitness

[Pippedydeadeye]

We’re three days in!

I’m trying to get back to doing something every day. Monday was Kettlecise, yesterday a walk in the sunshine at lunch and today I needed to return a library book & go to the supermarket but didn’t have much time so I cycled. It’s the furthest I’ve cycled in months/years and I even did some bits at major junctions on the actual road like a real adult.

Hey Pippola. well done for the cycling, main roads are scary these days.

I am trying to keep my activities up as well. Monday was Spirit then a swim then Aqua, yesterday was Yoga. Today I had to cancel my lunchtime Pump class as a meeting got booked in but I've got drumming group tonight which at least is a little exercise, and I might make it to the gym later in the evening for a yoga class or failing that a swim.

I shall do my usual of telling you about it at the start of the month then not bothering as the month goes on.

Monday - some calisthenics at the gym while the girls were at the pool.
Tuesday - squats at the gym first thing, 15 mins of a spin class (my cough still hasn't shifted so I'm working my way back up!) at lunchtime then a run/walk session with the girls
Wed - calisthenics class this AM and we're dog walking later

[Pippedydeadeye]

Callisthenics sounds so 80s. Do you wear leg warmers?

[wendy james]

No.

I want to be able to do handstands and rings stuff, like the girls - https://www.instagram.com/p/CVLmVFgqDc1 ... _copy_link

Oh, I see now! Looks really cool and very much not Kids from Fame.

I did Pump on Monday, but won’t fit another workout in until
Friday morning. I have been going for a walk at lunchtime though just to get away from my desk/get some steps in.

Need to get into routine with full time days. It’s looking like I’ll manage 4 LMOD days and I’ll walk the other days.

[Estrella]

No.

That looks really cool!

[ParisGal]

Wow, a stance named after her!

[wendy james]

Deadlifts this morning and we're going climbing tonight.

Only in a very small world PG. Elvis came up with one at the weekend but I haven't seen that on IG yet. I'm not sure the trainer can do it herself based on what she was saying yesterday.

[mojojojo]

That looks both cool and super tough, Wendy!

Another slow start to the month here, but I am on holiday (of sorts). We’ve been out walking with the dogs every day, and I went for a half run/half walk (during which I got lost) this morning.

[H1ppychick]

I did my lovely lady's yoga class again this lunchtime and I'm booked on another couple of gym sessions this evening, plus Pump in the morning.

[Estrella]

I did Pump 100 this morning. Felt good!

[Estrella]

Step Remix 3 and a 2.5km incline walk on the treadmill today.

[wendy james]

Upper body at the gym last night, 20 mins of spin this morning.

[Pippedydeadeye]

Yesterday was Pump & Balance at the gym. It’s getting busier each week now. No kettlebells because the leisure centre has returned to its LARP-ing events. I wonder how many will get COVID there?

[Texaco Shirley]

Parkrun this morning. 2 minutes faster than last week (still actually quite slow) but still feeling the effects of Covid.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I had Dance Step this morning. R is away first two Sundays now, so I’ll have to try to do it from memory.

[H1ppychick]

A nice sunny walk this morning then BodyPump this evening, with a substitute instructor as the lovely Antipodean guy is apparently away this weekend. The sub was very good but not as easy on the eye.

[wendy james]

Yesterday was a lot of steps but nothing my Fitbit considered actual 'exercise'. I did a walk this morning followed by a short swim, and have the gym tonight. Probably overhead pressing based.
