January fitness

[wendy james]

That’s a big jump Pip. Is that for everyone or is the end of your intro period causing it?

Handstands today, in a top that I now know falls down. I’m definitely better than last time I went.

This week is full of client meetings and I won’t get out to my usual lunchtime spin. I need to see if I can shuffle things about.

Good position!

I realised that last time I went skiing I was dancing twice a week and trampolining once so was fairly fit. This time I’m only dancing once or twice a week so my core and fitness are definitely not what they were. So I forced myself onto the treadmill this morning and back into the C25K programme. I chose a Week 4 session and didn’t die so that was good. I might go straight into Week 5 next.

Are you going skiing soon?

Gym this morning for chest presses (flat/incline) and raises (front/lateral) then a bit of cross trainer. Spin this lunchtime, and I'll go do some calisthenics and stretches when the girls swim tonight.

[wendy james]

did RPM 85.

I like this one as a 30min or full length.

I cancelled kettlebells due to awaiting my test result and I’ve used the time to do a HIIT catch up.

[Dutchie]

HIIT on Friday, swimming Saturday and 10 k walk with Mr D yesterday, so I felt I deserved a relative rest day (except for a 15 minute bike ride).

I missed your headstand photo! That's impressive.

A walk tonight.

[Estrella]

Excellent handstand!

I did Step 123 for Monday and Pump 99 today.

We’re due to go in Feb half term now France will let us in.

Step 122 for Weds. Don’t love that one. Today was going to be Pump but I’m feeling a bit wiped out so won’t bother. Been doing well at getting steps in this week though.

[mojojojo]

Well done everyone! I’ve done nothing for over a week due to a combination of cold and feeling generally crap.

Back to running club last night though and felt ok.

[H1ppychick]

Three classes today but none of them high energy - yoga at lunchtime, Spirit followed by Pilates this evening. I do have BodyPump booked for tomorrow though.

[mojojojo]

3 mile run this morning. It was freezing!

[bramblerose]

We ran last night. It was also freezing!

We're up to 2 x 12 minutes with a 3 minute walk.

[Estrella]

Just walking here for the past couple of days. I’ll do Pump tomorrow for definites.

[wendy james]

Tuesday was squats, Wednesday was my class, Thursday was deadlifts. I've skipped this morning as I'll go tonight and do calisthenics/stretching.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I did Pilates via FaceTime last night. Everyone else was there in the village hall and I was at home. It was nice to move but did leave me very tired.

I’ve got HIIT and fitness tests to do today. I’m going to pop some paracetamol for my headache and give it a go. I think it’s an “indoors” headache, you know the type you get from central heating.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I’m pretty pleased with this, all things considered.

[Dutchie]

I've been a bit shit this week...did a couple of short workouts but hurt something on the inside of my knee on Wednesday and haven't been able to do anything since. Hoping to go for a run tomorrow as it feels a lot better tonight. I feel I need to do something after getting KFC with Jake tonight!

I’m pretty pleased with this, all things considered.

Oh, I saw that earlier Pip - well done!
