Re: March exercising
BodyPump is awful if you even have one week off so well done.
I started to do a Les Mills hiit this morning, realised it’s hideous and switched to a core workout instead. Still not great, but somehow feels more manageable to me. Plus Corey.

Well done Hippy! (And Pippy)
I tried a “scenic” ride on the peloton today as I wanted something fairly easy to fit between yesterday’s efforts and tomorrows long run. I quite enjoyed doing my own thing and it ended up being a half decent interval session.

Re: March exercising
Strong start to the month here. Hope your run was good, TC.
I decided doing Step Remix 2 whilst mildly hungover today was a good idea. I sweated out the wine and burnt off 550 cals. Then I lay on the floor for a bit to recover.

Re: March exercising
Splits class went well and I’m closer to my standing box splits by an inch. I don’t need to measure my front splits as I have them but it’s good to see other’s progress! Then I went for a run.

16 miles training run this morning. Really struggled in the last half a mile and my legs have totally seized now!

Re: March exercising
Crikey, I am so far behind where you are. I also have that dreaded feeling of everything seized up two days after the actual run. Still, there was dancing in the evening on top of that I guess and it is kind of nice to at least being able to hit these distances again for the first time in a long time.
I was going to go for another one tonight but no, I need to rest up so Wednesday will be my next jaunt.

Patience is definitely the way to go Dancing is terrible for DOMS, in my experience

Re: March exercising
I’m a bit DOMS-y myself after all the BodyPump this weekend after having >2 weeks away from it, but more annoying is the fucked Achilles I picked up yesterday. I had to bin off today’s yoga and dance classes and I was hobbling like a 90-year old when I popped out to the shops earlier.
Does anyone have any good suggestions for rehabbing an Achilles sprain?

Re: March exercising
Sproglette and I went to the gym this morning and did some lower body stuff. Pilates at lunch and then a swim this evening before coming home and doing a remote backbends class. Monday is a bit busy.
Yin yoga yesterday was lovely. I wouldn’t even really consider it exercise, more a complementary practice alongside like trigger point release or getting a sports massage.

Hippy, that sounds like an ice and rest situation to be honest.
Step 118 (45 min version) this afternoon.

Re: March exercising
Re. achilles, my physio friend was very firm on no single leg stuff, loading it very carefully once the pain subsides. She also said not to use ibuprofen & let my body’s inflammatory response do its thing.
I did kettlebells last night.

Re: March exercising
Thanks Est and Pip, that's helpful. It's improved somewhat already, I think it's helped that I've been pointing and flexing my foot every time I think about it since yesterday evening, it's loosening up a bit. I did have ibuprofen this morning but that was for an unrelated issue, and I shouldn't need to take any more.
I did do Pump this morning because that's fairly static poses from the perspective of foot movement (and I didn't do the lunges) so I could work around it.

Re: March exercising
That’s what I figured in Pump. Squat through the lunges.
Elevate it where possible too and don’t over work it? I know what you mean about flexing it to see if it still hurts.

mojojojo - ooh - please be my friend on peloton - I've just got one and the only friends I have so far are Mr P and Chicky
I've just done my first ride in Week 3 of the You can Ride programme - (90s ride) - hardest one for me yet, but I am keeping up.
Wenders - the Grime shadowboxing class we did on Sunday was really good fun, but we both felt it the next day (and the day after, and my right elbow is still a bit sore today) - really good upperbody counterbalance to the bike stuff though so we're going to try some more of those classes. I managed to keep up for the first half, but was definitely flailing around all over the place by the end.

Re: March exercising
That does sound good. Is it part of Peleton programming?
Elvis and I went for a run this morning, then P got a bonus night off so I cancelled my TRX class and we went to badminton with Sproglette instead.

Yes, it's part of the peleton stuff. I think I might have some guest passes to the peloton app though.
