Regular moderate exercise log

[Goonergal]

No swimming - absolutely shattered, but a decent amount of walking, most of it speed, 19,262 steps.

 

[ianpspurs]

Well, at least he tried. Swimming lesson, 11.5k steps and 25 mins on exercise bike

A measly 12k ish steps today and nowt else.
Could do better.

Bench press last night and was astonished at how easy it felt, 95kg 5x5, then my coach tweaked a couple of things I had gotten complacent at and my word!! I did three singles and the 95kg felt like fresh air!! Hopefully I can keep the momentum going for the rest of the week.


Take care everyone.

40 minutes on exercise bike not to be sniffed at. Glorious weather in Hannover - shorts and t-shirt and up to mid 20s every day. A very walkable city with plenty to see and do. Inadvertently wandered into the red light district yesterday afternoon!

I’m off to Hannover next week so glad to hear it’s very walkable
14k steps Monday but only 11k steps yesterday :-(

It’s fab. Only resorted to the ubahn once and that was because I was in a hurry. Really interesting town. Check out Food Brother for awesome burgers and there’s a great Turkish restaurant in a residential bit of the old town. Will try and find name and post later.

Just 10k steps today, plus Aquafit class and 20 mins swimming lengths afterwards.
My arms ache a bit now - its surprisingly hard pushing the ‘weights’ around under the water ( they are floats in the shape of dumbbells so the effort is keeping them submerged as well as moving them about)

A light gym session for me as I took my 11 year old for her induction there, did 3 sets of 60 crunches, lots of light bottoms up kettle bell press sets, some battle ropes (I'm enjoying these as they loosen my wrists up) then had a run and a row alongside the little one before getting her on a mat to introduce crunches and the plank.

Currently she disagrees she'll thank me for it later

Not much done today but in mitigation I was up and testing bg by 2.20, your honour. 30 mins exercise bike @ 4.30; 11.5k steps.

 

[Goonergal]

Not much for me today either. Working from our sub office and stuck in meetings most of the day. 30 minute walk to catch bus first thing and a walk along the Thames in between meeting an old colleague and dinner plus assorted bits and bobs came to 14092 steps.

Just a leg session for me, I didn't finish work in time for the pool so took child to the gym, usual exercises but one legged so no squats, just a machine, in-between supervising child as I noticed poor form on the rowing machine

To finish I actually ran 2km on a treadmill

 

[ianpspurs]

Slightly more sensible start toady - 4.20 - but no early exercise bike. 17k steps with the aim of doing just enough in case 2 early starts were a stress factor for bg.

26,000 steps today

 

[Goonergal]

Ridiculously early start yesterday and a slow day. Just over 10k steps getting from a to b plus a Pilates class. Have been moved up a level, so a bit more challenging than the beginners class I had been attending.

 

[ianpspurs]

Rightly or wrongly feeling quite pleased with today. Doubled weights and did 3 sets of 6 of 10 exercises then 20 minutes exercise bike at a faster pace than usual with some sprints. Will be 15k steps. Nothing special but miles away from where I was in September.

 

[Goonergal]

@ianpspurs me thinks you’re being too modest. Sounds like a great effort.

Quite pleased with my day too. Intended an evening gym visit but ditched it in favour of a very long walk in the glorious late afternoon sunshine. Plotted a route from work back home alongside water and through parks. That walk alone was just over 20k steps (brisk). Added to 30 minute lunch time walk and various odds and ends step count of 29576, of which 24k were aerobic.

Feeling decidedly sleepy now.

 

[DJC3]

Some brilliant posts here today.
I did 15 mins hiit type exercise cycling before breakfast. Then a 1 hr rehab gym class this morning.
Just over 12k steps in all.

Saturday shoulders, and again with the kettle bells before dumb bells, this one handed stuff's hard work but one more week of it coming up before going back to the usual stuff, I think as I age I'll have to find alternative methods for training to manage strains and the like.

Still good fun tho

Rest day today. Shattered after a very restless night. Clocked up 9.5k steps pottering about.
