Regular moderate exercise log

[Goonergal]

Today’s exercise was a Pilates session and 16,008 steps, which accumulated just by going about my day.

Feel like a total melt after all the excellent exercise from other people today. Finally manged 7 hrs sleep after 2 weeks only for it to be rather hot! One's Bromleys were not very active today may just about clock 12k by bed time.

@ianpspurs I agree with you about the excellent efforts everyone has posted and feel very feeble in comparison.

I’ll probably just about manage 10,000 steps by bedtime, even if it means walking up and down the kitchen for 10 mins.
Did 15mins (5k) on the exercise bike too.

Haven’t done much for a few days and my bg levels today reflect that. Need to up my game.

Decided to bench last night and squat tonight, so did 90kg 5x6 followed by decline and bicep curls, run of the mill last night so hopefully squats actually get done tonight.

 

[Goonergal]

Gentle day today. 12,493 steps. Shins a bit sore.

 

[ianpspurs]

I have no idea if I have lost my mojo, the heat is too much for me or some medical issue other than diabetes but absolutely pooped by doing nothing today. I just stood willing the last chicken to go in to roost so I could then put the dogs to bed! Swimming lesson, carried the 20kg chicken feed to and from the car and lifted into the hopper + basic 11K steps. Real effort to make the steps so hopefully I am not doing more harm than good.

I think it’s the heat @ianpspurs you haven’t been a slouch though by any means.
I barely managed 10k steps but made myself do Johnpol’s core exercises this evening plus 5 mins squats ( holding each squat for 30sec so 5 in all) and a couple of other things Ive remembered from the gym class.

Hope the shins ease up a bit @ Goonergal

Well last nights session definitely didn't go to plan!! I couldn't get under a squat bar to save my life! So I ended up in discussion with my old coach and trying a few tricks to loosen up my shoulder, so I tried for an hour to stretch and finally ended up under the bar, sort of, maybe, possibly!! But I will get on the platform competing in November. Just gotta believe I will.

Winner for showing that winner's attitude which I reckon will see you on the platform come November. Hug for the shoulder problems.

Thanks for the hug. Its becoming a big issue at the minute, but I have a plan for next year so I have to get through this shoulder issue, but with some help and guidance from my coach we both feel that I can still get there!! and I will!

20,950 today happy but tired. Night all xx

 

[Goonergal]

Another resting day. Couple of short walks but didn’t quite hit the 10k mark - 9,468.

Off on holiday tomorrow, which will involve lots of walking, but not much posting on the forum!

Fantastic effort ma'am especially in the heat

@johnpol terrific attitude, I know you’ll be on form by November, don’t see how you can fail with such determination.

I did some yoga in the garden today and got a shock when I was joined be next door’s new puppy ( no I wasn’t doing downward dog!) he’d found the hole in the fence.

12k steps

25 mins swimming. No idea how many lengths that was, I never count.

@Goonergal have a brilliant holiday.

@DJC3 Great news definitely recovered your mojo today excellent news.

 

[ianpspurs]

Very interesting how two days seemingly the same can feel very different or make you feel very different. About the same steps as yesterday and static cycle about same as swimming but feels as though I did better. 13K steps and 25 mins on exercise bike which Decathlon Coach chest HR recorded as average 128 bpm.

15, 080 today

 

[ianpspurs]

A very hot day spent in a hotel spa/leisure complex with Mrs P. Tried my best to make the most of facilities but stayed away from weights. 45 mins dog walk before setting off, 25 mins on rowing machine followed immediately by 25 mins on the static bike. Used sauna and steam room then lunch. 25 mins swimming in afternoon with another session in each of steam room and sauna. Finished off with an hour's back and leg massage. Now taking lots of water on board but feeling I did ok today.

I've been doing my walking early morning and later in the evening whilst it's so hot! Also freezing bottles of water for keeping everything in my work backpack cool. Just need to stop my students demanding the bottles to cool down with... I've had to promise to bring more in tomorrow.
