@DJC3 how (quietly) exciting about the reflexologist!!
Yesterday nothing. Bad repercussions in the leg cramps department. Tonight as much as I had time for, 1.4 miles not slow but not really fast either.
Good night all!
Thought the kids had grown up and left the nest? (sorry couldn't resist an open goal)More quiet excitement.
Thought the kids had grown up and left the nest? (sorry couldn't resist an open goal)Very good exercise they say
Grow some carrots - rabbits love 'em2/3 have, but so has Mr C - he’s currently 250 miles away. Gardening is the pinnacle of excitement here.
Welcome to the thread @Controlnow. Don't know about anyone else for that version of HIIT but lots of us certainly use the idea in other ways. It is said to be very helpful.I watched a programme about efficient ways to exercise if you didn’t like the exercise Or struggling to get yourself motivated. He said instead of doing the 10,000 steps a day to use a HIIT technique. That that is walking briskly 3 times a day for 10 minutes. Briskly means walking so you can talk but wouldn’t be able to sing.
I am just starting to try this out, is any body else doing anything similar?

Welcome Controlnow! I’ve heard of that method, but I am the opposite in that I love the walks I take (but would hate to mess up my minimalist look with a pedometer/fitbit lol). I think anything that gets a person moving, and that they can sustain, is worthy of trying. 10 minutes can be walked inside an office building, out in a parking lot, at home, anywhere at all. How’s it going? And if you ever watch something about putting 27 hours in the day so I can go back to my old weight training, PLEASE let me know!!!
Right now I do something similar to you but as part of dog walking. Most usually as a separate session on exercise bike - at best in an exercise called sprint 8 https://sprint8.com/ but don't go from nothing much to this as the full thing is a beast if done properly. Very effective though.Thanks for the Welcome Ianspurs. What do you and others do for your HITT exercise? How you finding it ?
Love that attitude so winner for that.Squats on Saturday and I seem to have forgotten how to hit depth on even the simplest of weights 160kg 4x3 and all were high!! Dummy was ceremoniously thrown across the gym in frustration!! But I will make it happen, I have to.
Take care everyone.

Couple of afterthoughts. Do you have any heart issues or co-morbidity? I would also suggest, if you can afford it, buying a chest strap heart rate monitor to allow you to see if you are "over doing it", not pushing as hard as you could or getting it just right and, essentially, how quickly you return to normal.I am trying to easy myself in. I noticed that I am even struggling to get myself to go out 3 times a day for the 10 mins. So today I decided to do it all in one go. I am also including it in my dog walks. This seems to feel better and now if I do want to go out later that’s a plus.
