Dieting & exercise

Remember ha thread where we stated what Xmas jobs we intend to do that day, and then came on later and said whether we had done them or not? Well.

Tomorrow I will do another half hour on my exercise bike.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 01-Jan-16 21:04:39

I might do it all on my own.

I think you have all got the wrong idea of the thread.

Never mind.

Exercise classes which I normally attend 4-5 times a week don't get going again until next Monday, so just doing my usual daily 10-15,000 steps. Turned on TV earlier to find it was tuned to shopping channel, advertising www.beachbody.co.uk/product/fitness-training/hip-hop-abs.do?code=HIPHOPABSCOUK
which looked fun, so ordered the DVDs. I suffer from vertigo, therefore hate lying-down abdominal crunches etc. this works abs from standing up. I have a stack of fitness DVDs which rarely get used, but you never know, I might enjoy them, even if only to admire the men's six-packs!

Walked 3 miles through Grantchester Meadows and back.
Won't manage anything tomorrow as we'll be travelling back up north all day, unless I remember to do stretching & toning and the plank before we set off.

Yes. That counts. Any exercise.

Wow, I couldn't walk 2 miles these days let alone 7.
I've done my physio exercises for my neck/shoulder. Does that count smile

I tried jogging once, but my cigarette kept going out.

I walked 7 miles this afternoon and feel worn out!!

I have been on a four mile walk through the woods down to the River Mersey. It was very quiet...just a few dog walkers and the golf course was empty.
I have done very little exercise for the last few weeks as I had the cough from hell so need to try to get fit again.

I'll start the ball rolling. I have done half an hour exercise biking to Guns'n'roses. and I have got a numb fanny

Tomorrow I will have a small exercise day. Twenty minutes dancing in the hall (parquet flooring - no carpet to wear out) to Ken Bruce. Or Abba.

I meant 'that thread' in the title. Sorry.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 01-Jan-16 10:47:45

How about a thread where we say what exercise we intend to do that day? And then come on say whether we did it? Or not?

You wouldn't have to necessarily do anything huge. No five thousand miles or anything like that. Half hour walking, twenty minutes dancing to Ken Bruce, riding your bike into town if you've got one, (icyalittle has) would be fine. In fact, we would actually have a ban on anything superhuman. smile

Anyone up for it?
