LovesToWet 3,800 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 @Sophie@Sophie it's good to get out though isn't it. I also went for a ride this morning. Made the mistake of being under dressed. It felt fine when I took out the rubbish before going for a ride but when I got out and got out into the countryside, the roads turned white and my hands froze so I turned around. Only managed 15miles 1 Link to post

Only managed 15miles It was really nice to get out, especially because the roads were fairly quiet. My hands were absolutely frozen! I did about 10 miles in total so you did a lot better than me. The cold air was hurting my throat and I have a slight headache which I think is also related to the cold, I've been home for only a few minutes so I'm still thawing out. 1 2 Link to post
Popular Post Bacardi 10,134 Posted December 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2022 Hey I'm joining the sports club again lol. I got a mini treadmill for Christmas! Because walking is my favorite thing to do and I've lost a significant amount of weight doing it in the past. I want to work up to running on it but right now my stamina isn't there and truthfully I've never been a runner (see: gigantic DD boobs). Just yesterday I managed to walk a mile in half an hour. At work I can walk between 3 and 5 miles, so my goal is to be able to supplement my work exersise when I'm at home. So at some point I'm hoping to be able to walk for a little while longer too. We will just have to see when we get there. For now its Christmas and my diet is not that great so I'm cutting myself some slack lol. 6 Link to post

I certainly don't blame you for enjoying Christmas, it's too nice not to enjoy off the food and drink. Hope you had a great time Link to post
Popular Post Kupar 13,339 Posted December 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2022 OK. I have finally had a chance to think about this. Here's what I'll be aiming for to kick the year off, and I am asking for your help in pushing me to do it. January Run twice a week 35 miles run in the month in total 2 x 30-minute strength / flexibility exercise sessions per week February Run three time a week 45 miles run in the month in total 2 x 40-minute strength / flexibility exercise sessions per week Let's see if I can do it. I have a spreadsheet 😉 3 2 Link to post

Only managed 15miles Reminds me of the time I was determined to go for a swim….I wore a wetsuit into my parents pool, and when I got out my parents told me my feet had turned blue, so, there goes that idea! I love swimming, but the water is always cold here! 1 Link to post

I have a spreadsheet 😉 Do you have a timetable; do you plan to do these exercises at a regular time/day during the week or do you just fit them into your day the best you can? I always wonder whether morning or afternoon exercise is more beneficial. It is hard for me to fit exercise in as I get up stupidly early, spend 3 hours on the road each day commuting, and my work has no hills or stairs, it is all flat. I have exercise videos, but it is hard to access the TV with all the gamers in my house! I got “Let’s Get Fit” on the Nintendo Switch for Christmas so, if I can get access to a spare TV, maybe I can start with that! I have been successful in losing weight before just by running around my backyard right before bed. 😊 (it means my body can burn fat as I fall asleep and there is no chance of me snacking after exercise!) Good luck with your routine and I know your spreadsheet will cheer you on! Do you have a specific goal or aim to motivate you? Mine is to fit into my clothes better. Previously my goal was to be fit enough to get around Japan and run for the trains. That was a more exciting goal! 😊 Travel always motivates me! Link to post

My main goal has always been to ensure I am healthy as I get older. I want to make sure I don't drop dead of a heart problem, or shuffle around as a bent-over old man. Also, I am quite vain and I want to look as good as I can lol. I prefer running in the morning, ideally between ten and lunchtime, but indoor strength/mobility work I can do at any time. Good luck with finding a way to use the Switch 🙂 1 Link to post
