Looking for some different ‘exercise’?!

[Sybilw]

I’ve a scan tomorrow and I’ve not to exercise today. No running - that’s understandable, but here is the complete list. 🤷‍♀️ Who knew?

Lol!!!

Holding a baby or knitting would probably stress me out quite a bit actually - but only because I'm a complete novice at both those activities 😊😊😊

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to roseabi]

Both calming for me!

[Deals1 Graduate10]

knitting!!! hahah. Hope all goes well

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Deals1]

I thought it was hilarious! Thanks 🤞🏻

[Deals1 Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

Maybe speed knitting... 😊 😂😂

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Deals1]

With a baby on your lap!

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

😂🤪

[Bridget007]

Knitting? 😲 Incase you build up your arm muscles 😂😂😂 hope your scan goes well.

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

Thank you. I’ve got very large (3ft) knitting needles but stil . . .!

[LoungeLizaard Graduate10]

Can you knit 5,000 stitches in 30 mins? 🤣 hope all goes well.

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to LoungeLizaard]

Thank you. 🤞🏻

My two days with small runner in training...now she is 2 and a half, count as hard workout days.... lifting, walking...run/walk buggy work... up and down stairs for changing nappies etc..... carrying and generally non stop play... I feel brilliant !!! Run days are a rest

All the best for the scan

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

I look after my grandchildren. 2 to take to and from school and a 1 year old all day. Tried not to carry her too much today but she’s not walking yet! My main stress will be getting to the appointment for 8.15 having to navigate the M25. 🤞🏻

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to Sybilw]

Gosh... another awesome Grammy... how wonderful....Slow and steady today and I hope all goes well x

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

I always thought knitting helped with relaxation 😂😂

All the best for your scan.

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

I’m tempted to challenge them on both counts! Thank you.

[Fabulous450 Graduate10]

Knitting!! 🥴 Who knew indeed! 😂 Hope all goes well Sybilw! ❤️

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

Thank you Fab. Think I should let the strength and flex group know!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10]

Knitting???? I’m confused.

Holding a baby is just good to avoid in general, I’ve read “keep away from children” on lots of leaflets in tablet packets 😂

I think they get you to drink so much for the fun factor... they know they will be running at least an hour late by the time you get there and you have to try to hold it in... I reckon they have a sweepstakes on what time each patient will have to go to the loo.

Hope all goes well.

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

🤣🤣. Thank you

[over61andstilltrying Graduate10]

Astounding! I do hope that your scan goes well.

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Thank you. Time will tell. 🤞🏻

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

All the best Sybil. I hope you have just been lying around doing nothing listening to whale music 🎧 🎵 🎶 🐳.

[BestLife19]

As an avid knitter this has made my day😂😂😂😂. If I knit on the train tomorrow I wonder if that would count as 40 mins of cardio or strength...

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to BestLife19]

As far as I read it - yes! 🤣

[lollytwist Graduate10]

I actually find knitting quite relaxing! I do feel sorry for anyone with a baby who needs a scan though 🤪

[Sybilw Graduate10]

Both thing are what you need to do to calm you down the day before a scan I’d say!

[grumpyoldgirl]

Maybe they mean not at the same time?? Knitting while horse riding could be quite tricky😂😂😂

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Now there’s a challenge!! But where would we put the baby?!

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

In a papoose on your back? 😳

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Granspeed]

😁

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Granspeed]

Sorted!

[Couchpotato2]

The stresses of knitting!

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Couchpotato2]

😂

[Pianism Graduate10]

I'd never thought of some strenuous knitting as an option. Would I put it under cardio or strength in my plan, I wonder?....

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Pianism]

Hedge your bets - a bit of both! 😂
