Had no idea you could feel so knackered at home with your clothes on!

"we don't have to take our CLOTHES OFF to go out running OH NO"

"we could maybe try that NEXT WEEK and scare the neighbour's dog UH HUH"

Hmm. Might put some more thought into that song πŸ•Ί

So this afternoon I thought I'd give these strength πŸ’ͺ class-things a go.

Here's what I did:

15 squats

30 secs plank

30 secs side plank

30 secs other-side plank

15 squat thrusts

20 plank walks (first 10 right arm down first, latter 10 left arm down first)

x 3

I've not felt this, um, well, impacted I suppose, since I did Zumba Strong classes.

If this hasn't done anything for me then I'll be amazed. I guess it would be like when you sometimes wake up with the feeling of a hangover when you know last night you drank 0% alcohol - isn't that annoying!

I'll definitely be doing this again, though it brings a different meaning to 'rest' days - I definitely don't feel rested right now πŸ˜„

I've posted this on the just-found Strength & Flex forum - so if you see it there after this then just ignore it please πŸ˜…

If anyone particularly wants to see what state I was in after then I'll think about adding on a picture 😳

Heck, do you think the world is ready? :D My pilates coach has come up with a new and ingenious way of inflicting post-class pain. It involves wearing a latex band around your thighs while doing squats. I'm about to go out for a run to test out the results. (Gulp)

haha 🀣 world is ready lol

Ooh as if squats and squat thrusts aren't hard enough! I heard someone recently say that pain was the body getting rid of weakness - balderdash!

I hope you have a great run today, the weather's lovely. Let us know how you get on πŸ€—
