We need you on Strength & Flex!!! 💥

[Realfoodieclub]

Please come over and have a look at the new invigorated Strength and flex forum.

One You (NHS Choices). Would like us to move every day with a variety of cardio, strength and stretches to keep us as fit as we can be.

Running every day is possible but it is so very hard on the body and not recommended for everyone, it doesn’t help us keep our fitness rounded so as we progress we all tend to look for something else. Some (or maybe it is just me 😀) have trouble with the motivation for this.

I will be honest it took me five years and finding a challenge that worked for me to religiously do my strength and stretch work weekly during my endurance training season. I need to work towards something and have motivation to make it work.

For me it was the RED or move every day in January that got me going. I then found I had a fellow motivator in Unfitnomore (the newest administrator/ motivator on S&F) since then we have been supporting each other and are working towards move every day in 2019.

This the scope of things One You/HNS recommends you could try on your days off running.

We are hoping to get little clubs within the S&F forum to support sports like cycling, gym, swimming, yoga, Pilates and a variety of exercises, but we need you!

These forums work because we talk, share, encourage and motivate, we need founding members to get the ball rolling, so please if you could help get us started I would really appreciate some help getting posts up on different spots and activities.

There will be badges and challenges to work towards as well. There s a new challenge starting April 1st.

I Look forward to seeing what other exercises you get up too

I will be over there very soon as my HM training plan is coming to an end. Sounds like it could be very timely motivation for me 🙂. Thanks for letting us know.

Brilliant, looking forward to seeing you. We could help with post HM stretches. 😀.

Yea! I need to do something. Did the Strength & Flex for a while (with the warmup & stretching on X2 because I did them during the explanation) but I find it really difficult to motivate myself. For some reason, I find it much easier to go out running than to exercise in the house.

I’m thinking of trying a Pilates class and maybe going swimming (might even persuade the rest of the family to join me).

There are so many of us who find the Stregnth and stretch side harder. Swimming with all the family sounds good, at least if one wants to go you will have less reason to back out 😂. I swim once a week but I have to pack my bag on auto pilot and set off, for some reason I don’t relish going out in the cold to jump in a pool in the winter, at least it is easier as the weather gets warmer. We can all help each other to keep going. Rfc x
