I joined my lovely youngest daughter at the gym today, it's our first time since it opened a couple of days ago. I did 30 minutes of hill power walking on the treadmill, 20 minutes of Hiit training on the cross trainer, a leg exerciser where it works the inside and outside of the legs, arm weight machine and free weights.
I had my lunch then cycled just over 18 miles. I've been with the grandchildren the past couple of days and was itching to get on my bike.
Have a lovely evening all.
Stay safe and well.

The leisure centres here in Cardiff are reopening tomorrow which is a step forward and I think you have to book a place in advance with them from now on.

I'm glad they are opening and a good idea to pre book. Our gym was really good today, lots of space, not many people and plenty of cleaning stations.
Glad you enjoyed your gym time Alicia. It's good to get back to doing some of the things we enjoyed in the pre-covid19 world.

Thank you Sue and it certainly is, made even better to have my daughter with me.
Hi Jerry
Thank you and it was good day although I could feel the muscles in my legs walking downstairs😂
I mentioned to Jeff (hubby) that I've seen lots if horses with coats on and he said maybe they are being protected from the sun. It's been a lovely temperature here today, a proper sun heat, not muggy.
Hi, horses r m specialist subject so I thought I would share info on rugs, it’s dead simple, mostly why you see in summer are insect protection rugs🐎 Sometimes though people put rain sheets on their horses just to protect from a skin condition called rain scald . Too much info ? I can’t help myself!🐴
Hi Doubtfully, that's actually very helpful thank you and certainly clears that up, it certainly makes sense as the insects really do bother the horses and I didn't know about the skin condition
I think I must have strayed away from the fibromyalgia site! I can barely walk half a mile at one go! Let alone go to the gym or cycle. If not, can you please let me know what you are on? I'll have a bucketful, please!
I'm so sorry that you have difficulty and Fibro is awful so I really feel for you. I do what I do because you do not know what is around the corner and you have to live every day like it's your last. I don't mean to be morbid but what I'm saying is enjoy life as much as you can.
I'm glad you are able to do what you do. I simply have difficulty relating your ability to my day to day suffering with fibro, but with hindsight I suppose twenty years ago I was able to do far more than I can now. Keep on whilst you can! Take care and stay safe.
Too true. I also have IBS so do understand that, along with a multitude of other ailments that make up fibro, brain fog and anxiety being amongst the worst. I am almost 78 now and have been suffering over 35 years, but I suppose, as you say, in the overall scheme of things, I am a lot more fortunate than some, particularly in view of the current pandemic. It is also true none of us does know what is around the corner, and there is always something we can find to be grateful for and take pleasure from every day, however small.xx
Oh bless you and I think that anxiety is awful. I had very bad Emetophobia (fear of being physically sick) for many years. I recovered fully by hypnotherapy but then was bullied by the person I worked for and it came back with a vengeance. I've since had CBT and read through the Thrive Programme and am so much better.
I was diagnosed in 1996 with IBS and was fortunate as I had IBS C but then got food poisoning in November 2018 and it changed to IBS D with acute nausea, I couldn't cope with it. I'm much better now after following the low fodmap diet.
Very well said, I take a lot of pleasure being able to exercise and be out in the countryside which is on my doorstep as I love by the sea.
