One thing this week

As I am reading through the replies to the personal markers I see that we are all having a similar issue to the things we don’t deep down want to do even though we know it is good for us. For me it is bit of stretch work. If I can avoid it I will. I know it is one of the best things for me and I can do it I a little bit of time compared to some of my other training it is a doddle to fit in at home, but saying that do I do it every week, No I don’t most times I would rather go out for. A 2km walk instead. For the last three weeks leading up to my HM I did it 2-3 times every week because my physio was keeping an eye on me and now I’m back to trying my best to avoid it

So I thought we could try a different motivation for June. Add in one thing for the week you know you should do but don’t like. Let’s all try and push our comfort zones a bit. It is a weekly challenge so you can change what you want to do each week. We will put a post up each week and all you have to do is tell us what it is your attempting this week and keep us informed on how you got on with it.

Good luck

Decisions decisions, do I keep the squats in and add something else or do I just stick with the squats for another week as I only just managed to add them in last week. 😀.

I think I will stick with the squats with an OK you’ve done your squats why not try a hooping session sort of thing. Both things I want to add in permanently to my routines but am nowhere near close to them being second nature yet.

Main one is the squats though.

Have a great week everyone.

Great idea! OK. Here goes. 30 mins home strength routine - allow for foot issues, mix it up, but make it a minimum of 30 mins for 3 days during the week (more if it proves too wet to cycle 3 days during the week).

Great idea, I love getting some of my least favourite exercises out of the way on a Monday. I did my squats earlier 😀. Rfc x

Well done! I even threw in some squats as my errant foot quite likes the weight through my heel, so no real excuse not to 😀

I’m going to continue to add squats. Getting better at them! I’ve added them to calf raises and seated calf lifts.

I have to do calf raises, physio work. They do work. Good luck.
