I managed to fit in going to the gym.

Now I know you can squat and plank at home it takes literally only a few minutes, BUT, the truth of the matter is I just donโ€™t. I like to fit them in at the end of a weights workout in the gym just before I leave. I donโ€™t know what it is about not doing them at home but I have accepted the fact and work with that information ๐Ÿ˜€.

So for this week.

Squats โœ”๏ธ

Planks โœ”๏ธ

Oldfloss I did it ๐Ÿ˜€.

Have a good day everyone

I have the same problem, when Iโ€™m off the IC Iโ€™m going to really, really, really try harder.

I donโ€™t know what it is, I think when I am at home I just see so much else that needs doing๐Ÿ˜‚. Hope you are up and about soon. Rfc xxx

I set up a mini gym at the end of last year for the winter and it was great, I have out grown my little weights now, I might invest in some for this winter. Last year I went flying flat on my backside trying to get to my gym when it was icy so I need to be prepared. Rfc x

I was looking at those dumbbells where you can dial up the weight... the one I was looking at would have only been ยฃ500 a pair ๐Ÿคฃ

I can look at them...

Donโ€™t think thereโ€™s any chance Iโ€™d be buying them, I can get 4/5 pairs of shoes for the same money!

Iโ€™m not sure about that I was getting tired just reading all you have done ๐Ÿ˜€, great going. I do feel better for it, over all the six months I have a lot less niggles and my hamstrings and ankles are so much stronger, I am beginning to feel a bit more power in my run now ๐Ÿ˜€. Rfc x

Are you still doing those ankle exercises I have you a link to? I find they really help..x

My physio progressed me on to standing on a step on tip toes going up and down on one leg really hard but they are working well. I was trying to find a video but I canโ€™t see one, how you getting on with yours?

I do things like that too, waiting for the kettle to boil is a good time too ๐Ÿ˜€ Rfc x

I am impressed, well done ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜€. Unfortunately I have failed to do any strength exercises since starting a new job at the beginning of September ๐Ÿ˜ž. Although I have managed two runs a week and post run stretching ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thank you. It is so hard with a change of routine to settle everything into place, well done for getting your runs and stretch work in though, that is great. Rfc x
