★★★ UPDATE: 2,137min so far! That’s almost 10%! ★★★

Woohoo!! We‘ve exercised, lifted weights, rode horses, swam in open waters, rowed indoors, cycled outdoors, did both Pilates and Yoga, and wobbled our way through planks and squats towards our goal of reaching 22,320 minutes of workouts.

No belly-dancing yet that I could spot, but I think lawn-mowing with a push mower should count, right?

There is plenty of focus on core, on knees, on cardio, on hips , and on glutes. Collectively we are in great shape.

Tim Peake (corrected 11/4/2021. I originally sent Tim Henman into Space 😂😂) spent 185 days and 22 hours in space, almost half a year! Like every astronaut he exercised 2 hours per day! That makes 372 hours during his time on the ISS. And yes, you guessed it, this is the equivalent of our goal of 22,320 minutes!

We are 7 days in our challenge and have achieved already almost 10% of his total number of hours during his 185 days.

So on to the next week of workouts, and let us know what was hard, or if you noticed how strength or flexibility improved in some way.

★★★So our instructions in short:★★★

- By reply let us know how many minutes you exercise? And tell us about it! Per week or per workout, your choice. We’d love to read your workout reports!

- I will tot it up on a weekly basis. It’s hopefully going to become our weekly chat for the whole S&F community.

- A new post of our weekly chat-challenge will come out on each weekend, with totals.

- And save this post if you want to get notified of new replies.

Let’s see how fast we can collectively beat Tim Peake!

Happy working out everyone !!

Hi so far in April I have done 7 sessions of fitness studio or YWA - but only 147 minutes in total I’m afraid - as the other 10 exercise sessions were running or walking (which I don’t think you are counting?) Oh well - every little counts😂

I’d say that’s great! Especially when considering it’s in addition to walking and running!👏👏👍🏽✔️📮

While I remember I have 53 mins of yoga and 45 mins of pilates to offer as at 13/4

CBDBAdministratorGraduate Gold in reply to linda9389

👍🏽 Woohoo. Both Pilates and yoga. Do you do both on alternate days, or both on one day?

linda9389 profile image
linda9389 in reply to CBDB

Pilates is a live Monday class on Zoom, the other is a recorded class so I fit it in when I can. The yoga was before and after runs - warm up or cool down - so would have been different days I think

Not a good week really as the hamstring /glute niggles continues and its left me feeling a bit fed up. No knee strength work at all 🙄 But the bright side is I'm now up to 50 seconds plank and 20 seconds each for the side plank from my daily practice. I've added some pigeon poses and extra stretches as well, plus the squats. So in total its 80 minutes for the week.
