★★★ UPDATE: 7397 min so far! We are at 33%! ★★★

𝟟𝟛𝟡𝟟 𝕄𝕀ℕ𝕌𝕋𝔼𝕊!!! 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕚𝕤 𝕒 𝕞𝕒𝕛𝕠𝕣 𝕛𝕦𝕞𝕡! 𝕆𝕣 𝕤𝕢𝕦𝕒𝕥, 𝕠𝕣 𝕣𝕠𝕡𝕖-𝕤𝕜𝕚𝕡, 𝕠𝕣 𝕨𝕖𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕝𝕚𝕗𝕥... 𝔸𝕟𝕪𝕨𝕒𝕪... 𝕎𝕆𝕆ℍ𝕆𝕆𝕆!!!

Major jump this months! We’re collectively getting out there swimming and cycling, and indoor strengthening and flexing.

As some of you have read, my current quandaries at this time of the year revolve around how to fit it all into my mornings, as I like doing workouts and runs so much better in the morning than in the evening! But there are just not enough hours in the morning!

So out of curiosity, in your logging of minutes, let us also know if your doing these exercises in the morning or evening, or in a lunch break? And do you like doing your workouts more in the morning or evening? How do you fit it all in?

★★★So our instructions in short:★★★

- By reply let us know how many minutes you exercised?

- I will tot it up on a weekly basis.

- 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 !!

Forgot to post my minutes last week so that’s 300 minutes over last 2 weeks😊 (2 x 90 min yoga classes, 6 x stretches after runs and 4 x fitness studio strength and resistance)

I much prefer mornings for exercise but if not afternoon.

Has anyone tried the fitness studio Pilates on nhs ??

CBDBAdministratorGraduate Gold• in reply toalpacagirl4 years ago

Yeah, mornings. Me too.

Pilates: did you mean this one: nhs.uk/conditions/nhs-fitne...

It’s good! I liked doing it, some time ago.

alpacagirl• in reply toCBDB4 years ago

Yes that’s the one!

CBDBAdministratorGraduate Gold• in reply toalpacagirl4 years ago

Yeah, I think all the NHS Fitness studio workouts are great, as they are designed to accomplish all levels. So all the easy levels were doable for me and I started doing the intermediate ones, and all seemed fine! Let us know how it goes! 👍🏽

CBDBAdministratorGraduate Gold• in reply toalpacagirl4 years ago

I should have put it in the box, so here in it goes 📮✔️🤗

Maddee_63334 years ago

460 minutes walking! ☺️60 minutes strength

150 minutes exercise bike

And I much prefer morning workouts, even though I know I actually go faster on an afternoon run.

I fit exercise bike rides in while watching tv - or should that be, I fit tv in while exercise biking?

CBDBAdministratorGraduate Gold• in reply toMaddee_63334 years ago

Wow! That sunrise is stunning!

Faster in the afternoon, huh 🤔 is that maybe because of temperatures? So warming up is easier, you think? I think I am faster in the mornings, certainly the majority of my PBs happened all in the morning, but then the majority of my runs are morning runs.

Yeah, and it’s good to fit in a bit of tv whilst exercising! Just like listening to podcasts when running! 😁😁

460+60+150 💪✔️📮nice!

Maddee_6333• in reply toCBDB4 years ago

I did it so rarely, it’s possible that it was just because I’d had two meals by then.

Here’s my totals from 23rd April to 1st May...

Workouts: 163 minutes (2hrs 43)

Yoga: 167 minutes (2hrs 47)

Total: 330 minutes (5hrs 30!)

So my ‘workouts’ are usually pre run/walk warm ups, and are mostly done in the morning as that’s when I usually go out. If it’s a walking day, I still usually do them in the morning (regardless of walk)...because I do them lying on my bed 😉

The exception is any online workouts (I did a couple when it was raining)...which I did during the afternoon. As they’re standing workouts, I can do them in the dining room, or even on the landing.

Yoga is an evening workout...I need the living room floor, so wait until Mr. L has gone to bed. I also use yoga as a wind down for the end of the day anyway 🥰😴

CBDBAdministratorGraduate Gold• in reply toLottieMW4 years ago

I have to admit, I don’t do warmup workouts before running, just afterwards I do 12 min of stretches. I walk a solid 5min (winter 10min) to warm up for runs. But warmups in bed sound great!

And evening wind-down yoga sounds great as well, although when I resort to evening practice I really have to force myself to do them. Once done I’m always glad (and glowing) I did, but it takes more willpower for me to do them in the evening.

163+167+330 brill, got them ✔️📮👍🏽💪🙌

LottieMW• in reply toCBDB4 years ago

I’ve done them for years...not always religiously though! Based on post natal exercises primarily. Pelvic floor and core. I’ve added some more leg work, and recently some ‘wall press-ups’ to strengthen my arms (and reduce bingo wings 😂)

Then I always do runners stretches before and after a run...but I don’t time them.

If Mr. L wasn’t in the house all day, I might have the option...but I do like my wind down, part of my bed time routine. I was really shocking with staying up late, faffing about on social media...I now have to reign myself in and get more focused...

Fri 45 mins

Sun 80 mins

Mon 72 mins

Sun was tough, first time I've ever actually thought about not bothering, but I got there and of course felt better after.

All workouts are early morning either before work (earliest has been 03:40 but usually around 5am) or before I start my day on weekends/ days off.

CBDBAdministratorGraduate Gold• in reply toGoGo_JoJo4 years ago

5:00 wow!! 3:40 wower!!!

Brilliant!

✔️📮

GoGo_JoJo• in reply toCBDB4 years ago

I think I only managed a paltry 22 mins on the 3:40 day but only because I needed to get to work so early and I couldn't bear getting up any earlier 🤣🙈

Spot the day off?

GoGo_JoJo• in reply tolinda93894 years ago

Yep!! 🤣👍🏻 actually that was really late for me even on a day off! I think I did some chores first 🤔

linda93894 years ago

As at 7/5 I can give you:100 minutes of pilates,

7 minutes of yoga and

85 minutes cycling.

My workouts are all over the place - I ofyen have the intention in the morning but don't get round to it til evening! Let's just say my 'with my first cup of tea pilates' has yet to happen today!!!

CBDBAdministratorGraduate Gold• in reply tolinda93894 years ago

😂😂😂 I have phases, it seems. I’m still learning what patterns are the best fit depending on work patterns, seasonality, running intensity and other workouts. This shifting of patterns actually drives me crazy, as I think patterns and daily habits give me a huge security blanket.

CBDBAdministratorGraduate Gold4 years ago

I can add 173 min of Yoga from my daily practice. Will add everything up now!
