Fit is Fun!! Monday 29/06/2020 to Sunday 5/07/2020

•

Hello everyone and welcome to the Fit is Fun Club!

Fit for Fun is an all inclusive club to cover all activity and all abilities and the aim is for each of us to highlight our preferred activities and give us all new ideas for exercise.

This thread will be open from Monday to Sunday and a new one posted each Monday.

The idea is for you to post your exercise achievements from last week and your proposed goals for this coming week. This will not be a competition but declared plans are easier to stuck to and encouragement and support from fellow members are good motivators.

If you are used to post photos please feel free to post as many as you wish. (You have to do a separate post, then copy ans paste the link to your reply here).

This week I just cycled a bit and I ran once for 40 minutes. I still have to homeschool my children, luckily not every day now. They still have school until the end of July here...

Hopefully I’ll be able to exercise a little bit more next week!

I’ll be happy to read all about your achievements and your goals for next week!

I wish you all a great week!😊🍀

Thank you for hosting Madameirir

Thanks for hosting . I walk my 2 terriers daily . I have a garmin but took it off as I was obsessed I was averaging 12000 steps a day and would get upset if I didn’t do it so it was becoming unpleasant . May put it on again but it does take the pleasure out of walking for me . Since lock down I have been doing exercise on Zoom with my class . So Monday it is weights for an hr I only have beans in a tin for that . Wednesday it is super seniors keep fit followed by Pilates then Friday afternoon we do a stretch into the weekend class which is a gentle Pilates . Do not have much more time for any more exercise but will try and keep it up . I am not a natural at exercise so have to push myself lol .

Thanks for hosting this week I have had a fairly successful week- achieved most of my goals- 3 Wii exercises but still not achieved the magic bonus round I had thought I'd manage 7x10,000steps a day- but managed it for 6 days. quiet day at work yesterday so didn't get much walking done- but over the week I achieved 98097 steps (65.34km).

This week will be a bit of a challenge since I am doing nights which always takes me a day or 2 to recover from so my plans for this week is:

5/7 days 10000steps

3 x Wii exercise

300mins brisk walking

IndigoBlue61• in reply toRG075 years ago

Fabulous stats RG 😊👏🎉. You must be fit as a flea! Please be kind to yourself after those night shifts, have a good week 👍

RG07Maintainer• in reply toIndigoBlue615 years ago

I have no choice to be kind to

Myself after nights- I spend the day in the settee dozing off and on😄

• in reply toRG075 years ago

RG07Maintainer• in reply to5 years ago

Thank you and I didn’t have to force myself to do the Wii exercises

cheritorrox• in reply toRG075 years ago

Was that an "Alfie-free" week? Still very impressive as usual!

RG07Maintainer• in reply tocheritorrox5 years ago

Yes an Alfie free week but he will be back back end of next week for 5 days

cheritorrox• in reply toRG075 years ago

RG07Maintainer• in reply tocheritorrox5 years ago

xx20003kg• in reply toRG075 years ago

RG07Maintainer• in reply toxx20005 years ago

I’m not holding my breath! It not achieved by end of this week I go to next level

IndigoBlue615 years ago

Good morning Madameirir and thank you for hosting, what a lovely image you’ve chosen! I have wild poppies that self seed in my garden and love them

I had a good week, achieved my 150 minutes of ‘brisk’ walking according to the Active 10 App (Total walking 365 minutes, 157 brisk) ✅ plus two Yoga sessions.

This week it’s been a whole year since I was told the ankle fusion had been a Success and I was given permission to start rehabilitation, it’s been quite a journey! Also this week sees the start of public parks and garden re-opening up here in Scotland so all we need now is some nice weather, it’s like November here today! ☔️😱🌧🌊

Have a good week everyone 😊

• in reply toIndigoBlue615 years ago

Hello IndigoBlue!

You’re doing really well!! I hope the weather is going to be nice soon in Scotland!

Best wishes for your journey/ rehabilitation and for another successful year!!👍🍀😊💪

IndigoBlue61• in reply to5 years ago

Thank you, we managed a lovely hours walk in between showers 😊

• in reply toIndigoBlue615 years ago

Very nice!😊

cheritorrox• in reply toIndigoBlue615 years ago

Happy anniversary! And an AMAZING journey!! Keep it up gal and enjoy the parks (if not too crowded!)

IndigoBlue61• in reply tocheritorrox5 years ago

Thank you 😊

xx20003kg• in reply toIndigoBlue615 years ago

Congrats on your aniversary 👍🏼👍🏼 great your active minutes!! Hope that the weather changes soon. I can send you some Sun 😎

IndigoBlue61• in reply toxx20005 years ago

We’ve not done bad actually, had sunshine at some point every day this week so far, and just warm enough for me, about 15/16* 😂

xx20003kg• in reply toIndigoBlue615 years ago

Around 30-32 here 😆

IndigoBlue61• in reply toxx20005 years ago

Phew!! 🥵🥵🥵

RG07Maintainer• in reply toIndigoBlue615 years ago

Scotland and nice weather????? Maybe a big ask but 🤞

IndigoBlue61• in reply toRG075 years ago

I beg your pardon! We do very well on the East Coast but Shhhhhh 🤫🤫🤫 don’t tell anybody 😂

Minniewinny5 stoneMaintainer• in reply toIndigoBlue615 years ago

Incredible what changes a year can make, well done on your progress 🎉

IndigoBlue61• in reply toMinniewinny5 years ago

Thank you lovely x

cheritorrox5 years ago

Hola from hot España! Love the flower.

I managed 48.82 (6.97) so pretty happy with that .. still way below what I was doing last summer but I'm only going to aim to keep 5.5 average thru to September as it's still feeling an effort to go out!

IndigoBlue61• in reply tocheritorrox5 years ago

That’s fabulous Cheri! Well done you 😊👏🎉

cheritorrox• in reply toIndigoBlue615 years ago

Gracias xxx

xx20003kg• in reply tocheritorrox5 years ago

Hello! Great to see you back and improving! 👍🏼👍🏼

cheritorrox• in reply toxx20005 years ago

Gracias - I'm trying but still easier to sit in sun by the beach than get on with it! (But it IS a few km to my favourite chiringuito so not all bad!)

RG07Maintainer• in reply tocheritorrox5 years ago

Its getting better and its important to listen to your body especially when you have been unwell. Hopefully your lighter lockdown will remain in place since just heard another area has been shutdown again.

cheritorrox• in reply toRG075 years ago

Fingers crossed ... Torrox still has lots of empty space which helps!

Minniewinny5 stoneMaintainer• in reply tocheritorrox5 years ago

Well done on your keeping a balance for you 😊

A good result for the week too!

cheritorrox• in reply toMinniewinny5 years ago

Trying to keep it going!

5 years ago

Hello cheritorrox,

Thanks!

We are still living with the consequences of this lockdown so you’re doing really great!!! Good luck for next week!!💪🍀😊

cheritorrox• in reply to5 years ago

Gracias - trying to keep going and not buy any more chocolate mini-rolls (serious problems with sweet stuff at the moment!). ... beer not helping but hey one thing at a time (yes I know before anyone tells me that this is not great!) xxx

RG07Maintainer• in reply tocheritorrox5 years ago

Mine is crisps and having a bad time with it at the moment- not just small bags but the 150g ones not even hungry when I eat them and though I don't go in the shops to buy them and often have a very vigorous conversation in my head on why I shouldn't buy them I often successful until the end as I am going to the till- where they often have a box full on discounted crisps/snacks.

cheritorrox• in reply toRG075 years ago

Tee Hee!

xx20003kg5 years ago

Thanks for hosting! I LOVE your picture. Hope that this week you find also time for yourself with children at school, they can be very demanding at home!!.

Last week just one short run but more ella outside. An average of 6.8 km and 398 active minutes (almost 400 !! ) . This week i am on holidays so i dont know if i will have an active or lazy week. I am by the sea so i hope i can swim a little, and i have with me my running gear but i will see. It is too hot so i will have to wake up really early if i want to run .... Wake up early? On holidays? 🤔🤔 Not sure !!

Have a nice week everyone!!

• in reply toxx20005 years ago

Hello xx2000!

Thanks!

Very nice exercise!!! Enjoy your holiday and if you manage a run it will be great!!🍀👍😊

cheritorrox• in reply toxx20005 years ago

Enjoy the break - but keep distance!! So far Torrox beach OK but many more people to come ... might have to stick to hills and valleys round the Pueblo if gets silly ... for now my favourite chiringuito is open again and out of main bit of Costa so fairly empty - ¡dedos cruzados!

RG07Maintainer• in reply toxx20005 years ago

Hope you have a good time on your holiday whether you decide to be active or relaxed

Minniewinny5 stoneMaintainer• in reply toxx20005 years ago

Enjoy your holiday 😊

Wordsworth25 years ago

Hi Mademirir, thanks for hosting. I've done in excess of 17,000 steps a day since July 1st as I'm on a million step challenge over 2 months. I'm also doing Team Body Project video exercises.

This week I'm going to continue my 17,000+ steps and video exercising 6 times this week. May even try a run.

• in reply toWordsworth25 years ago

Wow!! You’re exercising a lot!!! That’s great!! Good luck for next week!! 👍😊🍀💪

RG07Maintainer• in reply toWordsworth25 years ago

Wow I am impressed- lockdown has either helped people get more into fitness since they have either been unfortunately (or not!) been unable to go to work or because there was limited opportunity at the beginning to go out people want to use the time of freedom to good use!

xx20003kg• in reply toWordsworth25 years ago

1 million!!! That amazing good luck 👍🏼👍🏼

Wordsworth25 years ago

I am. I just have to make sure I'm feeding those muscles so I'm not getting rid of muscle mass whilst I'm doing it and at calory deficit. Thanks!

Missdoubleyou5 years ago

Last week was successful. I did an online yoga class, online clubbercise and a long walk with my sister at the weekend.

This week I couldn’t join yoga because of work but I’m still planning clubbercise and walking. I might try to do find some yoga on YouTube.

• in reply toMissdoubleyou5 years ago

You did great!👍😊 Good luck for next week!!🍀

RG07Maintainer• in reply toMissdoubleyou5 years ago

Are the online classes run by your usual teacher or have you been looking to see whats out there?

Missdoubleyou• in reply toRG075 years ago

Yes, the clubbercise is usually in a local hall and now via zoom. The yoga is my cousin, so I can’t normally join her classes because she lives too far away. They are on zoom too.

Minniewinny5 stoneMaintainer• in reply toMissdoubleyou5 years ago

Well done for keeping your routine 😉

IwilldothisthisyearRestart Oct 20245 years ago

Thanks Minniewinny xx

Wordsworth25 years ago

Does anyone have any tips for maintaining muscle mass whilst losing weight and exercising? I know I should eat protein...but how much? What other foods will help? I'm walking over 17,000 steps a day and completing exercise videos 4 x a week and a run now and again. My calorie intake a day is just over 1680.

morelessAdministrator7 stone• in reply toWordsworth25 years ago

Hi Wordsworth2, I'm definitely no expert, so I'm going to tag Hidden and TheAwfulToad You'll find, as with elsewhere that you look, that they will have a slight difference of opinion on the amounts of protein required. Here's something else to look at healthline.com/nutrition/ho...

I would suggest resistance training to prevent muscle wastage and not restricting calories, rather eating the correct foods that your body requires for optimum health. Have a look at this healthunlocked.com/api/redi...

Don't forget that rest is as important as the exercise, so don't overdo it

Wordsworth2• in reply tomoreless5 years ago

Thanks moreless, I'm having a complete day off once a week where I eat the right foods but don't restrict my calories in any way. The videos I am following have resistance in them, so hopefully that's covered. I am also adding 300 calories to my daily allowance on Wednesdays too. Thanks for the links and tags and advice.

Minniewinny5 stoneMaintainer• in reply toWordsworth25 years ago

You are very active.. I hope your enjoying it all as well as enduring it all 😉

Minniewinny5 stoneMaintainer5 years ago

Hi Hidden

Thank you for hosting this week.

I had a good week last week, did 3 walks each day most days..

94,630 steps x .00075=70.9km’s

1470 total minutes.

A milestone reached weight wise, so I am very happy🎉🎉🎉

Pictures at: healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Cheering us all on 🎉🎉🎉

• in reply toMinniewinny5 years ago

You did great!👍😊 Congratulations on your weight!!🎉🎉🍀 Have a nice week!

Minniewinny5 stoneMaintainer• in reply to5 years ago

Thank you, likewise to you 😊

Wordsworth2• in reply toMinniewinny5 years ago

Some fab exercising going on there! Well done!

Wordsworth25 years ago

Morning all. Today I plan to do a 5k run (the steps of this run will be included in my step count for the day), 17,000+ steps and a workout video. I want to try out my new running shoes, so really looking forward to the running more than the video. Hope you all have a great day; keep those endorphins flowing!

• in reply toWordsworth25 years ago

Well done! Good luck for your 5k run! 👍😊🍀
