Started this morning with not wanting to get out of bed. After scrolling through this app hearing about people’s achievements I’m ready to face the day! Going to set up my own circuits course. Wish me luck... :)

(to be frank, I'm not even sure what a 'circuit' is, I'm that uneducated. Perhaps I'll learn later). 😁

It’s a mix of different exercises and each station is timed and then you move on to the next! It’s a good exercise for those who get bored easily :)

Today, I had 4 stations and did them for 5 minutes each. Running, skipping, doing squats with a 2kg dumbbell, and step machine :) I feel so much better even if it was a short workout!

I don't know about circuit training, my husband and I are more sedate. We bought a set of boules as we used to do short mat bowling. It is not the same but it is a start. Fetching the balls back is exercise, better than just sitting all the time. I am over 70 he is a bit younger, We both have health issues, but we are trying to stay fit not fat,

That’s a great start! Have you thought about lifting weights? It’s not as scary as it sounds. I mean 0.5kg weights or even tins of beans! Just doing this of an evening whilst watching tv will keep your blood pumping and keep you healthy!

As long as I do not get miscles or bigger boobs, my ex. usd to lift big weights. I never thought of sitting and lifting weights but I will have a go.

I felt the same when I started lifting weights etc. Thankfully I just started losing pounds instead of gaining muscle :)

Hi and welcome, Pheksi :)

I'm just wondering if you're here to lose weight, or to offer support to those that are? You're welcome either way, but it will make a difference to the information that I offer you and the badge that you wear :)

Not what you're looking for?
