How did it go?

I'm adequately sweaty ☺️

bobz17 profile image
bobz177lbsβ€’ in reply toMintTeaMascara

Phew, that was harder than I expected. After the first round my left leg was killing so I did alternate side steps instead of just one leg at a time in the second round. I'm used to doing the drops from other vidz now but combined with the knee tap, it was much more difficult. Shower at the ready and suitably exhilarated but tired 😁 I'll be doing a different one on Tuesday just to balance things out.

MintTeaMascara profile image
MintTeaMascaraHealthy BMIβ€’ in reply tobobz17

πŸ˜ƒ If that's beginners what's intermediate, haha?

bobz17 profile image
bobz177lbsβ€’ in reply toMintTeaMascara

I have found that other vidz of theirs are a bit easier on the legs but just as energetic.

MintTeaMascara profile image
MintTeaMascaraHealthy BMIβ€’ in reply tobobz17

There's always marching or taking a break as an option though I guess :)

MintTeaMascara profile image
MintTeaMascaraHealthy BMIβ€’ in reply tobobz17

You happy for us to stick to this same video and see how we progress? Same time next week?

bobz17 profile image
bobz177lbsβ€’ in reply toMintTeaMascara

Yes, definitely. We can do other vidz to balance with upper body workouts and whole body workouts on other days.

MintTeaMascara profile image
MintTeaMascaraHealthy BMIβ€’ in reply tobobz17

Okay if there's anymore you want to do count me in. Just let me know πŸ˜ƒ

MintTeaMascara profile image
MintTeaMascaraHealthy BMIβ€’ in reply tobobz17

I can't do upper body.. I don't want a bigger upper back πŸ™ˆ I've just had a look at the video and don't have any weights either.

Not sure how we can make this work.

We can definitely stick to the Thursdays workout and I'll post like this week... And then maybe give me a shout when your doing another day and I can join you?

Any ideas?

bobz17 profile image
bobz177lbsβ€’ in reply toMintTeaMascara

I won't be using weights to start with as I'll have to take it slowly. I would use a couple of cans of tomatoes when I'm strong enough so don't need weights. I have double mastectomy scars that are quite tight so I can't go too fast. I need to build my strength up as lifting can be difficult. I'll see if I can find something else that you may find more suitable. Perhaps someone else will pick up on this and have alternative suggestions too. X

A great motivation if we aren't doing it alone. Grateful to MintTeaMascara for hosting this. Hope we see you for an after chat next Thursday. I've posted 2 other vidz that I will be doing on Saturday and Tuesday if they are helpful to you. 😊

It's a fab idea and looks a good workout. Unfortunately I can't make the 2pm slot but I'd definitely do it one lunchtime in the week 😊

MintTeaMascara profile image
MintTeaMascaraHealthy BMIβ€’ in reply toSmithy999

bobz17 are you planning to do one at lunchtime at any point? We might be able to make something work

bobz17 profile image
bobz177lbsβ€’ in reply toMintTeaMascara

I can do lunchtime if that suits better Smithy999 What time on Tuesday would be preferable to you both?

My lunch break is 12.30 for an hour each day, so happy to fit it in there somewhere.

Shall we say 12.45pm Tuesday for half an hour?

I was thinking about joining and then reading replies realised that I got the email on Friday morning, 20 hours after it was posted :) by the sounds of it, it would have been too much for me anyway and I'll stick to my brisk walks on a treadmill and stretches. But perhaps for different time zones and those that get email notifications of posts, remind people of this on the Wednesday ready for Thursday?

Cheers

MintTeaMascara profile image
MintTeaMascaraHealthy BMIβ€’ in reply toPandQs

We'll be doing them Tuesdays, Thursday and Saturdays now if you'd like to join in. I'd encourage you to if you'd prefer the group setting and there's always the option to pause or march through any of the exercises if it becomes too much.

I'll be posting over the next day or 2 with an update x

Hi MintTeaMascara

Just to say that I couldn't make the time you mentioned yesterday, but I did the work-out at about 4pm yesterday, and it was enjoyable, and I benefited from knowing that you and bobz17 had done it earlier - it somehow felt like I was doing something with a feeling of camaraderie (might not be the right word, but I hope you know what I mean).

Anyway, just wanted to say that I enjoyed it! I'll probably just look out for work-outs that you're doing, and do them whenever I can - as and when, but I like your initiative here - great idea! :-)

Zest :-)

Glad you enjoyed it, it is pretty fun :)

Yeah I understand what you mean, it definitely feels good.

Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed it. It'd be lovely to have you join us live for one if you're able x

bobz17 profile image
bobz177lbsβ€’ in reply toZest

Hi. Yes I understand what you mean plus it gave me motivation to do it knowing that someone else was too. I can't see there being a problem with you doing it at a more convenient time for you. We will pick up on your feedback when you post, it just won't be part of the chat immediately after the workout, you'll still be included with our responses. Take care.

Hi chb555 and welcome to this amazing forum.It's lovely to see that you are already joining in.

I suggest you spend some time clicking about to find your way around. It's easier if you have a lap-top as there are several threads. If you’re using another device I strongly suggest that you use the web page as opposed to the app at least until you know your way around.

Have a good read of the pinned post β€œWelcome Newbies” and follow every thread.

Here’s the link to the pinned posts, healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Here’s the link for the β€œTour” of the forum. If you haven’t already taken it.

healthunlocked.com/?tour=true

I strongly suggest you read and contribute to the Daily Diary and participate in a Weekly Weigh in.

You will find there's loads of tips about better eating, from other members. Sharing your daily menu not only helps you stay committed, it can help other members too.

Good luck I hope to "see " you around.

In my opinion, the best 30 minutes of training is 30 minutes of jogging. I used to run in the park, but now because of this whole pandemic situation, it's become a little unsafe. I decided to order a treadmill for myself, which I chose with treadmillreviewsite.co.uk/ . For the past six months, I've been spending 30 minutes running on a treadmill every morning before breakfast. And I feel great and look great. In addition, it is quite simple and does not require any special knowledge or skills. In my opinion, running is like a form of meditation.

Hi and welcome, balfoursem :)

If you haven't already taken it, here's a tour of the forum healthunlocked.com/?tour=true

We've found active participation to be key to successful weight loss and, of course, it's a good way to get to know people, find inspiration and share support and encouragement.
