All welcome to join. If you'd like to join but are shy, have a disability or just need some extra support, feel free to message me.

Looking forward to it 😊

How did it go?

I'm adequately sweaty ☺️

bobz17 profile image
bobz177lbs in reply to MintTeaMascara

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.

MintTeaMascaraHealthy BMI in reply to bobz17

😃 If that's beginners what's intermediate, haha?

bobz17 profile image
bobz177lbs in reply to MintTeaMascara

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

MintTeaMascara profile image
MintTeaMascaraHealthy BMI in reply to bobz17

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

MintTeaMascara profile image
MintTeaMascaraHealthy BMI in reply to bobz17

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

bobz17 profile image
bobz177lbs in reply to MintTeaMascara

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

MintTeaMascara profile image
MintTeaMascaraHealthy BMI in reply to bobz17

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

MintTeaMascara profile image
MintTeaMascaraHealthy BMI in reply to bobz17

I can't do upper body.. I don't want a bigger upper back 🙈 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?

bobz177lbs in reply to MintTeaMascara

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

How did you get the workout vid into your post from YouTube can't seem to find a way of copying the link?

Erm.. 🤔

There's a little share icon over towards the right somewhere. It produces a shortened link to copy and paste

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 BMI in reply to Smithy999

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

bobz17 profile image
bobz177lbs in reply to MintTeaMascara

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

Smithy999 in reply to bobz17

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

MintTeaMascara profile image
MintTeaMascaraHealthy BMI in reply to Smithy999

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

MintTeaMascaraHealthy BMI in reply to PandQs

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

bobz177lbs in reply to Zest

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 “Welcome Newbies” and follow every thread.

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

Here’s the link for the “Tour” 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 :)

This post is a year old and I don't think the workouts are still taking place, but you might be interested in our Fit is Fun Club healthunlocked.com/weight-l...

All of the information you need about the forum can be found in Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/weight-l.... and we hope you'll be joining all the Events, Challenges and Clubs that we run, especially a weigh-in and the daily diary.

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.

Wishing you all the best :)
