FIT is FUN Club for the week 6th 12th February

xx20003kg•

Hi !!! Another week of the FiF club.

The weather has been really cold this week so It is an extra effort to exercise outdoors, but dont forget every little exercise is important so you can do many things indoors too. Have a look at healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... for previous ideas.

This 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 to give us all new ideas for exercise.

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 stick to and encouragement and support from fellow members are good motivators.

We Also love to see photos, so please post as many as you wish of when you're out and about, in the gym, at your fitness class....

Please take some time to encourage your fellow FiF'ers, as this is all about giving each other support and inspiration.

I have spent half of the week in Italy on holidays. I have walked a LOT (120 km in 5 days) so i have walked almost 3 marathones 😅. I was really tired -specially my feet - but enjoyed It a lot. But at home i went to 3 dancing classes. So not a bad total 💪🏼💪🏼. I felt very well because i could follow the rythm.

My plans for this week included 3 dancing classes plus one skating class and extra streching classes but i fell down this morning and i am afraid my wrist is hurt... It might be difficult to dance this way .... Will see...

Enjoy the week and have fun exercising! But take care!!!

Thanks for posting. I hope you had a lovely holiday and hope your wrist is okay.

IwilldothisthisyearRestart Oct 20242 years ago

Wow xx2000 what an amazing amount of walking you did on holiday to Italy. I hope that your wrist is ok 😩

My stats are quite poor in comparison.

I walked 70712 steps which is about 29 miles .

I walked up 102 flights of stairs.

According to the Active 10 App I briskly walked for 305 active minutes out of a total 411 minutes walked.

Wine6 stone• in reply toIwilldothisthisyear2 years ago

I love your flight of stairs stats every week... And brilliant on the steps and walking those miles... You are well on the way in the 1000miles challenge... Superb 👏👏👏🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉😎

Forgot to say this exercise was great especially with you being poorly are you on the mend now

IwilldothisthisyearRestart Oct 2024• in reply toWine2 years ago

Thank you 😊

xx20003kg• in reply toIwilldothisthisyear2 years ago

WoW i admire you for allí those flights. My wrist is not Broken 💪🏼💪🏼 just badly bruised but It Will be fine Next week 🤞🏽

IwilldothisthisyearRestart Oct 2024• in reply toxx20002 years ago

I’m so glad that your wrist isn’t broken, please take it easy while it heals xx

gman1961Restart April 2025• in reply toIwilldothisthisyear2 years ago

Henderslh, don't knock it ,you always do well and others would love to have your figures, I would .Have another great week,

Gary

IwilldothisthisyearRestart Oct 2024• in reply togman19612 years ago

I’m sorry to hear this that you are have had a bad time lately - I meant to send you a message xx

RG07HostMaintainer2 years ago

I’m glad you enjoyed your holiday and that is a lot of walking you managed to do! Sorry about the fall and your wrist hopefully it’s just a sprain and nothing more. Probably be best to get it checked out before doing any exercise don’t want to make it worse if you can avoid it!

Well as expected just managed 5 days of 10,000 steps with me visiting my parents. My dad is in hospital has been since Monday. So I was supposed to leave yesterday but staying until tomorrow. No couch to fitness exercise last week or Noom step totals achieved. But I did manage 183 mins brisk walking which is less than usual but more than the 150 mins recommended by NHS brisk exercise. I managed 72494 steps (42.9km) since I tried to go for a walk most days.

This week I think it will be 5 days of 10000 steps again since tomorrow I’ll be in the car a lot driving back home will try and got a walk in before I nip up to the hospital to visit my dad before I leave- though got to ask permission first since no official visiting in the morning. I have Alfie for 1 day and then on nights at the weekend so I will hopefully fit in 2 sessions of Afrobics. No more Noom totals since I’m not renewing the subscription but I will aim to have 3 days of 15000 steps this week🤞

Wine6 stone• in reply toRG072 years ago

I hope you have a lovely drive to see your dad and hope all goes well.. ❤️❤️❤️I love how much walking you have done as I know you were poorly last week so this is fabulous hoping you are feeling much better now

Take care

RG07HostMaintainer• in reply toWine2 years ago

thank you just an irritating cold which has been lingering fortunately

IwilldothisthisyearRestart Oct 2024• in reply toRG072 years ago

I’m sorry to hear that your Dad is still in hospital. Your stats are amazing in this situation.

I think that 5 days of 10000 is pretty impressive but I guess Archie will help with that.

Good luck with the Afrobeats when you are home .

RG07HostMaintainer• in reply toIwilldothisthisyear2 years ago

Archie is my sister’s dog not got him until November it’s my friend’s dog Alfie who’ll I’ll be taking out for a walk on Friday

Wine6 stone• in reply toRG072 years ago

I thought you were talking about your sisters dog too... To be fair the dogs names start with A and end the same... Sorry didn't notice either... It must be great to walk them... Relaxing..

RG07HostMaintainer• in reply toWine2 years ago

it is confusing I sometimes call them by the wrong name myself!

Wine6 stone• in reply toRG072 years ago

😂🤣😭😊I am glad it's not just me. Thank you

RG07HostMaintainer• in reply toWine2 years ago

it’s an age thing I think!

IwilldothisthisyearRestart Oct 2024• in reply toRG072 years ago

one day I will get the doggies names right 😩

RG07HostMaintainer• in reply toIwilldothisthisyear2 years ago

don’t worry - I know them and I get confused!

IwilldothisthisyearRestart Oct 2024• in reply toRG072 years ago

I get the cats names wrong but the seem to answer to anything 🤣

RG07HostMaintainer• in reply toIwilldothisthisyear2 years ago

they don’t tend to respond to their real names anyway if there is something more interesting anyway!

IwilldothisthisyearRestart Oct 2024• in reply toRG072 years ago

Especially chicken or cat treats 🤣🤣

xx20003kg• in reply toIwilldothisthisyear2 years ago

IwilldothisthisyearRestart Oct 2024• in reply toRG072 years ago

I love it when dogs see squirrels, it’s so funny .

RG07HostMaintainer• in reply toIwilldothisthisyear2 years ago

Ooo well done Wine, resistance bands are difficult 💪

Wine6 stone• in reply toTheTabbyCat2 years ago

They certainly are

gman1961Restart April 20252 years ago

Hi xx2000,What a great total of waking you did ,great stats.

Apologies I've not done anything for a while .

Today I have kick started things with a 20 minute rowing session done via You Tube .

I never new you could use the rower using different techniques .

I really enjoyed it and I'm so glad I made the effort .Hoping to mix my excercise up running ,rowing ,kettlebell and maybe some skipping .

I have the equipment so I might as well use it .

Thanks for hosting and take care xx2000.

Gary

Wine6 stone• in reply togman19612 years ago

Fantastic 😊

xx20003kg• in reply togman19612 years ago

Thanks Gary. It sounds interesting ... There are so many things that we ignore, It is fantástic that you are including such a variety of exercises. 👍🏼👍🏼

gman1961Restart April 2025• in reply toxx20002 years ago

I think it might work out well ,just need to do more instead of sitting on the sofa when I get home .Thanks xx2000

Gary

RG07HostMaintainer• in reply togman19612 years ago

it’s hard to exercise after work fortunately because I work 12.5 hrs shifts it means I have days off so tend to exercise then

gman1961Restart April 2025• in reply toRG072 years ago

Whenever suits I say ,Have a lovely week ahead ,

Gary

RG07HostMaintainer• in reply togman19612 years ago

have fun with the skipping- I used to be quite good at it as a child but must admit I tried it a couple of years ago and I didn’t get very far! Doubt I’ll be able to do the cross cross that I used to do unless I want to end up in hospital😀

gman1961Restart April 2025• in reply toRG072 years ago

I overdid it last time ,so it will be a few minutes only .Gary

IwilldothisthisyearRestart Oct 2024• in reply togman19612 years ago

Well done Gary xx

gman1961Restart April 2025• in reply toIwilldothisthisyear2 years ago

Thanks henderslh,Gary

TheTabbyCatAdministrator10 kgSS Supercook• in reply togman19612 years ago

Well done Gary, it sounds like you've got your mojo back 💪

I learned today that it's possible to link a rowing machine to a hi-pad and with "Zwift" enjoy a virtual tour almost anywhere. That sounds like fun, it's a pity that I don't row 🤣

Have a good week

xx20003kg• in reply toTheTabbyCat2 years ago

😂 can use It even if you dont row....unexpensive travel !!

gman1961Restart April 2025• in reply toTheTabbyCat2 years ago

Too complicated for me lol,I have done rowing on Monday then kettlebell workout last night Resting tonight ,

Thanks The Tabby Cat ,

Gary

TheTabbyCatAdministrator10 kgSS Supercook2 years ago

Thanks for hosting xx2000, I'm glad you enjoyed your Italian holiday, it sounds like you were very active, walking miles. I hope your wrist is getting better.

I've just joined the Strength &Flex forum and last week I managed to complete week 1. The funny thing was that I was listening to the coach, concentrating on what I was doing, thinking I was doing quite well then she said that's the last exercise for the warm up! I thought we were doing the workout Never mind, I know now!

Today I was supposed to start week 2 but my shoulders were feeling it a bit, so I decided to repeat week 1.

I hope everyone has a lovely, active week

Wine6 stone• in reply toTheTabbyCat2 years ago

Hope you enjoy doing those exercises... I read somewhere they are really good to build our muscle which then helps our metabolism so you are doing something really good for your body... And I am hoping this all builds up to a fitter you which I can't wait to see... Have a gorgeous night

TheTabbyCatAdministrator10 kgSS Supercook• in reply toWine2 years ago

Thanks Wine 🙏

xx20003kg• in reply toTheTabbyCat2 years ago

😂 maybe the warm Up is more than enough!! You enjoyed It anyway!!

ProgressoverperfectRestart June 20242 years ago

Good morning , I'm not a new member of the forum ( have been active in weigh in and daily diary for over 2 years) when someone mentioned posting in the Fit is Fun group as I am a runner.Bit of a quick back story: March 2020 furloughed from work - gaining weight, not exercising and generally feeling a bit naff.

End of May 2020- very frank and honest conversation with GP led me to look at healthier eating options

June 1st 2020 discovered this forum

I started c25k on my own as part of my new healthier lifestyle, I completed that and ran 5k 2 or 3 times a week, there were weeks when I didn't run at all, I gradually increased my distance until I felt I needed the support of a group.

A colleague is a member of the local running club and invited me to join her on an open night in February 2022 and I can honestly say it has been a game changer!

I now run at least 5 miles 3 times a week, I have completed 4 10k races, booked on my first half marathon in June and have my biggest challenge in October when I'll be running a metric Marathon ( 26.2km =16 miles)

I feel fitter, stronger and may pace is improving, 3 years ago I couldn't run a bath!!

And an added bonus is an increasing collection of fabulous running leggings. I've posted a photo of my latest purchase😊

I'm looking forward to joining in more with the FiF threads.

Exercise for this week is 2 x 5 mile runs ( I'm unable to make club run this week) and some walking.

Fabulous legging to add to the collection

TheTabbyCatAdministrator10 kgSS Supercook• in reply toProgressoverperfect2 years ago

It's lovely to see you here Progressoverperfect I've only been posting here for a couple of weeks. Your fitness history is sooo impressive!

Keep us up to date on the funky leggings! There's a story behind those ,too. From all black to funky flamencos🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

xx20003kg• in reply toProgressoverperfect2 years ago

Looovvveee your leggins!!! You are a great runner!! I finished the c25k a couple of times but didnt go further. I dont like bad weather so i am a "runner" from april to october 😊Here you Will find members with a great variety of exercises and Also some Runners so you are very welcome to share your plans and goals.

Hope to see you here Next week !!

Wine6 stone• in reply toProgressoverperfect2 years ago

I absolutely love those gorgeous leggings... And how brilliant you are for that fabulous running you do and its going to be great hearing about what you have done each week... I can't wait to hear about your metric marathon... This is so great... I love people who run

springersruleModerator76kg2 years ago

Thanks for being a great host this wee xx2000. I hope your wrist is improving each day.
