FIT IS FUN CLUB for w/b 26th February 3rd March (for exercise achieved 19th - 25th)

Welcome to another week to the Fit is Fun Club!!This thread will be open from Monday 26th to Sunday 3rd March - 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 love to see photos, so please share the ones that are related to your exercise - or not 😉-

Spring it`s almost here!! so it has been a difficult week for people with allergies (as me). I have been using an app to workout at home, it is nice because it has a great variety of exercises- I have enrolled a program of pilates and another one of low impact exercise. Plus, last week I went to 2 dance classes: one bachata and one salsa. Lots of movement and fun, I really recommend dancing for exercise!

I have realised that the most difficult thing to achieve is consistency (it applies both to exercise and healthy eating) so it is really important to find something that you enjoy doing.

My plans for next week are very much the same, I have an appointment with the doctor to see if I can better control my allergy and can exercise also outside but meanwhile I will stick to my home exercises and my dance classes.

What about you? Don’t forget that this is an all inclusive club, so all types of activity and all abilities are welcomed and the aim is for each of us to highlight our preferred activities to give us all new ideas for exercise.

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

(Picture taken 2 weeks ago but a sunset is always worth seeing!)

Good morning oh host xx2000 .I hope you and all others are well this week and keeping fit. Had a really busy week. Gardening in between the showers,soooo wet underfoot but managed to plant lots of plants . Mostly grown from seed or cuttings last year.

The monsters in the picture F/B,Kiki,Jack and Sally (the boss)have had wet walkies as well,except for two days of frosty mornings which they loved. Their walks and other walking have totalled 24.5hours this week. Roll on warmer weather and l can up the total hopefully

Managed two hours on the spin bike. On and off bikes will be ready this week so after a four year break l will be back riding,yipeeeeeeee.

Have a great week one and all,not long until the clocks go forward,longer daylight,cannot wait.😀😀😀😀😀😀

Hi RGO7 ,they do have their cute moments. Broke two vertebrae in my neck which healed fairly quick, took me year to get back on a bike but that didn't last long. Main problem still, is my shoulder which took most of the impact. It is still very painfull and has limited movement but okay to hold onto the handlebars. Managed three miles the other day on my off road bike but my hand was so cold had to stop. Even gloves never helped. See how l get on over the weekend when l get the road bike back

It has been so wet here lately it has put a dampener on my walking.

I have walked 71540 steps which is approximately 30 miles . I have only managed to walk up 101 flights of stays as I was so tired due to lake sleep due to my tinnitus.

According to the Active 10 app I have briskly walked for 209 minutes out of a total 354 minutes walked .

I did manage 5 minutes on the elliptical trainer .

Thanks for hosting xx2000

Thanks for the reminder about dancing- I have been meaning to take it up again.I shall look around for some classes .You are an inspiration with all you are doing.

Well - I am new to this forum as I tend to just do the weigh in but as my routine of exercise has gone since christmas I thought a bit of support on this forum my get me back on track again.

I have picked up my swimming again and the Tuesday shallow pool for ladies is my go to spot.

Trying to build back a bit of strength again.

I have not played tennis since the summer and our courts are closed while it all gets re-surfaced so that is not happening yet- and frankly the energy for it is not there.

My target is to build up a workable routine of regular exercise so if I can add a bit of pilates and yoga and strength exercises from some on line videos this week I shall feel like I am making some progress in establishing healthy routines.

Hi Houndsleap

I too have posted here for the first time,well in the last four years. It takes time to get back into exercise,we get used to not doing it and then the fatigue sets in from just taking it easy. Have had two sessions of spin bike since accident four years ago. Now bikes are nearly ready l will ride again.

The saying goes like this,apparently......... We don't grow old and stop exercising ...we grow old because we stop exercising.

See you here next Monday and we can both report on how much exercise we hav done during the week🚴‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏊‍♂️🏊‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀

Hello welcome to the forum and I wish you well with getting back on track exercise wise. I find that posting here what your goals are exercise wise for the week ahead. I find it motivates me to do the planned exercise when I am not feeling particularly motivated:) Though sometimes life gets in the way which makes it difficult to fit in what I have planned for the day.

Sounds like you have had a very good week- I have a popcorn maker (Holland & Barratt- sells popcorn just in case you have problems getting some). I toss the popcorn in pepper but don't add melted butter or salt. I'm doing the Strength exercises on YouTube but the sessions are a but mixed up- the link initially was for 45mins and today's session was just 10 mins beginners- not worked out how to find the beginning of the series, so totally understand how you ended up doing Day 7 before you should have:)

Does anyone else use virtual videos for running on the treadmill -I was running in Guada Lahara this morning, The sky was gloriously blue and there are no cars in the city centre early in the morning so the runners get to run up the middle of the highway. I find it better than staring at the timer ticking away my minutes.x

Hi hope you managed to get to the gym. I used to go to several gyms over the years but found that after the initial enthusiasm I kept going less and less- I especially found it challenging to get to the gym in the winter with the dark evenings. It also didn't help that I worked shifts so didn't have a set day for the gym and after finishing work I was too tired to go to the gym and since I started at 7am so was up at 5:15am I was definitely not going before work:) Also by the time I got re-motivated to go (usually 6 months with the lighter nights) I found the gym closed:( Since this happened to all 3 gyms I went to I decided I wasn't meant to go to a gym and it would be unfair to the staff and users if I went to a gym which will undoubtedly go bust within 2 years🤪

Frenchfields profile image
Frenchfields2024 January in reply toRG07

According to a question on Richard Osmans house of games recently, something like 83 percent of gym memberships go unused after the first few weeks. Thats a lot. I used to go after work and it used to clear my groggy head but I don’t go out to work now. I guess its something you love or loathe -I like the reliability and saftey -used to road run and took it up again during first wave of covid but I am too fearful of getting knocked down by a crazy motorist. Hope you don’t join my gym, and jinx it x

I have been doing my balance exercises using my standing frame. On Monday 26th my new step arrived so I have taken a photo of my upgraded home gym for you all to share. I can currently only walk around indoors as I have a bunch of health issues that affect my balance and mobility, but I do what I can. I ask Alexa to play my favourite music and move to that.

I also discovered a guy on YouTube who demonstrates exercises using a standing frame

Afternoon xx2000 and thank you for hosting- I love the photo though it is making me a bit jealous since its been very wet here:( I have had a good week last week- I did 2 sessions of Couch to Fitness post natal programme (I'm not or ever been pregnant but I thought I'd work my way through the various programmes) and 1 strength session on YouTube. My step goals was to achieve 6 days of 10,000 steps but only managed 5, however they were all over 15,000 steps (my goal was 3 days of 15,000 steps). I managed 86909 steps (42.7m) and 374 mins of brisk walking and 92 mins of exercise sessions.

This week I am only doing 1 shift because I am going to my mother's for a week tomorrow. I am also training for a charity half marathon- Mighty Hikes for MacMillan in September. I'll have to see if I can plan a 3m route this week and 4m routes for next week, at my mother's🤞. So I plan to manage 6 days of 10,000 steps at least and I hope 3 of those days I will achieve 15,000 steps. I have completed 2 sessions of Couch to Fitness post-natal programme (Low Impact and Pilates) and a 10 mins Stretch programme on YouTube (I had panned on doing 30 mins but couldn't find it!)
