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.Please see previous post for ideas and inspiration!.
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.
Any and all exercise counts, from housework to marathon running, armchair exercises to wheelchair basketball. Your only limitation will be your imagination.
We love to see photos, so please post as many as you wish.
Please take some time to encourage your fellow FiF'ers, as this is all about giving each other support and inspiration.
My original plan was to post regarding Halloween and autumn spirit but I cant.
As many of you know I live in Spain and this week a horrible natural disaster has brought devastation to the area near the Valencia. More than 200 deaths and many more people missing. Many lifes ruined. Not much we can do since roads are still blocked, but pray and keep them in our minds because they will need help during many weeks.
Sorry this is not a happier post but that's what it is in my mind at the moment.
The pictures show the cars blocking one of the streets but also thousands of people walking to help, carrying water and food by hand. Faith in the human beings helping each other.
Tell me hows being your week, if you have enjoyed Halloween and done a lot of exercise to burn the sweets calories!!
Also remember to encouge also our fellows at FIF!
Enjoy the life, take care and have fun!❤️🩹

Hi xx2000. My heart goes out to those in Spain struggling to live and to help each other. Let’s hope the authorities can actually get their act together and give some proper help rather than leaving it to volunteers.
So my excercise today was a very nice, satifying half hour treadmill run, some rowing which was a bit lame so need to up the tension a bit and a bit of weights. Lovely sunny dogwalk and will be gardening this afternoon, a bit of mowing and maybe some digging.
Have a good active day everyone, whatever you’re up to.
Great job today! In a few session you will find rowing satisfying as soon as you can adjust it. Lets hope that soon the situation in Valencia is more prganise and people getthe aid they need. 🤞
Yes, I row every winter when I can’t swim but started a bit ’low’ on the resistance today - I increase distance and tension every week but will jump ahead a bit on Wednesday.
I am so sorry to see the news about the shocking floods in Spain around the Valencia , those poor people 😢💔
I have managed to get a physiotherapy assessment appointment for this Thursday, it is a bit of a trek but I have decided that I can’t wait until a more local one is available. Strangely , this was the appointment I was offered last week so at least it was still a priority appointment .
Last week according to the Active 10 app I have briskly walked for 270 minutes out of a total 419 minutes walked.
I have managed 20 minutes in total on the elliptical trainer.
This week I hope to briskly walk for 150 brisk minutes & do at least 20 minutes on the elliptical trainer ( after speaking to physio).
Today I visited my Mum & part of the route was retracing my walk to & from secondary school .
Climate change might be an issue but I got the impression ( from the news) that neglect to the infrastructure has a lot to do with why it was so devastating. This seems to be a common thing in many ’natural’ disasters of late. People pay there taxes in good faith but are continually let down by those that are in charge. Makes me angry. I’ll pop my soap-box back in the cupboard now, 🙂
I hope the appt goes well on Thursday and you get given some exercises to do to help. Despite your joint problems you have done very well with your exercise- congratulations
I agree terrible news and I am glad you weren't directly impacted by the flood, but it must be an upsetting for everyone in Spain. It is amazing that you feel able to host this week challenge. I have had a good week though must admit needed last week's goals to motivate myself on Sunday to complete them. I had planned on doing the exercises before the kitchen repair man came but he arrived at 7:45am on the 2 mornings he worked so had to do the 2 sessions of the combined aerobics and strength exercises at the weekend and boy are my legs and glutes feeling it today My goals last week was for 5 days of 10,000 steps of which 1 day would be 15000 steps and 2x aerobics and 2x strength exercises- I actually managed 6 days of 10,000 steps as well as 1x 15000 steps. My stats were 92079 steps (40.8m) and 544 mins of brisk exercise (114mins exercises and 430 mins brisk walking).
This week I am working 2 shifts then back up North staying at my sister's to celebrate my mam's 90th- I am staying for a week. My sister has a dog Archie so I will be walking with them every day. So, no aerobic or strength exercises this week, but I expect to manage 6 days of 10,000 steps of which 2 days will be 15000 steps🤞
Wow , that’s fantastic RG07 🥳. I hope the two shifts go well & have a safe trip up to your Mam’s & sisters l hope your Mam has a fantastic 90th birthday celebration xx
We are taking her to see Allo! Allo! the musical (we assume it's a musical it's by the Berwick operatic Society) Mam doesn't know about this but we are having a family meal on Sunday- her Birthday is on Wednesday, but my brother has children in 6th form and their half term was last week- very inconvenient!
