Re: The Exercise Thread
Did 20 minutes on my rowing machine today, it's the first time I've made any effort to do some exercise since last summer. Feels good, hope I can keep it up.

Re: The Exercise Thread
My brain knows I really need to exercise but my body just can't face it. So another year of doing nothing and probable weight gain, I expect.

Re: The Exercise Thread
[QUOTE=Nanuq;2471654]^^ That's good, Whitevanman, do you have a rowing machine at home?
I do have one at home yes, bought it off eBay. I prefer exercising at home to going to a gym. Had a shock today, I went to the doctor's as I've been having a lot of headaches recently and my blood pressure was high. Got to go back on a few days for another test to see whether I need medication. I need to get back into regular exercise. |

Re: The Exercise Thread
I've been exercising a lot during lockdown and I can feel such a difference in my strength and fitness but diet is impossible to get a hold of when there's literally nothing to do but ****ing eat so I look basically no different.

Re: The Exercise Thread
I couldn't do a single rep of an up and down plank last week without collapsing. Now I can do three before collapsing. I know I'm still weak AF but it's progress.
It's such an addictive feeling being able to do things I couldn't do before. |

Re: The Exercise Thread
I've been doing a mix of press-ups, planks and crunches the past few weeks fairly obsessively and am seeing some fairly decent changes already. They're definitely helping my mood and making me feel a little more confident about myself. I'm just hoping I don't lose interest as has happened more than a few times* in the past. Thank you to Jam for finally getting through to me about doing some.
I seem to be hitting around 300 press-ups on an on day now and have grown triceps where none existed previously. It's great. */many, many. |

Re: The Exercise Thread
300 is really impressive. How many are you doing per set?
Gained about 5kg since lockdown, not enough exercise. |

Re: The Exercise Thread
I did my first pull up yesterday, I know one solitary pull up sounds quite pathetic but I've never been able to do any before so I'm going to be riding the wave of being quite proud of that for the next few days.

Re: The Exercise Thread
^^ Sounds impressive to me. I've never tried one - don't expect I'd fare especially well.

Re: The Exercise Thread
Between 25-50 km on my exercise bike per day. Each session set as 25 km.
With most days two sessions of around 40 + minutes each. It's not a Peloton have better things to spend £2,000 + on. I've managed to drop five stone in a two year period now it's just maintainance. 22,000 Miles (36,000 km) in the period since I began logging it in July 2017. 142 hrs and 5,100 km this year to this point. It's just tough at this time of year with how warm it is to do things. I've gained maybe 3-4 lbs with being off work in the period due to lock down. Jobs quite physical so was always burning some excess calories. Back to work Monday |

Re: The Exercise Thread
I'm on week 6 of the couch to 5k. I did skip one run of going 20 mins with no intervals which i intend to go for at the end of this week, just wanted a little more prep. I'm already running* 18 minutes but thats with walking intervals. Still a bit shocked i got this far.
*Very light jogging. |
