FabSwingers.com forum: How is your exercising going?

It is very important to get moving during this lockdown period and as well to keep track of the calories.

Mine is going fine and I am very active. I am training at home 3 times a week with weights. I either cycle or go for a walk 1hr or more aday, when I cycle I aim for 15km and I also do ashtanga yoga

Mines going well, I run 5-6 times a week varying from 5-15km coupled with hiit workouts and s&c work then on rest day a 16km gentle cycle ride on road or turbo

Much harder at home but we are both managing 3 sessions a week with a variety of weights plus support from our PT’s.

Looks like a long wait to get back to the gym

I had just started back at the gym before lockdown and not done much of anything since. I walk about 20,000 steps a day now I'm back at work but that's about it

I'm exercising more (9-10k steps a day, doing C25K and 6-10 mile bike rides) but am still gaining weight, which is rather frustrating!

Not eating any more either, and if anything eating a lot healthier than I was.

Ah well. I feel fitter, that's more important!

I think it's very important that people look after their mental health and wellbeing. If that includes calorie counting? Fair enough. If it doesn't? Well you do you.

As far as exercise is going, I'm trying to do 5k every other day. I do yoga because it helps me remain relatively calm and sometimes the Joe Wicks exercise class because it makes so_eone laugh a lot.

Mine is going OK. I've brought a set of those resistance bands and using them every other day, whilst using my ab roller and weighted bag. I also fit in a 6 mile run twice a week and still trying to eat healthy....

Mine isn't too bad. We bought an exercise bike in January which has paid off massively.

Other half has some weights but enjoys using the resistance bands more - just a shame the ones we ordered him won't be here for another week still

Try to cycle and run every day. After my runs, I will do kettlebell weights at home.

Having a bit of a rest day today...will go for either a run or cycle later. Have 2 kids at home so cant feck off for hours either. They will be spending time with their dad after lockdown so I will have more time to exercise then or wont feel guilty for doing it. Cant wait.

Mines going great and I’ve been mainly working on my arms to be honest.

I use my left arm to cut the food and my right arm to shovel the food into my mouth.

Then I sit by the pool on sunny days snacking and drinking.

Then I spend a lot of time sleeping.

Morning Shag. Mine took a real nosedive at the beginning of this lockdown, felt all so surreal and everything I have done seemed purposeless. Did my daily walks with our dog, but that was it. The last few days I got back into my weight training at home and my mood changed, more positive, I’m happier and more energetic during the day. Glad I got my bum off the sofa. Xxx

Definitely doing a lot more outside right now, also finding lots of new and interesting ways to hit the right spots without the need for a traditional gym.

I hope everyone is keeping as healthy as they can with what they have available. If you need help or advice if your plans have gone down the toilet just hola. I'll help where I can.

Had been going for a walk a couple of hours a day but it's been absolutely crippling my back, been on naproxen again as well as other tablets for the last fortnight which hasn't helped much, but the last couple of days I've been using my treadmill for an hour and a half and that's help me hell of a lot guessing it's taking the weight off my back

I guess the treadmill is the future , sad really as I live in a wonderful country town

Think maybe getting up earlier and going for a walk before work will help.

I have finally started over the last few days using the garden as an outdoor gym. So three one hour sessions in and I’m making steady progress. However, my fitness has deteriorated, despite having done a fair bit of vigorous gardening, including using bags of horse shit as weights and other various heavy garden things I was moving about in a similar way. I’ve also been going on a decent length walk most days. So now I’m building up running by jogging up and down the garden, it’s less impact on my knees and I won’t feel such a dick when I’m out of breath by the time I get to the corner shop. I’m all using kettle bells, dumbbells and medicine balls as free weights and doing some body weight exercises.

It's going okay. Still working and oddly was more energised earlier in lockdown when I was drowning in work, as things have calmed down I had a bit of a slump but seem to be normal. Running anything from 5km to 20km, some bike rides (commute so 6m in and longer home) and a leisurely but long walk (3-4 hours) most Sundays.

Diet is generally better than normal but the bakers next to work has reopened so that could change!
