Benjamin_Nevis Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) If you're a member of a gym which usually provides Les Mills workouts, eg RPM, Body Combat etc you should be able to access them online for free.

Aufc Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Ive got some dumbbells in the house which are not that heavy but will keep me ticking over. Me and my mate are also pushing each other and doing a press up challenge. So far 120 a day each.Got a pull up/dip bar coming plus a plate for weighted ones and some resistance bands. Was meant to be moving house on Thursday so have ordered to the new house so will need to try collect then at some point and bring to current house 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set myself a target of mastering the wide arm pull up (still stuck on sets of 3) during this plus increase press ups etc. The Mrs has some 3kg and 5kg dumbbells but not sure how much use they'll be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I'd bought a pull up bar when they had them in Lidl a few weeks ago. Hindsight and all that. That's not a bad shout, could even do reps 'to failure' on stuff like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Anyone else trying to do the Arnie bodyweight workout? I've been through it twice now and it's a good workout. You feel the 50 dips. I can't do the pull ups though. I even tried using my loft hatch but it was a bust. Alternating days with a serious run. I've done 3 10kms this week that felt good so I'll get my GPS watch charged up over the weekend and see where I actually am. I haven't ran seriously for about 2 years so I'm quite excited to get properly back into it. Edited March 26, 2020 by Detournement 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s good, but I’m trying to mix things up as much as possible so haven’t repeated it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I can usually do 30 to 40 minutes on a treadmill no bother. I managed 20 minutes pounding the pavements this morning and my legs are in bits and my chest was killing me (I'm hoping it was the cold, crisp fresh air causing that). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Had a decent 45ish minute job earlier, sun is out and it's quiet as I've ever seen.I couldn't do runs like this on a treadmill anymore without some serious distraction like YouTube videos or watching sport or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Did a 10k run last night, following Par Jr on her bike. Good long run with the dog this morning and a few rounds on punchbag, 100 press ups the 10 mins with heavy skipping rope. Found a kettlebell and resistance bands earlier too so going to check YouTube for some videos on what to do with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
