I'm stuck in quarantine for 14 days so can't leave the house which meant yesterday was walking on the treadmill and cycling in the stationary bike. Not ideal but at least it was something.
I haven't really exercised at all during my holiday but we are renovating a house in France so spent a lot of time gardening, knocking down wall, chopping trees etc.0 -
Yard work definitely counts as exercise! Where in France? So exciting!0

Right in the centre, in the Loire valley. It's farmland for as far as you can see so not hugely exciting, but lots of beautiful chateaus around - it's near where my wife's family life.1 -
I'm still in quarantine which means exercising is limited to the stationary bike, I did 30 minutes this morning before work.
I'm looking forward to being able to get outside and restart the C25K running programme I was doing.
What are others doing for exercise today?0 -
My doctors told me not to exercise this weekend; all I am allowed to do is walk the dog until Monday. I took her for 15 minutes last night, and even though I felt like hell and did not want to get out of be, I did and took her for half an hour this morning.
Steve25K, I hope the Loire valley is every bit as lovely as it looks and sounds!0 -

I'm about to hit the stationary bike, got 2 more days of quarantine and then I'm going to get out running again.

First day out of quarantine today and I celebrated by going for a run. Back to week 4 day 2 of the Couch 2 5k programme as I haven't run for about a month.
The run was fine, the longest stretch being 5 minutes but I managed it pretty comfortably. So I'm happy to be back on the programme.
Hope you're all finding fun ways to get your exercise in.0 -
This is my first really tangible fitness gain: I can finally do a bridge again! I used to be able to do these in Olympic gymnast form as a kid, no problem. I did them right up into my 30's. Imagine my chagrin when I went to do one for the first time in a long time a few months ago and couldn't. I couldn't get off the floor at all. I couldn't event get so that the top of my head was on the floor. Nothing. But as of today...

That's excellent, congratulations, even upside down it's a big smile. I think I would snap trying that.1

Walked the dog, but only for a half hour today...she seemed to want to come back in early, maybe because of the rain. Thankfully, it has cleared up, and we have a social-distance walk planned with my dad this afternoon, so that should be nice. Planning to squeeze in some arm exercises, as well.0
