This one applies to me too! I didn't go to class last night because "I was still on holiday" which was a pretty poor excuse rather than "I'm being lazy and don't feel like it". Starting fresh today!

I did get a couple of runs in last week with Fells and spent an hour with my Wii doing Just Dance on another day. I'm also doing my trainer homework, which is a lot lighter than Laura's is. I just have to do three sets of planks to pushups every other day, in increasing amounts.

I have to work today, but it's a short day, so I'm planning a run late this afternoon with Fells.

I literally LOL'd at today's thread starter. Fortunately I've already been at the gym.

It's a recovery (easy) week this week to make up for Jason trying to kill me last week. Wednesday Jason had me do a pyramid plank - front plank for 20 seconds, shift to side plank for 20 seconds, roll to the other side for 20 seconds, front/side/side for 30 seconds, front/side/side for 60 seconds, then 30, then 20. Takes 8 minutes total, and you don't ever rest. Jason didn't start counting the time until I was actually in position (so if moving from right side to left side plank took 1-2 seconds those 2 seconds didn't count toward the plank) so it ended up being more than 8 minutes of continuous plank by the time I was done. At some point he told me on side plank I could put my top arm on the floor to support myself instead of having it up in the air, but I didn't need to. I did ask him if he had ever done it (he hasn't) and when I told him it was difficult, he didn't seem overly impressed. This morning I told him my shoulders were still sore from Wednesday and when he asked why I told him I assumed it was the long plank. He got kind of a sheepish look on his face. There's a married couple that works out with him every Wednesday (they used to be right before me before I switched to Fridays) who are long-time clients of his and they're both triathletes & in killer shape -- he had them do it on Wednesday night, and he said they both struggled with it. The guy was sweating and shaking. Jason: "You weren't even shaking when you did it." I asked if after watching this couple do it he now appreciated how hard it was, and he said he did. So there was my baby moment of vindication.

I did 5 minutes on the AMT (elliptical), had a 35 minute session with Jason, did another 23 minutes on the AMT (had been thinking I was on there for 7 minutes to start out with so I was trying to make it an even 30 - but when I looked at my Fitbit later I realized I had only been on a little over 5), and then stretched.
