how do you structure your day to fit two sessions in

 

[tipperary]

Quotes didn't work properly, I was asking how donyou fit two sessions into a work day....I would need to rest and shower

 

[Chubby Ghost]

Generally a session first thing most days then a shower.
Then a later one and another quick shower.
But on occasion I can do a session then repeat a couple of hours later then a shower.
I work it around the days I'm working and the other things etc.

Every single session is 35 Minutes and an average of 21-22 km.
Therefore most days it's 70 Minutes and combined 43-44km.
I aim for six days a week but it's not always possible.

 

[tipperary]

Sorry, wasn't suggesting you didn't shower...what I meant was I found it hard to fit exercise in around work...two sessions would have been hard.

 

[Chubby Ghost]

No offence taken regarding showers.
It's easier as I have the exercise bike at home to fit sessions in.
I don't need to travel to gym's etc

[unconcerned]

Challenge: 10000steps and ten minutes brisk every day.

I have kept this up so far and used it as a minimum. There have been times where I had to force myself to make sure I completed it when I was late home from work etc.

It has become an exercise in self control.

 

[Chubby Ghost]

It certainly takes some discipline and determination.
But like everyone else involved in each individual challenge every little milestone achieved makes it easier.

That's the whole point of the challenge...motivating yourself

 

[unconcerned]

The weather forecast for next week is not helpful, so if someone could just sort that out, I would be jolly grateful.

 

[Mini]

Can I join?

I would like to give this challenge a go as I am feeling optimistic.

I am completely unfit and out of puff. I have started walking and hoping to do 30 minutes every day...If I can achieve this for January I will be very pleased with myself.

Sunday 14th January

So far I have missed going out for a walk four days out of fourteen!

 

[tipperary]

That's a good start mini
I didn't go out yesterday but have walked every other day this week.
