I've not been great about checking in here - pre lockdown my exercise regime was pretty good even though I was battling osteoarthritis in my knees. I had a lovely PT and trained 3-4 times a week with him and got a fair bit of exercise otherwise.
Lockdown in March 2020 and the joys of 2 years of COVID brought an end to all that. My PT moved (and since 2022 focuses on his other employed in a swanky health club not the local gym *sadface*) and I spent most of lockdown sitting on my couch when not pootling around on my allotment.
My waistline has expanded, my cardio fitness sucks though I have managed to retain a decent amount of strength. So I need to get back to basics - lots of stretching to help with a couple of years of inactivity and the arthritis, some yoga and pilates based classes/routines (my balance is shot too) and get to grips with cardio.
My daytime job as a manager of allotment sites means I spend a lot of late spring/summer/autumn outdoors trotting round sites talking to people and doing inspections. It's brutally obvious when the 80 and 90 year old site reps are sprinting ahead of me that I need to do something to get my fitness back. *G*
Starting Friday I am back in the gym and I aim to check in here regularly even if all I'm posting is did a workout today!
