Redemption is nigh

3 days to go then kick start the New Year with Sharkathon 

The only rule is 30 mins of any type of exercise for every day of January.

Feel free to incorporate other aims for the month - going dry, weight loss..

[Duma]

Going to attempt to improve last year's dismal effort this time round. A kg or two over normal atm but hopefully thats just temporary and will have reverted to the mean in the next few days.

[Fiend]

I'm going to aim to do this, including stretching / mobility most days (much needed, including for back / hip niggles).

[monkoffunk]

I did it in 2019 but missed it last year for some reason.

I’m in, won’t manage 30 mins on long work days, but counting yoga I think I might be able to do it.

Sorting diet and dry January is my secondary aim, time to loose a few kg!

[gollum]

I’m in and linking it with dry January as well

[shark]

Dry Jan for me too - managed it last year.

Weighed in at 162.4lbs this morning and aiming to lose about 5lbs like last year.

[lagerstarfish]

211 lb

90 mins walk with family

[Duma]

5k walk in the woods
40min fb session

[shark]

All day hangover. Overly optimistic quest to Rivelin for dry rock. One hour+ walk with the dogs.

[Simon W]

Keen for this.

I’ve been a kg either side of 66kgs for the last 20 years and weighed in at 73.4kgs this morning. It’s been a steady increase throughout 2020 after changing to a job where i’m sat down for most of the day. Going to combine the cardio with a general cutting the crap from my diet. Hoping this will set me up for getting back to 66kgs again later in the year.

Today
6km walk
45 mins yoga

[AJM]

Yeah, I'm in. I'm keen to try to use this as a way to keep a good training load on during lockdown with the hope of coming out of it marginally stronger. Aim is to spend a bit of time doing something different and focus on shoulders/back and push strength with fingers and fitness being maintenance for a month or so.

Secondary goal is to get some more batteries for my scales and try to combine more exercise with a slightly better diet to glide back towards a better weight than I'm guessing I currently have!

Thursday 31/12 - 4 mile round trip walking/jogging with my son on his new bike. In the evening, some pushups and other things on paralettes
Friday 1/1 - decent session of pushing and a little pulling on paralettes and pullup bar, plus a mile or so more walking to accompany the tiny cyclist.

Good walk over Salisbury Crags and Arthur's Seat today. Lovely weather, pretty icy in some sections. 

[bolehillbilly]

Going to aim to stay faithful to at least 30 mins a day through the month.
7km run this afternoon then a twilight exploring hour in local woods. Suprisingly found some dry rock, did an old 6C and a nice new trav link into it and then 15 mins of groundwork for a new problem I'd spotted back in summer.
Good start and the dry rock bonus means this years climbing time to prepping time ratio is currently  significantly better than in 2020. 

[Plattsy]

I'm in.
Dry and veggie Jan.
Weighed 88.4kg on Monday

1/1 an hour's walk round Burbage looking at wet rock.

[nik at work]

Just over 3 miles (slow and steady) running around Millstone/Surprise view area in the dark this eve.

[Duma]

No 400 nik?

[nik at work]

 

No pullup bar otherwise I’d be all over it...

I think this year will be predominantly bike and run based. A sentence I never thought I’d write...

[lagerstarfish]

90 mins easy plodding around the Mini Works in the morning.
Entertained the neighbors with my Harold Lloyd style de-rigging the Christmas lights.
Edit - also chopped wood for a bit. Amused myself at the expense of a helpful neighbor - they wanted to let me know about an article they had read in the guardian about the link between wood burning and local air pollution - I told them I was trying to develop asthma so that I don't have to wear a mask in Aldi - good core control trying not to laugh while they were still there

Sat 2nd
Cold early morning landscape photo mission on Middleton Moor. Half asleep pulled out some thermal longs from the bottom a drawer, thought the label said size 10 and managed to get them on.  I started squeaking  once walking and then wondered if it was actually age 10. Relief came when they split 15 mins in.
Some nice light then clouded over, great views over to a snowy Kinder to the north and all the way to Cademen woods to the south. Good 90 mins of walking.

Early afternoon 90 min walk around Beeley and Rabbit Warren, including bit of an imaginary boulder hunt in the Beeley Woods, found some rock  but nothing worthwhile even by my low standards.

Was going to head out for a twilight boulder but the snow that was forecast and then unforecast turned up as forecast.

Enjoyed both walks but disappointed to not touch rock, best conditions of the year today.

[nik at work]

Just shy of 5 miles up round and down Higgar, Over Owler, Mother Cap, Millstone. Treacherous underfoot but only one fall.

[Plattsy]

2/1 Mag lime bouldering session. Feel wiped out so must hard tried pretty hard.

[Duma]

3 hrs indoor bouldering
5 miles on my newly completed pub bike (sadly not to the pub cos they're all shut)

[Yossarian]

103.0kg yesterday morning

1/1 90 mins beach walk with kids
2/1 6km run / finger benchmarking (new 5sec BM slot PB 93.5kg) yay!

[Simon W]

Walked my usual 5km local jogging route in the morning, then another 3km walking with family round Ramsley Moor later.

30mins yoga once kids in bed.

[Plattsy]

3/1 Quick HIIT work out followed by upper body stuff. About a hour all in.
