Good evening 🙂
Ever have one of those days where you have to actively convince yourself to move, even just a little bit? Well I had one of those today, it was the first one for a while, but I could really have curled up and not moved at all for the whole evening!
I attempted to convince myself to go to the gym…but I couldn’t face all the people!
I wasn’t about to give up though so I devised a workout I could do at home that involved, my mini trampoline, my hula hoop and an axe!
Ok…not all at the same time…that would just be silly!
I started with a warm up on my mini trampoline, which is good and energetic, but without actually being too high impact…my legs were really aching after all the running and dancing!
After this, I engaged in a bit of functional training that I have spoken about before, working out by doing something real…we needed to split some logs, we needed a fire because for some reason it was colder inside our house than it was outside. I chopped logs for about 15 mins, it is extremely energetic and actually made me feel much more awake. Hitting things with an axe is quite satisfying!
After this I went back on the trampoline to get my heart rate up again, followed by some hula hooping, I seem to have improved, I even managed to make a tiny step forward while huling…then I tried another one…and it all went wrong. So from then on I stuck to hulaing while staying in one place 🙂
I finished off with some crunches, some bridges, some leg raises and I did the Pilates hundred for good measure.
I am slightly disappointed with today, but I completed a work out. I will be back on top form tomorrow 🙂
But for now… Day 90 complete 🙂
Don’t feel disappointed. That sounds like a good workout. I have never successfully used a hula hoop, not even as a child. I am envious.

hehehe…that is true…and I don’t want to exercise with chopped off bits…and I would have to…I didn’t put any caveats in the project rules for illness or damage!

You and me both, sista!
My biggest fear is sustaining an injury on day 342 (or similar) that prevents me from finishing. I try to guard against that at all costs!
