Thanks for sharing this, Matt. People are astonishing.
Aren't they just! Some incredible people out there in the world.

If anyone is interested in a good workout requiring no equipment, have a look at this:

The 4 week pre-entry one is great. Excellent mix of cardio and callisthenics.

@chris-osborne Carpets are expensive
As you say now better weather means nicer walks outside, although it has snowed here in the last few days!!Fingers crossed you can get your swimming back, something I will be looking to do semi regular once things open up again. Yea really looking forward to the gym opening, already booked four sessions on the app next week
-
@matt-wood Hi Matt its going ok slightly behind schedule which was always going to be the case during the first couple of months of the year but will catch up now the nights are getting lighter and the weather gets warmer. Walking inside is boring, must of worn out the hall carpet!!
I see no reason why the Gyms won't be reopening next week that was there plan but as it was only signed off this week hopefully will get confirmation in the next couple of days. Bet your counting down the minutes?

So glad the gyms have stayed open here, (feel bad for those of you in tier 4). Probably would have gone full Michael Douglas a la Falling Down in Ross on Wye had they shut my gym again
Not jealous much lol can’t see them reopening here for a while to be honest. As I can’t go swimming anymore and need to do something, signed up for this
Morning Chris, how is the walking challenge going? Will the swimming pools near you be opening as the country opens up again?

I've been doing 15m bleep test up and down my driveway and running around the block, to keep me going. But recently decided to order a NordicTrack connected exercise bike for the home.... It's absolutely brilliant. Loads of iFit programmes and interactive content, I've been cycling around French Polynesia for the last 5 days apparently!
Bleep tests suck super ass! Sounds like a great bike though
Gyms open again soon for people too. -

@dan-mackinnon Sounds good. Once the plague has died down and its safe I would do like you say and give each class a try. Im sure you will do this, but pay attention to the environment and the other students as much as the instructor, should give you a clue as to the overall club attitude.
Well done with the fast
Im doing a slight mini one and am 24hrs in, will stop around 5pm tomorrow. -
At the weekend I went for a walk and spotted a 3 places which teach BJJ about 40 minutes walk from me. I've just checked online and one seems more of a fitness gym (there is no information about the instructors) but the other 2 seems reasonable. They both do free introduction classes so might give it a try later in the year. One seems to have 1 instructor who is a black belt, whereas the other has 12 instructors all 3rd - 8th Dan.
As for the fast, I'm 52 hours in and finally got over the hump. I really struggled to sleep last night and was very tempted to stop at lunch time but I've pushed on.

@stuart-capstick Agreed 100%. I think I mentioned her somewhere, followed her career for a while, one of my fav fighters. She put on an absolute masterclass in movement in the Ronda Rousey fight, probably the best Ive ever seen.
-
Holly Holm- fantastic striker and moves wonderfully. Apologies if you've already mentioned her.
-
@dan-mackinnon Check out this excellent fight. Some top level striking on display here also a hell of a lot of guts.
-
Agreed, his fight IQ is off the scale. I remember watching his comeback against TJ after such a long injury lay off that was an incredible performance. It is a shame, I agree, I think that artificially elevated Garbandt and I would class that as an upset.
-
He is a very intelligent man. I think what he has achieved is astonishing given the injury record he has and the fact that Team Alpha Fail has done nothing for 5 years except plotting ways to beat him. Shame he lost to Garbandt, who in many way is the anti-Cruz: thick and leaden.
-
@stuart-capstick Thanks, made a nice little bit of green there. Couldnt see Izzy, as good as he is, carrying that sort of weight difference.
Shame I didnt get the KO too though. Cruz winning was a shock if I'm honest, really thought this would be the end for him. Glad he did though love watching and listening to him.
-
Good call on the Blachovicz victory.
