Looking after ourselves
hello lovely fitness people @Queenie @Meowmy @Gazza75 @greenpea
I haven't had any work shifts yet this week so I've had plenty of time for fitness. Yesterday I did a 5 minute, standing abs workout I found on youtube. It's great because normally I can't do abs workouts (like crunches) as they hurt my back but this one is standing. You might like it Meowmy as it's got super star-jumps & I know you like those. You might like it greenpea as it's good for core. It's only 5 minutes but it is hard work! No rest intervals. 5 minute Standing Flat-Belly Workout
Today I went for a hike in the hills but can't say how far 
It was a good cardio hike anyways. Hope everyone feel motivated to do a little exercise today 
Thx @BryanaCamp I liked 3 of the exercises and will include them ... I cant do any jumps or high impact ...
You should certainly post about nutrition @Gazza75 . We all need motivation there. I graze all evening with my post-dinner cravings... bbq shapes and choccy and so on. But I must admit, having healthy alternatives on hand does help, especially crunchy things - celery/carrot/cucumber sticks with hummus, highly nutritious & better than tim tams 
I did a 21km hike yesterday @Gazza75 @Queenie @greenpea @Meowmy @Ant7 a goal I've had for some time. It's my usual 16km hike with an extra branch off into the rainforest. It was misty and lush with a cackling creek, bird calls and, as you can see, lots of dense vegetation. Magical. 
@Former-Member if you need me to remove the kms I hiked, I have a couple of points for you to consider first before asking me to email you. 1. We've had kms ok'd for ages, then I was moderated & asked to edit them out, then they were re-instated agian which was great. So I've inlcuded them here as I'm proud of them & my friends here are the reason i've been able to achieve them. 2. This is a positive thread about goal attainment, healthy exercise and improving mental health through physical activity - we're doing what is preached at us constantly by mental health professionals: if you exercise consistently your mental health will improve. A lot of the forum is negative & about helplessness & hopelessness so why censor our positivity? 3. I believe the onus is on the individual to avoid a thread about fitness if it may trigger eating disordered behaviour. This thread is clearly titled "fitness" and I'd be more than happy for the title to be altered to include "trigger warning ED", or, to start a new thread with that trigger warning if you wish. For example, I don't like ptsd or csa and the onus is on me to avoid those threads that are clearly labelled as that, it's my responsibility. There is great value & support in this thread for me and others as a motivating, validating & inspiring thread for goal attainment & I don't think we should be penalised for being positive when any risk posed to those with ED can be avoided with a trigger warning. Thank you.
