Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Evening Pilates used to leave me feeling very relaxed, even if I'd worked quite hard during the session.

Thanks ladies
When I run commute I have a hot bath and food but garmin always reports a poor sleep and I often feel I haven’t rested the next day

Plus I fidget more and get up in that circle of can’t sleep I’ll have a wee!

I used to go to pilates classes that late in the evening, prior to my hip being fixed and before becoming a runner. I don't recall that affecting my sleep, Pix. I don't think I've ever done my weight training sessions that time in an evening but I generally sleep well anyway so I probably wouldn't be that great a comparison.

For me later (weights) training can help me sleep so is useful before early starts when I’m generally more restless.

idle_wilder - those squats are incredible! Over double what I squat at the moment!

I've found this week with evening sessions that I'm obviously not sleeping as well/ waking up more - my watch actually questioned if I had worked out before bed!

Another massive milestone this morning with PT - a single deadlift at 150kg, with more in the tank (before 3 sets of 5 at 120kg). I just need to get out of my own head!

Amazing! There was me thinking my 4 sets of 5 at 63kg earlier was good going :-o

I felt my sleep was affected when I started cleaning relatively heavy and then squatting and/ or deadlifting after. I think it was a CNS thing. At the level you're lifting, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same for you IW.

I started doing wall sits last week as I'm realising I don't really want to go to the gym and lift atm but also don't want to be starting from scratch when I return. Obviously no match for real lifting but seem to be a good balance between keeping some loading going and not too much effort.

And in case you're wondering about that title, well, I like alliteration and one can be too po-faced about the use of girl/lady/woman.
