I managed body pump last night, with foam roller and stretches first, and after some bridges and eccentric heel drops. Hoping it all helps keep me running! G

Core work every other day or so, circuits 2 or 3 times a week. I've even done my first proper weights session this year on Thursday. So how is it going for you?

I've tried to sort of do Les Mills Body pump in my front room but I don't have weights! Got a survey from my gym, Bannatyne's, today re. opinions on re-opening and what measures we would support. I said Yes to everything. Basically open as soon as you are allowed but implement every distancing and safety measure you can. FIngers crossed. G
