#doxyspawn #doxylifts i actually got up and did my antenatal exercises, plz clap. i haven’t done any strength training since the end of March.

getting up in the morning and doing the exercises at home seems better than after work at the gym — just a shame my full gym routine is too long for morning

#doxylifts compromising with myself by doing antenatal exercises tmr morning and just doing proper gym routine once a week instead of twice, i rly don’t have motivation to do twice a week these days :/

#doxylifts i really don't want to go to the gym today...

#doxylifts man Hevy feels so useless sometimes bc what do you /mean/ you don’t have sit to stand or bent knee fallouts in your database, these are so basic?

#doxylifts #doxyzooms #doxybends become less aware of pulling my shoulders back / tucking my tailbone in to engage my core and shit like that

#doxylifts #doxyzooms #doxybends (idk) i do notice when i don’t exercise for a while, my posture suffers lmao. like i’m just doing less shit with my body / cueing my body less so when i’m just going about my day

#doxylifts*** ugh

#doxyspawn #doxylifts searching "exercises to prevent diastasis recti" yields a lot of different ones, i'm sure it won't be a big deal if i do some of those one week instead of the ones my physio gave me :I

#doxylifts i've been so demotivated to go to the gym lately bc i've frankly been getting really bored of doing running maintenance + pre-natal exercises (fixed sets from physios) + a couple of upper body things every week, that i'm giving myself permission to do other ab exercises for variety orz

#doxylifts also if i don't gym tonight i have to actually do something fun and engaging with my evening not just brainrot on my phone as usual.

#doxylifts i don't want to go to gym /again/, i really need to go this week bc it's been two weeks since i last went /again/. i could push it to Sunday instead of today but i really /have/ to go if i move it to then

#doxylifts strength training for the first time in… a MONTH due to being sick, recovering from sick, busy :/

was really tempted not to go bc it becomes so hard once you’ve fallen out of the habit for a bit but i did it… i may have trimmed my sets down to 2 instead of 3 but still

skipping gym tonight to clean 😐

i’ll have only done one cardio and one strength day this week when i usu try to do 2 each but w/e

#doxyzooms #doxylifts

#doxyzooms #doxylifts
- finally getting into a strength-training routine after wanting to for years
- running my longest distance in one go (12K, early this year. wanted to have been able to do 21 but welp)

#doxylifts oh yeah, moved up to 10kg dumbbell bench press just bc someone was hogging my usual 7.5kgs lmao

starting to do my pelvic floor breathing for regular exercises lol but i suppose it’s not a bad thing #doxyspawn #doxylifts

#doxylifts finally back to the elevated front foot lunges after a while… i’m going to skip the weights until i feel more comfy doing the actual action lol it’s already a killer on its own

#doxylifts #doxyzooms it’s crazy how often this comes up, i was talking to sister abt my worries that my HR was too high and she was like oh don’t get caught up with the numbers just do what feels right

🫠

#doxylifts #doxyzooms it really drives me up the wall agskg i get that it’s hard to measure these thing precisely but if measuring equipment just throws up an arbitrary number that isn’t accurate what’s the point in paying attention to it

#doxylifts #doxyzooms so basically all this measuring equipment is useless and we should go based on vibes is that it

#doxylifts #doxyzooms #caloriecounting

Me: my fitness watch says i burned Y calories
People: oh that sounds like way too much it must be wrong
Me: how do you know
People: just feels wrong

??????

#doxylifts #doxyzooms #caloriecounting

Me: this website says i burned X calories doing this workout
People: oh you can’t trust those they’re too general and aren’t specific to you/what you literally did

#doxylifts #tmi im certain im prob clenching some other muscle than my vag but unfortunately it’s a bit like wiggling your ears right now where if someone tried to correct me like no move this bit i wouldn’t be able to perceive it and would just clench the wrong thing again

#doxylifts like it’s remembering it all and also coordinating all 3 things so they happen at the right time too 😐

#doxylifts #tmi i hate the exercises the prenatal physio gave me bc i have to do the actual exercise, kegel at the right moment and it never feels like i’m actually doing anything even tho i know i’ve done the motion or at least tried, and inhale/exhale at the right time too

#doxyspawn #doxybends #doxylifts i'm also mad bc i don't exactly feel like doing yoga or strength training like this, but i'm already behind /again/ this week

#doxylifts #bodyimage tfw i’m happy with how my arms look noticeably stronger to me, but whenever i try and take a pic they just look normal/like before lmao maybe i’m just imagining things

absolutely feel like i’m doing these new oblique exercises i was taught super wrong 😐 #doxylifts

#doxylifts anyway first day back at the gym in 2 weeks since i got sick 💪🏼

did not lose nearly as much progress as i assumed i would

i now feel like i did when i first started getting sick, so fingers crossed tomorrow/Thurs it will finally be gone... and i can /finally/ go to the gym on Thurs, it's been over a week orz #doxylifts
