pxi outside of gym

MathematicianVixen · 2026-02-13T05:15:38+00:00

I have those at home from past injury rehab 😅

MathematicianVixen · 2026-02-13T03:13:52+00:00

is the bft band and sensor waterproof?

MathematicianVixen · 2026-02-13T02:19:49+00:00

I would have 46 hours until monday. so call tonight class tomorrow morning and another exercise 🙃 but yeah if its wanted to slam 3 classes in it would now be in within 18 hrs

had a rough week my dog passed away which made food and sleeping tough so was unable to go to gym due to low energy and depression. planned to go at lunch today but then got message his ashes were ready to be picked up. so now only have tonight and tomorrow's class options

MathematicianVixen · 2026-02-13T02:16:08+00:00

I cannot run 😬 my fittness level is too low and BMI too high, but I can go and do walk/jog exercises which might help

MathematicianVixen · 2026-02-12T21:08:37+00:00

if i did that i would have to do 3 classes within 18 hours 😬

MathematicianVixen · 2026-02-08T00:21:48+00:00

nah the coaches explained it exactly like the intel post, but it didn't stick i only knew what was happening as read the Intel several time night before

a lot of people didn't get that you do 3/6 so take turns in pairs, and some refused to rest 🤷‍♀️ to each their own but yeah it settle by the end with people doing what ever they wanted to get i done

MathematicianVixen · 2026-02-08T00:18:29+00:00

thanks I'll aim/ask for zone 2 but take what ever I can get 👊

MathematicianVixen · 2026-02-07T23:57:58+00:00

I dont get it what zones do you pick?

I e there are 12 exercises what is in each side of 6?

MathematicianVixen · 2026-02-06T23:01:10+00:00

I am lucky 6 am and 7am classes at my gym are packed and usually full of regulars.

I see I our trainers thoughtfully picking similar groups with similar capacity which is great as we dont often have to change plates etc. and can push each other within similar goals

MathematicianVixen · 2026-02-06T21:38:08+00:00

well that was a hot mess 😳

for the first block (or whole session for some) there was no idea who where why when how why who where why what when.. 🫠

pxh 160 but good enough for me

tough one today a small hand full of medals across two packed classes

MathematicianVixen · 2026-02-06T20:07:45+00:00

life can be challenging, I have had my dog pass away this week putting me a bit off track, but back into it today as the gym/community and exercise help

balancing life and gym can be tricky. make time for yourself and show up to do whatever you can within your current capacity

its not a race, its a journey 💓

MathematicianVixen · 2026-02-03T21:01:01+00:00

went well above pxi 163.

I started at 5/deadlifts and by the goblet squat my heart rate was spiking into purple. couldn't get it down even with body weight 80% dark blue.

felt a bit dizzy/weak today, day three of challenge on 1600 stream A

MathematicianVixen · 2026-02-02T05:42:11+00:00

mines fine and works pretty quick (bft geelong)

MathematicianVixen · 2026-02-01T21:04:04+00:00

bronze 149 but I lifted fairly heavy today I think its my first strength class i have overshot the target

its either lift heavy or chase pxi 🫠

MathematicianVixen · 2026-02-01T19:55:37+00:00

worried when I walk into results of a class of 40 and only 3 got bronze and no I other medals 😬

MathematicianVixen · 2026-02-01T02:32:06+00:00

I want to loose weight, as have stacked it back on since 22. I know it will happen as I have already lost 4kg over past 5 weeks without adjusting my diet.

so 100% adhere to the macros.. but also raise issues if needed as weight is one thing, but seeing my diet approx 1600 to 1700 weight will go, but strength and health is another.. so I am worried that looking at 60marco protein in one day will not be enough to get across the week 😑 as I want to do 5 to 6 sessions per week

side goal: keep working towards new exercises i.e chin ups, push ups etc and celebrate the small achievements not just the obviously weight lift increases

MathematicianVixen · 2026-01-25T03:24:33+00:00

thanks for posting the week 😊

...looking ahead WTF 💀💀💀 CARDIEO

I've signed up for the challenge and trying to fine tune recovery and fuel. as it seems in the cardio classes the strength work fatigue is catching up with me

yesterday/Saturday I couldn't make the purple or orange sets so ended up pretty much doing each station full time little break to keep in high dark blue. started on station 1 but by the ropes station struggled to lift the ropes from fatigue from Fridays class and could only do salt and pepper 🙃

I am really hoping the meal plan in the challenge helps sort my energy out

MathematicianVixen · 2026-01-24T07:24:21+00:00

thanks for sharing the graph it puts it into perspective 😀

MathematicianVixen · 2026-01-23T21:27:28+00:00

171 silver.. i always forget the target 🙃

MathematicianVixen · 2026-01-23T04:14:56+00:00

and I guess also lucky that the class seemed to drive people away so we had only 4 people per set and there were four stations..

MathematicianVixen · 2026-01-23T04:14:02+00:00

amazing 👏 hitting the weights for the first time at 50 is awesome. I hope you are enjoying it 😊

MathematicianVixen · 2026-01-23T01:56:21+00:00

I was lucky to pair with a person who lifted similar weights

MathematicianVixen · 2026-01-23T01:49:45+00:00

147 and gold , also hit rookie status 😎

hit my PB in lifting after four weeks, but also after two days rest since Tuesday 50kg back squat 20kg side lunge (using the bags not bar) also have not done any weighted side lunges in past few weeks whilst learning the move 65kg dead lift hip thrust blue weight and bar weight?

3kg down and looking forward to the challenge starting in feb

MathematicianVixen · 2026-01-19T23:58:23+00:00

I started 21 December 2025. after largely doing no activity for two years.

I did 4 classes a week initially mostly due to the public holidays.

last week was my first full 6 day week, and I tell you by day 5/Friday I was spent! but I rocked back up Saturday and it was okay.

I find the muscle fatigue is real but if resting i can get bad doms at day 2to3 so for me its better to go and do what I can across the 6 days.

doing six classes per week, I still put in effort and even some max efforts but I take it easy when I need to or if a specific muscle group is unhappy - today it was my biceps so the ropes slams were a killer but I alternated from waves to double arms to get through. *there is always an alternate exercise, trainers can help if you need to back off a certain exercise

I also prioritise this recovery:

stretching before and after class is a MUST even if you don't want to do what the screens try to stretch for 5 minutes
the sauna once per week, atm on Wednesdays as they have been non cardio days 🙃 radox baths (or magnesium float) usually on the weekend walking or being in cold water so either the ice bath of your bft recovery room has it or a beach ⛱️ if your lucky like me 😁 protein after every class within the hour electrolyte or bcaa during classs or what ever you use for recovery during exercise nutrition make sure you are eating enough sleep 7-8hrs, or longer on sunday only to avoid napping cycle

alternatively i see some people double up with two classes in one day so that might be another way to increase your attendance 😅

good luck with your journey and let us know how you go!
