Exercise chat and tips round 2!

Oh Nettie - I'm so sorry DH hasn't seen the importance of exercise for you health and well being yet. Is he a healthy / fit person? I really hope he can see that you need time for yourself too - exercise adds years onto your life and increases your vitality...Is it something you'd chat to him about sooner or later?

MG - Well done on the treadmill!! What is a light and hard session for you? I know it can be hard to hold back on a light session all too well :lol:.

Liz - I believe you can do 1kg on each side of the bar for the entire Pump class, that should be your first goal :dance:. As you told me, your DS weighs 8.5 kg now, so you can't tell me you are unable to lift a measley 2kgs eh?? (The challenge is on - you CAN do it!!).

Winter - sounds like the PT really put your through your paces!! What a terrific workout you had - so much so that you couldn't lift DD afterwards, now 'thats' a workout and a half :clap:.

Miss Heather - Yes I'm a personal trainer / Les Mills instructor in Attack, Balance, Combat, Jam, Pump and RPM. Be warned - Lorna Jane clothing can be addictive!!

AFM - This weeks training schedule went something like this:
Sunday - Pump AM
Monday - RPM AM / Attack PM
Tuesday - RPM AM / Combat PM
Wednesday - RPM AM / Jam PM
Thursday - Pump AM / RPM PM
Friday - Attack AM / Balance PM
Saturday - Attack PM

I have a Pump / Balance back to back class tomorrow morning, but still I'll need to do something cardio wise in the evening :lol:.

I hope everyone is keeping active during this lovely weekend!! :D

Leesa, that 1/2 - 3/4 of the class was the first time managed that before having to drop the weight (my kegs weren't going to hold out)

Mind over matter hun. You can do it Liz :D.

Leesa- DH would rather all of us went walking together in the evening. But it doesn't do the same thing for me. Time out by myself is really invigorating and helps me focus on my goals - but he can't see that. And by then my feet ache and I can't push myself like I could in the mornings.

And he's quite fit - but a big guy. He and Liam walk all over the place all the time (regularly goes for 6 kms walks during the day while I'm at work) - with Liam in the pram! So he's reasonably fit - walkingwise, but doesn't really do much other exercise except occasional stints on the exercise bike at home...

Is this Lorna Jane stuff only in sizes 6-14 or does it go up to my size? I'm intrigued now!

Aww Nettie - I wish your DH could see that if you can have one hour to yourself each day that you'd probably feel so much more vibrant and lively. How can he not understand that. You work daytime hours, tend to the family in the morning / evening - when is 'Nettie' time - you've gotta have some time for yourself too. Sorry, I'm a huge advocate of that - I'll get back in my box now :hide:..

Oh Nettie, that's hard. My DH was like that (still is to an extent) but is much better now. It's just taken a while but he's now on board. He knows I feel better and am happier when I exercise. I think he has also just given up arguing with me about it ;) I also encourage him to do his own exercise and have his own time out. Keep trying.

After all my excitement about getting to a gym last week, I had a big think about the practicalities of actually getting there in the evenings (and the mornings) and worked out that I wasn't going to manage it especially when DH has a hit of meetings or tennis practice and my already busy Mon and Wed evenings and DH works Saturdays so no one to look after DS while at the gym - no creches on Sats :(.

Soooo instead I've gone and got a Wii with the Wii Fit stuff too (including some dumbells so I can still do some weights). This way I figure I can at least do some exercise in the evenings after Blake's gone to bed (bedtime is all over the place) even if DH's out and about.

I start up my Pilates class again tonight since we had a Christmas/New Year break - my tummy's likely to be sore tomorrow (and I'll be yawning all the way through it Leesa like I did in pump, not cause I'm tired it's just cause I haven't done it in a while)

Don't lose heart Liz. You don't need to go to a gym to be active and reap the benefits of exercise. I have a treadmill at home and do the majority of my exercise on that.

I have PT tomorrow morning... my first session in a week and I'm not particularly looking forward to it. My motivation has gone on holidays I'm afraid. And my glute is a bit tight at the moment which is potentially a sign of a relapse... so have to be careful today.

I know I should go tomorrow (and will go)... but I don't WANT to go. The only reason I'm going is I feel like I'm getting somewhere again... but I don't think I am...my weight has actually gone up 1Kg in the last month... but I went clothes shopping yesterday and I bought the smallest size I've been able to for a few years! I still have a long way to go though...

Well..I am stuffed and as my DH has mentioned I am red in the face like a ripe tomato! I just did my first RPM in 10mths :dance:
Took it slowly as I don't want to frighten myself into not doing it again :lol:

Nettie: I hope your DH gives in a little for you, excersise is so good for you mental and physical well being. I know how important it is to have some time to yourself and do the things you want.

MG: I have heard and leesa would probably know for sure that muscle weighs more than fat so if you have put on 1kg you could be toning up just nicely especially if you can buy clothes in a smaller size!

Thanks everyone for making me feel welcome..I am a bit late coming into this thread by the looks of it.

I will be doing combat again Wednesday night...let's hope my rhythm is better than my first night :doh:

x Heather

Awww thanks guys for the support :hug:

I think I might have a talk with him in the next week (gotta pick my time) and see if I can't get a bit of something going...

Not even planning to do anything tonight. I gave blood at 3.30 pm today, so I'm giving myself the night off of pumping dumbells! :lol: We also went for a walk when I got home from work...

Liz - the Wii thing sounds like a good idea. Maybe I should consider that too - but we're on a tight budget around here, so I'd have to be pretty sure about it!

Well done on RPM Heather! YAY! :clap:

Fat and muscle actually weigh the same... it's just that it takes twice as much muscle to fill the same space as fat... did that make sense?

Well, I've messaged D to tell him my motivation has gone on holidays... hopefully he will be motivating tomorrow... Knowing that I would feel better after some exercise, I made myself get on the treadmill tonight. I only did 30 min and didn't travel very far ( barely even worked up a sweat!) but I do feel better for it. My left glute is still bothering me I'm contemplating a heat pack) - none of my stretches are working :( which is indicative of a relapse... I'm doing everything I can to avoid that! Especially with my trip away in just 6 sleeps!!!

Nettie,
We've been saying that about the Wii for a while but when I started to think about how much a gym membership costs and how much I would like to try and get to it and then thought about the actually getting there minus Blake (as can't do day classes due to school) and how much I'd be out (and DH is out a bit too) I went $400 is a lot cheaper than $600+ and not getting to the gym so that's how I convinced DH that it was time to get it.

Nettie - what is your fitness / weight loss goal? I'd have to go against the grain and say that a wii has limited application in fitness and weight loss - there is a 'ceiling height' so to speak of how far you can go with it. It won't come close to 'real' exercise :lol: - but it is a good start on the way to it. However - I bet it will be loads of fun on the upside.
And it depends on the time you can spare too. For some families, mine included time is of the essence. DH is a shift worker, so I adapt when I train to suit when he is home / or at work. I have two kids under two, I'll be working full time day shift hours next month, working in the evenings at the gym, and studying two subjects - if I can find an hour a day for an important cause - anyone can :lol:.

Hi CQ, MG, Liz, Heather, Winter!! Sorry I've been MIA - I'm on the second day of my Senior First Aid course today, and its Dad's birthday today, mine on Thursday and DD's on Australia Day - it's a busy month :D!

I hope you lovelies have a brilliant day!

First off, sorry about the all about me post but I just need to vent!

DH & I got organised to go to the gym yesterday, he had Combat at 10.30 & I had a Ladies Circuit at 11am. No dramas, I'd play with DD & then book her into the creche, DH could just go off to Combat. We get the tickets at the front counter & a creche pass for 1 hour. Off DH goes. DD & I go play and then I wander over to the creche just before 11 and the lady at the desk asked me how I enjoyed the gym circuit class last week. I rave about how great it was and how I'm off it it now. "No love" she says, "on Mondays its at 12 noon."

GREAT!! :o I took DD out of the creche and thought I'd still be able to do it, we'd work something out when DH got out of class but by the time he finished DD was OVER IT and ready for a sleep so I took the tickets up and told the girl that I would have appreciated being told that I got the time wrong. She looked at me like I had 2 heads and said "but most people go to the gym beforehand" - FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF WITH A BABY?? I ONLY GOT A 1 HOUR CRECHE PASS??!!!

I was so mad all day about it! I would have gone to Combat with DH if she had of mentioned that it didn't start till 12!! So no exercise for me yesterday!

Unless you count stomping around like a bear with a sore head all day! :redface:

So today it's Combat for me! Gonna work off my negative energy & get my head back in the zone.

Hello to Leesa - wow, you're going to be busy (busier!) soon!! :lol:
CQueen - how were your dates?
Leckart - good luck with the wii. My sis has lost weight with it. She does the Jillian from USA Biggest Loser's game.
Nettie - hope you can keep moving. Maybe you just have to do it & hubby will fall into line :)
Miss Heather - you go, girl! I'm scared of RPM!! You're very good for getting stuck into the hard stuff straight away.
MG - hope that your bum comes good ;) and no relapse :cheer:

:cheer: Go Team! Whatever you do today, do it to the best of your ability, give it your all, and finish with an empty tank!! :cheer:

Oh Winter! I would have been annoyed too!!!! How did Combat go today?

I had PT this morning. I was in a bit of a funk when I got there. I woke tired (I'd woken several times over night with pain needing a good stretch), lethargic, and just not in the mood for PT. I LOVE PT normally. Then I got there and couldn't see D's car so got myself worked up he wasn't coming :wall: But talked myself into going in and he was there (turned out his car was at the mechanic and he was using his Mum's car)... I have mentioned I have gym issues right? Anyway, I really didn't want to be there. I wanted to cry and go home. We went to the park to start training and my heart wasn't in any of it. I got slightly interested in a variation with boxing... but mostly I was absent in my mind. D even commented about it today. He let it go when he realised I wasn't going to discuss anything... but he did make me promise I wasn't in what we call "punishment and self destruct mode"... which is essentially me going hell for leather until I either injure myself or collapse in an exhausted heap!

Anyway, came home and felt unsettled so got on my treadmill and did 25 min walking. I feel slightly better now but still restless.

Sorry for my whinge!

Lisa - how is First Aid going?

I hope you're feeling better MG. Take it easy if you need time to recover :hug:

I smashed it at Combat! The instructor was leaving & it was her last class so I gave it everything I had because she was determined to go out with a bang! I had nothing left at the end. Then we all retired to the cafe for a going away party of fruit and biccies! Noice! ;)

Hope everyone else is moving today. If you haven't - drop down & do 10 pushups before settling into BB! :) Leesa's counting, I can hear her! Better do 'em! :rofl:

Rules are Winter - if one person pikes out - we have to start the count back to zero :D (Les Mills rules - but I'll take them on board!). Glad you got your Combat fix in the end - nothing better than feeling smashed after a class - I love that high it gives me!

MG - hun, whats up? Are you feeling better now? You have me worried!

AFM - Thanks for asking MG, yep Senior First Aid completed and passed easily enough. We had an Australian olympic gold medalist in the course - from Athens, so that was cool. I've been riding the calorie killer with RPM yesterday and I will again this evening - I don't have anything else much to report - you know me, just cruising along - I always get the exercise in whether I feel like it or not - I always feel 100 times better after doing it :D.

Gonna name names Leesa? How exciting!!! :dance:

Just did a class called 'fat burner', ouch. I'm hurting!

Did combat yesterday and Sunday. I am addicted i think.

Really need to work on my pelvic floors. :redface: I thought they were ok, but high impact proved otherwise....... :redface:

Go JungleMum!!! :cheer: :clap: for high intensity :clap:
Poor pelvic floor! :rofl: It'll get there. I'm hoping that oneday I'll be able to sneeze without worrying too!! :)

Well done Jungle Mum! I agree with Winter that it will get better if you do all the right things :)

Winter - well done on your Combat class! You're scaring me though! I want to do one but not sure I have what it takes :rofl:

Lisa - thanks hon. I'll be ok. Just a funk. I get them every now and again when I'm not getting the results I want or my fears get the better of me. And to top it off, I had to hand over my exercise and food diary today. With my 1Kg weight gain. I'm dreading the lecture next session. I only have myself to blame but not a nice feeling. D mentioned today he "knows I hate exercise" but he is so wrong. I LOVE it. I just don't like doing it in the gym. I use to be a dancer so exercise is a release for me. I just don't like the the negative pain associated with my back and how that impacts on my work and life. It's all a bit complex (I think I went into some of it in my blog) and I am very lucky I have a good trainer who knows and understands my issues... just a shame he's a HE and young and a bit... well... young (:rofl:) at times! He made a comment today that was a bit hurtful although I know he was joking. But don't worry... I can hold my own! :rofl:
Who did you do your First Aid with? I used to instruct with St John over in SA (many moons ago).

Hello everyone! Can't do personals tonight - on the mobile phone internet while the computer's at the shop.

Managed to convince DH about the morning walk! Am eager to get started first thing tomorrow!!

Heard on the radio this morning that a local gym foes some of these classes (combat, I think?)

MG - So is the any form of dancing class you could do these days? Or maybe thats something to aim for? Yep, St John in SA - trainers name was Bruce Gould whose been around for 40 odd years, so you may have crossed paths with him?

Nettie - Go and give Combat a crack? Please!!! Your feet are ok to walk now are they? Don't push it - but I do look forward to hearing about your invigorating morning walk tomorrow :D.

Winter - Why not, his name is Ben Hall - he won a gold medal in the relay (track) Athens. I picked out he must have represented Oz somehow as he had the official backpack with him and I recall seeing it while watching the Olympics, and yeah, during the introductions hes so modest and says 'well, yeah, I guess we did ok' - the trainer says 'did you win any medals' and Ben's like 'oh yeah, we won a gold medal' :o. I'm thinking 'dude, you won GOLD - talk yourself up' - but he was quite shy!

:lol: Have met both of those ppl Lisa ;) I was around for a bit, it was how I met DD's Daddy. He was rather high up the food chain... Funny how modest Ben is!
I don't think I'd ever go back to dance Lisa. It was a long time ago and was a very significant part of my life. It was my escape pod from some pretty harsh stuff I went through and also very taxing. I gave it away because I damaged both ankles pretty badly and they couldn't take the punishment any more. But dancing was an obsession... I don't really have room in my life for obsessions any more! :lol:

Nettie, how did your walk go? :cheer::bluecheer:

Winter, how are you feeling today?

AFM, I have work today *yawn*. This shift makes it hard for me to do treadmill at home but I have physio after work for pilates so I'm not too cut up about missing my treadmill session today.
Tomorrow I'm on the late shift so not sure if I will get a session in or not. I will try sneak a look at the list for tomorrow before I leave tonight and see how bad it looks. If it looks brutal I'll skip a session, if it looks good I'll do a light session before work. Last time I did a heavy session before a late, I literally spent my whole shift running (it was the shift from hell!) and it took me a good 2 days to recover!
Friday I have a PT session with D. Hopefully it will be a good one. I'm still in two minds about going to it. Hopefully I will be more at peace by Friday so I CAN go and kick butt. Otherwise I will cancel Fri morning and do stuff at home Friday night!

hi all,
sorry i have been MIA of late.. you girls with all your motivation and getting into it kinda put me to shame with not getting my ass off the couch! :-) but today i went to gym and did a pump class, it was great. just have to get it into a routine now.

i have a lunge question.. i hate them. i think i am doing them wrong. where are they supposed to be felt? i seem to feel mine in my calf of the behind leg and it really cramps up. what am i doing wrong? also, they kinda hurt my knees and my bending knee just doesnt seem to smoothly go down. is there an alternative to these?

Hello everyone :wiggle:

Well I went for my walk this morning and it felt good. Did quite a short one (about 20 - 25 minutes) so that I didn't do any damage!

Getting a bit tired now from getting up so early (6.30am :o ), but not sore in any way!

Leesa, I will look into Combat. Not sure I heard correctly - but will let you know!

Quick post before bedtime. Body Balance for me today, Combat tomorrow. Feeling tired, but determined to go. Have Mothers Group afterwards so want to have done something before the coffee / biccies :)

Glad you got your walk in Nettie! :cheer: Will check in tomorrow to see how you go with another walk & see how you're feeling.

Hi Hollo - Leesa or CQueen will prolly check in and answer your lunge questions. Did you ask your instructor at the end / before class to check your lunge? Might help to see if you're doing it right?

Night everyone else! :) MG, Leesa, CQ, JungleMum, Miss Heather, Leckert :hello:

Hi ladies!

Hollo - kneel on the ground and put one bent leg in front of your body (so it looks like an upside down capital 'L'). Take a look at the alignment (if you have a full length mirror - use it - it'll make this process much easier ;)). The knee should be 'stacked' directly above the ankle. With the leg at the rear, tuck your toes under and push yourself upwards (initiate the move by pushing through the front heel - wiggle your toes and you'll have no choice but to push up thru the heel) leaving a slight bend in the front knee.
Then lunge down again...the trick is to make sure your rear knee is going straight down to the floor, and stop when your knee is about 10 - 20 cms off the floor (like a lift that travels up and down, not the escalator that goes diagonally up and down). At the lowest part of the lunge look over your front knee, can you see your toes? Look side on in that full length mirror - is your knee still 'stacked' over the ankle. If you have the 'L' shape going on and can see your toes you're doing correct - if not, make the adjustment so you can.

Have you any previous calf injuries? You certainly shouldn't be feeling any pain in them - and certainly no cramping either. You should be feeling the muscles around your booty activate (the leg that is in front is doing the work). Is your rear heel lifted and facing straight on during the lunge?

Nettie - I'm so so so so proud of you hunny! Awesome effort! :clap:

CQ - where are you sista? You have me worried here!

Winter - well done for sticking with ya program. Enjoy Combat tomorrow and enjoy those biccies knowing that you're burning them off at a higher rate as you'd done Combat earlier! Good planning!

MG - what sort of stuff does your PT get you to do? All sorts of unpredictable things or what? I like to compare notes from time to time lol!

Morning Girls!

Well done on the walk Nettie! How are ou feeling today?

Winter - well done on your efforts! Have fun in class today! I used to walk 3Km to Mother's Group so I could have coffee and cake ;)

Leesa - how are you travelling? I'm just skimming for something whilst I eat breakky so will come back later (when I'm less foggy) to tell you what D makes me do. You may just need to remind me...

AFM, I didn't do a work out last night. I cancelled my physio session because I was in a feril mood after a feril day at work and just couldn't stand having my physio in my space last night. Don't get me wrong, I really like her... I'm just not one for ppl to be suddenly out of the blue touching my body... D and I have been working together for 10 months (approx) and even he can't!!!! Anyways, I did some home pilates and stretching last night to half compensate. Tday I prob won't do anything because right now I'm struggling to stay awake... and I haven't even gotten to work yet! ARG.

Have a great day ladies!

MG hope you're feeling better tomorrow for the training/physio session you've got booked.

I managed to get 1/2 hour on the Wii fit today. I had a bit of fun trying to hula hoop - glad no one could see :lol: and did a few stretches too. Still waiting for a phone call to have a contract teaching/teacher librarian position for this year :rolleyes: as it didn't come this morning (too many permanent teachers in the SA Ed dept system and I'm not one of them :doh:)

Hope you got that phonecall Leckert! And the job :cheer:

OM Goodness! I just did Combat & the instructor decided that we needed to get ready for Release 43 - which apparently is a killer - so we did lots of high intensity stuff with little recovery. I got a heart rate monitor and wore it today. Average heart rate was 167bpm over 57 mins. I peaked at 187bpm andf my watch was beeping at me as I set the max heart rate to 180bpm! I think I'm going to have to get fitter or 43 is going to kill me!!

CQ & Leesa - will you be learning this new release too?

Hey Winter - ssshhhh, but I'm skipping Combat this round - as I teach 6 out of 8 programs it can get really expensive - especially considering I only do fill in classes (don't tell CQ :hide: :lol:). So this round I'm going with Attack, Jam, Pump and RPM. I set my HRM to a % rate so I know once I get to about 90 - 92% I'm at my near limit ;). BEST accessory to work out with aren't they? What sort did you get?

Leckert - I seriously hope you get a phone call soon - waiting can be totally agonising, I'm waiting for an email to get onto a course for work...Us government depts like to take our time, don't we! Grrr.

MG - I'm sorry to hear you had a shocker of a day hun. Fitness professionals should be asking your permission firstly whether they can go hands on with you or not. That was drilled into us big time! I'm cruising along nicely thanks, I found an online quiz that'll give me 2 'professional development points' for FREE last night. In order to be registered with Kinetc Australia fitness professionals must earn a certain number of PDP's each 2 yr period....So instead of having to pay for a course - just outlaid the $$$ for the Snr First Aid course - I don't have too anymore :D.

OT but: got ph call this evening and I head in tomorrow but without a contract (will be back dated when it all works out) :dance:

leckert - YAY! :clap::dance: Congrats for job honey!!!!

Winter - well done! :clap: You will get fitter soon hon! Did you love the class though?

Leesa - I know, but in her defense, it is part of the deal really - to correct technique so I don't hurt myself more... she is a physio afterall... I'm just not comfortable with ppl being in my space all the time. D is a little different. He touches to correct and prevent injury as well... but it is just different. I trust him completely but my past makes it difficult. He knows and respects that which is good.

I've not done anything tonight. I'm in my PJ's already. I haven't cancelled PT yet...I'm going to see how I feel tomorrow at lunch time.

Hi guys I am here! Just been flat out really and feeling a bit blah....

I did Attack for the first time in six months this eve (since my stress fracture) and it was great! I have a little ache around the neck of my femur but more than likely it's just the muscles that dont get used in Combat.

So overall things are good! And Pump training in a week WOOHOOO!!!!

Sorry no personals tonight!

:clap::dance: CQ! Well done on the class! How are you feeling today?

:cheer:Nettie :bluecheer: How are you doing?

:cheer:Winter? :cheer: How r u going as well hon?

Leckert - how was work?

Leesa - how r u travelling me dear?

How is everyone going?

I had PT today. All day I was thinking of cancelling. I really didn't want to go. But every time I thought of cancelling, I'd feel guilt. Needless to say, I didn't cancel. I was dead tired after just 4 hours sleep last night and a flat out day at work... and then I walked to my car after work and suddenly got very nauseated. The whole way to PT I was struggling not to be sick! But I got there, walked in, paid, and got on a treadmill. D, knowing me far too well, took one look at me and got me outside. He said he could tell I wasn't feeling well... and yet he still pushed me bloody hard! I had to stop several times to stop from throwing up. Which he thought was HILARIOUS. Evil Boy! I told him he'd wear it! :lol: BUT, considering how poorly I was feeling, we had a great session. It was still enjoyable and he said my boxing was heaps better... I wasn't punching like a girl apparently! Haha - all had to do with my music choice ;) Anyways, it was a good session - more like what I enjoy and I told him so. I told him he had to work me that hard every session. We will see if he does! LOL. My arms are jelly tonight and my tummy hurts (could be the dodge lunch). I'm going to feel it tomorrow! I told him if I can't move my arms tomorrow he has to come with me to Canberra this weekend and carry my luggage! ROFL The only down side is he'd stop me doing all the norty things I want to do whilst I'm there! LOL

Well done for going MG!

I piked today. I was getting ready to go this morning and I was feeling really sore & itchy under my boobs and I checked them out and I have big red welts from my bra rubbing. Its so hard to buy a sports bra when I'm still bf as my size changes! :doh: I'm going to let them heal and get back into it Monday. I need to find a good soft sports bra but I don't find they offer the same support.

Anyway, hope everyone has a great w'end!!

what i do usually is wear a soft sports bra and then one of those workout shirts over the top that has a built in crop top type thing. having said that, i havent attempted anything like body attack in it!
:-)

MG - thanks for the cheer! Not doing too much - did the walk the other morning and DH & I played with DS kicking around the soccer ball last night (running, etc) which was fun. Walk was really good and I'll be looking to do it some more next week.

Liz - yay for the offer. I hope you can get a contract though!

Winter - I've had the bra rub thing too.. ouchies.

Leesa - you sound SOOO busy!

CQueen - Hope you recovered from Combat ok!

Morning all,

School was good - lots of info and I feel like I'm at least a day behind everyone in the prep discovered that I'm teaching English & SOSE (society & envionment). Still no written contract but I did find that another school was keen on getting me (I prefer current school though).

Anyway to make it on topic - still waking up and will get on the Wii later today (last night went out for 10th wedding anniversary and Blake decided he wasn't super keen on what I ate as he kept waking up trying to fart and feed so not much sleep:rolleyes:)

ETA not getting to wii today :( too tired and Blake's not been co-operative (45min sleeper and been fighting going to sleep today even though he's sooo tired. I did get a catnap but it wasn't enough) and currently having to tape the 20twenty cricket game for DH which he's at :rolleyes: and wii goes through the video so .... and we also have someone crashing here after they attend a party in the next suburb and I'm not sure if their son is coming too and don't know when they're getting here so can't quite go to bed until DH gets home but might any way in a moment or two)
