With life and some other things!
Lili: We are near NYC so things are a little more advanced here than some places in the US, but my feeling is that everyone will be catching up within days. Sat. we went on to an executive "shelter in order" place. Our schools have been shut since last week. Standardized Testing has been cancelled for our students. ADA keeps changing the "stay closed" until date and now we are up to April 20th although I think it will be longer. I saw that Delaware has put their executive order in effect until May 13th?!?
I have an (audio) conference call at 2 p.m. today, so I'll know more what my office is doing. Currently? I haven't a clue. We've been "emergencies" only now for the last week. The doctor donated a lot of our Masks, gloves to our local hospital. So there's that. When it's all over, I'm sure we can get more. But for now? More important that they have it. Anyway ... enough of that Doom & Gloom. There's plenty of that if I turn on the news or look at Facebook. This is my happy place, so Happy I shall be.
Yes !!!!
Tone & Strength is exactly what I printed out to do. Workous are 3x a week and I think that
EVEN with the current Power Zone challenge, I should be able to handle 3x a week. (Even if it takes me 2x as long to do
) It gives me a schedule. I need that. Would you like to check in with one another?? I was nosing around on Les Mills website yesterday and evidently, they are well aware of the "loop" should you ask for the resending of the email.
It leaves you signed in for
ONE YEAR. So, I still have to figure out if I can get the app working, as right now I'm accessing it through the web on the Ipad and mirroring it. Which is fine, EXCEPT should the travel ban be lifted and I decide to travel. Then I want the app so I have access and I'm thinking I can download/save some workouts that way as well.
I am very sore (still) from the Body Combat workout. But this is a good thing. Obviously, I don't use my lats that much while cycling or treadmilling!
Who knew?!?
(Insert sarcastic grin here). I am going to give this one month trial a fair shake and see where I'm at in 28 days. I still am kinda lost and bumbling through their interface. I'm not so sure that it is as organized as I would like, then again ?? I may not know what I'm doing either.
Soooooo on to me, me and all me ....
The Power Zone Challenge posted yesterday. But I didn't do the first workout (so unlike me). They requested, since so many of us are home to not ride ahead so much and try and do some rides with fellow teammates. I get that, I respect that. I waited. The silly thing is? I don't plan my ride around 'their" ride times, so most of the times I'm riding alone anyway?!? Sooooooooo at least I waited till the start day and now I can get busy.... I will bank some rides, as there has been a lot of power outages and flickering. I suppose it's from so many people home and using electricity. Although I can't confirm that. I don't need my power going out.
3/22/2020: Treadmill Warm Up (Matt Wilpers - Peloton)
10 minutes, 45 minute interval run (matt wilpers) - getting faster,
10 minute cool down run with Matt Wilpers treadmill .... Then I decided to do a little "bike" workout since It would be the last before the pz challenge. Something Fun. Opted for ally Love. Decided it was time to do "Sundays with Love". Maybe start the series, since it's on hiatus for now. I started with the first one and almost cried when I found out the VIRTUE for the ride was
COURAGE. How appropriate in this tumultuous time.... Now mind you, most of her (or all that I've done live) Ally Sundays with Love rides are 30 minutes. I was riding along, happy as a clam at my choice - what's 30 minutes - COURAGE, yeah baby! bring it on ... when I realized????? This ride was
45 minutes?!?
I still had 27 minutes to go? Say whhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaattttt???? I had grabbed 2 Nuun tablets to throw in my water (good thing) but I still got a calf cramp at one point. It did pass, but
YOWSA ... I ended with
Ally Love's stretch. I felt great ....
Lili: I meant to mention that Matt Wilpers is an
EXCELLENT trainer. There is NO way I could afford his individual training but he really gives his all for Peloton. Kinda of the "Boy next door" personality. Always refreshing, never swears and just a good all around kid!!!! I love his form pointers, his encouragement, etc. I am glad that you tried a workout of his. AND I should mention that his training methods
REALLY work.
Ok ... there you have it. I'm off to read facebook, listen to the news, unplug for a bit, work on my "to do list" and make it a great day.
NO doom and gloom for me today. I won't hear of it.
Make it a great day.
