Hi Everyone,
Today I tried another from the Get Healthy U TV Body Weight challenge - it was Mat Pilates 2 - it used a towel (I used a yoga strap) as a prop and was an athletic take on Pilates exercises. It was a nice one for a change of pace. This Body Weight Challenge is pretty good! I wonder how long the workout links will work for me? I may go back and try some of the other workouts in the challenge that I missed. The most "dread" full one being the Coming Down the Ladder workout.
Oh - I also did a quick 7 Min workout from Lucy Wyndham Read's You Tube channel to warm up - but as it turned out, I didn't really need to since the first half of Mat Pilates 2 is done standing!
Yesterday DD and I took a walk with the dogs in the evening. The weather looks nice so we will be doing that again today.
Our Governor is talking about relaxing restrictions and moving into Phase 1 of re-opening. I guess the numbers they are looking at are hospitalizations because our case count has been a steady rise since this all started - I see no flattening of the curve! Honestly, I think is premature and I think it is political pressure and not science or regard for human life that is driving these states to re-open. Hopefully, I will not have to go in the office regularly for some time and I do plan to limit all my other activities even when I do have to return to the office.
While I do feel for people who are out of work I just don't see how prematurely opening and causing a spike in cases/hospitalizations/deaths is going to improve the economy.
Oh well - I guess there is not much we can do about it other than to take the precautions that we feel are appropriate for ourselves.
When I eventually do go back to the office, I'm thinking about going back to Jessica Smith's rotations - maybe working through all my DVD sets. Or maybe following the ones she posts on her site. Her rotations are so varied, workouts are usually 30 minutes long (perfect for when busy with commuting and all the other fun that comes with going back to the office) and I end up getting a well rounded workout plan without having to think too hard about it. I may start with the 30 day walk plan and do it over 60 days with Pilates/Ellen inserted every other day. Then I may move on to Walk Strong 1, 2 and 3.
Hope everyone has a good day!!!
Donna
