Helen: Our very healthy hobby indeed!!!
I'm not sure I bought many last year (Maybe Cathe's bands one and a KCM or two in the beginning of the year?!) But then I remind myself I just don't need more. I really don't. I passed on this latest round of KCMs (and not really sorry!) I have so many virgin dvds to do and I have so many that i haven't done in so many years that they would seem new to me.
Rebounding? I like it because it really seems to bounce out stiffness/soreness. But I do think that's from the bungee cords. It's not nearly as comfortable when I do it on my spring urban rebounder. I keep meaning to mention: it wouldn't get stolen at work. We have a very small office staff. . . and we are very blessed that we're more like a family.
(Wait!!! Husband, wife & son ... so it is like family. A couple of workers have been there for many years. I am one of the newest employees and I'm going on 4 years. Once they arrive? They stay!) There's only 12 of us (or is it 14 ... I'm sure I"m forgetting someone). But only a few full timers and then the others only work a day or two a week. (Not unusual in a dental office). Still thinking about it. Honestly? If others used it and it wore out? Then so be it. Doesn't owe me a thing.
I like to think that the rebounding really does help bounce out stiffness, lactic acid build up and GERMS. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.!!!
It's snowing, so I'm glad that we're not working this weekend. Of course we are not getting as hammered as parts of the Northeast., so I shall not complain (too loudly).
Ok, let's see ... on to the check in while I'm here:
1/28/2022: 75 mins. power zone endurance ride
DONE AND DUSTED!!!! Whew. Got that one out of the way. Week 5 looks awful for the challenge. (It usually is. Weeks 4 & 5. . .) Best just do it and get it done. (i will!)
Did I mention previously that I bought myself an Oura Ring? It's yet one more tech gadget. Tracking device. For sleep, recovery, heart rate, body temperature, etc, etc. Think Fitbit, but worn as a ring and the graphs/charts are prettier and a tiny bit more in depth. It tells me when I need recovery, reminds me it's bed time, etc, etc. I'm having fun with it and it's pretty spot on (or I know myself?) I've had it for 2 weeks now, so it's still gathering information about me and getting a baseline. Supposedly it can also detect if you're getting sick. (I hope that never happens). But it's fun and my new toy!!!! Days when I *THINK* I need a rest, not so much? Some days when I think I'm ready to go - I shouldn't be. It's all a learning curve. and we know I love tracking, graphs, data, etc ... so it's all good. The subscription was included for the first 6 months. Whether I'll keep it after that? Who knows ..... But for now? I'm having fun. It told me today that
My readiness score is "79" and GOOD. That my overall readiness is good, but my resting heart rate indicuates that I might not be fully recovered. So it suggests I focus on lighter activities today. . . .Hmmmmmmmmmm.....
Anyway ... gotta go do some "lighter activities" ... hahahahahahaha.
Waves to Lili and all reading!!!
Make it a great day.
