It's my morning routine and now I
DO have something to post. So onward I trek!
Pam: I had to start the new year off right. It sets the tone for the rest of the year and you all know I had a wavering moment of not wanting to do
"Every Day in 2021" ... that will never do. Then I joined that silly strength challenge. And now I don't know what I've gotten myself into?!?
Helen: I knew you'd come up with a pretty "Welcome" for our happyladi! I just knew it. And I should have known you had it ready to push enter and send it off!
Lili: I don't know if you do any Peloton strength workouts. That's what I'm on to now so I don't know if I'll have many recs. We'll see
Happyladi: I hear you on the floorwork. So accomplished when we do get er done. I have a terrible time with vertigo and am petrified it will return, so I'm super cautious on any up/down, up/down motion (that some instructors are very fond of). But like anything, I suppose the more I do it, the better I become at doing it.
Kay: Waving at you. I know you'll pop in soon. I'm SURE of it.
Waves to any/all lurkers and it may be 2021, but my saysings are the same -
On to me, me and all me!!!!
1/2/2021: Core 10 mins w/Olivia,
Full Body 10 mins w/Selena Samuela,
Full Body 20 mins. Robin Arzon **,
Tread Bootcamp w/Chase Tucker
(45 mins.) and wrapped it up with a low Impact
20 minute ride with Hannah Frankson and a
5 min. bike stretch with her as well.
** I absolutely
LOVED this strength workout.
I like some of Peloton's strength, most I despise. They have a strong tendency to go to planks, side planks, push ups, etc. I don't care for those so once I find some strength workouts that don't have them, I stick to them. I have a handfull of workouts I do (mostly by Adrian Williams) But this challenge will force me to try other instructors/workouts and as I had hoped, find new gems. This was one of them. A lot of the moves were actually kettlebell moves (athough she did them with a hand weight - I used kbs.) Definitely bookmarked for future use.
The challenge will also get me better at push ups and core (not that I will ever like them, but ya never know!) So that's one of the reasons I like to branch out. (Oh who am I kidding? Nancy said, "Let's do it!' Lemming Cleda said, "Sure .......... why not?" )
In addition to this challenge, we signed up for a 4 ride a week Ally Love challenge as well. Mixed something or other is what it's called. The rides look to be fun and not hard. Just good rides. It will give us exposure to some more of Ally's library.
As for the strength? There's usually 3 or 4 things listed. Ranges in time from 40-60 minutes. and they add on a ride or not. We can do all of them (which I have been doing) or use it as a "buffet" and just choose what we want to do. I wanted to start out the year right. I am off of work until Thurs. So I figured I'd give it my all for the first week. I was a little worried about today (I'm a touch sore), but come to find out? It's some core and YOGA. Uh-oh.
Will we get a snow storm if I do
YOGA? Ha! stay tuned. You all know I do better with a schedule.
So I never wrapped up 2020! My goals were (mostly) met. I lost a ton of weight, I did Every Day in 2020 and I'm pleased. 2021 will bring much of the same. I will get to goal (Weight loss) this year and start maintenance. I took more pictures and compared them to Jan. 2020 and there's a HUGE difference! YAY ME ...
That's it. Make it a great day.
