Hi Everyone,
I don't know what came over me - well, actually, I sort of do - last night I was helping my DD at the barn re-arrange the jumps and it really highlighted how weak I have become...it is discouraging b/c I do workout consistently. So, I decided I really do need to get back on the horse, so to speak, and challenge myself once in awhile. The trick is to do it in a way that doesn't result in injury or burn out. Margaret Richard to the rescue!
Today was:
Classical Stretch - Season 12 - Episode 30
Margaret Richard Unplugged 2026 - chest (dreaded push-ups), biceps, delts, outer thigh (Pilates style but w/ ankle weights and hig rep)
I decided to work "backwards" from these series b/c whenever I try to work through a season I end up quitting before I get to the end, so I figured this way I will try some new to me episodes.
I do wish Unplugged had music....I also wish Margaret's streaming was not so expensive $25/ month as I enjoy doing the workouts w/ the original music.
My plan for the moment is to combine CS & MR - this has always been a good combo for me and try to get some decent cardio in. Since I have been working from home since the pandemic started my step count has suffered greatly.
I want to make a commitment to get at least 2 miles/30 min of cardio in most days. I really *should* take a lunch break and do it then - but I tend to get sucked in to work and then I'm afraid if I'm "missing" people are going to think I'm slacking off.
I'm also going to be flexible to allow myself to veer off every once in awhile and do a "wild card" workout - if i get too rigid w/ my plans I tend to burn out.
Hope everyone has a good day!
Pam - agreed, Have a Ball is a sneaky workout! I haven't done much of WS 3.0, but I loved WS 2.0.
