Good morning!
JS 6 Mix & Match Miles DVD Mile 4 & 6 - 30min JV Arms & Abs - 19min Jessica Valant's workout was from Tuesday of this week. It was a little wrist intensive for me but overall I enjoyed it and found it effective. Tomorrow I'm planning to do her Legs Power workout which was scheduled for yesterday. I have to go to the office today which I don't mind at all. I actually like working weekends. Less traffic and fewer people around. Also, it gets me out of the house which feels awfully emply without Basil. I worked on Thursday and my DH was home alone and he also mentioned to me how empty the house felt without our boy. Brenda, I've been drinking chamomile tea before bedtime for years and it's been helping me to relax and fall asleep if not necessarily stay asleep. I usually get 5 and only occasionally 6 hours of sleep every night. Not ideal but not much else works for me. Good luck finding what works for you. Hi to Carol, Donna, Linda, Cheri and Christine!

Hi Everyone,
Today was: Pahla B - Walk off the Weight - Day 8 - Strength Training. This was an nice routine - I like the simplicity of her weight training workouts and her messages about them and their importance even if they don't show up on your step counter. Yoga w/ Adriene - Breath - Day 7 - Synchronize My DD is ditching me today to go hiking w/ friends - so no walk w/ her. I may take my Golden out for a walk - maybe a nice slow one to allow her plenty of time to sniff around. I will also get my CS in - it ihas proven to be just what I needed to get my hip and lower back back into the happy range. I don't know why I am not more consistent with it....b/c whenever I am I notice changes. I have been adding the CS on as a mid-day break from sitting. A new challenge is starting on Monday - but not sure if I want the "pressure" of a challenge, LOL! I did do CS 1102 yesterday. Dana - nice work! One thing about Jessica V's workouts is she does do a lot on all fours which if you do have sensitive wrists can be hard. The leg power workout is a good one - but she does pistol squats and I skip those every time. I kind of understand what you mean about work - I prefer to work when other people aren't around....I focus better. Brenda - no advice on sleeping....unfortunately. My issue is not falling asleep but staying asleep. I think it is partially my mind that gets too active and keeps me up. I probably need to work on some sort of soothing self talk to go back to bed. Good for you for moving on to another rotation - there are no exercise polices - LOL - they won't know you didn't finish! Waves, Linda and Carol! Donna |

Friday's workouts were
Pahla B - Walk Off the Weight - Day 6 (cardio & light weights) - 25 minutes Jessica Valant Pilates - Pilates Abs at Home - 9 minutes Both of these workouts whipped my butt. All of that work with the weights overhead (in Pahla's workout) was just a killer. I used .5 kg weights (1.65 pounds for those who need to know) and ending up dropping them before the end. Ugh! And Jessica's ab workout was a significant step up from her beginner ab workouts I've been doing. I would love for someone to put out a 28 day TRULY beginner's pilates series. I see lots of things marked "beginner" but they are clearly not geared towards the type of beginner that I am when it comes to core work. Donna - Nice work with Pahla's weight work. And I agree, Jessica does a lot of work on the hands which I do not enjoy. Dana - Nice workouts! Another one here who does not enjoy wrist intensive work. Linda - I have to give Pahla B credit for the "exercise police" saying. She mentioned it lately and it stuck in my head. Brenda - I have no trouble falling asleep, but I simply cannot stay asleep. I wake up several times a night and generally do fall back asleep, but my sleep is not nearly as restful as it was 20 years ago. I take a sleep supplement for "monkey brain" and you are welcome to PM me for the name. I think it helps, but it is not a cure-all. Waves to all ~ Carol |
