Pam: Quick waves as I ride on by!
Too many workouts and not enough time (you mentioned needing more strength.) At least that's how I feel some times.
Lili: I agree! I think it's the "not liking what to decide to do" that drives me crazy. This way? It's there! I do it. I also
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the stacking feature on Peloton. The strength group I'm in puts out a calendar, complete with LINKS that takes me right to my Peloton page, I stack the strength workouts, so they are in there when I want/need am ready to do them. Some days I get to them? Some days I don't. I think it's one of the BEST features they've come out with.
Thank you both for always posting and keeping us rolling! I'm sporadic at best.
We're supposed to get another snow storm today. I'm so over winter. But I shouldn't complain since there are other parts of the country far worse off than we are. And I have a full tank of heating oil and electricity. So there's that to be thankful for.
Ok, on to me, me and all me.
2/16/2021: Rowed 30 mins. (to all Queen music!
loved this one) plus a
5 mins. cool down row (for technique), then a
45 minutes endurance power Zone ride with Denis (for the challenge), then
10 mins. core with Emma,
10 mins. Lower body w/Selena**, 10 mins. Yoga flow (don't fall over - it was to open up the hips and felt good!)
2/17/2021: Power Zone 60 mins. ride with Matt. This was all zones 4 & 2 and a tough ride (holding zone 4 for 8 minutes, 8 minutes, 6 mins., 6 mins, etc. etc.) I did great and EVEN got a PR! Which rarely ever happens. SO PLEASED. followed by
10 mins. "Bob Marley" Core workout with Emma and a
Cool down ride with Denis (5 mins.)
** I had this one bookmarked as a good workout. I normally love working legs. I must have been caffeine deprived when I bookmarked this.
In who's universe is it
FUN to do static lunges, holding them for 5 seconds halfway, up and then all the way down? What was I thinking? I did like the weighted clamshells though and the donkey kicks with weights. Maybe THAT's What I remembered about it? Who knows.
The Bob Marely Core workout was great. (Side planks modified of course). LOL. She does side planks and pulls the bottom knee into the chest. Ummm. yeah. no. that's not happening, but holding a modified side plank still works the muscles. I Loved the music in this one, so I bookmarked it.
I've been trying to do core every day and I'm definitely feeling stronger. I slipped on the ice in the parking lot a few nights ago on the way to my car at work and I am convinced I was able to catch myself and NOT go down due to my strong core. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Ok, gotta go get a workout in and get to work before the snow starts. This winter has been lonnnnnnggggg.
Make it a great day.
Waves to all!

PS ... I am so happy to be back to the Power Zone challenge. I think the 4 ride format is awesome and enables me to do my 4 rides (plus one extra credit) and get lots of other workouts in also.
