Sept 2020 Yoga Cross Trainers: Summer and fall waltzed to the wind... - Page 10

Happy Moan Day! My weekend ended up being pretty crummy all around. I just can't sleep and and I'm going to do some research on herbal sleep aids. DH and I walked last night, so I'm prepared for a new week and soon a new month. On a positive note I nailed 12,000 steps yesterday and it's time to set up my October workout calendar, which is always motivating.

The yoga teacher sent out an apologetic email and gave us all a portion of the class fee back as a credit, so all is good there.

Be well everyone! I'll catch up tomorrow.

Hi,

I did a Yoga Upload practice yesterday afternoon.

This morning:

Body Project circuit workout-this was harder than the one I had done before. It was a little over a half hour. I did bicep curls at the end instead of the cardio since there wasn't one focused bicep exercise

Yoga Ranger-Yin Yoga for hips 30 minutes. This was a lovely practice. Aprile suggests putting a yoga block under your "standing" foot for figure 4. That felt really good!

Pat, I am so sorry about the trouble sleeping. I hope you find something that works. Hugs! You are doing so well with your step counts.

I'll try to check back later. Hi to everyone!

I will be taking a rest day tomorrow, but will likely do yoga.

Sherry

I am helping with this "virtual retreat"! Should be an adventure.

Not much new with me. I'm teaching a lot of classes...and continue to run my daughter around.

Post and run from the dull and boring all work and no play girl.

Monday: I enjoyed the Team Body Project work-out posted to YT 9.23.2020 so much that I did it again.

Tuesday: Team Body Project 1 hour weights/cardio work-out posted to YT 8.25.2020. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZYw0SBqjqI I suspect I will be one sore pup tomorrow! You could break this one out by legs, upper body or cardio if you wanted to do a shorter work-out. I followed that with a 15 minute stretch on my own while listening to Leonid & Friends. They always make me smile.

Time for coffee and back to the desk.

Pat - Two thumbs up to the yoga instructor for that gesture.

Waves to ALL!

Pat, I found the sleep tea by Traditional Medicinals to be helpful. Would you like me to send you some so you can try it? I think they may sell it in Target. I found it at Wegmans but I know you do not have one near you. I also have some other brands of sleep tea. I would be glad to share.

I am taking a rest day today and catching up on cleaning.

Eta:I also have Yogi sleep tea.

Good morning! I didn't get much done yesterday except for making myself do a Pilates routine on Glo. It was a very good one and I bookmarked it - Breath Focused Classical Pilates with Kit Rich. DH went to Walmart and got some melatonin for me, but he has to take it back. I researched it before taking any and found it would have adverse effects on my "issues."

I'll try to be better exerciser today!

Sherry, thank you for that recommendation. I love Traditional Medicinals. Chamomile Lavender and Throat Coat are on my co-op list so I'll add a box of the Nighty Night with Valerian. The website shows they have Throat Coat lozenges now, and a Hemp/Herb Joint Health Meadowsweet tea. I might just order from TM.

Cyana you have me interested in Body Project! That looks like a great workout, I like the format and music, too. Hope you're not too sore today.

Pam, the virtual Essentrics retreat sounds nice, especially with Jackie teaching!

sherry7899 · 09-29-20, 10:05 AM

Pat, I hope the tea works for you. Melatonin gave me bizarre nightmares.

Cyana, I have been meaning to try that workout , but I have been a little intimidated.

cyana · 09-30-20, 07:38 AM

This AM:
YT - Team Body Project - 30 Minute Low Impact Cardio posted 7.23.2020. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SpPraOLJl4
YT - Holden Qi Gong - 7 Minutes for Health
YT - Temple Sounds - 11 Minute Chakra tune-up with singing bowls

My quads were definitely speaking to me this morning!!

Must get my day going - time to grab the coffee and get rolling.

Hope you got some sleep, Pat. I've been working to get my sleep to a better place for a long time. Who knew getting a decent night's sleep could be so much work?!?!?

Sherry - I went back and forth between the easier and harder modifications on yesterday's work-out. I'm glad they provide options and encourage you to move at your own pace when needed. I could see where this work-out could be hard on sensitive knees - mine were complaining a bit near the end of the lower body section, but that isn't anything new.

Waves to all.

Pat58 · 09-30-20, 09:05 AM

I had a much better day:

~ pre-walk Pilates/yoga blend
~ 50 butt bridges including 20 one-legged reps
~ lunch walk (1.6, 22 mins)
~ Margaret Richard Good 'N Strong, Vol 1 workout 1 (upper body)
~ Ellen Barrett Crunch Pick Your Spot Pilates - butt workout
~ evening walk with DH (1.28, 42 mins)
~ got my 10,000 steps!

Sherry - I drove right to the co-op after work and got the Nighty Night Extra. I was worried about the taste because valerian tastes like butt, but the blend was actually very good and I began to feel drowsy before finishing it. Thank you!!!!!

You are a lifesaver.

Cyana, good workouts for you!! I saw a 10 minute low impact from Body Project that is on my list. The music is so refreshing from what's out there now.

sherry7899 · 09-30-20, 09:33 AM

Pat, you had a great exercise day! I am so happy that the tea helped.

Cyana, I never do high impact and I am careful of my knees. They never used to bother me, but I overworked them doing hour long Soul Sweat dance workouts four or five times a week. Sigh....

I had planned a cardio/strength circuit for today, but I got my flu shot last night and slept horribly, so I scrapped it. I pushed myself through a 25 minute Body Project cardio. I may do yoga later. That will probably be it for today. I'm really tired.

I'll be back later.

Sherry
