It is my Friday (off of work) and it was a long week, so happy to be off to do some stuff and clean for next week! (Who said that?) lol.
Lili: I am hit or miss with Emma. I don't really do a lot of rides with her. I do her ColdPlay ride (which we all know is one of my favorites)!! but I think it's more for the music and maybe I don't look at the screen. Some of her rides, I just didn't click with. I like her ab workouts as many of them are usually no nonsense, get er done, (many times) easier moves than some of the other instructors. I latch on to them and do them. I don't feel there's a need to do some of those crazy ab moves. Consistency with good steady moves is good for me. She also has a couple of 5 mins. workouts that I think are effective (with no dread factor). I've been doing her one from 12/21/2019 and (for me?) it's a keeper. I may try the Foo Fighter ride (for the badge of course!) but I'm not even sure I know any foo fighter songs?!? Then again, I didn't know I knew any coldPlay songs either (and I knew them all!)
I agree with Callie - I did one and wasn't over the top or anything. I still like Adrian (most of his --- again, no nonsense, just lift and strength train) And the forever sweet Ben Alldis (for abs and strength). I know there's more, but these are my go-tos.
(not sure how I got off on *THAT* tangent!) .... And for riding - well, we know my ultimate fun instructor is Bradley Rose, with Ally a close second. But for training? I think it's Matt and Denis. Huge difference for me on "training" and "fun rides" I'm sure there's more too with rides, but this will do for now.
Ok, ok, enough about peloton instructors .... on to my workout:
11/18/2021: VERY LOW energy day. I thought I got away with not being too sore from Adrian and my 40 lbs. of deadlifts. But then the day wore on and on and within about 36 hours ...
HOLY MACKERAL. I wanted to curl up and go to sleep. But I couldn't. I had work, I had commitments, you know the whole thing.!!! My inner thighs were screaming at me. Yep. Inner thighs. Not hamstrings, not butt, INNER THIGHS. Guess I know what I need to work on. BUT ... (no pun intended!) I did
play 2 hours of pickleball. It was in the 60s and I'm guessing the last time we'll see that temp except for a fluke day !!! So I took full advantage and raced to the courts after work. There was only 30 mins. of organized play left and they only did about 20 mins. more. My friend couldn't come, but luckily two other ladies showed up, so we did play!!!! All is good. 2 hours of fun. Then I came home and committed to riding
Jess King Live With Nancy - so at 8 p.m., hit the bike for that. VERY low energy and mostly did zone 2. I was sooo beat. Wrapped it up, stretched and went to bed.
I was up by 3 a.m., but what can I say?
Waves to Helen!!!! Check in when you can.
I'm on a great streak right now of 6 days on program. THAT'S PHENOMENAL for me.
now to keep it going (I'm talking diet wise.)
Make it a great day. I'm going into 2022 closer to my goal(s).
