Doing my usual gentle movement, still sorting out my hip issue. I remain an ongoing work in progress.....
Taking a break for a while, TTYL!

Perfect30 HAS ARRIVED!! Was here when I came home.
Home early as went to doctor about knee & shoulder. Knee: Liked the brace I've been using during workouts - has side support metal bits. Gave me a referral for an MRI but don't bother UNLESS there's still something going on in a month's time. MCL can take ~3 months to heal, hence the wait. Meniscus unlikely to heal as it's cartilage. If I can't do a twisty-Christi in another month, go that route - and if it IS meniscus, that'll probably mean surgery. He warned me that an MRI is expensive: $250. Shoulder: Unlikely to improve from now on. Range of movement (for my age.....) is better than most. Surgery might fix the impingement issue, but the ensuing scar tissue may end up with me in the same place anyway - positions that hurt. Basically, this one is a "suck it up, you're better off than most your age". Now... have work to do & have to get the breakdowns into my database, which means also previewing the workouts. PAM "an ongoing work in progress....." hope your long-run isn't 'suck it up' as well, or that it gets better enough so that's an ok outcome. LILI Nice couple of days there ! especially Sunday. HI CLEDA!! KAY - what's happening?

Helen: Eeek on the medical issues. Keep moving. It's good for us. Lili: I'm glad you find the buddy site useful. I'm now using it for the breakdown and descriptions (mostly music) of the Hydrow workouts. Very useful! I will be back later tonight (I hope) to fill you in on the last (will be) 3 days. I just have to hit the bike as time's a wasting! Make it a great day. Waves to all. Cleda |

Helen - I guess that's good news? Although, I would hope for something more positve. I don't want to feel good for my age, I just want to feel GOOD! (Says the woman with chronic knee pain!) I hope everything works itself out in good time. I think we all want instant healing and it just doesn't work that way.
Cleda - It's much easier to pick a workout when you have some idea of what to expect. Some days I need slow and steady, some days I can kick it up a notch! 11/9 - Leaf raking, this is a workout! WS3 Lower Body 20 minutes of rebounding

Wait what??? no new posts??
Guilty as charged! How can I expect everyone else to be posting when I'm not? Good grief! I am here to catch up as time is a wastin' and getting away from me. The more time goes on and I don't post? The more I don't post. (Kinda like if I skip a day of exercise. Wait! that hasn't happened this year. But you know what I mean!)
Just checking in! Lili: I agree! I've used the app a lot and now that I'm using it for the Hydrow workouts, even more so. I tend to look for music on that one. I cannot believe how the Hydrow app has put the spark back in my rowing. I am really REALLY enjoying it! (Maybe more now than I had been?) Go figure! (just anxiously waiting for Peloton to come out with a rower!) Leaf raking is definitely a workout! Helen: Sounds like you're managing the knee quite well. I hope it continues to get better. "Twisty-Christie"! I love it. (but not her workouts. Too much twisty for me. I always modified!) The 60s did have great music. It was all so short though. When Becs says she's going to play 14 songs throughout the run it's mind boggling. But it was great! Waves to Pam, Kay and anyone else I may have missed. and if you're lurking? Please join! It always invigorates us to have new people in the check in. New things to look at, possibly try, workouts we aren't familiar with. ... /end of salespitch. I mean it though! Have I really not checked in since Saturday??? (I better "get clicking" as my mom would say!) Me, me and all me: 11/8/2020: Power Zone Christine ride* (60 mins.), Rowing 30 mins. (a Breathe - aka technique video), Adrian's Leg weight workout (30 ins.) 10 min. CDE stretch, 10 minute Cool down ride with Emma, Sundays with Love (with Nancy) virtue: Patience! 11/9/2020: Tread: 60 minute Marathon Prep with Matt, 10 minute cool down run, 45 minute power zone ride with Matt, 5 minute cool down ride, Post ride stretch, 10 minute CDE stretch, P.M: 10 minute Row 11/10/2020: Power Zone Endurance ride with Matt (45 minutes), Power Zone ride with Olivia (endurance - 30 mins.) Post ride stretch with Matt and row for 10 minutes. *Sunday I had no intention of doing the 60 minute ride with CDE, but as I was drinking my coffee, one of the gals from our group was saying it was her 3000th ride and asked if we would join her in celebration. since I'm a good little lemming, off I went. I figured like last challenge, the pz rides wouldn't post till later in the day. But it figures, I no sooner finished my workout and about an hour later the rides dropped. I was in no way shape or form ready to ride again. Soooo I waited until Monday. I think it's in the first 2 weeks or so that we really get our jump start on the rides (before they get too difficult). I think in the beginning, it's more of a "time" thing. So, I'm trying to get ahead before the weekend. We'll see. So far? So good. Again, the rowing is taking off. I decided I will do my 18 sessions again this month. I have 12 to go. And 20 days left to workout this month, so I think it's a very doable goal. (short sessions - aka 10 minutes COUNT). So there you have it. Have to go exercise before work. Make it a great day. Cleda |
