But my sincerity is equal to that of Helen's:
Welcome Pam!!!
I've seen many of your posts in other threads and we're so happy to have you join us. Helen injured her shoulder awhile back (you can read up more on it in the October check in. . .) Despite her limitations, she keeps moving and grooving!!!! I love reading other people's workouts as it sometimes inspires me to either (deshrink) videos I have or try new stuff. But as you will see, I'm primarily all about my Peloton bike.
(the last few months. Before that it was my treadmill, before that the bellicon, you get the idea. It just depends on what my exercise equipment of the months are.)
Helen: Thanks so much for starting us off. Somehow, I feel like I got my own personal line in there
(whether we write an essay?) We all know I start out not to say much and well, we all know how
THAT goes. hahahahahahahaha. And yes! Your step count is ahhhhmaazzzing. I love the falling leaves pic, but sadly hate that winter comes after it. 'nuff said.
So I am into November and this month I'm doing "Every day in" ... no matter what. I always start out with the best intentions. My body likes ONE day off a week but I can still do EDI ___ and get a stretch or meditation or something in on that day I like to rest. (Usually mid week?) But anyway .... No turds. no herds of turds .... cuz one day leads to another and another and another. Whether it's a one day of rest leads to two, three or working out leads to ... You guys get the idea!
My new challenge started. (Peloton Power Zone training). We are just finishing week 1. I am trying to bank some. Have a work retreat coming up and of course the holidays. Soooo need to have that cushion. I have once again signed up for the 5 rides + Accelerator (Term They are now using for Extra Credit!). After doing the Nintendo Ring Adventure on the Switch (once?!?) I decided i need some variety cuz how can one seem to be sooo out of shape from a video game? Obviously, I need to use other muscles and add some variety. Just because I can ride my bike to nowhere for (literally) hours on end, does NOT mean I am using all muscles.
Ok ... enough of this. I'm thinking Kettlebells will be a nice addition to my Peloton. Short, quick, gets the job done. Will also try to add other things in, but not sure.
11/1/2019: Matt's 45 minute Power Zone ride, +
CDE's Pink Theme ride**

RKS Kettlebells workout #1.
I have always enjoyed RKS. Not all of the days mind you, but several of them. It gets the job done in minimal time. So, I decided to dig it out, blow off the dust and get busy with it. adding 10-30 minutes on to my Peloton. Stay tuned and see if I stick with it.

Pink Theme Ride was absolutely
POSITIVELY one of the best rides I've done with Christine to date. (I'm still humming some of the tunes) ...I adore Christine, the music was great, the motivational talk was wonderful and it was just a great dose of what I needed. I have it bookmarked with every intention of doing it again (and again, again) Let's hope it doesn't end up on the cutting room floor when they have a music purge. Not sure it will, since Pink actually endorsed it on her either IG or Facebook page (can't always tell the difference) but she did endorse it. So! there you have it.
I noticed a "Cab Calloway" at the end of the month last month. Not sure if he posted accidentally in the wrong check in or if he's joining our group. If You are here - welcome to you as well. Kinda flew in, posted and off he went. We ALWAYS welcome new members and if you're reading - please post your November workouts.
Gotta run ... the Peloton awaits me.
Make it a great day/week!
