Hi Everyone,
We have been laying low - trying to avoid going out unnecessarily. For work - I only have to go in to the office on Friday - we have split up and only 2 people need to go in each day of the week - the rest of the time we are going to be working from home. We shall see what happens by Friday - it may be that we are 100% at home by then - things seem to be escalating exponentially! For workouts I did: Saturday - Ellen - Fat Burning Fusion and Jessica Valent - Pilates for Back Pain Sunday - Lucy Wyndham Read - 7 Min Arms & Abs; 20 Minute Walk & Tone and Jessica Valent - Hip Stretches Lucy Wyndham Read is a new find for me - she is on You Tube and has a website where she sells ebooks and programs. The routines I did today were very straightforward - but seemed effective. There is no music - so you need to play your own and the production value is that she is shown on a split screen against a white background with one side showing lower intensity and the other side showing higher intensity. I would do more of her workouts for when I'm in the mood for something of that nature - they are also good for when you are short on time. her website is here: https://www.lwrfitness.com/ I hope everyone is doing well during this stressful time. I'm ok w/ curtailing my activities - it seems like a necessary thing to do to keep the healthcare system from being overwhelmed. I am worried about DD, however, as less activity means more time on the computer which means more depression and disordered thinking. It will be hard to keep her busy/active especially since I need to be working during the week - as if I were in the office. I never thought I'd say these words, but I wish I was stuck at home w/ a 6 year old instead of a 16 year old! But, this too shall pass. Have a good day!! Donna |

Hi Everyone,
Hope you are all doing well in your "confinement"! Since I'm working from home today I decided to try one of Lucy Wyndham Read's suggestions for a morning, afternoon and evening workout. I normally can't do these things when I'm at work - but since i'm home, why not try. She posts a weekly suggestion on her blog - the only trouble is for a variety junkie you would be doing the same workouts every day. So, I don't think I'm going to do this all week - but maybe a few days a week. Here's her suggestion for this week: https://www.lwrfitness.com/weekly-workout-suggestions/ So, this morning I did the walking workout - it was nice for a change of pace. I enjoyed the cherry blossoms! The downsides of course are no music and blah scenery - (with the exception of the blossoms!). But you could always play your own music and, in fact, mute her b/c you could watch on-screen. Anyway, I enjoyed this for a change of pace. I think I will do the afternoon workout today after my conference call. Oh - I also did Ky Autumn's (Blessful Body) - Spring Renewal - Day 1 - Foundations. I like Ky and this was a nice intro video to her style. As much as I enjoy Trifecta from time to time, I don't really enjoy doing long Pilates workouts regularly - at least not right now... OH -DD and I took a walk outside last night - I think we'll be doing that regularly since we are getting cabin fever. Restaurants, bars, movie theaters, etc. are all closed here - and that makes sense, if you take away the places people go they will stay home. It is a confusing time and difficult to know if we are doing the right thing or not! We now have a confirmed case in our county - it is a woman in her 30's who is not hospitalized and recovering at home. I know I will have to venture out to the grocery store at some point, I just wonder how barren it is going to be. Now, that is self-imposed by the people who went in there and cleared the shelves! Hopefully stores will have time to re-stock. Hope everyone is safe and healthy!! Donna |
