Hi Everyone,
Well, yesterday I decided to finish off the two remaining miles from 5 Boosted Miles, so I did those during my "lunch" hour. And, then in the evening, I did Jessica Valent - Piriformis Syndrome Exercises and Stretches which is on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9BmYr07nvU Beware - it contains a paid add in the middle of the video - but it is a good routine and you could just learn the exercises and then do them on your own. I believe she has this in her Unlimited paid site - w/out the ad, too! I don't think I have piriformis syndrome, but I did enjoy the stretches. I think what I have honestly, is a arthritis in my lower back and hips and I learned that one of the moves that bothers me the most is tucking the lower back - I was feeling better, so I started doing more cat/cow movements and then something got irritated again - so I need to back off those. When instructors do them I'm going to sub bird dogs or something else form now on. In one of Jessica's videos for SI Joint, she does mention that doing pelvic tucking is not great if you have SI joint issues - I don't think my main problem is SI joint, but I think I can flare it up with certain moves. I do think in general though it is arthritis and a bit of scoliosis. Anyway -sorry to ramble! Today was: 1 Mile of Leslie from Leslie's 3 Fast and Fun Miles I'm following this calendar for my Leslie walks - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9BmYr07nvU I haven't signed up for this - b/c I own so much Leslie content, but I'm using it for my mileage guide! I also did Blessful Body - Core Flow Jessica Valent Pilates - Pilates for Legs - I have done this one many times but it is a good one! I may squeeze something in during my breaks today... I think my February rotation is going to default to Pilates and Walking.....but we shall see, LOL! Carol - Oh my - you hit the nail on the head. I live in a very liberal state - although we do have a republican governor - one who was always at odds with Trump - take that as you may - LOL - and I work for a very liberal local gov't - possibly the most liberal jurisdiction in the state - and I agree - we get nothing done b/c of exactly what you said....and I agree, not taking action until something is perfect ultimately means nothing gets done. From what I understand MD is woefully behind on vaccinations and it is a disaster - lack of information, lack of clarity. Terribly inefficient.....and ultimately, ironically, harmful to the population they are trying to be fair too. We have a huge budget so money is not an issue. I couldn't believe that we have a snow day in virtual school - but I suspect it may have been b/c some students access the schools for internet service - but I think there could have been a workaround to teach the majority of students able to attend virtually. And, our school system provides wifi hotspots to students w/out internet service, which are admittedly very few around here. Who knows though... I think a small school would be best for her, at least to start...one of the schools she was looking at has a great reputation but freshman intro classes are 200-300 kids...she will not learn well in that environment and she is not the most outgoing person on the planet so she would just be an anonymous name to a professor. In the school she is looking at I think 70% of classes have fewer than 20 students. And, it is a state school so tuition is not ridiculous for us and she got a scholarship... Anyway - sorry to rant above! LOL! Donna |

I forgot to mention - I found this new Pilates channel on You Tube - I think it is Brooke Siler who did the Element Pilates for Weight Loss video:

I'm sorry Dana - this is the calendar:
https://yourdailywalk.com/ You can subscribe for $4.95/month but I own so much Leslie content - and other walking workouts....so I though I could just follow this for the mileage... Donna |
