Hi Everyone,
Yesterday after work I did Jessica Valent's chair workout - it was 20 minutes long and had a lot of functional exercises, like getting out of a chair. There were things I had to modify. A shorter version of the workout is on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeEUSW0tXks&t=17s I also posted it in the 'aging' thread in GD. Then, DD surprised me with wanting to go for a walk. So, I did end up with a decent step count yesterday. I do it not so much for the "exercise" as the movement. Working from home has really impacted my step count in a negative way. Today was: Pahla B - 31 Day Workout Series - Day 23 - it was strength done 'inchworm' style. Exercise A 20 seconds, 20 seconds rest, Exercise A 20 sec, Exercise B 20 sec, 20 sec rest, Exercise B 20 sec, Exercise C 20 sec, and so on.... Jessica Valent - Pilates for Hip Pain. I have done this one a number of times and it is a good one for strengthening and stabilizing the hips. I hope to get some walking in today! Our schools are doing the first semester on-line, so the earliest my DD will be going back is Feb 1st or so. I have mixed feelings. I think she is ok with it as she has hated H.S. so much and I think being out of that environment has been better for her mental health than being in it. But, she was going to be props manager for the school play and they have also cancelled all extracurricular activities and athletics. My DD is better with being able to go out to work and ride her horse, so hopefully she can keep up with that while doing this on-line school thing. Sherry - I haven't done any recreational shopping at all since this happened! But, I have never been a big shopper anyway - I don't really like to shop for clothes or anything. I generally was ordering stuff on-line before this happened. The only thing I used to like to shop for was books, but now w/ on-line books and the library, I had even cut back on that. I do miss walking around town with DD, though - we would do that a few times a month - I guess that was "shopping" to some extent as we would look in at various stores, etc. But it was mostly walking and usually getting something to eat. DH told me tha our state now has a mask mandate - now, whenever you are outside you need to wear one. I admit, even when DD and I would walk in the park, I wouldn't wear one since it wasn't crowded and I kept my distance from everyone. But....I think our case count is not really going down - it is sort of hovering in place - still under 5%, but.... Honestly my latest worry is DD bringing it home from work - being in an office for 20 hours a week - seems like a way to catch it. They wear masks and are spread out and she says there aren't many people in the office at any one time...but... stlll freaking out a little bit about it. She said the camp job was worse b/c kids were harder to control in terms of enforcing masks and social distancing. These are crazy times. Waves, wishiwasinhawaii! Hope everyone has a good day!
