Hi Everyone,
This morning was: Jessica Valent Pilates - Wall Workout - this one was a mixed bag. While I can see the benefits of using a wall as a prop and for feedback - it, at times, was awkward - it also doesn't help that I don't have a ton of clear wall space in my house to accommodate this type of workout - and sometimes Jessica shows exercises that there is no way I'm going to do - although, in fairness to her, she always starts w/ a basic version that you can stick with while she goes on to more advanced options. Not sure if I will do this one again, but I wanted to check it out and some things were good, some bad, and some annoying! Essentrics for later today! Christine -yes, my DD does seem to be doing better - I'm cautiously optimistic. I'm glad she decided to challenge herself with a more advanced class, and, like I said, I'd rather her stress over school work than computer/social media stuff. Dana - That rotation sounds good. I know I need to work on my strength training, too. At some point, I think I will check out Get Healthy U again. It seems there is a lot more than when I first subscribed a few years ago. 30 minutes is perfect for me these days as I also like to add on and split up my workout sessions throughout the day. Hope everyone has a good day - Donna |

I did
Pilates Nest - Peace Love Pilates - 30 minutes This was Smriti's new workout for the month and I really liked it. There was quite a bit of emphasis on the upper back and neck, with lots of stretches for those areas and some strengthening work as well. We got an unexpected blast of snow yesterday afternoon that surprisingly made the roads a bit icy going home. The snow ended early, and I was dreading the drive into work this morning, with wind chills predicted to be in the low single digits or below zero. Much to my surprise, all of the metro-area schools and colleges cancelled classes for today, so we are home with a Snow Day. Hopefully the roads will be okay by in the morning for the drive to work. All of this after a high on Sunday of 78! Donna - I did enjoy Ellen's Barre Conditioning workout! Of course, I'm worrying that I'm not doing "enough". I totally get where you're coming from regarding your DD. Sometimes those "creative" workouts are a little too creative for my tastes. I saw a clip from that workout on Facebook or Instagram and I wondered if it might be one of those. Dana - I'll be interested to know what the Serious Strength workouts are like. I've been tempted by them since they are shorter. Christine - I'm not much of a traditional yoga person either, but I do like Jane Adams' yoga dvds. I am sure not into woowoo yoga. Carol |

Hello everyone,
Walk Shaped by Faith: Pilates with Props I had only done this workout once before and that was a while ago, so it was like new to me. I think it's my favorite! Theresa announced today that she'll be selling her 13 workouts on DVD soon through her website. Carol, that is some crazy weather. Ours has been up and down too, but not like that. We're due for snow and ice tonight and tomorrow. I'm with you in regards to yoga, no woo-woo for me either! Donna, is that a new one from Jessica? I agree, it's better for DD to deal with real world stuff than social media drama. Dana, glad you made some good streaming investments for yourself!
