Hi all !!

Yesterday was:

45 minute outdoor walk

It's not going to get out of the 20s for a couple of days but hopefully I'll get out to walk.

Have a great day everyone!

Today I put my workout off a few hours and almost skipped it but its cold here and I thought warming up would help. {I know its not as cold as it is where you guys are but its colder than its supposed to be!} I started with Fitness; with Cindy's 15m Sculpt Your Arms {i was able to do the entire thing with 3s}, next LI HIIT, Fun Fiery Flamenco, Quick Zumba and Senior zumba. I added a random 7m stretch.

We had an ice storm and snow. The first morning after the storm as I was letting Cindy outside I heard the cracking and falling of branches but our power has stayed on so far., I was a little concerned about letting cindy outside but she seems to like it fine. She is wearing a fur coat! Its supposed to snow 4 days next week, highs in the teens and a low of 1*F. Gah! Our poor heater has been running non stop since yesterday trying to keep up.

Nora, I'm so sorry your shoulder hurts but very glad you don't have to have surgery. Please check in even without a workout just so we know you are okay!

SB, glad to hear you were able to get outdoors. Glad to see the planks and pushups in your lineup! and even better MR! Enjoy getting outside for the walks but stay warm!

summer breeze · 02-13-21, 09:17 AM

Hi all !!

Yesterday was:

36 minute outdoor walk
100 kettlebell swings
plank and push-ups

It was very damp yesterday but not quite as cold as predicted. Today however is supposed to be cold and some freezing rain is coming in so we'll see how it goes.

PENGUIN, nice workout day, looks like some fun dancing. Glad the power stayed on.
That's always my fear with freezing precipitation. Your temps sound pretty darn cold to me!!

NORA, yes check in when you can.
Keep us posted.

Have a great day everyone!

Hey, good news we are having a heat wave! they changed the 1* to 7*! Gah!

Today was leg day. I haven't done AfriFitness for a while so I started with her Easy Booty and Thigh workout, followed by Round Butt, Toned Legs and finished with 20m Legs Bums and Tums

. cute title. My shoulders are a little sore from yesterday's ub workout but they are equally sore! yay!

Not that we planned on going any where in the next few days but we are getting notifications that things are being cancelled. I suspect Wed bible study and Thursday's Knitting will be among them.

I made chili and cornbread for dinner tonight . I'll put some in hubby's lunch tomorrow. Tonight I get to torture him my sending pictures ;P

SB, Hubby has a friend in Buffalo {where my Dad is from} I keep a page on my weather app for there to keep things in perspective. Not working right now. Its 18* here and buffalo. Good job on getting outdoors!

stay warm!

Hi all !!

Yesterday was:

31 minute outdoor walk

It was very damp and gray but no precipitation so I went for a walk yesterday around the neighborhood. Today looks to be the same damp grayness.
I really have to push myself to walk when it's so bleak outside. Let's see what happens as the day goes on.

PENGUIN, nice job with the descriptive leg workouts. Yeah it sounds like your temps are even colder than ours! That's too bad about the cancelled activities. Spring can't get here quick enough for me! Yum on the chili and cornbread.

Waves to all. Stay well everyone!

Happy valentine's day, ladies.

I haven't ventured outdoors in over a week, so I don't have too much to add to that conversation. I hear it's cold!

So, on Friday I decided to try a Leslie walk DVD. I felt ok doing it and my arm was well strapped in and immoveable, so no pain. Then yesterday, my arm was really sore. Is there a connection? I don't know. Anyhow, I did not do anything yesterday and will probably take it easy today, too.

So PP..you're sexting hubby for V-day? You go girl!!

SB- get that walk done.

patchworkpenguin · 02-14-21, 09:29 PM

Happy Valentines Day

I decided not to workout today. I got really cold after yesterday's workout and it took forever for me to get warmed back up. This happens sometimes.

Its still snowing, our current temp is 15* and they changed tomorrows low back to 1*.

Nora, I think there is a connection. I usually felt what I had done that day in my shoulder later at night, generally when I was trying to sleep.

I say take it easy for a while. If food porn is considered sexting, than I was all over that! I packed chili and cornbread for him for lunch today. Food is my love language

SB, maybe this means we will have a cool spring? A mild summer would be nice. I'm tired of being cold. We did hear from our friends is Buffalo and the wife had her baby. I'm sure the kid is thrilled with such weather! big brother looked happy!

summer breeze · 02-15-21, 09:49 AM

Hi all !!

Yesterday was:

45 minute outdoor walk
60 kettlebell swings
plank

It actually wasn't so bad outside yesterday after all. The walk felt good. I'm planning more or less the same for today.

NORA, thanks for the nudge out the door.
It was really the encouragement I needed to get out there and it turned out to be a really good walk. I guess it is possible the shoulder somehow got jostled during the Leslie walk. Interesting what PENGUIN said about her shoulder hurting later at night.
Our bodies work in mysterious ways.

PENGUIN, I can't believe the temps you're having. I think I saw it's that polar vortex going all the way down into Texas!
Congrats to your friends on the new baby!

Have a great day everyone!

I remember the last time I did Ellen’s barefoot cardio. I thought it was a monumental bore to be saved for when I’m too old or too injured for anything else. Guess what I did today! It’s still boring. I followed it up with a 25 minute Jenny Ford marching segment. Also boring, but that’s what I’m stuck with for the next few weeks, I guess.

Sb I’m glad I had a hand in nudging you. I’m really looking forward to when I can safely walk outside again.

Pp stay warm! Im sure that cold snap will be gone before you know it.
