Thanks! No problem.

So far, Friday the 13th is kicking my A$$ just as badly as it did back in March...let's hope things change soon!

Essentrics (30 minutes)

I wasn't going to exercise this morning but I decided to do Essentrics and I'm so glad I did it!

Carolyn, I'm sorry to hear about your SIL. I hope she makes a quick recovery. Thank goodness we have skilled doctors to perform the surgery your SIL needed.
I will definitely look for the vanilla scented products you recommended--thanks!

Beth, I'm sending you hugs!

Beth - Sorry you’ve had a rough week! (((Hugs)))

Sherry - Good luck at Trader Joe’s, & hope you get your treats! My family are set, bought for all of them yesterday. I feel for your friend who lives alone, that’s tough!

Pat - The Petrone Balls are quite gentle, don’t know why I haven’t used them more. I think that’s because they are larger so the pressure is spread out more and they are not solid. You can adjust the inflation with a needle & pump. I think you might find something similar at the dollar store for much less $. I need to get back to more strength work, but I fear irritating my hip until I feel it’s 100%.

Hi Paine, I’m glad Essentrics was a good choice today!

It’s rather chilly here today, likely because it’s sunny. The clouds keep warmth in. DH and I are going to bundle up and head out for walk shortly. Not sure what I’ll do after. Back later to post my workouts....

Waves to all!

Thanks all for the HUGS! I do appreciate my VF family.

I'll try to duck back in either tonight or tomorrow.

JustSandra · 11-13-20, 04:35 PM

Today is a planned rest day.

Beth: Sometimes you see the flash as you go through the stoplight, so then you get to wonder if it was you or another driver. However, I didn't know anything until I got the ticket in the mail a few weeks later. It did feature a nice photo of me at the wheel of my car!

Hope your week goes better.

Waving to all!

Back to post my workouts....
~5 km walk
~Short stability ball HIIT w/o on YT by an Essentrics friend. The first time I’ve picked up hand weights in a while, it was pretty low key, a good starting point
~BellyFit TV: season 2, episode 1, Confidence - cardio only about 25 min - I decided to revisit these. The cardio was the perfect length, the same as Shakti Warrior. It was a nice brisk pace, great music, but the blank set is very bland. But I did enjoy it.
~Alignment Snack: Leg Goes Forward, Leg Goes Back - Very nice hip & ham focused stretch
~Active release to hips with Petrone balls.
~Steps: 10,648

Sandra - That flash as you drive by a photo radar or red light cam is very disconcerting!

We appreciate you too Beth!

Waves to all!

I'm sending all Mat Mavens (((VIRTUAL HUGS))) during these difficult times! I have a bit of blues (and stress) too with all the news, the days getting darker, and the cloudy and rainy past few days haven't helped much either.

Here's how my week has gone so far. I'm still plugging away with Cathe's STS.

Sunday:
STS Mesocycle 2, Disc 16 (Chest, Shoulders & Triceps)

Monday:
AM: TAUGHT Cardio class
PM: STS Mesocycle 2, Disc 17 (Legs) followed by four sets of 15 barbell hip thrusts (50 lb. barbell this week)

Tuesday:
Patrick Goudeau's Step Up (fun choreography but by the end my brain was fried!)

Wednesday:
STS Mesocycle 2, Disc 18 (Back & Biceps)

Yesterday:
The Firm: The Hare

(This workout always puts me in a good mood!)

Today:
April Plank Pilates Reformer Workout #35: Back to the Basics (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd72FUEKPWw)

One of my Facebook fitness friends is a big fan of April's reformer workouts, so I decided to give it a try. It was a good workout, although parts of it moved a little slowly for me (but I did appreciate her instruction, which was excellent). Also, she kept referring to the colors of her springs (my reformer only has three cords of equal resistance) which made it a little hard to follow. That said, I did enjoy it and it made me realize I miss my reformer! I've been dabbling with my reformer the past few weeks (did one of June Kahn's DVDs last week), and want to incorporate it more.

Back in a few with personals...
