Demeris:
Speaking of being mechanically challenged, a couple days ago when I was putting together a stew, I tried out a brand new food chopper for cubing the potatoes. My husband walked in from the grocery, took one look, and figured out that I had the chopper upside down! Blonde moment. We both had a good laught about it.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu . . . I'm really, really bad at it so far, but am determined to improve!

I’m inspired reading your posts! I’m also impressed by your skills and courage to try new things. The good old comfort zone is so hard to leave, but I know that it feels good to take the risk and try something new.

Hmmm that sounds interesting. I find the gun range to be very cathartic but I don't get there often.

I have been using bands for strength lately. I never liked bands before but they are working well for me now.

Sounds like fun. I think there is an axe throwing place near me. I should check it out. As part of my Tai Chi training I have started push hands.

I am considering taking up "Rucking" which is basically walking with a weighted pack. https://www.goruck.com/rucking-101
In fact I was going to post a new thread on VF to ask if anyone else does this.
Apparently there Rucking clubs and events-races, etc. wearing the rucksack.

I learned about it in June just before I had foot surgery so I obviously had to put it on the back burner. I am now considering taking it up. I tried to fit my backpack with a 10 pound plate but it didn't sit correctly (high up on the back) They sell these expensive rucksacks with pockets to place rectangular plates that sit high and close to the body. Very expensive but they are having a sale on the rucksacks this weekend. I am considering asking DH to get me one for the holidays because I honestly can't think of anything else. A 10 pound plate costs $55 though!

I have been using bands a lot lately too. I like them especially for the lower body. I have mostly been using them with Linda Woolridge's workouts.
