Sandra, glad to see you getting in walks again! I meant to say a few days ago that I'm always amused when you go through one of your "weeding out" phases. How many DVDs do you think you are down to now?
Garrie, I did see on FB about the FitBit--and also that you filmed a new step routine. Mmm...pumpkin! cyana, I feel for you with your hectic schedule!!! It seems like it's always your busy time. I'm feeling reluctant to let the weekend go...but I should think of Anny, who is already halfway through Monday.

Hello Mat Mavens & thank you for the warm welcome back!
Thought I’d jump right in and post my week, I’m still into variety as you can see. I’m trying to do more strength work including KBs. My step goal is 10,000, but this week was skinny as we were shrouded in smoke from the west coast fires. Thankfully we finally have blue skies & I hope that means the fires are abating. The level 3 Essentrics training was a lot of work, much more so than levels 1&2, lots of anatomy to learn. I’m starting on level 4 soon and that should be a bit easier. Monday: ~Pahla B’s Bounce & Tone - This is my first Pahla workout aside from the stability ball stretch I did a few weeks ago. My goodness she talks non stop! ~20 min gliding ~WOW: 20 min walk set in front of a field of sunflowers - the music was good & no talk was refreshing! ~ETV: Sasha’s Live Cardio Workout ~Yamuna’s hip/ham/ foot stretch - this is a new fave! https://www.facebook.com/10400945501...39686047384959 ~closing in on 8000 steps, don’t think I’ll make 10 today Tuesday: ~Essentrics class on zoom ~WOW: 20 min Bon Jovi Arm Burner - This was not really an arm burner TBH, but it sure was a lot of fun. ~10 Minute Standing Yoga Stretch & Flow (YT) ~8300 steps Wednesday: ~neighbourhood walk....yay, so nice to be outside! ~20 min rebounding ~Headstand practice & Yamuna’s stretch ~12,000 steps Thursday: ~Taught Essentrics - first time indoors, only 2 students so lots of room to distance ~30 min rebounding ~Yamuna’s stretch ~8500 steps Friday: ~60 min ball Pilates class on zoom ~Barlates Kettlebell HIIT ~Neighborhood walk ~WOW: 30 min Killer Queen walk - lots of good music! ~Forward bends & hip openers on my own.... ~about to break through 12,000 steps Saturday: ~Trail walk with DH ~25 min rebounding ~Slow Flow yoga class on google drive - I had a 10 class card at the hot yoga studio in Victoria and they converted it to to $. So I bought an on demand class card & still have $ left for another. This class was lovely, just what I needed, & made me realize I need more yoga in my life! ~Steps....approaching 10,000 Sunday: ~7 km trail walk - blue skies today ~ePilates: Barre Blend ~MFML: Wrist Free Flow - I love this one, all standing with a circular flow ~headstand & Yamuna’s stretch ~steps....closing in on 11,000 Beth - How are things at your work? Are you working on campus or remotely? Sandra - Did you have a lot of smoky days from the fires? I did a huge dvd purge last year. I still have a sizeable collection, but I don’t seem to use dvds much these days. Garrie - I’ve seen your step workouts on FB, you are amazing! Paine - Are you settled into life in CA? I hope the fires weren’t close to your neck of the woods! My headstand bench is fun, you just pop yourself up effortlessly. I can’t say I’ve gotten any huge benefits from it other than the fun factor & an endorphin rush. Cyana - I’m happy to hear you are alive & well and weren’t abducted by aliens! Waving to all!

Pam, I'm both. Currently I am on campus 1 day/week (Thursdays) and remote the other days; we have moved to an all-teletherapy format for fall. The current schedule is supposed to got through Oct 2nd, but I'm guessing that I'm likely to be doing the 1/4 thing through the end of the semester.
I meant to tell you that after we talked on FB last week, I jumped back into kettlebells--and tweaked my back! It was my own fault for pushing too hard and ignoring the warning bells. Luckily, I felt fine after a few days of stretching and I even did a little kettlebell work today (definitely being more mindful and careful this time).

Thank you Anny, and thanks for your comment! It's good to know the cheap headphones I bought are working. I've also discovered that adding additional overhead light doesn't really help--even if there is not a lot of natural light that day (I filmed late afternoon yesterday) relying mainly on that seems better.
Thanks Paine! I went through a lot of names in my head before I came up with that one. Now I have to decide on some of the poses I want to break down--I am tempted to start with down dog, but I already did that for a longer video, so I'm not sure. Btw, if you happen to have multiple blocks (like, 6!), you can do a supported headstand similar to the bench--I think I have a picture of that in my VF photos. Happy Monday!

cyana, agreed about that! When I am dragging after work and not wanting to exercise, I've encouraged DH to remind me to do something.

Pam, you put the idea in my head to try my KBs again, but it was my own stupid fault not to be more careful! I am lucky I didn't do more damage. I have tried to do research on lighting & sound for filming at home; luckily there are a lot of resources out there. Most of what I have read suggests that the sound is more important, as people are more tolerant of video issues that aren't so great.
The campus photographer caught some fun photos of me teaching yoga last week--in some I look like I am leading a revival meeting, haha. https://photos.geneseo.edu/StudentLi...a-on-the-Green
