Happy New Year!!!

This morning's workouts were:

Pahla B - Day # 1 of her new weight loss series. I am not sure if I'm going to follow this or not, I haven't completely decided - but I did need a touch of cardio this morning and Pahla's routine was one of her Power Walks - meaning she alternates a walking/marching exercise w/ a low impact cardio exercise. Today's intervals were 30 seconds each. Nothing really different from Pahla - but it was a nice way to get moving.

Jessica Valent Pilates - 50 Min Intermediate Pilates Workout - Jessica V will be making it into my plans for this month - if not full time, at least part time. Although this was a longer workout, I still enjoyed it. It is the longer version of the workout she had posted on her You Tube channel. I like the way she taught it in a way that any level could participate and generally speaking, her workouts always leave me feeling better than when I started.

I do plan to get some yoga in today. Adriene's challenge starts tomorrow w/ a long practice - I may do it b/c DD and i plan to take a long walk tomorrow- so a yoga/cardio day may be nice.

I am happy to see that Jessica V is including some guest instructors!! Looking forward to trying Rebekah Rothstein's workout later this month.

It is dreary today so other than doing a few house chores I will probably just sit around, relax, read and watch more TZ...

Hope everyone has a good day!

Happy New Year!

I was working yesterday and it was busier than it really should have been, so I forgot to post, but I did 360 Abs. Today was Dynamic Stretch.

My knee is back to normal now, so I guess it was just tendonitis. I'm still staying away from deep squats though and will see how it goes.

It's sunny here so far, but it's supposed to rain later. I'm going to go for a walk in a bit. I don't think most people are awake yet, lol!

Donna, What is TZ?

Waves to all!

wishiwasinhawaii - TZ = Twilight Zone - I always watch in New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

Very dreary here today - glad your knee is feeling better!

Yesterday I did the Pilates and Yoga Standing workout. The balance was challenging. I really liked it, I can see it improving my balance and flexibility.

I think the floor stretch from the Stretch dvd is a keeper, I think it worked out most of the soreness in my neck. Maybe it was that twisty shoulder move, lol. I've been struggling with a sore neck for the past month, and it was slowly getting better. But I noticed a big improvement today.

Today I felt like You Tube, so it was the MFP Fall into Fitness 30 Minute Total Body Strength Training Workout. I liked this one because it was mostly single moves, only upper or lower body, no combinations. Also, Jessica used her lower weights for overhead moves. And no ab moves on the floor. A winner all around!

Pam, 360 Abs is a favorite of mine, I'll have to do it again. Since my workout mode has changed some with age, I'm curious if I now think it's too fast.

wishiwasinhawaii, I'm glad your knee is better. It's sunny here, but cold for us. Highs in the low 60's, and lows in the mid 30's.

Donna, I don't think TZ has anything on 2020, lol. I'm glad to see the new thread, so I can look at 2021!

Hi Ladies,

Happy New Year to you all!

Today I continued with Jessica's WS Day 6 (Dynamic Stretch.) I added to this Yoga Fusion Fix (Stress Relief and Relaxation) as well as Total Stretch (Total Stretch.)

It was wonderful to focus on stretching today and it was much needed!
