Hi Everyone,
I finished Pahla's Challenge today! I did Day 31 which was a low impact cardio routine - 30 sec walk, 30 sec low impact, 30 sec walk, 30 sec balance and I went back and did Day 17 (?) which was walking and stretching. So, yay, I actually finished a rotation! LOL! I also did Jessica Valent's Scoliosis routine which always make my back feel better - the twisting and side bending seem to be key for me. I may do something else today - it is snowing here and I do have a lot of cooking and cleaning and laundry to do....but I may squeeze in something gentle. Pahla released the outline for this week's workouts and they look very similar to what we have been doing with this challenge, and I will probably do them either sequentially or somehow throughout the month. Oh - yesterday DD and I went for our long walk - it was chilly but not windy so definitely bearable. And, Lucy Wyndham Read has a new challenge - it is 7 days like Pahla's so..maybe alternating weeks?? https://www.lwrfitness.com/fitness-challenge/ I may take February off from a structured plan...but who knows what i will wake up in the mood to do tomorrow. Christina - nice work this week - sorry about the fibro and depression episode, I'm glad you are feeling better, though. Pat - that is a great story about the pelican!! My DD is very into animals and such and before COVID she was looking into volunteering at the nature center...but then COVID hit and nature center is closed to the public right now. Summer Breeze - those Jessica WS3 workout are no joke. I just haven't been into pushing myself very hard lately and right now even Jessica's stuff seems to hard for me to deal with... Waves, Rose!

Hi Everyone,
Today I went with what I was in the mood for: Ellen - Super Fast Body Blast (Ellen posts a weekly schedule on her paid site and this was up for today...) Blessful Body - Upper Body Flow - Ky (from Blessful Body) offered another special of $1 for 21 days, so I decided to go for it. I feel somewhat guilty taking advantage of these b/c I really don't necessarily want to pay the $19.99 per month once the 21 days are up - but I guess it makes sense for her offer it...It isn't like I don't enjoy her workouts - I do - I am just trying to cut back on a lot of subscriptions b/c there are only so many hours in the day to fit everything in and I hate paying for stuff I don't use. I do like Blessful Body, overall though, it is more of a fusion program than classical Pilates - she mixes in Pilates, Yoga and recently, some barre and light HIIT. I am tired from the weekend - Saturday was our long walk which I'm pretty used to doing now, but Sunday was a long day on my feet cooking. I don't know what got into me.. LOL! But at least there is a lot of food prepped for the week ahead so that is good. This month I'd like to continue to focus on getting enough water in and eating better - in terms of less mindless snacking at work. Lucy Wyndham Read posted a cute walking video for today that I may try to get in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJSQ0Lv5P9s&t=374s Pat - we got a few inches, nothing terrible - it is supposed to snow a little more today, but we shall see what happens. I hear NYC is getting a ton of snow.... For this month I'd like to do Pahla's 7 workouts and then Lucy's 7 plus whatever else I feel like doing - that seems pretty doable. I do like having a plan sometimes, but other times I just like to do what I'm in the mood for. Donna |

Hi Everyone,
It has been snowing here on and off for three days now - fortunately, it is not heavy snow - I'd say, overall, over these three days we got a total of 6 inches, but it is getting tiresome to see the gray skies....but... it is February. I decided to finish up Lucy's Advent challenge - https://www.lwrfitness.com/fitness-advent-calendar/ I had left off at Day 18, so that is what I did today! It was a 30 minute workout - walking and body weight toning. I enjoyed it for a change of pace. I also still have to fit in Day 4 - along with Days 19-24, I remember I skipped that one b/c it was a longer workout. I'm not sure if I will do these as main workouts for the day or shorter ones to add on in the afternoons - but...we shall see. It was a nice change of pace though! I also did: Blessful Body - Chest Expanding Backbend Prep - this was not as scary as it sounds. Mainly upper back/chest and hip opening exercises. Yesterday for extras I did: Lucy's walk up the mountain, it was really cute and fun to do and short! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJSQ0Lv5P9s I also did Essentric's Aging Backwards Pain Relief episode last night after work. Summer Breeze - I do workout first thing, before work. I don't eat before I workout but I do have a cup of coffee and water... I eat later in the morning after my workout, shower, etc. I am glad you enjoyed Pahla. I also go faster than her sometimes, but sometimes I find her pace to be just right No outdoor walking here either -too icy/snowy. Pat - Glad your storm was not so bad.... Rose - hope all is well or at least getting better. Waves, Christina! I have been giving some thought to an MR/Leslie/CS plan...will have to think more on it. Hope everyone has a good day! Donna |
