Hello Watulans!
Since I last checked in, I've done a gym workout, Chris Dorner Step (2000s), and CL #9 Senior Fit. I thought the senior one would offer some different options and exercises and it did. I used heavier weight and the new long band. It was a nice change of pace. It's inspiring to see some of the folks in the very full class pushing through and Cathe was encouraging without being condescending IMHO. I liked that there were some balance challenges that I wish she would include more in her "regular" classes, since balance is critical at all ages! Chris Dorner step is always fun to me at least. Oh, no snow here! Northern peeps, we don't get much snow, but we get that cold bone chilling mixed rain/sleet which IMHO is worse. When we do get snow, it doesn't tend to happen until February. Kate, I'm actually glad to read your comments about All About Legs! You are my Weights Queen and if you thought it was tough, I don't feel like such a wimp! I usually get DOMS around 2 days after a workout, and yes, that's definitely the case for this one! Yikes!! I'm also a big Amy Dixon fan. I haven't done any of the BB in a while, but probably should get some more HiiT in my routine. horusosiris, I was doing some HiiT on the cardio machines at the gym but haven't done it lately. I guess I get a little lazy since I really just want the machines to be as painless as possible since I'm not a big fan of them. I need a swift kick in the butt. Waves to all!

Appreciate your kindness and condolences. I’m glad I was able to be there for my husband Monday and Tuesday for services. It was tough mentally and physically. I’m not very good in the car. I actually had to ride in the backseat. The drive was several hours. They have additional services today and tomorrow. She was a cloistered nun for 25 years. So they are doing a special wake and mass at the monastery and then she will be buried with the other nuns. The ride is over five hours and then I would have lots of difficulty walking to the burial site, etc. So we all agreed it was better for me to stay home. And my daughter is traveling with my husband today. I’m glad she can go but I feel terrible that I can’t be there. He’s always been by my side for everything.
Cataddict… my physical therapist does give me handouts to follow at home. It’s just tough to realize that I have so far to go and therapy will be ending. I completely understand. I didn’t expect to have services for a full year. Plus the cost is crazy. She has taught me the basics and I just need to follow through. i’m glad your new kitties are adjusting well. Bee… sorry to hear your pain is continuing. Maybe physical therapy will get you started in the right direction. It’s so tough to scale back and not be as intense when you’re used to exercising daily. Horusosiris…. you have many talents! Quite impressive! I played the violin up until eighth grade. My sister continued through college. And my niece plays the viola. She just had her first college Christmas concert. My daughter played piano at a very young age and was quite good at it. But decided to quit of course. Kate… i’ve started doing five minute meditations with my peloton app. Baby steps. I know it could be really good for me. I’ve been doing my usual 20 to 30 minutes of cycling. I’ve actually been using the peloton app for some light weight upper body 10 minute classes. Then beginner core classes. Followed by some stretching. They have lots of holiday music in their classes these days. Lifts my mood! Waving to the rest of the gang and I hope you are all doing well. |

You and me both. Big storm coming but my part of the state is only supposed to get 1.5 inches.
