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. I love hearing about WS1 and WS3...at some point, I want to go back to WS1 and work my way through to WS2 and then WS3. What I love about Jessica's rotations is the variety - it is not the same old, same old very day. Hope everyone has a good day! Donna |

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. Liz - Lucy has a You Tube channel she does mainly body weight cardio circuit type workouts. No music which is both good and bad - good b/c you can play your own, but bad if you don't feel like doing that. She posted a cute walking video for today that I may try to get in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJSQ0Lv5P9s&t=374s Sherry - LOL, my DH's idea of decluttering is also to move stuff to somewhere else in the house! Pam - good plan! I almost started Fusion February this morning, but I decided at the last minute to go w/ Ellen. Waves, wishiwasinhawaii I like rotations for the ease of picking a workout to do, but then I start to feel rebellious... LOL! Hope everyone has a good day - 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 Essentrics Aging Backwards Pain Relief episode last night after work. wishiwasinhawaii - it has been snowing here for days as well - but not the heavy snow you are getting - more of this constant, gentle snow...oh, Lucy doesn't have another channel (not that I know of anyway!) I found the mountain walk on her regular channel. I really do like her stuff for a change of pace.... nice work, Pam - Have A Ball is a fun workout! Waves, Liz and Sherry - Donna |
