Paine, sometimes I've wrapped super-large things in a cheap Christmas tablecloth from the dollar store.

Back to post my workouts….
~Taught Essentrics on zoom
~Jessica’s Fusion Cardio
~MR Unplugged 1909
~MFML: Above the Knee & Below the Navel

Beth - Yes I think we do have a similar sense of humour!

I agree that Miranda talks in absolutes & makes some pretty wild claims at times. Great idea to use a table cloth to wrap a big gift.

Margot - Nice save with the brownie truffles! Ice Queen is the first in Alice’s zoom series from earlier this year.

Waves to all!

Today I did Day 1 and Day 2 from the Barre Fitness (YT) workout challenge. I'm not necessarily planning to do the whole challenge, but it appealed today.

I also did these three Art in Motion (slings) practices:

Hello!

Today's Workout: The Upper Focus routine from Jessica Smith's Boost Metabolism + Muscle.

Margot: Your story about the brownies made me laugh!

Paine: When my niece was a young girl I gave her the Christmas Toys R Us catalog and suggested she circle the items she liked. Well, she circled about three quarters of the items on every page!

That's so cute that the 3 year old loves trash trucks.

Waving to all!

Good morning all and Merry Christmas Eve Eve! Yesterday featured:

~ LWR Advent Calendar Day 10, 10 Minute Leg & Thigh Workout
~ YWK 15 Minute Morning Yin
~ 4,716 steps

I really liked the Lucy, it's about 12 minutes of standing barre type intervals. It felt like a nice bone healthy hip strengthener and it was also good for practicing balance.

Everyone, good luck with any holiday hustling and bustling you need to wrap up today!

Paine · 12-23-21, 11:33 AM

Flow and Yin Yoga with Donna Helm-Yost (Yin Yoga practice, 30 minutes)

Beth, that is an excellent idea about wrapping a large gift in a tablecloth! I never thought about doing that but I'll likely do that at some point.

I'm waving to everyone!

Paine, the dollar store can solve a lot of problems.

If you celebrate Christmas Eve Eve (I do!), wishing you a happy day.

Margot · 12-23-21, 03:22 PM

Hi everyone!

Today's workouts:
- Bellyfit Alchemista Strength of Vessel.

Alice did some nice core work sitting on a chair.
- Karin's PF Adductor practice (40 min)
- BSS Arm Blast & Posture Boost with Sahra on the beach
- MFML Adam's Daily Practice for your Feet (9 min)

Paine - Your grandsons are going to be so excited with their gifts. Isn't it funny how some toys stand the test of time. I had both Lego and a Slinky when I was little. I still think though that my hula hoop and stilts were my most favourite things of all.

Sandra - I had to chuckle at your niece wanting so many things from the Toys R Us catalogue. I guess she didn't make it any easier to you to choose which she'd like the best.

Beth - Thank you for the links to the AOM videos. Sometimes, I find the pace a bit slow but I do think it's good for me to slow down and really tune into what's going in my body.

Waves to all and a happy Christmas Eve Eve from me too.

I really enjoyed this Slings practice today from AoM; I would say that I "felt" it more than some of the others, even though it's shorter:

Margot, you are right about going slower! I thought the slow seated lateral stretch in the above practice felt really good.
