Hi Everyone,
Yesterday I took a short walk w/ my Golden. The weather was looking a bit iffy, so I cut it short. We didn't run into the "Family" this time. My Golden is pretty non-reactive to most dogs, but there are a few in our neighborhood that set her off - I guess there is some doggie body language going on that I don't understand. One dog seems to "stalk" her, so she does get upset when she sees him, understandably! Today's workouts were: Stephanie Huckabee - Power Fit Harmony - Upper Body - this was a nice substitute for what was on the WS 1.0 rotation - which was upper body. I am thinking of repeating the WS 1.0 rotation in May by just plugging in whatever instructor I want that fits the workout prescription of the day. It would be a good way to make use of my multitude of DVDs that are often pushed to the side in favor or You Tube or streaming. I also did: Jessica Valent - 10 min Upper Body - this was all body weight Jessica Valent - Hip Pain Routine - this one has just about everything I need - bridge work, some extension, side lying leg work, some hamstring/sciatic glide exercises. Carol - I'm ok with less than stellar production if the workout is good....it looks like a nice, varied set. I don't blame you for taking a rest day yesterday! Linda - thanks, my Lab is up there in years plus she has some health problems from less than ideal care in her youth. We got her from a rescue and she had lyme disease and other illnesses that could have been prevented. It is a combo of her age, arthritis and her Lyme that has affected her. She still likes to eat though and hangs out w/ us. Waves, Christine, Brenda and Dana! Donna |

Good morning!
Team Body Project Standing Low Impact Beginner Workout - 31min. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBV0...ist=LL&index=1 WH Cardio, Strength & Pilates Blast - 26min. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skp1BxYwaZU&t=331s TBP beginner workout was actually quite good and not for absolute beginners either, so I felt somewhat out of breath during some moves. I'll have to look into some more of their workouts because I enjoyed this one. The guy still talked a lot, but at 8am it wasn't as irritating to me as it was at 5am. Workout Hotel workout was excellent. As usual, Karen packed a lot into 26 minutes. Efficient, creative and a very enjoyable workout. Her workouts are very much my style. Once I cancel 2 of my other streaming subscriptions at the end of this year, I will be signing up for WH. Beautiful day here today. Sunny and high in the 50s but back up to lower 80s tomorrow. Still, our sunset is now at almost 8pm and I'm beginning to feel the effects of reverse SAD. Too much sun and daylight for me. I'm hoping I'm getting my workout groove back, and I'm looking forward to doing Ellen on Sunday. Waves to all!

Dana Thanks definitely doing with no regrets!
Donna that's awful to hear your dog feels stalked And your plan sounds great... flexibility with guidance! That's basically what I'm doing. Today was yard maintenance but I managed to get my workout done first. I did mobility, get up practice and push pull swing challenge day #11. Hope you all have a wonderful evening

Hi Everyone,
This morning was scheduled to be lower body, so I did: Caroline Jordan - Hip, Butt and Thighs Mini Loop Band - this was very PT inspired. You use the mini loop band around your knees or ankles for a variety of exercises: Monster Walks Squat Deadlift A step back type move You repeat that standing series 4X, then you go to the floor for Bridges Bridges w/ outer thigh Fire Hydrants Clamshells You repeat that series 3X and then do a bridge finisher this would be a great routine to do regularly to help wake up your glutes and hips that get so sleepy from all the sitting we do. I was thinking that I would keep a mini loop band in my office and do a circuit of these exercises periodically throughout the day. I also do a Yoga w/ Bird practice, I think she is doing a morning/evening yoga challenge for May. Her stuff is easy to fit in - this morning's was only 5 minutes. Hope everyone has a good Saturday- will be walking later once the wind dies down. Donna |
