Helen, I saw on your other check in you can't see the guy in Sydney till June?!?! That sucks! That is so much thinking on your part just to get a workout done. I don't think I would have the patience for it long term.
Buff, I'm glad the Vanicream is helpful in some way. I don't use it very often anymore, I use the Aveeno if I'm really itchy. Sandy, the cold is sort of disincentivizing (did I just make up a word?) but for me the worst is the icy spots. Although I have to be careful with Cyric so we wouldn't be doing long walks in this cold snap anyway. We only went 1.2 mi this morning but I was way overdressed. Sunshine and no wind made the Cuddle Dud thermal underwear pants overkill and so was the winter coat even though the real feel was -18. We spent the wknd with my father-in-law. Thankfully he has recovered and you wouldn't even know he had covid. As usual I was a complete slug while there. It was even colder up there but I did get out Saturday to the thrift store and then picked up pizza for supper. Got family sized pizzas from Papa Murphy's and hubby and I were so hungry there was only 1 1/2 pieces left of ours! Eating is so irregular there bc he never cooks so if I want to cook I have to bring all the ingredients or make smthg ahead of time to just bake. This morning after our walk I did day 14 of Lucy's Fitness Advent calendar. I think I am done with this. She and the workouts just don't do much for me. Many things I would rather do so even though there's only 10 days of the challenge left I am giving it up. Then I did 2.122 mi on the treadmill for wk2 day2 of the 10k trainer. I'm struggling with the Zombies Run app bc an Android update messed up one of the features. My phone is two updates behind the one that fixes it so I have no clue when mine will work right. The app tells you a story of a mission you're on with breaks in btwn where your music of choice plays. The update broke the ability for the music to play so now I hear story then silence then story, etc. I am finding I can't stay focused bc in the silence my mind wanders and I can't remember/track what's going on in the mission. I guess I'll have to play the stereo and keep the remote on the treadmill to adjust the volume. Not sure what I'll do when I can run outside. I should have done the next day of Fightmaster Yoga but all I wanted was a shower and food to silence my growling stomach. I may do the yoga tonight while our chili simmers. My knee has been hurting again today since before I worked out. I hadn't worked out since Thu, hadn't shoveled since Fri and was a bum over the wknd. I'm wort of wondering if it isn't from all the slipping on ice. I haven't fallen so far this year but have slipped so many times.

Ditto! Our real feel was -38 when I got up, actual temp -18. I took Cyric out in the backyard quickly to do his business at 7 then went back to bed for a while. We will attempt a very short walk before supper. He really won't do more than wet without a walk unless it's really been a while. We were able to walk a mile yesterday morning but have only been out for bathroom breaks since then.

[QUOTE=SandyO;2912045 I have been trying to do the workouts as posted, but many push ups will be from the knees and maybe the burpees step out and in. We'll see. The shoulder back day really did a number on my lower back.
Sandy O[/QUOTE] I do my best but know I have to modify or risk an achy back and sore neck. Today I did DL with 15s, pretty low. But we pre-loaded and DLs were in every third triset. I did sub SLDL for reg DL in one exercise. And squats on my toes - why? Just why? Doesn't that just move it more to the quads anyway?! Yeah, just no for me. And those hamstring bridges and marches from other days? Another move that can get my back. I brought my feet in but less so than for a regular bridge. No guilt here, I need to work the intended muscle.
