Hi Everyone,
Yesterday I added on Jessica V's new Pilates workout - I did it from the Unlimited Site rather than You Tube, but I think it is the same workout! I also did her sciatica stretch routine in the evening. With my SI joint bugging me, the prolonged sitting is not great so the stretch for sciatica felt good. Jessica seems to know what she is doing when it comes to SI joint issues as I think she suffers from them as well. Interestingly, the population most likely to suffer from SI joint dysfunction is young and middle aged women. I think a factor is hormones that make the joints looser....and less stable.
Today it was back to Pahla!
Pahla B - Walk off the Weight Day - 5 Met Con style. I really liked this one!! It was 30 seconds cardio, 90 seconds strength. It seems odd that I would enjoy this protocol so much b/c like Pahla, I'm a cardio girl. But, I really enjoyed the longer strength interval to focus on form and really get into the mind/body connection - that Pahla talks about in this video. It was not super sweaty and I hardly got any steps, but it was still a good one for today!
Yoga w/ Adriene - Breath - Day 4 - Listen - this was a little gentler than the day before.
Summer Breeze, I agree w/ Gypsy Rose - our culture does not handle grief well - we expect everyone to take a couple of days, gather themselves and move on as if nothing happened. And that is not how it works and it isn't healthy for our mind or body. So...please feel free to share whatever you need to share here....I know everyone is different in what they feel is right for them - so, of course if you don't want to share, that is ok, too. But we are here for you.
Gypsy Rose -nice walk - I am thinking of adding one in today - but indoors - I may do half of a Walking Online Workout - I paid for a month to use the holiday walks but she has some other nice options as well. So I may do about 15 min today as a break from sitting.
Pat - wow, good job on the gym! I have to get back to LWR as well. Maybe after Pahla's challenge which I'm enjoying - she is somewhat similar to LWR but she talks way more, LOL! And I think LWR is a tad bit harder even though she doesn't use weights.
Hope everyone has a good day!!
Donna
