I probably mentioned this before, but I would have forgotten about "September" (the song), if it hadn't been played endlessly by one of the in-house bands on the cruise we took back in 2018.
cyana, hope you get to actually enjoy some of your favorite month! Sandra, sounds like it was a good idea to use your PTO today, especially since even having the common cold these days can freak out other people. Pam, sounds like you had a great time visiting family! Glad your PT was able to give you a (hopefully correct) diagnosis. Since I think I have a touch of "dead butt" myself, I'd be interested in the specific exercises you are doing for that. Carolyn, thanks for checking out my website! I'm using Google Sites, which is pretty basic but which lets me customize just enough. How are you doing being back on campus? I still feel like I'm in this weird limbo with working on campus 3 days/week and remote 2 days/week.

Pat, I heard the news and was thinking about SSS too. Hope you and yours are okay!
Margot, great to see you back! Life definitely gets in the way sometimes, but we're always glad to have people join/rejoin. I'm honored that you have been able to stick with yoga via my channel! I feel bad that I haven't been able to film more lately but my "real" job keeps getting in the way. If there's anything special you want to see me do there, let me know. Since I have been back in my office, I have noticed that even after sitting in my office chair for short periods, my left side/low back (QL area) begins to ache. My office chair is actually nicer than my chair at home, and I've tried to be as ergonomic as possible, including lumbar support, and I'm looking to get a seat pad as well. In the meantime, any other ideas? I feel like I'm sitting evenly and upright, but is there something I could be doing wrong without realizing it?

Paine, what's weird is that my work chair wasn't causing me the same issues before. I did recently try making some adjustments to make things more ergonomic, but maybe I tipped things in the wrong direction! It's hard because there are several things about my desk setup at work (keyboard position, leg room) that aren't ideal but that I have minimal ability to change.
Aww, Garrie, how sweet to hear that you love living with your SO! I felt that way when me and my now-DH moved in together. I liked hearing about all of your balls, haha. Do you actually own any of the Mitch Gaylord workouts? I used to and would use my 4# weighted ball. He was actually too tough for me! Keep us posted on your KB workouts; I'm still trying to continue more KBs myself, even if it's just adding in moves rather than a formal workout.

Hello mat mavens!
My PT said I should hold off a bit on weight bearing cardio for a while & you all know how I love my cardio! If I walk I should keep it shorter, flat, & use walking poles for now. He also suggested swimming or cycling. So I decided to give DH’s recumbent bike a try. He has had it for quite a while & loves it, uses it more in winter. I am looking at doing more floor work for toning. Today’s offerings: ~30 min program on DH’s recumbent stationary bike ~PT exercises ~B3: 10 min upper body ~Your Pilates Physio: Height Increase practice - I have a 30 day free trial to this site. It’s good, but a bit dry. TBH, I generally find Pilates a bit dry although I know it’s good for me. ~MELT: Upper body focus Welcome back Margo! I’m glad your DH is doing well, that must have been very scary! I have done one of Heather’s new short BG workouts & enjoyed it. Beth - As someone who doesn’t do well sitting for any length of time I don’t have any suggestions about your chair issues. Here are two links, very similar to my PT exercises: Internal hip rotation: https://youtu.be/MjY6eacPf0U Clamshell: https://youtu.be/DonD0WXgK44 I’m using a resistance loop around my thighs & knees are only slightly bent, not 90 degrees. At the 1 min 20 sec mark, he stresses hip position which makes a huge difference. Top hip must stay slightly in front of the bottom hip, especially when you lift your knee, to be most effective. ETA I’m doing 3 sets of 5 reps of each. I will increase 5 reps every week until I’m doing 3 sets of 20 reps. And only on my affected side. Pat - I’m so glad you came through the storm okay! Garrie - I’m so happy it’s worked out well for you & your SO! Carolyn - I’m so sorry about Zippy. Waves to Paine, Cyana, & all.
