Hi Everyone,
Yesterday I got a dog walk in - but nothing else additional. I am getting lazy!! Today, so far: Ellen - Five Star Fusion. Not much to say about it other than I enjoyed it as I do with most of Ellen's workouts! I am planning on going back to Improved Health tomorrow and starting her 25 day program from Day # 1 and mixing in some of her cardio. On the off days I'll add in Pilates and/or Ellen, etc. Carol - Nothing wrong with the "old lady" stuff - I think being consistent matters more than anything else and if the workouts cause dread or injury or extreme soreness you are not likely to be consistent. Maybe do Jessica's program a little at a time - like maybe once or twice a week. No need to follow the schedule - exactly as written - even though it is very hard for me NOT to do that! I'm breaking myself of it. LOL! Dana - that is great about the dr. My PCP left the practice I was going to. I hate the office so I'm going to leave as well, but it is so hard to find a good PCP. I am due to go in December so I will have to get on finding someone since it can take up to 6 months to get an appointment. Waves, Christine! And Buffmama! Happy Friday! Donna |

Good morning,
Prevention Total Body Tone This one was 23 minutes, including a short stretch at the end. It was half standing, half floor work. The standing moves were either 4 limb, or just upper body. It moved at a very fast past but I went at my own speed. Once again, the instructor never stopped talking. I don't think I can deal with that much longer. I liked the floor work, it reminded me of Pilates. Overall it was okay. Carol, I think what Donna said was perfect. I'm not even interested in doing anything intense anymore. If what I like is considered "old lady" then we're in the same club. Prayers you don't get any flooding! Dana, I'm glad you like your new PCP! Donna, you're not getting lazy! Nothing wrong with just a dog walk once in a while. You're one of the most consistent people I know with exercise.

Friday's workouts were
Outdoor Walk - 30 minutes Improved Health - 20 Minute All-in-One Workout - 24 minutes & Stronger Core on the Floor - Level Four - 14 minutes Both of these were new to me. The All-in-One Workout was set up with a 5 minute warmup, 10 minutes of one minute intervals alternating fast walking, jogging or running (your choice) with one minute strength intervals with dumbbells. This was topped off with a 5 minute cooldown and a 4 minute stretch. The strength intervals were generally compound moves involving balance. I don't know if you would call what I was doing jogging or running, but I was definitely sparkling when I finished. The Core Workout was another in Jules' core series and was the toughest one yet. It was not Cathe tough, but it was a good challenge. Jules finished with a 75 second plank and a few Russian twists. We had another 1 to 2 inches of rain this afternoon. We literally had fish swimming down one of our main streets from a playa lake overflowing. Supposedly there's another round on the way for later tonight and good chances of rain the next couple of days as well. Streets are closed all over town. I've never seen anything like it. It's hard out here to turn up your nose at rain chances, but I am almost there. Christine - You're right. My joints hurt enough without me working out hard. My workout today wasn't exactly easy, but it was do-able and fun. Lately the stuff I've done from Jessica just hasn't been very fun for me. Donna - It's just hard for me to admit that I can't workout at the level that I used to. I think Jessica Valant had a podcast on that and I obviously need to go back and listen to it again. Happy weekend! Carol |
