Off today. Yesterday, 45 minutes on the Stairmaster and 15 minutes of yoga. While on the Stairmaster I watched a documentary called "Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony." It was great!

ok, now, 20 minutes on treadmill at 3 miles an hour, 45 minutes on weights: did 100 crunches combined on 3 ab machines, did arms and legs tired but feel like I accomplished...

Namaste Everyone!
I'm the latest recruit to the yoga phenomena, use to think it was a bit too girly to be of any real use (no offence my dear femmes :)) But O.M.G I've seen the light! And now it's a regular morning exercise. For those of you (butches & femmes included) yet to be convert I've posted below a YouTube video from a teacher who I think ROCKS and has a wide selection of videos with a great backdrop that beginners to experts can enjoy from the comfort of their homes.

Thank you cyberstud for this info :) I do love yoga alsoaand have been looking for a new challenge. I really cant believe the difference in my muscle tone already...mostly in my upper back and shoulders.
So....with the accident and all Ive been precluded from working out...and in two days I definitely feel the difference. Since I was able to mow the lawn yesterday, I think I will be able to get a workout it (finally!) tonight. After I go clean with my mother....which counts as exercise. Thats all that woman does for exercise and shes skinny as a rail! |

Ive also come up with what I call "chair yoga" for times Im stationary (say because of work) and to help my client who isnt terribly ambulatory. It truly is an exercise anyone can do! Just as fyi Im fairly sure yoga shows can be found streaming online but Im especially fond of the Namaste dvds. Good variety great scenery and the narrators voice is sooo soothing! Great way to start the day and release tension. :) |
Today I did 30 minutes on the stair master while watching a re-run of Judge Judy. I find if I'm exercising very intensely my television standards go way down which is nice because it makes shows more tolerable. Then I did 30 minutes of floor exercises and weight lifting. The pixie-powerful Asian woman I so often end up working out with offered me her free weights when she was done. I said yes even though I didn't want them because I wanted to say yes to her.

Hard workout today. It was hot and I felt uncomfortable and the first third was just torture but I worked it out and came away with a decent, albeit short, workout.
Random program, levels 3-8. 1 running interval for 90 seconds @ 6.0 mph 1 running interval for 60 seconds @ 6.0 mph Stats: 215 calories, 1.92 miles, 35 minutes |
Today was an early one on the beach for 4 miles, then home for PT with my new purple "mini-band". How something "mini" can hurt that much is beyond me.
Otherwise working around the house which nowadays includes a bit of lifting too. :theisland: |
I hope giving both my fur kids a bath then a good summer clip counts for something cause i'm worn out from doing it.
|
Today I did 35 minutes on the StairMaster (45/50 intervals) and 25 minutes of weight lifting and yoga.
|
I've been decorating for the past couple of days, painting mainly which is a great upper body workout. And my morning yoga has now increased to include an evening one..an excellent way for me to release the day's tension.

I had to scrape and sand a hutch that my daughter needs for her place...I havent painted it yet, but I did paint a little tool box slash stool that my mother picked up... and yes....yoga....helps with the back and neck pain ive had the last few days....so would a nice glass of wine and a hot bath....but I digress :) |
Yesterday I did my three miles but the last half mile was gimpy, I pulled up lame.
Today I started and ended gimpy (but made it). I may have to take tomorrow off. :( |
today I had my first session with a personal trainer. One hour of hard core exercises, abs, arms, balance, cardio the works. Then I went to sit by the outside pool and it was hot. I heard the water calling my name and decided to swim for a little bit. Only did 12 laps but that was all I can manage. Little sore, let's see what tomorrow brings. But it was good

Good evening!
I wound up not working out tonight but it's not a total loss. I'm contemplating taking an aerial arts class and was allowed to observe a class tonight. I like the instructor but it looks like the only class I would be able to attend regularly will be taught by a very 'energetic woman in her mid-forties' which sounds awesome to me. There's another class I'm interested in also, a hoop class, but I wouldn't be able to make it regularly. I'll talk to the owner of the company (it's small and new to my area) and see if something could be worked out. We are only allowed 2 missed classes in an 8 week period, which won't work. Maybe I could do it as a drop in, which would be more expensive, but there aren't restrictions on class attendance. How exciting is THAT??? They were doing some of these positions and transitions while I was there. Who knows? Maybe one day this could be me! :) |

Good Morning Sunshine the Earth says Hello!
Started the day off with an early morning cycle riding along the seafront before the tourist descend making the cycle pathway an obstacle course. Clocked up 20 miles round trip at a gentle cadence and so finished with a yoga routine. I've still bundles of energy so a trip to the local gym to lift some weights should bring about the desired fatigue.
