Joined a women only gym last Thursday...brand new to my area...& had a Personal Trainer for an hour.
With my "limitations" I am using one machine to do pull up & sits, to tone leg muscles & shoulders. I use a green band for my resistance program! I do the rest in a chair (limited standing abilities...) BUT I am making progress. I use a length of PVC pipe to "warm up" with over head arm stretches. Saturday I did 45 min in pool of water exercises, then just played about another hour. Today I went back to gym (as I had to wait until cleared by neurosurgeon for my neck issues) & did another hour of same regimen above. Next month I will have trainer add in elliptical to see how I manage that! I have lost my required 2 lbs for the last week. I am stoked!!!

Went to gym early this AM. (my honey is off on weekends, so she could be with Heidi while I went)
I did 45 min. of exercises, and they have a Sauna. So guess what, I did 20 min. in it. It is a dry sauna....what an incredible experience....I LOVED it! I didn't know about the sauna prior to today's visit!!! They also have a pool BUT I do NOT do public pools. I will use my own, thank you very much!!!! I have been drinking lots of cool water today...imagine that!!

Now that my rehab is coming along nicely, they told me I could go to the gym. So last week I started working out. I begin by riding the recumbent bike for 10 minutes which is a little over a mile, to loosen up my legs. Then I get on the weight machines for upper body, back and legs. First day last week I was like I really do feel better after having worked out. Not doing heavy weights just doing 3 reps of 10 at a weight that makes the last 3 lifts in a set a little hard to do.
I stopped by Mom's and told her how good it made me feel. She said well maybe it would make me feel better to. I never thought she would go more than once, but she has gone with me 4 days in a row and even called me at 7 to make sure I was up..Chuckles...the first day she didn't want to go until 10:30. Iz like Good Lort Mom half the day is gone then. So today she told me she needed a reason to get up and get going and she though going to the gym was a. good motivator. WooHoo go Mom. Yesterday I discovered the hydro massage bed OMG

I have a hard time calling hiking exercise...it's just so fun...
But yesterday we did some epic hiking at Linville Falls. I had been wanting to go there for years...it's gorgeous! (That's an inside joke...Linville Falls is located within Linville Gorge...I'm hilarious) I've also been doing yoga more. As much for my mental health as my physical. I like how it centers me and prepares me for my day. It just WORKS I need to do more upper body work to balance the hiking. I need more core too...I've gotta peruse youtube. That's where I found the "yoga. Camp"

Good workout this morning.
Warm up: Life Fitness elliptical, random program, level 4 Stats: 80 cal, .59 mi, 9:00 min Body: about 45 minutes of strength training....instead of doing multiple sets of 12, yada yada yada...I did one set of 15 but made sure it was at a weight that would prove challenging. I was able to have enough juice to use just about all of the machines at least once doing it this way and it's nice to change things up a little. Cool down: 10 minutes on the TrueStretch contraption and about 10 minutes on the mat stretching |

No official workout for me today, although I will be moving furniture and boxes around and trying a bunch of clothes on so there will be a contortion element to my day today.

I started a new job in May and during the transition I had not been exercising much and not going to the gym at all. I have this summer off due to the school calendar and so I've been going on walks. Today I finally went back to the gym. I did the stairmaster for half an hour. Stats: 226 cal , level 2 & 3 , 62 floors, 2.1 floors per min, 481 ft. It felt good to go back to the gym. I'm glad I got over the hump of actually going back.

Two days back at the gym and I have yet to see Jill. I won't really feel like I'm back at the gym until I see her.

In other, wish I didn't see news, I saw a former customer of ours. He's an obnoxious, chauvinistic, misogynist, peckerhead of a meathead guy. Sometimes my skin crawls around him and he was there and he noticed me. Twice. Got my name wrong the first time, which was fine with me, but decided to come into the circuit training area and comment on my form. It was relatively neutral but I just don't want to be around him, talk to him, see or smell him ever again. I may be allergic to him. I had a long workout as it's been a few days since my last gym venture. Life Fitness elliptical, random program, level 4 Stats: 70 cal, .50 mi, 8:00 min Good, steady warm up followed by a long strength training session. I did 3 sets of 12 reps and higher to highest weights that I could handle and still maintain some semblance of form. It was about an hour and a half or so. Cool down was about 10 minutes on the mat and another 5-6 on the TrueStretch thingy. I'm finding that it's really good for my shoulders and arms. I can never seem to fully stretch out my triceps and shoulders otherwise. I have cleaning ahead of me today as well. I'd say maybe 1.5-2 hours worth. |

30 minutes on the stairmaster.
Gemme, I hear you on others' commentary. I was doing balance poses, and this woman came up to me and said, "I'm a yoga teacher and I've been watching you." Then blah, blah, blah. To me, it interrupts my sacred space, if that doesn't sound too new agey . I am pleasant in these situations but I want to swat them away like a fly.

Although I must say, if someone came up to me and said, "I've been watching you", that could go a lot of ways from creepy to infomercially. |
