Yesterday: 65 minutes on the stair master and 55 minutes doing weightlifting, ab exercises, and stretching. I went to a lower level on the stair master and didn't have back issues. Whew!
Today: 1 hour on the stair master (at same lower level) and 1 hour of weight lifting, stretching, tai chi, and yoga. I did both my workouts in the evening. Really because it's the end of my spring break and I have much puttering around to be done at home.

Now that the weather is Ah-mazing, I am spending more time outside. Going for walks anywhere and everywhere. The past two weeks I've been hiking and taking photos of the beautiful scenery. I forget how pretty Pennsylvania can be. Feel so much better when I am active.

I worked out this morning....early but later than usual. The gym didn't have as many people, which was nice.
I hopped on the elliptical for 40 minutes. Random program. Level 5. Stats: 420 cal, 3.64 mi Then I stretched for about 15 minutes. All in all, it was a nice start to the day. |

I used bringing back my Redbox movie as an excuse to get a quickie in. I did half an hour on the recumbent bike.

I had errands to do this morning so I got up and out pretty quickly and was at the gym before 8am.
Elliptical: E21, random program, level 5 Stats: 327 cal, 2.84 mi, 35:00 min Recumbent: B6, random program, levels 5-7 I started with level 5 and increased a level every 10 minutes. Stats: 226 cal, 8.20 mi, 35:00 min Level 6 was the hardest of all. That's the beauty of the random program; you never know what it's going to give you. I stretched for about 10 minutes after that and made a new orientation appointment for Monday morning with their new trainer. Every time they switch trainers you have to do a new orientation. The last time I did an orientation, I had my first sciatic attack soon afterwards. I hope history does not repeat itself. That was NOT fun and I'm still dealing with the repercussions of this condition. It's a beautiful weekend and if I were a runner, I'd be pounding the pavement. Tons of sun and a high of 72 today. Sweet! |

The weekend usual
I had a four-mile run today. Probably will run 6-8 miles tomorrow. I'll probably spend the rest of the afternoon in my vegetable garden and head out to do some grocery shopping this evening. And then I do 45 minutes of yoga in the evening before bed. A fairly busy day, I suppose. But I like it that way.

I've been quite the slacker in the exercise department lately ever since I did my 5k run. I have only been walking about 2 miles per day. Although yesterday I got out and threw the football around with my sister and nephew for an hour.
I am struggling with getting home so late from work (I am gone from 7am to 7:30pm generally during the week), and then convincing myself to go to the gym, and cook a healthy meal. I want to be in the gym, but I also want to have time to relax and do other things I enjoy.

I changed things up just a smidge today.
I started with the Matrix (stair master). I started with the manual program at level one and then bumped up the speed as I went. Eventually, it automatically bumped up a level after I went up a couple notches in speed. Stats: 101 cal, 556 steps, 18:00 min E21, random program, level 6 Stats: 288 cal, 2.55 mi, 30:00 min As I was finishing up, the lady that tried to chat me up a while ago hopped on the recumbent bike next to the one I usually hop on. Someone tried to hop on another one two bikes down but she made them get on the one next to her. To avoid ANY issues, I hopped on the one alllllllll the way on the end. It's so old, it didn't even have a number on it. Maybe it's the momma of all the recumbent bikes. Stats: 81 cal, 2.77 mi, 13:00 min I finished up with about 10 minutes of stretching and ab work. |

With my disabilities I am nowhere near the level of sportsmanship y'all are with going to the gym and getting on the fancy equipment. Those days have been entirely too long ago for me. I remember the days of lifting weights, playing basketball, being on swim team and even taking gymnastics in my much younger years. However, over the years things changed. I will say now that I am determined to make changes to accomplish those things again. I have cut the carbs way back and started to move around more. As the weight is coming off the pressure on the joints and muscles is decreasing. It may not seem by much to everyone elses standards but to me those are huge. I have dropped a total of 54 lbs in a matter of a year...maybe a little more. I am going to continue by getting help from someone to till my garden plot so I can get outside and start working that dirt and moving around even more. Good health will be mine one day. I vow it even if it is said again with my last dying breath. I miss the things I used to do...including going to the gym. So first things first and Iwill eventually be back at it.

I started out early today because I wanted to enjoy the sunshine. But I went to a favorite place, where you can see at least 4 other volcanoes in the Cascade mountain range.
Total miles walked is somewhere near 10 miles. I have a few blisters on my right foot, but I'll be good as new after a long foot soak. I definitely can feel my muscles burning. Oh, and I have been able to increase my water intake. I drank 4 liters of water on my walk/hike, today. I'm not a big water drinker because I prefer milk or juice, so it's a challenge for me to drink enough water.

Yesterday we ran our first 10k.
I finished at 1:07:45 and placed 1955 out of 3474. Feeling proud and so good afterwards! Next up is a 5k out in CO this May while on our vacation.

Hit the gym for the first time in two weeks. It felt good although it was just the usual of 90 mins on the bike. I really need to get back into some of my PT basics.
Maybe tomorrow... |

Up at 6am. At gym by 6:30. Orientation with new trainer at 6:40am. I am advised to keep my heart rate much lower to increase fat burn.
7-7:30am cardio E21, random program, level 5 Stats: 151 cal, .97 mi, 18:00 min 7:30-8am arms Small class of 5 doing arms training with free weights, bars and cable machines 8-8:30am legs Small class of 5 (some from arms class, some new) doing legs training with free weights, body weight, gravity and my trainer's sadist mind. We were all shaking by the end. I. hate. wall. squats. ...especially when they immediately follow traveling squats. Oy. I would have stayed for the next class, abs, but I had an appointment. It wound up being delayed so that annoyed me. I really wanted to do the abs. Next Monday! |

Gemme, what do you usually keep your heart rate at? How about others on this thread?
Sunday, two hour walk in the park (leisurely). Yesterday, Monday, 45 minutes on a recumbent bike at a hotel where I'm at a conference at through Saturday, followed by 15 minutes tai chi in my hotel room. The place where the back support of the bike is supposed to click in was partially broken, so it hurt my back a bit, not terrible though.

Finally...yoga!
I found a video with a practice specifically for opening up the hips...which is my greatest issue... By the end of the 30 min practice, I already had gained flexibility and range of motion. Amazing. It also loosened a lot of tension in my lower back. Yoga truly is a wondrous thing...and anyone who thinks they can't do it really needs to try. You can always modify it to suit your needs and ability. And what it does for the mind is worth giving it a shot I find it very soothing and centering...
