Hammer Jammer Holiday Mile Challenge.

HJHMC: 1 hour walk to and from my doctor's office today. WTG everybody! Kris a streak is a streak...woohooo! HJ the arthritis workout still needs work. I need a couple more low-impact, moderate-intensity cardio intervals that can be done in a small space for the small group format, i.e. towel runs, high knees, butt kicks. Do you have ideas/stuff you like to do? Thanks buddy.

Amy I like Tabata Sets with Body Weight Squats, and High Reach (Arms over head) Calf Raises Face paced, walk in place during 10 sec rest. Windmills in between tabata's (Feet shoulder width, Arms Extended to parallel and reaching over and down to toe touch opposite foot) These are no impact but can be done to a cardio style pace. They are full body movements and with good form as safe as it gets. Or space the intervals with the ones you mentioned above. Once they players are more advanced you can add weights/resistance bands. Hope that helps.

Oh oh Amy, I have a few on my you tube list. I do them when I'm recovering from an injury (which is half of the year lol) or when I don't feel up for it. I'll post them when I'm on my computer.

Cool HJ and Heron, thanks! I'll be teaching this in a park when I get my group fitness certification. All of those full body movements will be great for cardio intervals. For the strength intervals, I'm going to have a couple pairs of push-up handles available for people with wrist issues who want to do push-ups on their knees or toes. I'll bring different bands with very light to heavy resistance for standing rows, shoulder raises, bicep curls, tri extensions, etc. I'm going to get the bands with nice, cushy padded handles so they feel more comfortable in arthritic hands. I'm going through my music library to create the playlist...I feel a Rolling Stones themed workout coming on...

Good Stuff Heron

ActiveAmyLynn

Hey everybody! Love these workouts Heron! The cross squats and all the movements working the transverse plane are now in my workout
HJ I received my holiday card, thank you! I loved the sentiment of spreading joy. It inspired me to add one thing each day to my gratitude list. I feel the most joy when I'm grateful. I'd like to send you a card, but I couldn't make out your mailing address...will you message it to me?

Well the good thing about the Foster is that I'm forced to walk more but the bad news is no workout. Once we both adjust to the new change again I'll be able to work in something.

Amy I love those cross squats, it felt weird doing it at first but I like working out parts that is normally overlooked. Have fun! Oh how's your research of making your own kraut going? It's easy right?

Hmrjmr1

Amy - Glad you liked it more on the way.

I'm doing the 5 peaks challenge for a class assignment. The 5 peaks challenge was designed by the park service to get people off the over-hiked, stressed trails of Cowles Mountain, which is the highest point in the City of San Diego at 1592 feet. I hiked Cowles yesterday from a less traveled trail up the back of the mountain, around 5 1/2 miles total. A few days ago I hiked North Fortuna. Still have 3 peaks to do by Sunday.

Good O Amy! U B Jammin!
