    I am trying something very new for me. My preference is to exercise in the early morning, but since I started working with a trainer at 7 pm on Monday evenings, it has caused me to think new thoughts. Many years ago, one of my daughters lived in Barcelona, Spain. In Barcelona it is quite common for people to stroll in the evening. My usual exercise program is to either walk with great vigor or do cardio/strength intervals. Strenuous!
    Tonight, after dinner, I walked on my treadmill while watching TV. The pace was 3.5 mph for 30 minutes.
    Calories: under by a lot
    Tracking: ok

    Exercise - Yes, 26 minute YouTube video workout
    Logging - Yes
    Calories - Over by 6

    This was a good day nonetheless. I was able to visit the attorney I worked with for 20 years this afternoon. He was in an auto accident late June 2017 and in Intensive Care in the hospital for over 6 months. He has been in rehab for the last 6-8 weeks and is finally making progress, but painstakingly slow. He has not had solid food since June 28, 2017 and is on vent with a tracheostomy for which attempts will now be made to wean him. At present he can breathe unassisted for a 4 hour span and is ventilated for the other 20 hours per day. When I visited today, the medical team was able to insert a port valve which allowed him to be able to use his voice for the 20-30 minutes we visited. PT is working on his strength, and he was able to take 27 assisted steps today. It was so very good to see him. He was alert, in a good frame of mind and enjoyed the company. Amazing how much our bodies take and still be in repair and recovery mode. He is one very good man, and has my prayers for continued strength and healing.

    Prayers to you both, there was me going into hibernation mode because of the weather!

    Yes 3x. 45 min bike.

    I’m looking to visit a gym. Any particular weight machines better than others? Won’t be working with free weights at this time. Thoughts/advice? Thanks.

    Yes x 3 today.

    @w8goal4life so sorry to hear about your friend, and hope he continues on the path to full recovery.

    @jugar hope your horse is OK. In a strange way I quite miss my visitor, but not the mess he left behind!

    Why not? You should.
    Get out of this mentality that the machines are safer, they are not.

    @MzRuthy Modern fitness theory promotes body weight exercises and dynamic exercise using TRX and techniques that improve both small supportive muscles not only large muscles

    Not so much as safer ..... less intimidating starting out .... not sure I can handle the ‘manly’ cave.

    @MzRuthy My wife, has a woman trainer and I have a different woman trainer. If you can afford that option, I highly recommend that you look into that option.
    Your friend, Rick
