I did and didn't do better at walking this week. I have been utterly exhausted the past three days. Maybe overtime is wearing me out-drove another 400ish extra miles this week. Probably all the travel. I have a couple non-travel weeks, so hoping to start having more energy.

@Laurabb99 - Which specific exercises are you planning on doing? A bench is a versatile piece of equipment, especially if you have a set of dumbbells/kettlebells/plates for a barbell. And most benches work for people regardless of height.

I was going to look for a flat weight bench, but hubby thought that adjustable would be more versatile. I currently have kettlebells. I'm going to look at getting bench rack, plates, and a bar. While I was reading reviews of some cheaper options, some reviewers complained that the bench wasn't long enough for 5' 9".

I found this one on FB marketplace for $80. We'll see how it goes. This will be a good start for a home gym.

I agree that an adjustable bench would be more useful than a flat bench (I tend to prefer incline chest presses to flat bench presses, so I'm a bit biased). Let us know how it goes!

My weight is up a bit again this week. I forgot to weigh in yesterday and had some chocolate biscuits and wine yesterday, plus my meals were a bit stodgy over the past couple of days, coupled with very little activity. However, I have been doing some exercises and hope to improve on all fronts soon. My feet are aching, so gently does it 😊

Daily Cheers to a BETTER ME!
