July Walks & Workouts
Replies

I've been doing HIIT 2 days now and I think I like it better than the Walking with Leslie. I found a channel HASfit; I did the '20 Min Low Impact HIIT Workout for Beginners & Fat Loss - No Repeat, No Jumping,Full Body' and it had me sweating. Watched a new video of Emma Voysey and she said it takes 3 months to see real change from a new way of eating (I don't want to call it a diet), it is my new way of eating.

@Deeder522 Sounded like you did a lot of walking, should count for something. 😁

I made good on my promise to myself and did 15 minutes of arm traing with Fit by Mik. I followed that up with 10 minute with Improved Health.
We are looking at a string of hot and humid days again. High 80s & 90s. They are saying is the Corn sweats. I think it's just July in Michigan. Ryan does not seem to be having a bad PEM event. His gut is a little unstable and his legs are twitching a bit more. Poor guy! The day after biking, he looks at me and says " I can bike for an hour with short rest but walking up a flight of stairs and I need to sit for almost 30 mins." Bodies are weird to begin with, bodies with chronic illnesses are otherworldly.@lois2077 Ontario! Howdy neighbor! Portugal!! That sounds exciting and your keeep up with your workouts. I'd ask you to tell me much better the food is there but I live in the US and everyones food seems better. 😂
@Elfirose33 I've never heard of a pool being treated that way. I'll have to take a look.
@lclark04957 The best workouts are the ones that are note intended to be workouts. Blueberries are a favorite in our house.
@megd44 Short strolls are my favorite strolls.
@zichab Your house is giving off "no more room at the Inn" feels. I know in all the chaos you and Dennis are enjoying the time with everyone.

@Deeder522 I know how hard it is to start, great work!😁

@lclark04957 Picking berries and veggies will definitely work all the lower body, good for you… any you have the fruit to enjoy, win win!

I was good today and mediated upon waking, I'm just learning. Then I did a 40 minute walk on the beach, getting my grounding in. It's nice at 8am, nobody is there. I'm learning all this stuff from Emma Voysey, love her. Today is my weight day so I will start that now. Wishing everyone a GREAT Day!😊

Took a couple of rest days after the paddle. Pretty sore muscles and some fun bruises. Still did some walking so was close to step goal. Today I did one of the WAH Easy walks just to loosen up. Feeling much better. Have a doctor appointment this afternoon so hoping we can start figuring out my sleep issues.
@zichab having that many people is a major workout in itself. Enjoy your time with them. I'm number 6 of 8 so get the craziness!
Way to go with bootcamp @Elfirose33 and walking Dottie too.
@lclark04957 chasing toddlers and littles is a major calorie burner.
@lois2077 I love Ontario. Lived in Detroit for 15 years and went to a lot of places when I was there.
Happy mid week all.

Stength training from Improved Health this morning which included a few rounds of squats with weights. Strength trainin is never the calorie burn like the walking workouts but I still get sweat going. Or maybe it was too warm in the den this morning.
They've issues a heat advisory for Thursday and I told Ryan he wasn't going to be able to leave the house for the next 3 days due to heat. Has anyone found the Utopia of tempatures yet? 🤣 These swings do a number on us.@Elfirose33 I'm not sure why but I ready your post as walking Dottie was your cooldown routine. 🐶
@lclark04957 It's been decades since I've chased toddlers. Congrats on keeping up.
@megd44 I'd love to kayak again. I've been once and I still remember how my arms and back felt the next several days.
Stay Cool, friends!

Today I did Tai Chi 75 minutes, mowed for 90 minutes, and walked Dottie 30 minutes.
@lois2077 Thank you:) Meditation is great, well done. Beach walking sounds divine because I'm nowhere near a beach.
@megd44 Thank you:) Great that you rested so well after the paddle. Paddling is a lot. Excellent workouts! All the best to you getting to the bottom of the sleep issue 💜
@Deeder522 Usually my walks with Dottie happen at the end of the day in the summer, so yes, it actually is a very nice cool down to the day, in general, as you mentioned. If my dad can walk her, he usually does it in the morning, and then I walk her when he can't.

20 min with Fit by Mik this morning. We did a lot of squats in this one. I'm starting to be able to go up in weight with some of the movements. 20 minutes was all I had in me this morning b/c it's already so hot out. Even with the air on and fans going I was pretty sweaty by the end.
We'll be hiding inside most of the day.@megd44 Did you get any of the rain last night? We could see lightening from out backyard and when I checked radar it looked like the line of storms was crossing your area.

I did okay with goals, only missing 2 days this month. I start vacation the rest of the month so I won’t be tracking anything. I want to be in the moment. I do plan to be careful about my junk eating tho. I thank you all for the posts and inspiration and wish you the best in your fitness journeys and hope you finish the month strong.
My goal for July is to keep it simple, either 10,000 steps or fit in at least a 20 min Leslie workout.

I started this morning with a 1 Mile walk with Leslie and the crew. Then followed that up with a gentle 10 minute walk with Jules from Improved Fitness.
Ryan suffered a minor set back from last weeks bike ride but with the heat he stayed inside and recovered. He's doing better now, sadly our yard isn't. 😂
Today, I have 1 stop at a client who needs help setting up their new Xfinity system. Then on to a 2nd client to pick up 2 laptops for weekend migrations to new machines.
I'm not sure about other library systems but mine uses 2 online Apps. Libby & Hoopla. I found yesterday, that Hoopla's BingePass has a pass for Get HealthyU TV. This is the Chris Freytag. I visit their YouTube page every once in a while. I know she's down walking videos in the past.@lclark04957 Enjoy your vacation. I can't wait to hear about it when you return next month.
@zichab I hope you & the house is still standing with all that activity.
@lois2077 Meditaion and Beach walking! What a great combo.
@megd44 Any luck with your sleep issues after seeing your Dr.
@Elfirose33 I've got to pull out my Tai Chi dvd and look it over again. 1 day I hope to report I made it through a session. To be honest, it's from BachBody, so I'm not sure what it will entail.

Today: Personal Training for 30 minutes done, and I walked Dottie for 25 minutes.
@Deeder522 Nice job with the squats and walks! Sorry to hear about Ryan's setback, good to hear he's doing better now. Sometimes the best I can do is just watch my Tai Chi videos while sitting in a comfy spot on the sofa, very relaxing!
@lclark04957 Well done this month! I hope you have a fun vacation!
