Got it, thanks. Hopefully, I can keep up better this week.
Also, thanks to Wooken for the illustrations. They are perfect as usual.0 -

You didn't tell me that you had to have some coordination to do the side steps. :::embarassed:
I did 100 to each side:0 -
Are gramanana and I the only ones doing this?
Tues: March in place. Bring your knees up as high as you can and alternate swinging your arms up with it.
I did 120 steps in addition to 40 minutes of seated elliptical, 4 sets of 25 ball crunches and 3 sets of 25 second planks with 1 set of 20 second planks. I couldn’t gut out the last five. This is OK, when I started doing planks the first of the year, I could only do 1 set of 10 second planks and my first attempt at ball crunches, I rolled off the ball onto the floor.:ohwell: r0 -
All caught up! Love these exercises!0

I can't kneel so I just did more leg lifts! Determined to start losing weight again. I threatened the kids not to buy me candy on Valentine's day. We are going to Outback Steakhouse Friday night. Chicken on the Barbie?0

I had to do my hip extensions today. I have an artificial right knee and squishing my kneecap between the floor and the metal knob hurts so I had to buy some volleyball kneepads, but I got them done, 25 on each side. I also did the wall stretches. This is also stretches the Achilles tendon which is a good stretch for plantar fasciitis, that pain in the inside of your heel that feels like a nail is being driven into it.0

CRody44, I too have had a knee replaced, so what I do is put a fat pillow on the floor to put my knee on. Good idea on the knee pads! I might have to try that out too.
As for exercising, I have to admit, I have not done any of them this week. My leg has been hurting so bad from the hip, that I could not put weight on it even using the cane. So, now I am on crutches. I might try to get back into my routine next week.
The rest of you are doing so well. Good job! I am proud of you all.0 -
Fridays done!0

Sundays walk was very eventful. I walked at the Mall and sprained my foot again. My car was parked way on the other side of the Mall and I limped my way to it stopping at the food court to get lunch. I will never eat there again as my stomach hurts. The name of the place is What the Pho!0

@IWRBFCIN3
I am so sorry about your foot. Ouch! Nothing like being by yourself and having that happen. I love the name of the food place, What the Pho! But, very sorry about your tummy. I hope it was not food poisoning? Since you posted this on Friday and I am just now reading it, I would hope by now your tummy is better and the foot is mending? Take care.0 -
Bummer about your foot. Hope it heals quickly so you can walk...double bummer with your stomach. Geez, both at same time!0
