    @zichab - Friday was a bad day as I had a migraine headache that would not quit!!!! I may have needed sleep though because I woke up Saturday ready to go and cleaned my entire house and did all the laundry I could find, after we took our cat to the Emergency Animal Hospital!!!! Is there some reason pets cannot get sick when their vet is in the office??????? My cat just seems to love premium medical care! He's home and he is fine now, so back to Leslie today!!

    Ugh, migraines! I feel for you. Glad you had a good nights sleep. And glad your cat is OK now. Yep, pets and little kids always have bad timing when it comes to getting sick... lol.

    Hello everyone! I have not even checked into May yet. Things have been crazy with work at home and trying to keep my 17 year old on track with his studies. Looks like you are all off to a great start. Well done! My goal is the same. Work out at least 6 days each week with three strength training workouts. There was only one week in April where I missed a workout day so will try to meet my goal this month. I've been managing to finally get strength training more consistent as well. Have a good rest of the week!

    @Deeder522 So far, Mott is doing OK, but the college is very concerned about fall as many of our programs cannot be moved online. No one wants a nurse, hair dresser, auto technician, HVAC technician etc with an online degree! :noway: In addition, all the science classes have labs and it is a little difficult to mix chemicals online. :laugh: There is also some conversation among students that they plan to ride out this next year at their community colleges rather than paying the larger tuition at their universities only to have them close again. This may be why Kendall is having issues and we are not ... yet! Higher education is really in flux right now and no one knows what the new normal will be.

    @zichab - Thanks. I finally figured out that I don't have to do heavy weights and work to exhaustion. That has taken away the dread factor. :)

    I am thinking that next month, I am going to move to doing Tone Every Zone twice a week as well. I like that both upper and lower body are only 20 minutes each and I can increase the weights as I go along. Maybe, that will keep me motivated. I love the way I look and feel when I strength train, but I so HATE it! :grumble:

    Stay Safe Everyone as your states open up! :+1:

    Walk Strong! :bigsmile:

    New to the group, but better late than never right?
    I am so happy I found this group as I've just found Leslie Sansone. I signed up for yourdailywalk.com and I am setting my goal as doing one video daily + another form of exercise (Pilates, Gardening, Treadmill ect.) I've been struggling with consistency and since I really enjoy her videos and they go by so quickly I'm hoping it is something I can stick to. I am a stay at home mom to 3 (6, 4 and 2) and hubs is RCMP and gone a lot so finding time to myself is a challenge. I've got lots of baby weight to lose and hoping this is the answer!

    @lavender102013 Welcome to the group, we're so glad you found us! I have baby weight to lose too. My baby is 24 and I didn't actually give birth to him. Weird how I still gained weight. ;)

    @lavender102013 - As Deeder said, Welcome. I bet you will have no problem sticking with Leslie's workouts. She has such a variety of workouts to chose from and they do work. :)

    I have some Pal's that really like it and don't care at all for aerobic stuff. There's something so wrong about that... 😉

    If you're interested Jessica Smith on Youtube should have some videos for you to start with. It's worth a look while resting. I know she even has a couple of chair exercise videos.

    Holy moly, it's Friday????? Work picked up this week and the weather was wet, so I didn't get out to walk, and work kept me busy from inside walking. I'll get to it this weekend for sure...probably. 👩🏼‍💻😜🤔

    My friends @AnnofB and @zichab, I guess I'm in the minority! I have learned to really like strength training since I committed to doing it daily. I used to hate it and sometimes I find it very challenging, but I would honestly rather do it than walk anymore. It takes less time and I actually feel stronger. I really love arm days the best and I can see muscle definition now which is new for me as I've always had skinny arms. HASfit has some really fun videos that they made for people who get bored and they move fast, so I enjoy those, but I also like the ones that are slow and controlled on days when I'm too hot or don't have as much energy.

    Playing Barbies over Face Time with my granddaughter is cutting into my workouts! :laugh: Honestly, the one thing I have loved about this worldwide pandemic is that I can talk to and play with my children and grandchildren virtually everyday! My daughter-in-law is so grateful because I play with my 6 year old granddaughter while my daughter-in-law makes dinner and it saves her from having to use the TV or a device to keep her busy. I guess this is the silver lining right?

    My friends @AnnofB and @zichab, I guess I'm in the minority! I have learned to really like strength training since I committed to doing it daily. I used to hate it and sometimes I find it very challenging, but I would honestly rather do it than walk anymore. It takes less time and I actually feel stronger.

HASfit has some really fun videos that they made for people who get bored and they move fast, so I enjoy those, but I also like the ones that are slow and controlled on days when I'm too hot or don't have as much energy.

    I cannot figure out why I hate them so much because everything you say here is true! The strength workouts are shorter and my clothes fit so much better, so I know I look smaller and I feel tons better. However, 6 reps of this and 8 reaps of that blah blah blah I get so bored and then my mind wanders off. I can do Leslie's because she throws in the walking about the time my mind wanders off, but HASfit does not work for me at all. I get through a couple of sets and then I am doing grocery lists, hoping the vet will call, etc in my head and I lose all focus and then just do not care about it. it is a dilemma! :ohwell:

    Walk Strong Everyone! :bigsmile:

    Spent 30 minutes with my step and Jenny Ford today. I took the step outside onto the back porch to enjoy the fresh warmed air.

    @zichab That does sound like a silver lining. I also agree with strength training. I'm good for maybe 3 reps before my ADD kicks in. Jessica Smith has some training videos on Youtube that I've had good luck getting through.

    @zichab I totally understand! It's why I don't do a lot of Pilates anymore, even though it's really good for your body. My mind wanders so much during Pilates that I know I wasn't performing everything correctly.

    Have you tried any Tabata strength? They're so fast you don't have time to think. It's not about reps, it's 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest, repeat. The rest part is over so fast and you're right back into it. As soon as you even think abut being bored, they switch to a different move and you're back to the work, work, work, rest, work, work, work. I especially like any workouts that include upbeat music!

    There are lots of strength workouts for free on YouTube. Experiment and try different ones. Maybe you'll find just that right fit for you that keeps you motivated without losing your focus. Trial and error, friend! :smiley:
