Yes, yes and yes
Walking and functional strength and stretching.
A couple of months ago, I started trying to do a little bit of stretching every day. The Apple Fitness program has 5-10 minutes 'cool down' sessions which are essentially stretching. It is easy for me to fit this into my day. I don't really have an excuse not to do it. If I can fit in more, I will. I find that I am learning different stretches and then find myself doing them later while I wait for coffee to brew etc. My husband is very stiff and needs to stretch more so I feel that it is good to be a role model to him. And I feel the difference. In a recent trip to visit an 18 month old granddaughter, I was grateful at my age to be limber enough to crawl on the floor with her, play in the sandbox, etc.8 -

I use my apps to track my steps. I saw my June was slightly low, but yearly was good. Basically, distracted myself with a very mellow embroidery YouTube video & just kept walking until I got to over 90 minutes.
I then congratulated myself with a “Good Job! Yep, you are gonna remain in maintenance!” Surprising how well that little arm pump & compliment works on those days we dig deep & do what it takes!7 -

I don't stretch prior to my weight workouts. I read a study several years ago that suggested there was no evidence it helped to avoid injury so I stopped doing it. Sometimes I do stretch between sets but that's more for movement or because I feel stiff which tends to only happen in the winter when it's cold.7 -
Thank you, Rick! ⚘
No pass days so far in June:
- logged consistently
- under each day, by 27 to 500 cal
- worked out each day, ranging from 30 min to over 2hrs active (including getting around by 🚴♀️). Did a 🔥 hike last Sat 🧗♀️
A little to go and I'll finish Girvan's Epic 1 🏋♀️.
Hope to not disgrace myself, now that I joined and officially report here 🤭.8 -
@dewit I started with Girvan's Epic 1 yesterday. 2 days completed. Just wondering what I can expect in 10 weeks? Do you see the difference? I am going to make pictures tonight for "before" and "after". Would be nice if you could share your experience

@dewit I don't think there is a disgrace in joining UAC. If so I guess I've disgraced myself for months by joining and not being actively committed lol. But for me the UAC was a goal I aspired too. By joining the group I was forcing myself to take the steps I needed to do to one day move from a passive to an active member. So welcome back and congrats on being committed to trying to accomplish your goal!! Remember that old saying: "If at first you don't succeed, try and try again..."3

I want to thank Sherri, @SModa61 for voluntarily filling in as our UAC leader. She has faithfully carried us through the close of May and into mid-June!
Only I know how much work she has done. She has read everyone of our team member's posts.
She captained the team even though she is in the middle of preparing her home for sale.
I salute you. On behalf of the UAC, I thank you.
Rick
That's amazing. @SModa61 @RangerRickL thank you both. I really enjoy this group.
3/3 today. Stayed on 2 pass days. Lots of physical work emptying boxes of books and walking back and forth from work.
We adopted an older cat. I didn't realize how quickly I would love him 💕6
