Today I walked Dottie 20 minutes, walked 20 minutes at the park with Mark, and did 10 minutes Restorative Yoga. @Deeder522 Nice job, and it's extra credit if you stop and take photos of blooming trees 😉 Great idea listening to audio books while walking! I understand about step as I'm not quite ready myself for it either.…

@zichab Congratulations on your fantastic report reflecting all your hard work the last 3 months! It's great to know how exercise shows up on the health report pages in such a measurable and clear way; very inspiring! Wonderful plan with your new focus on strength this month 💪 I've been there too (a heap on the floor, that…

@Deeder522 I like your goal of doing one big project per month! I need to switch up my wardrobe for the warmer seasons too, haven't been able to get to that, good reminder. Wow, good job clearing out things, you are making it happen! That must feel wonderful:) Sorry to hear about your wrist, hope you feel better soon 💚…

Yesterday I did 75 minutes Tai Chi and 70 minutes of mowing. I went to bed early last night (gosh, I love it when I do that!). Today is a rest day. Will try to catch up with you all soon. Happy May Day!

Sorry that I've been MIA. It's been two busy weekends in a row for me (not my preference) and dinners out each day of the past two weekends (not my style). And I haven't felt well so when I wasn't having to go to an event, I've been recovering at home. Exercise has mostly gone out the window this last part of April except…

Tuesday I got some house cleaning done and it was fun and mostly relaxing. There's a lot more to do, but I'm not in a hurry. Wednesday I got started working in the junk room and made some good progress. Did 80 minutes Tai Chi after that. A productive morning! My dad is feeling better these days and so he's been able to…

Friday was way too busy to get any exercising done. Some days are like that, and thankfully not very many. Saturday was also really busy, and I didn't feel well either (spring allergies, which is why I don't like spring all that well) but I did manage to mow for 40 minutes and walk Dottie 20 minutes. On Easter Sunday I…

Today was a rest day but I did walk Dottie 25 minutes. And I took a break from the plank today.
-
Today I did 90 minutes Tai Chi and held a 2 minute plank. However, starting tomorrow I'm going to ease up on my plank holding times because I learned that two minutes is too much for me to do at the moment. Good to know. @megd44 Thank you so much 😊 Good job with flexibility. I love the lighter days after the hard…

Today I walked Dottie 30 minutes, I held a 1 minute 50-second plank, then completed 10 Russian Twists, each side, using two 5-lb dumbbells, and did 10 minutes Gentle Yoga 💗 @Deeder522 How exciting, and I'm so happy for you!! I love it when everything comes together:) @zichab Welcome home, and well done! Outstanding miles…
-
Yesterday was a plank rest day, so I took advantage of that! Walked Dottie 20 minutes. Still wasn't feeling 100% so I mostly just took it easy yesterday. Today I feel much better! Today I did 60 minutes Boot Camp, I mowed the front yard 45 minutes, I walked Dottie 20 minutes, and I held a 1 minute 40 second plank (whew!).…

Today I did not go to Step class as planned because I wasn't feeling well, but I somehow did manage to hold a 1 minute 30 second plank! It was hard to hang in there for that extra 30 seconds, but I can tell I'm getting stronger by the day. @Deeder522 Nice walk! I hope your shoulder and back feel better soon.
-
Yesterday I did not end up doing a HASfit workout as planned. However, yesterday I did walk Dottie 20 minutes and I did my 1 minute plank. All day yesterday I was not looking forward to doing my plank because the last two days' worth of 1-minute planks were sooo intense, but last night's 1-minute plank was actually a…
-
Yesterday was my rest day, but I still worked up a good sweat playing trumpet at a swing band rehearsal and I held a 1 minute plank. @Deeder522 Oh what a good idea!! I'll look into that! Thanks!
-
Today I worked all day filling in for a coworker, so I wasn't able to go to my Tai Chi class (I went to Monday's Tai Chi class to make up for today). When I got home from work, I walked Dottie 20 minutes and held a 1-minute plank. @megd44 Excellent job with the 2 mile special cut bands strength training! Yes, I am hoping…
-
Today I mowed the front yard 30 minutes (this is a strength workout wrangling the mower over a short steep hill out in the front with a ditch at the very bottom. The rest of the yard is mostly level and easy to mow, thankfully.) Later I walked Dottie for 20 minutes and held a 45 second plank. @zichab Great job, you did…
-
Today I did 60 minutes Tai Chi, 50 minutes Boot Camp, 20 minutes walk with Dottie, and I held a 45 second plank. @Deeder522 Thank you, I think so too:) Good workouts today! Glad that so many things are better for Ry. Sorry to hear about the protein though. All the best moving forward with everything.
-
Yesterday I did not do any 'formal' exercising, but I did perform in a concert with my community band, which went really well! When I got home I was exhausted. After landing on the sofa, I fell asleep, and then went to bed at 8:30 p.m. 😴 So I'm reporting that playing trumpet was my physical exercise as I certainly worked…
-
Yesterday I did 60 minutes Step class & held a 40 second plank. I did not walk Dottie today because my dad did, so that was a nice break as yesterday was busier than normal. @zichab Thanks! Well, I confess… I really didn't want to do any of the HASfit workouts yesterday…. but there it is listed on my Friday goals in April,…
-
Today: I walked Dottie in the chilly light rain for 20 minutes, held a 30-second plank, and did HASfit's 12-minute Upper Body Beginner Strength workout 💚 @megd44 You're welcome. Hang in there with the soreness and stiffness, you are getting stronger! @Deeder522 Thanks! The "1-mile Self-Care Talk and Walk" workout you did…
-
On my rest day today I walked Dottie 20 minutes and held a plank for 20 seconds 😊 @megd44 Way to go making the best of it in imperfect conditions! It's going to all pay off soon 💙
-
Today: I did 80 minutes Tai Chi, walked Dottie 20 minutes, mowed the grass 30 minutes, and held a 20-second plank. @megd44 Thank you:) I understand the love/hate plank relationship, lol! Planks are a hardship for sure. Great goals for April! Good effort making the best of it until it's nice and light enough to run outside.…
-
Today I walked with Dottie 30 minutes, cross country, 'over hill and dale' in the wind. Held a plank for 20 seconds (I'm so glad the hold time on this first day was only 20 seconds because I'm still way too sore from my Boot Camp workout on Monday). Tonight I did Bedtime Yoga with Adriene for 20 minutes 💙 @zichab Cool!! I…
-
@zichab Wow, outstanding job!!! Congratulations to you on so many levels! I'm tickled pink I got to be here now and see you do it! I hope you bask in the glow of all of your accomplishments in March—-all the way through April! You are on your way now!! ⭐️
-
@Deeder522 Happy April! And here's to calmer days 💜 I wish more stores did that too. Customer service has really gone out the window, sadly. I remember when customer service was king back in the old days. I hope the new mattress ends up being amazing for Ry 🙏 Yeah, prices are unbelievable nowadays. Good job doing the blue…
-
My 3 April Goals are: Gym Classes, Walks, and Planks 💜 1. Attend these group classes at my gym, or do my own workout at home: Monday: Boot Camp Tuesday: Gentle Yoga and/or Total Body Stretch (one or the other or both); or do Gentle Yoga at home on my own Wednesday: Tai Chi. (An additional strength workout is optional)…
-
Today I did… AM: 45 minutes Boot Camp (Tabata) & PM: 40 minutes walking with Dottie.
-
Today… AM: 40 minutes walk (20 minutes with Dottie) & PM: 20 minutes walk with Dottie. @Deeder522 Three cheers for Ry's walking and pull-up efforts! I agree with @zichab that the bands may really help bridge the gap. @megd44 You're so welcome. And thanks! Sounds like a tough schedule you're navigating, hang in there 🧡…

Today I walked for 40 minutes (20 minutes with Dottie). I am getting better at walking up and down hills, and this is so exciting! I only got winded today at the very very top of the steep hill, whew! 😜 Was breathing hard right after that, but it's getting so much easier overall, which makes it more enjoyable now. Progress…
