Hi ladies! My workouts on Wednesday were Walking, mobility and Gina B. Hiit Walk. My body was tired today even though I slept very well last night. Laurie, great workout! Those are innocent looking workouts, but you do feel them the next day! LOL I can't remember where I read that you still get good benefits by doing the…

Hi ladies! My workouts on Monday were Tracy Steen Killer Leg Day Circuit, Walking, Mobility. The leg workout was great. It had 3 circuits of 5 exercises. Each circuit was repeated 3 times. I was able to do step ups onto 4 risers + the step. I used the stack of risers I am using for the bike. The bike is next to a window,…

Hi ladies! My workouts on Monday were Tracy Steen Low Impact Cardio and Standing Abs, Walking, Mobility. Laurie, I'm glad you had a nice weekend! Sounds like you need baby a baby gate for the steps! I hope the baby had a good time at the zoo! How nice that your dd continues to improve her condo! Great job getting a workout…

Hi ladies! I hope you had a good weekend. Ours was busy, specially Saturday. Our Samsung refrigerator's ice cube panel froze again. DH had to take the thing apart and spent a good 4 hours thawing it out. I got to deep clean the fridge. What a pain it was for him! My workouts on Friday were walking, Gina G Latin Style Hiit,…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Thursday were Tracy Steen Lower Body, Walking, Mobility. It's been pretty stormy tonight. We had thunder, lightning, wind, heavy rain. PT was good. The PT told me that at 16 weeks I'll be 75% healed. I'm at 8 weeks now. I believe strength training will start at 16 weeks. Laurie, great workout!…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Wednesday were walking, Tracy Steen Standing Abs and Mobility. I'm considering my PT exercises a mobility workout. I burned 100 calories doing my PT! I figured out how to do the arm bike at home. I walked into my workout room, and kept looking at my spinning bike and I thought, what about if we…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Tuesday were Walking and Tracy Steen Lean Thighs and Strong Glutes. I don't know how Tracy comes up with 5 new workouts a week, but she does it and this one was a winner! PT was good. I graduated to the arm bike. This is the only exercise I can't do at home, which I'm not happy about because it is…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Monday were Walking X2 and a mobility workout. My shoulder was a little angry all day and I was tired after meeting my friends for lunch, so I had a light workout day. We were under in dangerous fire conditions again on Monday. Laurie, how nice that you and your DH got to enjoy lunch out on…

Hi ladies, I hope you had a great weekend. We had a nice weekend. We had a nice surprise on Friday night, it rained! The last time I checked the forecast didn't show chances of rain, but somehow there were 53% chances of rain! It got very windy too. The chances of rain have disappeared from the forecast again. We were…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Thursday were Walking X2, Yoga for Flexibility and Caroline Girvan Quads. The yoga workout was on the floor and more of a lower body stretch. It felt good to do it. Laurie, nice workout!! I'm glad the snow wasn't too bad. That slushy stuff is nasty, though. I meant to ask about the snow removal in…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Wednesday were walking X2 and Gina B 60's power walk. PT was brutal! The PT worked on stretching my arm and it was painful. I got a new exercise. It's a bench press into a pullover using a stick. The press part was easy. The pullover was more of a challenge, but I was able to go pretty far back.…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Tuesday were Walking, Gina B Power Walk, CG Glutes. I had a breakthrough day with my arm today. I have a long handle comb and I was able to comb my hair using my right hand. I was able to reach my head without leaning forward. I was able to pull my hair up into a ponytail too! That's huge! The…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Monday were walking X2, Tracy Steen Standing Abs Hiit. I can always count on Tracy for added lower body work during cardio. We got more rain on Monday and the wind was howling Monday night. We're under a wind advisory until Tuesday afternoon. I got a new PT exercise on Monday. I'm doing finger…

Hi ladies, I hope you had a good weekend. We didn't get as much rain as originally predicted. On Saturday we got about 1 inch. Sunday was not rainy at all, the rain started late Sunday night. My workouts on Friday were walking and legs. Saturday - walking. Sunday - Walkging and Heather Robertson Hamstrings & Quads. Laurie,…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Thursday were Walking, Caroline Girvan Glutes Workout and Gina B HIIT for Weight Loss. Laurie, great workout! You do need to use lower weights when using the stability ball. Cathy mentiones that in some of her workouts. I hope that by the time we get Cathe's new workout program, I'll be able to do…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Wednesday were Walking X2 and Tracy Steen INNER and OUTER Thigh Workout. I preordered Cathe's new program. I can't believe it's going out in the summer! The stabbing pain finally stopped! I am worried that I have PT with the same therapist on Friday, though. Laurie, your body needed the rest!…

Hi Ladies, since my brutal bicep massage on Monday I've been getting the stabbing pain and I hate it! I had PT on Tuesday afternoon with a different PT, and she kept it gentle. She gave me an ice cube massage! I'd never heard of such thing, but it felt sooo yummy! She held an ice cube with a washcloth and rubbed it gently…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Monday were Walking and Tracy Steen Low Impact Cardio and Standing Abs. Next week will be my last week of PT 3 times a week, then PT will be twice a week for a while. I believe that toward the end of March we'll start working on strength. I can just see them giving me a 1 lb. dumbbell. I use one…

Hi Ladies, I hope you had a nice weekend. Ours was good and very busy. We adopted a little dog, and she is a bit of a special needs dog. She was hit by a car on 12/31 and she walks a little wobbly. She is 10-12 years old and is a total sweetie. Vets think that there was a problem with her legs prior to the accident. We…

Hi Ladies, my workouts on Thursday were Walking X2 and Tracy Steen No Repeat Legs and Abs. I believe I've figured out the cause of my upper back issues. It was recommended to me by my surgeon's nurse to use racer back bras during my recovery. I bought two different styles. One has thin straps, and it crisscrosses in…

Hi Ladies, my back has been killing me. I think it all started when I started sleeping back on our bed over the weekend. I can't get my upper back to relax no matter how much I massage or move. I'm 5 weeks post op and my PT told me that I am exactly where I need to be as he took my arm into an overhead raise while I was…

Hi Ladies, my workouts on Tuesday were walking and Gina B. Latin Pop Dance Cardio. We got rain on Tuesday night! It was a nice surprise to me. Laurie, great workouts! I don't think many people love Bulgarian squats! LOL Laurel, great workouts! We had sunshine on Tuesday too. See you tomorrow! Thelma

Hi Ladies, we have gotten almost 3" of rain between Wednesday night and Thursday. Some rain is expected on Friday morning, then a lot of rain back on Saturday. I've made good progress with my arm. I can now reach my left armpit! The things we take for granted! I can hook up my bra and dress myself. Making the chili by…

Hi Ladies, my workouts on Wednesday were walking and Tracy Steen No Jump Cardio & Standing Ab Workout It is raining here and we're under flash flood warning through Friday. My shoulder is feeling pretty good, and I've started PT exercises to help me raise my arm again. My regular PT was off on Wednesday and the backup…

Hi Ladies, I haven't missed the sling for one second! I don't know how the doctor said I could start doing my daily living activities such as bathing, eating, washing my hair. I am having to learn to eat with my right hand. I can't wash my hair because I can't reach my head. I can already see that I've gained some range in…

I'm off the sling!!! I'm so happy! The doctor said I could do normal daily right handed activities, like showering, washing my hair, eating. No lifting of course. Will write more later! Thelma

Hi Ladies, my workouts on Monday were walking and Gina B Hiit Low Impact workout. DH drove me to the restaurant I was meeting my yoga friends for lunch. It was a lot of fun. There's a supermarket there too, so I went food shopping. It's a good thing they have the small shopping carts, because I wouldn't have been able to…

Hi ladies! I hope you had a good weekend. We survived the arctic air! We are expected to get a lot of rain in the middle of the week. We need a lot of rain, but I hope it won't flood the area again. I had a bit of a miserable weekend. My shoulder throbbed all day Friday after PT. I had been told this could happen. I was…
