Hi ladies, I slept for about 3 hours last night, which explains why I was so exhausted. I sat down on the recliner with my book, and I think I only had time to put the book on my lap before I passed out. My workouts on Thursday were walking and mobility. We're expected to get some rain on Friday. It will start raining…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Wednesday were Tracy Steen Glutes and Thighs, walking and mobility. I used my 8lb vest and I liked it. It definitely made me sweat, and I felt a little winded a couple of times. I think a 10-12 lb would've probably been better, but this will have to do. PT is now taking 60 to 75 minutes. I burned…

There was a controlled burn on a mountain that we can see directly across the valley from our deck. The entire valley filled up with smoke and we could smell the smoke inside the house. The entire mountain range disappeared from the thick smoke. It was scary! I had PT on Tuesday and I got inclined pushups added to the long…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Monday were Walking, mobility and Tracy Steen Upper Body and Cardio. I lifted a weight with my left hand and just did the movements with my right arm without flexing the muscles. My arm feels better. I just have to make sure I don't overdo it, which is hard to do because it feels fine while I'm…

Hi ladies, I hope you had a great weekend. Ours was nice and not too busy for a change. We got an inch of rain Friday night into Saturday. It's been windy since Saturday night and now temps are on the cooler side. My workouts on Friday were walking, mobility and standing abs Saturday - walking and mobility Sunday -…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Thursday were walking, mobility and yoga. I kept my workouts light today because I was tired. According to my fitness tracker I only slept 2.5 hours. I am now 10 weeks post-op. My PT thinks that I can graduate from PT in two more weeks because I can do all my exercises myself at home. He also…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Wednesday were Walking, Mobility and Tracy Steen No Repeat Cardio Hiit. We got 1.5" of rain.

Thanks for explaining your weighted…

Hi ladies, my workouts on Tuesday were Walking, Mobility and Kaleigh Cohen Legs, Glutes and Thighs. I really, really liked Kaleigh. My legs were feeling the workout, which was wonderful. She actually used ankle weights during the entire workout. I think it was so that she wouldn't have to be taking them off/on. I used my…

Hi ladies! My workouts on Monday were Walking, Gentle Yoga and mobility. We may get some rain this afternoon and tomorrow morning. I'll believe it when see it! Laurel, great workouts and good job cleaning the house! Sorry you couldn't work on your deck, though. It really was a very foggy weekend. How lucky your DH decided…

Sunday - Tracy Steen Knee Friendly Leg Day, Walking and mobility. Laurel, great workouts!! I am finally on my fully on my way back. Thursday was a very long…

Hi ladies! My workouts on Wednesday were Walking, mobility and Gentle Yoga for Hips and Back. It was an exhausting day! We had to get up early because I had an appointment 90 minutes from BR and I didn't sleep well. We got back home shortly after 12:30. I got something to eat, then went to PT. I am 9 weeks post op, ladies!…

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…
