Good morning, everyone. I hope everyone is well.

Well, I’m coming out of hibernation today. I MUST get my car maintenance done. Tires need to be rotated, washer fluid checked, oil changed and whatever else is needed. I should have done this in November but my middle name is procrastination, lol. I cancelled an appointment last week so I can’t cancel today. There’s some snow from overnight but not much.

Probably no workout today either but tomorrow is promising. The temperature is supposed to be in the thirties! Heat wave, lol. So I’m looking for to Zumba tomorrow.

Enjoy your day folks.

Hi all! Well, my zumba class went well yesterday--but I only had 2 people. The gym has effectively killed the zumba program there because people don't like the other instructors and the following that I was starting to build quit going because of the above. And then yesterday I found out someone who used to be in my zumba class (when I was a student) and was seemingly one of my biggest supporters, was bad mouthing me in the locker room saying I was a terrible teacher and that I had no sense of rhythm. Believe me, I've got more in my little finger than she's got in her whole body. What a witch. And she is loud, so everyone heard her. I'm pretty sure people who have taken my class would not agree with her. I'm not the greatest teacher because I don't have dance background, but I can keep a beat.

Today is my training session. It is kind of expensive, but it keeps me going to the gym. I do show up for that session.

I'm thinking about joining the Planet Fitness near me just to make sure I go get some cardio on the weekends. Tomorrow is just a hair appointment and it's a good thing because my bangs are driving me nuts.

Hope you all have a great weekend! Happy February!

@DrKelli What a witch! People are just miserable these days. I'd say new gym time so I vote yes on Planet Fitness. If my gym time wasn't free, I'd be looking too.

@Mmsfoxxie I hear it's going to ease up on you guys after today. Good Luck with the freezing but fresh air!

I did some walking around this morning. It's supposed to be beautiful here this weekend. Unfortunately, I have house guests again for the next week but I am going to try and make sure I go get my nature hikes in.

And speaking of cars, mine needs a good cleaning. I may sneak that in and some yard work too if I can.

Happy Friday!

Oh, I'll continue to use the one by work--it's free because I sub there (but I'm sure I will have to switch to a paid membership soon.) Even a paid membership is okay--my work covers 2/3rds of it.

I'm on my way out to get my car taken care of and thought I'd jump in here for a minute. Wow, @DrKelli, when a mean spirited woman she is! We're all entitled to our opinions (cause that's what it was...maybe she didn't pay attention in school when fact versus opinion was taught) but we don't loudly share them in a public place. That's one of the reasons I stopped posting in various forums. You run across people in especially that Community Chat and read some of the mean things they say and it turns me off. So sorry that you gave your all and that people in the water tried to steal your joy.......for a moment. I know you're bigger than that (here's an old word) heffa.

I'm outta here hoping I don't have to use my charge card for my car. Oh, wait.....it's the first of the month. Pension payout! I'm rich for about the next three weeks, lol.

Happy February

Hope everyone has a good Friday and great weekend. bopper, I hear your weather is suppose to improve.

I'm going to the gym after work to do some cardio and weights. I'm not sure what muscle group I'll work, but I need to sweat!!

Re: WELCOME TO THE FEBRUARY EXERCISE THREAD

bopper — Fri, 01 Feb 2019 23:22:06 GMT

Well well well, here we are in February!! Another month closer to Spring!! I cleaned for dad today, took me 3 hours, I was tired when I got done. But I came home and jumped on my rebounder for 30 minutes, 260 calories in 30 isn't bad...Over 12,000 steps so far today, no that wasn't from rebounding LOL...wish I could rack them up that fast!

Warming up so I hear, by the weekend. Not where some of you may get but I'm happy with 30! Dang its been cold!

Yes Ruby, it's a good thing for sure!!!

Wishing everyone a great evening!

Re: WELCOME TO THE FEBRUARY EXERCISE THREAD

Mmsfoxxie — Sat, 02 Feb 2019 13:32:35 GMT

Morning, all. Going to be in the thirties today. I thought that was great until I heard on the news that warming up so fast could be a problem with flooding and foundations warming too fast, etc.

Good for you @bopper getting 12,000 steps in. I’m surprised that rebounding didn’t count....going up and down like that.

Gonna go to my Zumba class this morning! Yay......back to normal. Valentines’s Day dinner dance this evening. I doubt if I get wear the same red dress that I wore last year. 😞!

Have a nice day, everyone.

I went hiking again today. Cold when I did it in the 40s but it's supposed to warm up into the 60s and 70s for the next few days so I will not complain. It's really nice hiking in the park without the bugs of summer. One of the benefits of winter strolling.

@Mmsfoxxie Have fun at the dance!

Re: WELCOME TO THE FEBRUARY EXERCISE THREAD

Laura14 — Sat, 02 Feb 2019 22:54:27 GMT

Also went shopping with the family. Ended up with 14,000 plus steps for the day. I am now doing a hot bath and bed.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday, very dreary here. We did go out to the annual Pancake breakfast with my sister and BIL, and my dad and it was very nicely put on. Then came home. I exercised by rebounding for 50 minutes on my new Leaps and Bounds Rebounder. Awesome mini trampoline, and after reading about how good rebounding is for your lymphatic system and many others areas of your health, I did some research and I couldn't afford the Bellicon so went with this brand. Very pleased.

Making a homemade pizza for Super Bowl, veggi's on my side mind you! Hope everyone is enjoying their day. Winter storm coming tonight again into tomorrow, starting with ice,,,not good!

Adios!

Hi Everyone! Raining and then sunny day by the Bay. A little chilly but not bad. Did all sorts of running around this weekend. My DD has a non-profit foundation and they were loading up a truck with furniture for a family that lost everything in the Paradise fire. So I helped do that yesterday morning. Today did a Turbo Jam 30 minute leg workout. Now laundry is going, set up my new Amazon Fire Stick, and getting ready to watch the Super Bowl. Since I was born and raised in So. California, I'll be rooting for the Rams but really don't care who wins. LOL

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Good morning, group. I hope everyone had a great weekend. Temperature was in the forties and today in the fifties ........wow, what a difference a few days make.

This morning I have Senior Cardio and Strength & Motion (weights with cardio). Hope I can make it through, lol. Saturday’s Zumba class was ok considering I had missed the last couple of classes and hadn’t been to my fitness center in over a week! Hope that doesn’t happen again soon.

Enjoy your day.

good morning, all! It looks like everyone had a good active weekend. We had lovely weather, but yesterday the wind came back and it was awful.

I did go join Planet Fitness this weekend so that I am more motivated to get some activity in on the weekend. This is how it went:

I went in on Saturday afternoon, fully intending to sign up (I should have just done it online) and this kid who looked about 12, struts up and says may I help you? His name is Jacob. I said, yes, I plan on signing up, but I'd like a tour of the facilities first. "Oh sure," says Jacob, "Have you ever been in a gym before?" The inside me wanted to say "I could bench press you, you little twit." and then throat punch him. The outside me says "uh, yes, I go to the gym most days of the week, downtown:"

It is a nice big gym with lots of equipment and I only plan on going on the weekend, although I did sign up for 2 30 minute classes this week--a Refresh class, which is supposed to be some balance work and yoga and a Stretch class, which I'm assuming is stretching. I went ahead with the black card membership--about 20 bucks a month which includes some extras, including the hydromassage beds and tanning. I used one of the massage beds yesterday and it was FANTASTIC! But Jacob needs to be taught some manners.

Today is Quick Fit and then I have the task that I hate most tonight--the HOA board meeting. Most thankless job on the planet. And I'm a volunteer!

Hope you all have a great day!

@DrKelli $20! I wish I could find a place like that. And I am perfectly okay with a chalk outline at the entrance of your new gym. Here lies Jacob after he couldn't out bench press a girl has a nice ring to it.

I went shopping again with my mom and got in about 7000 steps yesterday. That's a lot for me so I had a very good walking experience for two days straight. She is actually down 20 pounds which I am so happy to see. She lost 14 on Nutrisystem and then switched to a keto like plan (low carb high protein) and lost the other 6. Actually 10 because she gained 4 back over the holidays. I really hope she keeps going. She has doctor appointments in a few weeks after she comes back from Hawaii later this month. Hopefully, she'll see some good results in her vitals too from getting rid of the weight.

Have a great Monday all!

Hi Everyone! Its a wet, cold, soggy day by the Bay. Later today we may even get lightening and hail! Thats a big deal for us!

This morning I did the 2-mile, 30 minute Leslie Sansone workout.

Sounds like its warming up in some places, which is good! The rest of you stay warm and dry. Not much else to report. Hope everyone has a good day.

Re: WELCOME TO THE FEBRUARY EXERCISE THREAD

RubyNoel — Tue, 05 Feb 2019 03:14:23 GMT

Hope everyone had a great day! Today started with a doctors apt including blood work. Hopefully, my weight loss and working out again for the past year will improve my results. I can’t wait to see se them.

After work I did some cardio and my legs.

Mmsfoxxie — Tue, 05 Feb 2019 12:07:26 GMT

Howdy do, everybody. Beautiful drizzly day yesterday in the mid forties. Today, the twenties with possible ice storm. You have to take what you get, right, lol.

@RubyNoel, sounds like you’re going to have a good medical report. Congratulations! Glad your mom is doing well, @Laura14. @DrKelli, let me know what you think of Planet Fitness after you’ve been there a while. I did a walk through once at one near me and felt it was too crowded for me and a younger crowd. You’re young enough to like that, though. Plus the workout schedule wasn’t to my liking. Plenty of machines and weights. Back then, they advertised $10 a month. Thats an enticement for crowds. It was a strip mall.

Tuesday is Body & Sculpt day, then Flexibility. Might do Zumba but I doubt it. I haven’t weighed in weeks. Guess why. I feel 😞.

Enjoy your day, everyone!
