Re: Welcome to the April Exercise Check In

Hey all,

I stay out of here when I've been in a bad mood and I've been in a bad mood as of late. Loss doesn't bring out the best in me. Have been trying to combat that with a serious program of exercising. Kind of a mess, but it's working to a degree. Core Fusion, Gilad, Tai Chi, and barre work. Picked up Barre 3 from here (QVC) and have fallen in love with it. Gentle little moves which kill my body the next day or two. Probably a good thing at the moment as it motivates me to keep at it or suffer the consequences of being tight and achy.

Bopper hi! Wish I could send you some of the spring weather we've been treated to this season. Hang in there, it will come! Has to.

Healing wishes for your hip nomless.

Patty, whenever you are able to peek in, all my best with your move. You take care of you.

MickD and NoTan, nice to meet you. Hi Von. Congratulations NoTan and enjoy. Should be some exciting opportunities with that education. Cool. Waving to FUTURE, Tony, anyone else I didn't mean to forget if I did.

Hi, Canine. It sounds like you could use a hug, consider one sent. It's good to see you again. You're doing a nice mix of programs, gentle and stretchy. I bet they feel good.

Hi, MickD, good job on your upper body with TG.

Hi, Bopper, I hope your day is a good one.

Patty, Cater, wishing you a good day, too!

Yesterday I was sort of under the weather....felt bad but got through the workday. Slept when I got home, so no workout. Today my hip is a little better, my foot is still a little sore, so I'll probably do just the bike tonight. I'll keep the resistance low so I don't aggravate my hip. Since it is a little better, I'm hopeful that it's just muscle soreness and not a problem with the implant. But I'd be less worried if it would just stop hurting altogether!

Re: Welcome to the April Exercise Check In

Happy Good Friday to you all!

Today I did the treadmill on a slight incline and then TG bi's, tri's, inner and outer thighs..My upper back is sore from yesterdays workout too.

MickD I am glad you are liking the TG, I really get lots of use out of mine.

Canine, sending hugs to you. Loss is a difficult thing and it takes so much out of you. I think your workout as nomless said are a great mix of everything we all should be doing. I am lacking on the stretching...

Nomless I hope you are feeling better. Take care of your hip and foot. I only did 2 miles today because my foot hurt...My hip flexors are so tight too. But we keep plugging alone!

Pppmint you've had a long week, lots of work cleaning and moving....I hope it's coming along nicely for everyone! Safe trip back home!

I was looking at Josie Maran's self tanning oil, has all 5 starts..I may try it..I like her Argan Oil and cheek sticks a lot.

We're very cold today, yesterday 50, today 28 with a wind chill of 11....yes 11.....no sandals here for a while...all next week only the 30's.

Take care everyone!

I did 40 min cardio, 30 on bike with no resistance, 5 on elliptical and on treadmill. I took it pretty easy....I hope my foot and hip are ok tomorrow.

Re: Welcome to the April Exercise Check In

One hour cardio done, mostly on the bike, a git on the elliptical. I found I can read while doing the bike. That made the time pass faster. I wish all who celebrate Easter a happy holiday. Have a good weekend, everyone.
