We did our ride, a road ride. it was in the mid fifties with sunshine. lovely today. the trail had been swept off recently so no problems with hidden debris under leaves. it was so nice!. an hour and 15 minutes about, my timer didn't start for some reason. did two shorter sessions of...

I hate to sound like my parents but somehow popular music lost me with hip hop, rap. im sure there must be decent music around but im stuck in the past. its like there is just a narrow range that sounds like "music" to me and most of it is just noise. not going off on a tirade. i have...

We did our local park walk this morning. 1 hr 20 minutes. it isnt raining right now, misting a little. lots of debris in the water. lots of flooded areas. we can go to this area without getting into any problem roads. the mountains are a long distance away, so it takes a while for the...

the balance disks they had at PT were more inflated than ours. ours are probably about half. its worth experimenting to see how much air works for you if you want to use them like this. when back of my head indents the cushion, the lower part plumps up to support my neck. i did bridges...

Carolyn I have a very thick yoga mat, a good inch, and sometimes it's fine with the cushion on top and others times i put it along the end of the mat. depends on what im doing. i tried the sider disks and different pillows but thi is the first thing that worked. it stays in place too. i...

I am doing bridges. when i first did them i had my legs on a 50 cm ball and my neck got sore immediately. i stopped doing them because of that. then they had me try doing bridges by just lifting up from the hips and holding a few seconds. my neck still was bothered. i had tried several...

when i was doing my therapy work recently i accidentally picked up the balance cushion from recent workouts. the round inflated one. i use it for balance practice regularly. doing crunch type exercises or bridges, it makes a fantastic head cushion. it cradles your head and neck ( or...

Did stacked upper body along with 10 spinning to warm up, and then ten on the elliptical. haven't used the elliptical for a long time. my back gets achy on it so I'm better off not doing it for too long. I'm going to use it more regularly now that its so darn wet. im trying to work out a...

DH and i mt biked the neighborhood late this morning. weather has been pretty dismal lately and is supposed to basically rain for the next week. there will be flooding. so it mostly stopped raining so we went for a mt bike ride for 40 minutes. turned out dry all afternoon. not the...

i got the soft foam roller. i thought it would work. DH took one look at what i was doing and said it was dangerous to my back fusion. sigh.... cant win here! i will hold on to it until i see PT next week. it is a lot softer and feels ok. its raining and looks like it will rain forever...

tee hee thanks so much cathy! we will likely catch up soon. this week looks wet and colder. plenty of precip has fallen but its been a little warmer than usual, but more to come. driving here was ok even over all the passes. north cascades is highest and usually closes nov 17 but...

If the soft roller doesnt work, there is a super soft one too. we'll see when it gets here. we tried a hike in mountains this morning and got in a short one. took snow gear but very little snow so didnt need it. hiked uphill for about 30 min to the end of the route, but came right...
