Good morning -
Roselyn - Good workout this morning. You get a lot done during the time I'm stumbling around the kitchen just trying not to break/spill anything, remember who I am ... that sort of thing
Theresa - I laughed about you and the Gymboss directions. Do you have a low tolerance for things that come with instructions? I just ask because I do - especially gadgets. If it’s any help, even I did ok with the gymboss instructions. After a couple run throughs it was pretty simple and the basics are written on the back clip. Using it for stretching was inspired by DS. He is very tight (I think in part because he‘s growing so fast and his muscles haven’t caught up with his bones - could that be?). We’ve found stretches he likes for the muscle groups he needs to work on (most all of them) but he likes to stretch in his room listening to his Ipod and doesn’t like to count how long to hold them (don’t blame him). So I set the Gymboss for him originally and put it on vibrate so he could FEEL when it was time to change and still have his music. Not so brilliant at all - cuz he’s been doing this for several months (and it has helped) -- only just now considered doing it myself on days I don't have time/drive for a full yoga workout. HAPPY to hear that the Weight Watcher's is a good fit. You sound so optimistic and just ... GOOD
Teddy - I had a bad stitch in my side and decided to work "through" it/tough it out
. Ended up ticking off a muscle in my upper thigh - pretty sure I used it to compensate for the work my abs should have been doing (but couldn’t, as they were too busy screaming). It really isn’t a full blown injury, but I don’t want it to become one either. It feels a lot better and I’m pretty hopeful I can get back to the Insanity workouts sometime around the beginning of next week (I’m thinking Tuesday). I’m avoiding deep hip flexion and impact. That rules out a lot of the workouts I’d been into, including most leg work. Your attitude sounds really good, too. I am working on mine
Diane Sue - Glad F & F finally came and glad you liked it. I usually feel so good after that one. Laughed about Olivia and the judo rolls. Sometimes Skyler threatens to get in my way (she likes yoga too - her downward dog is flawless), but I don’t suppose it would work to give Olivia a bone or put her in the backyard and tell her to bark at the squirrels. She’s adorably funny and you are uncannily patient. That’s a good team you two make there
Yesterday, I did a mix of Slow and Heavy with add ons from A. Bento's Slo Mo for back and triceps. Felt like I got in some very good work. I also did 40 minutes of yoga (MTV). Today, I will do some sprinting on my bike (trainer) and shoulders. I'm wondering about trying some weight work for legs this weekend. It might be a good way to 'test' my leg and be sure it's really forgiven me. I'll see how I do today.
I hope you all have a good day.
Lori
