Hardcore Fitness Maniacs April 2026

[WD]

Friday I did CDorner Low Impact Aerobics 80's/90's . 32 minutes, 182 calories. Saturday I did Senior Shape Strength 1 Dumbbell using a 12# dumbbell and following with a mobility stretch, 45 minutes, 168 calories. No workouts Sunday and Monday. We had errands to do and a family get together.
Today I did LMR Elevated #2 Upper Body Strength: biceps, back, and shoulders, 43 minutes, 148 calories, heart rate 97/129 and Senior Shape Low Impact Cardio: Pilates Inspired, 26 minutes, 120 calories, heart rate 108/133. Total Time 69 minutes, 268 calories.

Debbie, I am sorry you are still dealing with the problem. I remember having something like that and it lasted quite a while. I would sit down in the car and would almost jump back out of the seat because it hurt so much in that position. I took a pillow and would sit on it with my hip leaned at an angle to try and help. I don't know why those things happen so quickly and take forever to get rid of.

Belinda, nice work on Cathe Live 589 Glute Camp and Pilates Balance and Strength. Pilates sure does help with balance and posture. I only ordered a month of on Demand with Live.

Jolie, I am glad you got your mother all settled in at assisted living. I hope she really likes it there. I am sure it was hard for you.

Roselyn, nice work on the Sprint intervals and legs. Age does cause a lot of things and being tired more often is a usual thing. Probably because older people do not generally sleep all that well at night. My Dad was always falling asleep in his chair. I am sort of in between being that old, I think, and where the rest of you are

Hi all. Still not working out. Even though I feel better about 90% of the time, the issue is not gone. Every time I get in my car and drive the pain comes back. I don't get it because I can sit on everything else without an issue. I have a physical on the 28th and I will ask my doctor to give me a script to go to my PT person. I need to find out what exercises I can do to get this to heal.

So for now I'm taking it easy and I hate it. I feel like such a slug. I'm getting good steps in each day, but still hate not working out. This sucks.

Hope all of you are doing great. Nice job on all your workouts!!!

Debbie that is when my hip hurt the most my PT said my legs need to be at a 90 degrees angle and my lumbar needs to be supported and my core strengthened

My mom's doing OK today just still pretty weak from spending all day in an ER trying to tell her she needs to eat a little more for her body to work properly. We did get her a probiotic which may help her.

Yesterday was a leg day today, upper body Work my husband had total shoulder replacement surgery yesterday so we got that going on too

Debbie, hope you're pain gets addressed

OK, I have to say that dealing with our aging parents is aging me!!! It is always something. Today my mom and the caregiver are picking up my dad's ashes, I did not want to go and do that. I have yet to grieve and I think that would put me over the edge and I need some peace in my life right now. This is what I have done for workouts this week.
Monday, Chiropractor appointment so I just walked 3 miles in the hills with the pup.
Tuesday, 3 mile walk in the am, 2 mile walk in the pm.
Today, 4.3-mile interval run on the elliptical, I was soaking wet when I was finished. I did my own workout afterwards which included Chest and Triceps. I love doing cardio again and then adding some heavy weight work at the end while I am cooling down. I want to shed some fat and get my cardiovascular health back to where it was years ago. I have to say, it is really helping me with my anxiety.

Debbie, I am so glad to hear that the pain is going away. Sometimes we just have to give our bodies a rest and then you will come back even stronger and feeling great! Enjoy your walking because steps are so important for us too.

Roselyn, I get it with our parents. How old is your mother. My mom is 89 years old but acts like she is 30! She really is doing well except for skin issues and high blood pressure.

Diane Sue, you are coming up with some good workouts to do. I like the variety of the workouts you are choosing to do.

Belinda, nice job with the Pilates workout and the zoom classes yesterday! I have yet to ever do a Pilates workout, I would love to try a reformer class one day.

Off to walk the pup. Have a wonderful day.
