Today I did CDorner Low Impact High Intensity all standing, 50 minutes, heart rate 114/134, 208 calories, 6,092 steps. I also did Raw Abs Circuits, 18 minutes, heart rate 89/116, 47 calories, 59 steps. Total time was 68 minutes, 255 calories, 6,151 steps.
Abs Circuits was 8 exercises then repeat 2 more times. I did the low plank and the plank walk in walk out and was okay with it. This evening my rib cage is sore again, so I am guessing the ab work did it. I am getting stronger in the area again. I rushed around to get done this morning and had groceries delivered instead of going out because I was supposed to have work done on sprinklers today. They had problems with another job and had to postpone till next week.
Debbie, I put something behind my back above my hip bone too. It helps me keep from slouching and my shoulders stay up and back. I hope you continue to improve and feel better when you go back to work. I have not noticed my heart rate dropping from a higher heart rate when I stop a workout. I usually have done a cooldown before I stop the workout though. I do not seem to get my heart rate that high often. In fact, it is often on the low end when I look at it while working out. Today's workout was pretty active, and I added jacks in one part that she said you could add if you want. I need to try some older workouts that I used to get 300 plus calories and 150's for a high. Just so I can see if it is still lower.
I always liked Olivia Newton John's music. It is amazing how long she fought breast cancer.
I hope things go well when you see a cardiologist. Mine just monitors my leaky valve and stuff.
Jolie, that is great that the gun helped get those knots loosened up. I am glad you were able to do a workout. I hope things continue to get better for you. Those traps sure do cause a lot of pain. I was a bit surprised when I picked up the 25# dumbbell for the rows and it did not bother that much. I did lower to 20 though second set as it was a bit hard the last couple of reps and I did not want to push through it. I will get there eventually. I would have picked up 30's for the squats, but my fan was sitting on them. I did not want to stop and move things around. I refused having the ceiling fan put back up in that room as it is in the way when I am stepping. The only ones I worried about was the bench press and at 10# I was okay which is up from the 8's I have been doing. I can tell I am getting some strength back and am getting less and less pain in those areas that were hurting so bad after even PT. I even have been able to get in some planks. I am still having issues with chest and shoulders on push up or push up into a down dog. Doing moves that hurt my neck and shoulders are not worth it if it leads back to no sleep and pain. It is 7 months since surgery next week. They told me 6 months and average to feel completely back to normal is 9-12 months. I really think all of the working out prior and supplements has helped with healing.
I hope your husband is getting better. He needs doesn't need to get any other sickness on top of that.
I don't think we have heard from Doreen at all this month. Hope things are okay.
Cam, good luck with your dog training. I like that, Daisy bootcamp
Mine is annoying me right now as she wants to go nuts every time the next-door neighbors two little dogs go outside in their yard and start barking. They are small terrier dogs and Gertie is a lab. She starts barking like crazy and jumping on the fence. I make her stop and go back in the house. Thinking I am going to have to go back to a training collar. Why she does it, I have no clue. She is fine with my son's dog around. Maybe it is because she cannot see the dogs.
