Today I am short on time, I have a Chiro appointment to get to early today. My low back is bothering me, so it is time for an adjustment. Today I did Shoulders, my own workout and added leg extensions at the end. I had a good workout and stretch at the end as well as my PT exercises. I did not wear my watch, no need to track calories with such a short workout. I had a 30 second rest between sets.

Debbie, great job on the workout today. I will have to try that one soon. I am lifting a little heavier and slower lately and it is working out great for me. My PT said that lifting heavier and slower is a better option for me as I get older, go figure. High reps can cause a lot of muscle and tissue issue, which I have been experiencing, so I am going back to it to see how I do. When I used to lift heavy and low reps, I did not seem to have all of these issues. Also, I have overtrained as well, I am now shortening my workouts and adding more steps per day.
Belinda, have you ever tried Prolotherapy injections into your knees? This works very well, I have done it a lot in my life and it rejuvenates collagen and tissue because they inject stem cells into you. Look into it, it is also great for Arthritis.
Doreen, great ride through Japan!!! I bet that was an interesting workout.
Cam, I remember doing Michelle's workout you did yesterday, those were really good workouts. I still have some Christmas shopping to do myself, we better get on it!!!
Diane Sue, your ladies game day sounds like a lot of fun. I especially like getting together with a group of people for the holidays, potlucks and things like that. However, I do not get to do that much anymore because I stopped working and that is where I use to do it. I hope you get in a nice workout today.
Roselyn, I hope you have a nice workout today. What is the ETA of the new Grand Baby?
Make it a great day.
