Today I just did CDorner mobility day 2 seated on a chair neck and shoulders and also did STS 2 chair yoga, + some stretching for upper body and a bit of mobility to loosen up my knee a bit. I mostly kept my legs propped up today, but it sure puts me in odd positions and my back started aching. I did not take any Advil because I was afraid it would up my blood pressure. I did tonight though. I need some rest. It is odd that my blood pressure is in the high zone in the morning and when I take it before be it is normal. Tonight, the high number was 98. I think it is because I have started taking the Qunol blood pressure chews with beets and grape seed along with CoQ10 after dinner because they make me feel drowsy. I read that beet supplements are best taken at night. Maybe I should take on in the morning and one at night. Because of the leaky heart valve, I have to watch the high numbers. After I took the compression sleeve off last night the bruising had run down into my shin area. I sure hope this mends itself.
Debbie, nice work with Raw Boxing/Shadowboxing and TBTS Box and Tone. I really liked the workout I did. Kelly sets out the weight increments in front of the bench so they are easy to reach down and pick up what is needed. She keeps a light pair or egg weights nearby also for boxing between moves. It worked out great. I imagine a person could stand up to do the boxing if needed, but I got a good workout out of it sitting. I really liked it. I avoid salt for the most part because of my issue with Sjogren's. It leaves my mouth so dry it wakes me up at night. I chew gum when I sleep and it literally crumbles because my mouth is so dry. I pay for it when I eat things like salty nuts and eating out. I have been drinking some orange juice mixed with water or an organic tart cherry juice I get from Whole foods that have potassium in them in the mornings lately. I think it helps some.
Belinda, nice work on the Belly Dance today. This is the time of year where we get a lot of windy days. It is supposed to rain tomorrow. My knee has been really painful by the time evening gets here. I think it has been a little better today, but I did succumb to an Advil this evening and have rubbed some stuff called Herbal Manna frankincense DMSO gel on it. Trying to avoid many NSAIDS.

) again. This was 37 minutes, 186 calories, heart rate 126/156. I followed it with Raw Stretch/flow, but stopping where she had her knees on the floor and moving to the end part. I did add a couple of other movements as my right hip flexor is getting really tight. This was still 20 minutes, 33 calories. Total time 57 minutes, 219 calories.
