Good morning,

II am up early to get my workout in before PT. I did JS TB. We had so much fun with DD yesterday. The massage was one of the best I ever had. Very princely but she worked on my knots in my shoulder. The salt cave was very relaxing. The owner said the salt cave for 45 min is like being on the beach for 4 days. I knew the beach was always good for me, lol. It cleared my sinus.

Diane - thank for the link. I will check it out later. Great job with Killer Legs premix warm up barre and stretch plus Myra upper body stretch/pilates. Hopefully the meds will help. Yes, it’s sad we have to lighten our workouts to fit our needs. I am ok with it for now. Hopefully it will not be for much longer. I am hoping with the laser surgery my eyes will improve.

Debbie - great job on Raw Box bands and abs. Glad to hear your mom could see so quickly after surgery. I hope I will do.


I will catch up on personals later. I have to get ready.

Wow, November already. Ykes!

This morning I did STS 2.0 Body Parts Back and had an excellent workout. I upped my Pendlay rows this time and I probably could have gone a bit heavier. I love this workout.

This is how it went - 1 minute (for the most part) rest between exercises

Straight Arm Banded Pulldown: 15# bands - 2 sets/12 reps
Double Bar Inverted Rows: I did overhand band pulls - 50# bands - 8 reps
Single Bar Chin up: I did underhand band pulls - 50# bands - 8 reps
Double Bar Inverted Rows: I did overhand Band pulls - 50# bands - 8 reps
Single Bar Chin up: I did underhand Band pulls - 50# bands - 8 reps
R/L Kneeling One Arm Row: 30# - 10 sets
R/L Kneeling One Arm Row: 30# - 10 sets
Barbell Pullover/Band Pull Apart superset: 30#DB/20# band - 2 sets/10 & 12 reps
Barbell Pendlay Row/Shrugs: 45#/10's - 3 sets 8 & 10 reps
Band Close Grip Pulldowns: 45# bands - 2 sets/10 reps
Seated T-Band Pulls: 15# band - 12 reps
Superman swimmers: I did regular supermans, no swimmers

Workout was 45 minutes, burned 205 calories, HR was 103/137. My Garmin's battery was only at 10%, I forgot to charge it last night. It stayed on during my workout and then I plugged it in while I was getting ready for work. I need to charge it all the way later this evening. I didn't even realize it was time to charge it already.

Diane - Thank you so much for that video, I will share it with my brother. Interesting how that can help. Have you used it yet? I really hope it helps alleviate your pain.

Roxie - I hope your dog is doing better. Make sure he doesn't get dehydrated, that can be dangerous for them. Take him to the vets today if he isn't better. Yikes!! We had four kids show up at our house last night. Wasn't even raining. :rolleyes:

Belinda - Glad you had so much fun yesterday! That sounds like a day in heaven to me!! Sweet!

Where's Jolie?

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

I forgot to check in yesterday, life is very busy for me at the moment. Yesterday, I did CL All In Upper Body and had a great workout. I have no calorie burn for this workout, my fitness tracker watch is not charging! Oh well, it was inexpensive so I did not think that it would last more than a year. Today I took the pup for a 3 mile walk through the hills, the leaves are turning, and it was a pretty walk. I am off to get my hair highlighted, I cannot wait to have it done, it always brightens me up!

Debbie, great job on the body parts workout today, the weights you are lifting are impressive. I have really backed off on the heavy weights and now I have so little back issues and less trips to the chiropractor. It is almost election day, and I am so nervous because you know the Dems will cheat like always!

Belinda, nice job on the workout and boy does that message sound wonderful!

I hope you have a great workout today and a great day!

This morning i did CDorner step aerobics #427, 48 minutes, 261 calories, heart rate 137/162. 3,912 steps. I followed this with CDorner day 5 mobility challenge neck and shoulder stretch, 16 minutes, 25 calories. I also used the back pod again. I raised the time for each area to 45 sec(it says 30-60) I want to do this carefully so I do not overdo. The booklet says to do up the middle of the back , then do about 2 inch out from center. Never go up into the neck or below the ribs. IT also says most problems are around the shoulder area so concentrate on that area. It did help last night and right now I hardly feel anything. The idea is to break up the tight locked up areas then when it is better do it around once a week. Also if firmer work is needed the pod can be turned sideways for tightest area. Can do 1-3 minutes. They also give a couple of strengthening exercises and stretch. They are familiar moves to me. I did them as well. I am wondering if this will help get rid of that knot that is in the back of my shoulder most of the time. Interestingly it is on the same side the costochondritis is.

Belinda, nice work on the JS total body this morning before PT. The Salt Caves and massage sounds wonderful.

Debbie, great job on STS2 Back today.

Jolie, nice work on yesterday's CL all in upper body and your walk in the hills today.
 
Good Afternoon,

I went for a 2.74 mile walk after work today. The Christmas music started today in our store and so did the shopping.

Today I did CL #229 Awesome Upper Body and had a great workout. This workout was 52 minutes and it is a fast high rep workout. I had to pause a few times just to slow down my rep speed, I have no idea why Cathe goes so fast, this is how injuries happen. I am getting very bored with my workouts lately. I wish I could find something new but I cannot seem to find what I am looking for. Maybe I should try Les Mills again or Yvette Bachman but taking those easy because they are damn hard. I see all these people doing Sculpt Society but those do not look good to me. Any suggestions for me?

Diane Sue, great job with the workout and the stretching yesterday. I hope you feel good today.

Roxie, Christmas is in full swing, it is all about making money not the birth of Jesus anymore. It is amazing how materialistic the world has become since we were kids. Nice job on the walk.

I hope you all have good workouts today.

Today I did CDorner Day 5 full body warm up stretch, 18 minutes and went on for 40 minutes doing stretches for costochondritis, some from a Pilates site till she started bending her back way over a foam roller and I stopped, and did the back pod moves and the stretch and strengthen moves in the back pod book, plus a few more thoracic stretches (trying to prevent discomfort from trying to break up the locked up area in the spine on the back. That is it for me today. I did start hurting in one area during the night. Okay after the work today. It says if you get sore maybe do it every other day. Tomorrow I will probably try a little cardio and legs again. No lifting at this point. I spent more time reading about costochondritis and they say worst exercise for it is dips then bench press. I knew bench press bothers me as well as flies. Coughing can cause costochondritis. I was coughing so hard my husband kept asking if I was okay. Nothing works and now I am sneezing.

Jolie, nice work on CL #229 Awesome Upper Body today. It seems every time I injure myself I am doing weight work that is too fast. Maybe we push the weights a bit too heavy? I don't know.

Rosie, nice job on the walk.
 
Hi,

I went for a nice hike today. I also did lower body stretch.

Diane - I am so sorry about your coughing. I hope you feel better soon.

Great job everyone on your workouts.

Have a great weekend.

Today I did CDorner Fast Step Aerobics #427, 28 minutes, 143 calories, heart rate 132/155. I then started with STS 2 mobility 1 stopped at the prone work (forgot all of that) and went on to do Jessica Smith Gentle Yoga chest and back, 31 minutes, spent 46 calories. Time was 59 minutes, 189 calories. I also did the back pod and stretch and strengthen moves suggested. strengthen is lying down chin tucked and lifting head off floor and holding doing it 10 times, then the other is lying prone arms down to the sides and lifting chest a bit while doing a scap squeeze in back. Stretch is just the tilt head and hold the stretch with hand on head one arm to side. Same thing I do all of the time. There is also a work on posture stance ears over the point of the shoulder. My pain is so much better. Not so much pain now as just a bit achy here and there. Arthritis does not really go away. Coughing is making me crazy.

Belinda, the hike sounds nice. Nice work on getting the stretch in too. I hope today was a good day. Last night I did not get woke up with the rib pain. I got woke up with the coughing and thunderstorms all night :rolleyes: My dog come busting in the room for me to save her from the thunder. So she hung out by the bed.

Roselyn, nice work with cardio Hiit yesterday and today's lower body sts1.

Roxie, good job getting in a walk today. Sorry the rain didn't let you get out yesterday.
 
Good morning,

Yesterday I did a nice stretch that’s it. I have infusion this morning. I will not get my workout in until later this afternoon.

Diane - glad you starting to feel better. Those exercise you describing my PT has me doing. Sorry the crouching and thunder woke you up all night long. I hope you got some sleep last night.

Roselyn - nice job on your cardio and STS1 LB.

Roxie - great job with your walk. Hopefully you get a walk in today. I will try to.

Gotta get ready. BBl
