I didn't really feel like working out this morning. But I made myself get up and do "something". I settled on a GHUTV treadmill and upper body workout. Intervals of walking/jogging on the TM for 15 minutes and then 15 mintues of Upperbody weights.

Today I was short on time so did Cathe Live Low Impact Cardio sweat and Core, 49 minutes, 254 calories, heart rate 133/165, 2,514 steps. My Fitbit did better today for some reason. I felt it was really loose, but sometimes even loose it does not pick up right. I never understand. I checked out yesterdays live, but when I saw Cathe up in the air I decided I had enough impact for a few days. Also was not ready to do boxing yet. Although this low impact has a few moves I had to be careful of. I really wanted to do some weights for upper, but a bit sore yet this morning, but better. Sleep was sound from around 1-5 then I woke and could not fall back asleep. I really wanted too. I used a vital proteins sleep shot along with New Chapter Magnesium with ashwagandha. You would think I would stay asleep.

Belinda, I am sorry the ent was not so encouraging. I think some doctors give worst case so patients realize the seriousness of things. Better encouraging though as that helps the patient feel positive and less stressed which helps them to deal with it. Hoping they find things are not so bad and can be treated. Nice work with the Christmas workouts.

Doreen, I always do something even when I get up and do not feel like it. I usually feel better once I have gotten through it. I just try to find something fun.

Good morning,

Step Sync and SBF LB band target + Booty 2 all done.

Diane - thanks and I agree about the doctors. I hope the CT scan shows sinus related problems nothing else. Cathe can jump I did noticed in her live she shows more low impact option. Great job yesterday.

Doreen - when I don't feel like working out I go for a walk outside. At least I feel like I did something. Great job.

Have a great Saturday, everyone.

Today I did Live Jingle all the Way 277, 53 minutes, 196 calories, 112/165 heart rate, 2,653 steps. I did the cardio twice which was 10 minutes so that other 10 minutes was 54 calories. I forgot to start my Fitbit back up after pausing at the end of the warm up. When I finished the cardio I realized what I had done so did it again and figured how many calories for the amount of time spent, if that makes since. So add 54 more calories. I then did Perfect 30 Flow mobility stretch timesaver, 20 minutes, 23 calories, heart rate 80/107. Total time 83 minutes, 273 calories, 2,711 steps + whatever I got for steps for the first 10 minutes which I bet was over 1000. At the end of workout I was at 4,819 steps.

Belinda, yes, Cathe does seem to be making more suggestions for moves that are hard for some to do and adds low impact alternatives. Or like the one I did yesterday with the squat thrust/surfer move she recommended something else for those who do not like that move.
I went through part of the Thursday workout this morning checking format and it did not look like a lot of high impact and mostly weights so I will keep it in mind. I really am hoping my shoulders are better next week as I want to do some more of Kelly's heavy bag and strength workouts that she just did. There is no impact in those. My silly shoulders are limiting me a lot.

Hi,

Tomorrow I have an early appointment with the orthopedist. I did STS Week 2 D4 CSB today. Had an excellent workout. I also did SBF D7 Christmas Stretch = 32 min. Felt great after STS.

Diane - sorry to hear you still dealing with your shoulders. I had a shoulder injure took forever to heal. Great job on your workout yesterday. Looks amazing!

I will be back tomorrow after my appointment. Have a great Sunday.

Today I did perfect 30 strength and flexibility stretch timesaver skipping the last 3 minutes as I had to get ready for church. I am hoping to get something in the next 3 days, but not sure if that is possible. I can't let the housework go just in case someone wants to look at the house. Not sure how many people are going to be looking at houses during the Christmas season though. I guess we are going to look at some next weekend. My husband has a pod being delivered the end of this next week so that we can load it with a bunch of extra things around here to a start and get rid of clutter.

Belinda, nice work today. I love a good stretch after a weight workout. I hope tomorrow is helpful for you.

Hi,

I did SBF UB Core Circuit = 31 min plus I went for a walk.

Went to see orthopedist this morning. He wants me to get knee gel injections on both knees. If that doesn't help I need surgery on my knees. I try anything before I get surgery. He wants me to avoid deep squats/lunges. I can do baby squats. He also don't want me to walk on concrete. Not sure what I am going to do now? Maybe I buy very cushion shoes. I hate to give up my walking. He said, I can use an elliptical/or a bike. Keep everything low impact/no twisting/stair climbing. We have a lot of stairs in our house.

Diane - good luck with the house. I hope you sell soon. My son is moving to TX the end of Jan. I am not happy about that at all. I am worry about covid. I am so sorry you have to go through a move right now. That can't be fun. My son is also getting a pod delivered. I don't want to think about him leaving. Makes me sad.

Have a great evening.

Today I did Perfect 30 Low Impact Hiit, 31 minutes, 152 calories, heart rate 119/160, 2884 steps.
That is all I had time for. It was a busy day. Tomorrow I will take a rest day. My neck is better today, but still even doing low impact, bouncing around hurt a bit.

Belinda, do you have an elliptical or bike? I am sure it is upsetting. I know you will make it work somehow. I don't blame you for feeling sad about your son moving. Is it for work? You have had your children fairly close.

 

[dmerz]

Belinda- maybe you can visit TX!! Hope you can figure out a way to keep your walks - I know you enjoy them.

Diane - good job on P30 LI!

This morning was double step. I love it- so much fun and she does no jumping. The other stepper will sometimes show a high impact modification but I'm so busy watching the instructor I don't see the HI modifications.

 

[bayerngirl]

Hi everyone,

STS W1 D5 Back/Triceps is done. I also did SBF D9 Standing/Mat Lower Body = 24 min plus Christmas Tight and Seat Target = 7 min. I am done for today.

Diane - no, I don't have an elliptical or bike. I will make it work, I always do. El Paso is very far, I can't fly to see my son not with covid spiking everywhere. I wish he would stay until the virus calms down. Not it's not for work. Him and his wife work for my DD company. My DD own her own PR/marketing company in DC. Him and his wife have to come back for work in DC. I wouldn't moved. I am also feeling sad him moving while I am dealing with RP. Not sure what they both are thinking. Be carful with your neck.

Have a great day and workout.

 

[WD]

Belinda, I am sorry that your son has decided to move at such a bad time for you. Their cost of living would probably be less in Texas. But, having to travel all of the time for work seems like a costly under taking. Sometimes it is hard to understand the decision making. I guess he has some specific reasoning for moving? Don't let it cause you too much anxiety. I am sure things will work out and eventually travel will be okay. Maybe you can get together when he is in DC for work.

 

[dmerz]

This morning I did a paper workout from #FastPhysique, Chest workout (bench press pryamid up in reps from 12, 9, 6, 3 and then back down adding weight up) Then the written workout had a 4 round circuit of chest but I did RAW Strength Day 2 - Chest and Tri (which was mostly the same exercises on the written circuit) Good strength training for today - I think I will be sore.

yesterday I went through the Get Healthy U TV site and added a bunch of the workouts I want to try to a playlist. I need to see if there is a history so I can keep track of the ones I've done.

 

[bayerngirl]

Hi everyone,

Today I SBF D10 Barre Hiit Circuit w/Louder Music = 39 min. This one was very low impact. Perfect for today. I also did the exercises I am suppose to do 3 times a week. My plan was going for a walk today, I did Clean Max instead.

Diane - my son's wife's family are all in El Paso. My DIL been wanting to move closer to her family. They couldn't give me a house for free. I wouldn't move down there, lol. I was stationed twice in El Paso. I was happy when we left. Yes, having to travel to DC is a huge undertaking. I think they both are nuts for moving during covid They bought a house already. They will close in a few day's. That's his plan staying with us when he and his wife come for work. We shall see!

Doreen - glad you enjoy Chris Freytags streaming. I still have a lot of her dvd's.

Good night, everyone.

Doreen, good workout choices today. It would be nice to have a list so you can check them off as you go.

Belinda, you never know how things will work out. They may find it does not work out as well as hoped. Our imaginations of how something will be are usually more than what we get. I try not to worry about how things will be as they are never how I imagine, if you know what I mean. I am not looking forward to moving as right now I am near my doctors and shopping is right around the corner along with the library and park. I could walk to the stores and library if I wanted to. I wouldn't though. I do not like change very much.

 

[dmerz]

This morning I did GHUTB Step Strength with Jodi. And wowza! She put together a great workout - very metabolic, high reps and combos. Lots of lunges and squats off the step - no cardio.

Diane - good job on heavy bag and arms - I'll have to remember to try that one.

Belinda - I just can't imagine commuting that much for work - and having to fly back and forth.

 

[bayerngirl]

Good morning,

STS W1 Legs is done.

Diane - I agree, on how things will not work out. I need to learn not to worry so much. Good advice not to worry on things you can't control. I am sorry you are not looking forward moving. I am sure once you moved into your new house you love it. I am not moving anytime soon either especially having a problem with RP. All my doctors are close. I am in good hands. Nice job this morning.

Doreen - I know, right? I honestly don't know what those 2 are thinking? I tried talking to both of them. They got it all figured out. I tired Good job this morning.

I will try to go for a walk later once it warms up outside. BBL!

I forgot to post my workout this morning. I did Cathe Live #78 Power Step, 41 minutes, 192 calories, heart rate 117/155, 3,690 steps. I also did Perfect 30 mobility basics core focus, 15 minutes, heart rate 85/4, 18 calories, 50 steps. Total time56 minutes, 210 calories, 3,708 steps.

Doreen, nice work today. I am sure you will be feeling that one.

Belinda, it is nice that you are close to all of your doctors and that they are really good ones. I know I will probably like the new home, just not the trying to get used to a whole new area, finding my way around, and all of the work of moving. Plus my ladies group almost all live in the area I am in now.

 

[WD]

This morning I did Cathe Live#325 40/20 Low Impact Hiit, 41 minutes , 127/159 heart rate, 210 calories, 3,458 steps.
Perfect 30 mobility basics stretch premix, 21 minutes, 21 calories, heart rate 80/99, 37 steps. Total time 62 minutes, 231 calories, 3,495. I really liked the Low Impact Hiit. Cathe keeps the intensity up well. There is a short segment midway with gliding discs that can be done without as they are mountain climbers, jacks, and typical moves.

 

[bayerngirl]

Hi everyone,

I went to my appointment with the Audiology went well. No damage or hearing problem from all those ear infections/RP problems I have. I hope it stays that way. My Rheumatologist is running a bunch of base line test for RP. I have a CT scan tomorrow. I pray I have a good outcome too.

I did a short SBF UB/core workout.

Diane - I hear you on moving and not familiar with the area. I am sorry you are going through this. You are used to your current area and friends. Maybe talk your husband out of moving. Yes, moving is a lot of work.

Good night.

 

[WD]

Today I did Coffey Fit Raw Step and Legs which is one of my favorites. It is so much fun. I tried 17.5 lb the first set of legs and dropped to 15's the rest. 1# dumbbells for the egg weights. Total time 46 minutes, 231 calories, heart rate 125/165, 3,893 steps.

Belinda, I hope your CT goes well and is helpful tomorrow. We are heading out soon to look at some houses.
