Today I did Cathe Live 101 Step and Pump Cardio and Blast only, 33 minutes, 169 calories, heart rate 122/165, 3,199 steps. I then starte the Sculpting RX premix cardio and floor, but stopped after 9 minutes when Kelly was ready to go to the floor, moved on to Raw Body Training (33 minutes) which brings me to a total of 42 minutes, 108 calories, heart rate 87/116, 1,827 steps. This was much harder than I expected. I liked the standing portion which was active and targeted lower body, but when I got to the floor which was the last about 13 minutes it was rough. I wore my weighted 4 # vest for the lower(which was a suggested option) and took it off for floor. I did not even get through all of the floor as Kelly did as it was too much on my shoulders. The flip around crunch move was hard to get. I think I could. There was plank/down dog/shoulder push ups; inch worm push ups; close triceps push ups as some of the moves. I stood up and did some triceps kickbacks with light weights. The front of my shoulder is sore now.
Total time was 72 minutes, 277 calories, 5,026 steps.
Doreen, good idea to check emails while getting in some treadmill walking. I sometimes miss having a treadmill. Nice work today.
Belinda, I can see why they would not want you to take supplements at all. I read supplements and side effects along with interactions all of the time as many supplements should be monitored. I write in any that are new when I go to my arthrits doctor, but often wonder if they look at all. The assistant usually talks to me about all of that. Some things bother my stomach and I have to switch or space separate from other things. I have the ones that are with food set for lunch and others on empty stomach mornings. They always tell me to take food with the hydroxychloraquine because it does not make me feel well when I take it. Hence I wait till I have eaten all day and take it with a snack before bed. So far I have not had to take one of the immunosuppressant strong meds. They did offer something else, but when I asked questions and they said I would need to come in and have liver checked and kidneys I told them I would stay with what I have. My daughter was talking about the biologics like Humira and Remicade working well for a lot of people and could slow progression of RA. Her father in law has been on the Remicade and it has helped. I have seen him in so much pain that he was literally pouring sweat. I felt so sorry for him. I hope that what you are taking is working for you as most of them have some rough side effects.
