Pentagenarians & Beyond: August 10, 2025

This morning I did Live Kickbox Cardio Crush. Not a fan of the workouts that have compound weight exercises in the middle, so I did extra cardio drills instead. Then I did Pyramid Pump Upper Body. Nick is at the airport. Have a few more things to do before I go get him.
 
Yesterday I did CDorner Step Latin Flare 32minutes, calories and heart rate were off because I accidentally push yoga and the Garmin gave me low heart rate and burn till the last 11 minutes when I stopped and hit cardio. Anyway, calories according to both added together was 142. It makes no sense that heart rate would be so much different for yoga when doing cardio. I finished off with LITE Pyramid Pump Triceps and Biceps with warm up and stretch, 19 minutes, 110 calories, heart rate 122/150. The pyramid superset body parts do not take long, and I get in some decent weights. Total time 51 minutes, calories? Steps 3,615. My neck and upper back really hurt all night. I hope it gets better.

Cathy, nice work on Live Kickbox Cardio Crush and Pyramid Pump Upper Body.
 
Today I did my weekly yoga/mobility for 18 minutes. My middle daughter, her husband, and son are here for another short weekend visit. Granddaughter didn’t come because it’s her first weekend in her dorm at her new school. She is attending the state’s school for math and science, a residential program, for her last two years of high school. They are all gearing up for the new academic year, so this is a very short trip.

Diane, nice job with CDorner Low Impact Aerobics and LMR cardio. My knee is still bothering me a bit and I’m careful with cross back lunges.

Cathy, great job with Live Cardio Core Express, STS Total Body Stretch, LMR Low Impact Cardio, and Bun Burners Barre and Ball.

Valerie, your intense dislike for monkeys is interesting.

Hello to Judy.
 
Today I did a 45-minute Peloton Full Body Strength workout. The half bath remodel is finally done. The contractors finished all of their work on Friday and we are very happy with it. Our new bedroom furniture is being delivered on Thursday. Hopefully we will be done with remodeling and house projects for a while.

Cathy-Great job with Live Kickbox Cardio Crush and Pyramid Pump Upper Body. I agree, I don’t like having weights in the middle of a cardio workout. That’s why I don’t care for the Peloton boot camp classes.

Diane Sue-Great job with CDorner Step Latin Flare 3 and LITE Pyramid Pump Triceps and Biceps with warm up and stretch. I’m sorry about your neck and upper back. I hope you feel better today.

Carolyn-Great job with your yoga/mobility workout. That’s nice that you have family visiting this weekend. I’m sure they are very busy getting ready for the academic year. I can’t believe how fast this summer is going.

Hi to Valerie
 
Didn't sleep well, and I have had slight headache since late last night. I really think it's because I didn't eat enough yesterday. Now, it was a rare day when I actually ate the number of calories that Cronometer thinks I should eat, but that's too low for me. So, this morning Iate my regular breakfast which is about 550 calories and normally gets me to lunch time with no problem. Today, I was still hungry. Ended up eating 3 dates, still hungry. Hoping to make it another 45 minutes, but wow, haven't been this hungry in a long time. Had my normal amount of water yesterday and so far I've had about 1 1/2 quarts today. I really don't think I caught what DH has because it just doesn't have that feel. It's been a long time since I've had a hunger headache, but the only time I get headaches is from lack of food or water. I did end up doing Killer Legs Barre. Looked at the 2nd heavy weight LMR2 that's now available On Demand, and wow not kidding about the heavy weights. If at some point I do it, I will not be going that heavy.

Carolyn enjoy your visitors.

Judy that's great that your remodeling is wrapping up.

Diane Sue, I've always wondered, big picture why it mattered what workout you put in a fitness watch, because heart rate should be the primary decider.

Hi Valerie.
 
This morning I did Rev’d Up Rumble, 41 minutes, 290 calories, average heart rate 135, maximum heart rate 177. Family left this morning so it’s quiet around here.

Judy, nice job with the Peloton Full Body strength workout. It’s great that your remodeling projects are coming to completion.

Cathy, good job with Killer Legs Barre. I can get a headache from skipping meals. It’s a balancing act between eating enough food but not overeating. And feeling satisfied with what you’re eating.

Hello to Diane Sue and Valerie.
 
Today I went for a 20-minute walk outside and did about an hour of very easy Peloton rides. I woke up with a headache and didn’t feel like doing much until later in the morning.

Cathy-I didn’t eat that much yesterday or the day before either so that might have contributed to my headache. I usually get headaches from being dehydrated or from sinus/allergy issues.

Carolyn-Great job with Rev’d Up Rumble.

Hi to Diane Sue & Valerie
 
Today I did RWH Chest, Triceps, and Shoulders, 2 sets no finishers. My time was 32 minutes with 85 calories burned, average heart rate 204, and maximum heart rate 130.

Judy, I’m sorry that you woke up with a headache. I wonder if the air quality had anything to do with it. Nice job with your walk outside, and easy Peloton ride.

Hello to Cathy, Diane Sue, and Valerie.
 
Valerie, I hope that your health issues are resolved soon.

Today I did KCM’s Cardio Quick Fix workout one. That was 26 minutes, 169 calories burned, average heart rate 124, and maximum heart rate 157.
