This morning I did Perfect Pump Upper Body and clearly my spree of Metabolic workouts have not aided me in lifting heavier. There are only a few things that I use the weight she does on that workout, and today even my usual weight was a struggle at times. So, I'm reassessing what I'm doing.
DH is leaving early tomorrow morning, for an overnight meeting and won't be back until Tuesday afternoon. So, I'll be pulling out some tubs and seeing what more I can get rid of.

Today I did Jane Adams Gentle Yoga for 18 minutes. Yesterday was a rest day and I went to the Farmer’s Market.
Valerie, nice job with riding the bike in your neighborhood and Stacked Sets Upper Body.
Cathy, good job with walking at the zoo, Live Boxing HiiT 2, Live Weight Plates and Abs, Restorative yoga, and Perfect Pump Upper Body. I think of metabolic workouts as more endurance building.

Yesterday I did LMR 2 Heavy Weights Lower Body, 51 minutes, 173 calories, heart rate 101/147. I liked it. I followed it with CDorner Stretch and Reset gentle flow and stretch (no planks or down dog wrist friendly) 32 minutes, 72 calories. Total time 83 minutes, 245 calories.
I did not get anything in Friday and Saturday. My daughter was taken to the hospital in a lot of pain. After tests it ended up being a colitis infection. They kept her overnight with antibiotic iv. We took her home yesterday. I made some bone broth and took that and jello to her house.
Valerie, nice work on the ride yesterday. That is good that your husband is so dedicated to healing well. My brother was supposed to get a redo on his knee replacement this week, but they postponed it till he gets his dental work done first. They are sending him to a different surgeon as the other one did not do well, and he got mrsa infection. His knee is still swollen and it has been months.
Cathy, good job on Perfect Pump Upper Body. It is hard to lift heavy enough with metabolic workouts to gain a lot of muscle. Have fun with the tubs. My husband goes through his own clear things out of his closet.
Carolyn, good job on doing Jane Adams Gentle Yoga today.
