good morning everyone. hope everyone is getting organized and getting decent weather for celebrations. yesterday we met up with our friends to start planning for a trip to the southwest in april. skipped cardio yesterday and did 2 series of therapy yesterday. this morning we will try mt biking. no clue how the area fared after last weeks windstorm. it was variable with some areas hammered and others just fine. we dont do much at xmas. having our neighbors over tomorrow for happy hour and maybe do a hike or a ride later.
we did a mt bike this morning even tho it was cold windy and raining on and off. 1 hr 20 minutes. then therapy work later . only one tree down after all the wind and rain, at least on the route we used.

Yesterday was a rest day. Today I went to PT in the morning and did a 45-minute Peloton ride in the afternoon. The PT appt went very well. The office I’m going to isn’t covered by our insurance but I have a lot more faith in this office to help me than I did in the last one that was covered by our insurance. Today they did an assessment, some myofascial release/massage work and then gave me a series of stretches and exercises to do at home. I’ll go in once a week for at least a few weeks.
Valerie-Great job with your therapy work and mountain biking.

Yesterday I did a Senior Shape 10 minute Standing Stretches//mobility exercises osteoporosis friendly, 12 minutes. Today I did two workouts from Senior Shape Fitness. First I did Intermediate Weight Training with 1 Dumbbell (35 minute) 42 minutes for adjusting and writing down, 163 calories, heart rate 98/124. The second workout was a fun Cardio Dance Workout//oldies Motown to the beat, 29 minutes, 215 calories, heart rate 141/163. Total time was 72 minutes, 378 calories. I liked these workouts. There was no advertisements on them. She has workouts for different levels. No chatter, just instruction and there is music. I will be trying more of them. This medicine is giving me headaches, dizziness, and nausea that comes and goes. Couldn't sleep last night. My neck is hurting a lot. I refused a steroid injection for my pain all over. I almost wish that I hadn't.
Valerie, it looks like we are going to have spring like weather all week. Odd since we had freezing temperatures and now it is climbing. It is supposed to be in the 70's tomorrow. It would have been nice to have the warm weather in November when we had family pictures at a park. We were all slipping in and out of our jackets for the photographer. Nice work on doing therapy twice yesterday and getting a mt. bike ride today even though there was some rain.
Judy, I hope the PT helps. I like the PT I used a lot and will use him again if I need to. The other one I used was not one I would go to again and did not help me. Good job on the 45 minute peloton ride after PT.

Hello to Carolyn and Cathy!
I’m still here. Just dealing with my husband’s rapid change in health status and trying to figure out some things. My children are here now which helps.
I did manage a couple of short workouts. Yesterday I did JS One Mile of Motivation and Step Boss Chair stretch.
Great work everyone.

our insurance covers most PT places. never found one it didnt cover. im a great believer in PT. the lady i saw last is good. I'm surprised the most effective exercises are the least complex and actually quite easy. i do them more often than they suggested but not crazy. instead of 3x a week, which seems like the very least, i do them daily, sometimes twice a day. they are simple stretching things, dont feel like they can be overdone. the worst thing is i keep the equipment on the floor in our family room. clutter!. i tend to do them when i have a spare 15 minutes like when watching news or cooking when its not convenient ot go downstairs to our workout room.
Carolyn sorry to hear you are dealing with DH's health problems. hope your family being there lightens things up for you.
