Pentagenarians & Beyond: June 15, 2025

Good morning, ladies. I took two very nice 5-mile walks this weekend. I really needed them! It felt good to get outside and just move.

Cathy - nice work with Low Max step combos. Low Max used to be one of my favorites.

Carolyn - I hope you enjoyed your yoga. It's a nice thing to do on a Sunday.

Hi to everyone else. I hope you all had a good weekend.
 
Today I did Live Jabs and Kicks and PHA Supersets with the Ball. We've hit a stretch of nice weather. Sunny a bit of a breeze and not super hot. Though we are going over 80 today.

Shannon I'm glad you were able to get outside and enjoy a couple long walks.
 
Today I did part of Gloved Up and Sweaty, 26 minutes, 141 calories burned, average heart rate 116, and maximum heart rate 153. Then I did STS 2 Chair Yoga, for an additional 21 minutes and 30 calories.

Shannon, I’m glad that you had nice long walks this weekend.

Cathy, great job with Live Jabs and Kicks and PHA Supersets with the Ball.

Hello to Judy, Valerie, and Diane Sue.
 
I did a yard walk yesterday for half an hour, and this morning we did our usual park walk, the one we haven't been able to make while DH's knee is so troublesome. he got his new brace delivered friday night. it's better than the temp one he's been using but not dramatically. more dental things this week, scheduled but he will take any cancellation opportunity to move it forward.
the walk this morning is 2.5 to 3 miles. takes about 1 hr 20 minutes. its a lot of up/ down and pleasantly woodsy. nothing much on the water during summer. were having lovely weather. mostly 60-70 low humidity, partly cloudy to sunny and wonderful. grass/weed /tree pollen is killing me this summer, have to take antihistamines until it settles down.

for those of you with Netflix, we watched an interesting documentary this weekend. called Titan. about the Oceangate submersible that imploded on a dive to view the titanic wreckage. its a documentary and not a movie. much of the building of the unit took place here in Everett WA at boatyards along the sound. footage showed a lot of familiar ( to me) places along the water and at the UW campus. . i didnt know until we watched it. no interest in the Titanic but this was still interesting. about 90 minutes. the CEO was the most arrogant dismissive jerk imaginable. no wonder things went wrong in a big way. just suggesting if you want to understand how things could have gone so terribly wrong.

Yesterday I went for a 40-minute walk outside. Today I did 45 minutes of Peloton rides, Muscle Meltdown Triceps and a 20-minute Peloton Full Body strength workout.

Cathy-Great job with Low Max step combos with the stretch from Body Max 2 and Live Jabs and Kicks and PHA Supersets with the Ball. The weather has been so nice this week! I’ve been spending as much time as I can outside.

Shannon-Great job with your walks. It’s so nice to get outside.

Carolyn-Great job with Jane Adams Gentle Yoga, Gloved Up and Sweaty and STS 2 Chair Yoga.

Valerie-Great job with your walks. That documentary sounds interesting. I don’t have any interest in the Titanic either but I have read quite a bit about the Titan submersible implosion. I agree, the CEO was unbelievable in his arrogance. I’m surprised something like that didn’t happen sooner than it did.

Hi to Diane Sue
 
Yesterday was a rest day and family time. Today I did CDorner Low Impact Cardio 80's all standing, 43 minutes, 242 calories, hear rate 122/152. The doctor called and I am going in Wednesday to get an epidural steroid with conscious sedation. Maybe getting the inflammation down will help till the methotrexate or whatever helps.

Valerie, I have the salon pas patches. My husband put one on and it helps some. I need to look into the lumbar support.
