Yesterday I did a 45-minute Peloton ride and 10 minutes of Arms & Light Weights. Today is a rest day. I’m get caught up on things at home and will probably do a some light mobility work tonight.

Diane Sue-Great job with the CDorner workouts, Barre Inspired Arms and the Jessica Vallant workouts.

Carolyn-Great job with KCM’s Power Splits, workout two, Lower Body.

Janey-Welcome. I am almost 63 and have been doing Cathe workouts since 2013. Before that I had always worked out at gyms and did a lot of long distance running and cycling. You are definitely not a wimp! I have had to back off of high impact work and I am now walking more than running. I also don’t do the longer cardio sessions that I used to do. I'm trying to concentrate more on strength and maintaining muscle mass and bone density.

Cathy-Great job with LMR Cardio and ICE To The Mat. I have the same issue with our cats and making the bed. Chino loves to jump on the mattress while I’m trying to change sheets. He thinks it’s a game.

Valerie-Great job with the treadmill, therapy work and the tri/bi exercises.

This morning I did JS HiiT Walk, 30 minutes, 223 calories burned, average heart rate 139, and maximum heart rate 178.

Diane Sue, great job with CDorner HiiT style dance cardio, and Jessica Valant Pilates.

Cathy, nice job with LMR cardio and ICE to the Mat.

Valerie, nice job doing 35 minutes on the treadmill.

Janey, my thoughts are the same as the others in this group.

Hello to Judy.

Today I did Caroline Jordan Osteoporosis exercises to strengthen bone Total Body 25 minutes, 103 calories followed by her Lower Body osteoporosis strength 12 minutes, 47 calories. She used small weights even though she had 3 sets. I used 10# dumbbells for everything except lateral raises and overhead press and I used 8# dumbbells. She said to go heavier if you thought it was too easy. Total time was 37 minutes, 150 calories. I did some stretching on my own afterward.

Cathy, nice job on LMR cardio 1 and 1/2 times yesterday and today getting in Ice To the Mat. No problems here with animals on the bed. My dog has never even tried to get on furniture since we bought him home from the shelter. He does stand in the room and watch me make the bed. He also has taken to chasing me and the mop around. He has gotten over a lot of his fears around here. We have a freeze warning for Sunday night. My husband is happy so maybe he won't be cleaning bugs off the bronco all of the time.

Valerie, good job on the treadmill, therapy, and biceps and triceps exercises. Also, the ride on your usual trail.

Judy, great job on the 45 minute Peloton ride and 10 minutes of arms light weights. I hope you enjoyed your rest day.

Carolyn, nice work on Jessica Smith Hiit walk.
