This morning I did Jane Adams Gentle Yoga for 18 minutes.
Diane Sue, great job with Caroline Jordan Osteoporosis exercises, CDorner Stability Ball glutes, legs, and abs, CDorner lower stretch, and Jessica Vallant neck stretch. You seem to have found new trainers to address your specific needs. That’s good.
Cathy, nice job with Live Weight Plate Abs and Boss Band Loops and Weights Metabolic.
Valerie, nice job with XTrain Bis and Tris and therapy exercises.
Hello to Judy.

We did a "real" hike today in the mountains. its been snowy until the last few days when it got quite warm. it was 60 degrees. we started in snowy/icy muddy conditions. got to the top, took us 4.5 hours up and back down. it was the first significant hike for DH's knee and my cranky back. it went very well! its a very rough trail, all kinds of roots rocks, mud, branches, and patches of deep snow alternating with no snow at all. its not like the trails in the park. we felt very optimistic by the time we got done. i feel the new PT is helping me. his knee is functioning very well, not up to kicking steps in snow yet but a rough trail is ok.
diane sue, carolyn mentioned how well you are adapting to modify your routine to fit your needs currently. i am going to take a look at the people you are using too. right now Im doing what my new PT person has recommended. i can certainly add to it. much of Cathe's workouts are not compatible. im hoping some of the intermediate ones will work for me as i continue to improve.

Yesterday I did Ramped Up Upper Body. I used lighter weights than I usually would for this workout since I’m still being very careful with my shoulder. Today I went for an indoor walk with my husband and did 40 minutes of Peloton stretching and mobility work.
Carolyn-Great job with Jane Adams Gentle Yoga and Gloved Up and Sweaty.
Valerie-Great job with your hike.

Sunday I did My Finished Step workout, Monday STS2 Mat Yoga and today Stretch Max with the ball. Hasn't been a productive few days. Going to my parents tomorrow instead of today because he said they would still be getting snow. Of course, he went shopping today and cleaned off their ramp. Ugh I don't think all together we got even 2" of snow here, but they get lake effect snow and got more like 8.
Valerie that's excellent that your husband had no issues from your hike.

Today I did STS 2 Upper Body 1 express, 46 minutes, 100 calories burned, average heart rate 103, and maximum heart rate 132. It is very cold here yesterday and today. It was 29 degrees this morning. I bundled up and went to Costco after my workout.
Judy, great job with Ramped Up Upper Body, walking, and Peloton stretching and mobility.

Today I did Killer Legs with the barre bonus. I added 5 minutes of Peloton core work after.
Cathy-Great job with your Step workout, STS2 Mat Yoga and Stretch Max with the ball.
Carolyn-Great job with STS 2 Upper Body 1 express. Your temperatures are similar to ours this week. I’m not quite ready for this cold. It was around 30 here today but it was cloudy and windy so it felt even colder.

Yesterday I did Kelly Coffey Cardio Fit workout #1 and first cardio of workout #2, 36 minutes, 213 calories, heart rate 129/165, 2,363 steps. I used 15# dumbbells for the lower body weight segments between the boxing. I finished with CDorner Neck and Back Stretch that she put up today. Okay, but quite a bit of twisting and cat cow. I had to improvise. 29 minutes, 58 calories.
Total time was 65 minutes, 271 calories.
Monday I did Lift Move And Restore Upper Body Timesaver #2 which cut out a lot of the band work. I went lighter on the weights. I finished with Caroline Jordan Posture Stretch and Jessica Valant Pilates for Back Pain 18 minutes because I skipped portions of these.
Valerie, I am glad to hear that your hike went well. You are doing well with keeping up the PT. I am continually looking for instructors that put out some workouts that address osteoporosis and know what they are doing. I prefer someone that can put together a full workout rather than just getting someone that gives you some PT moves to do on my own. Some strength stuff as well and just stretching and mobility that is safe.
Carolyn, nice work on Gloved Up and Sweaty and Upper Body #1 Express.
Judy, good job on Ramped Up Upper Body and Killer Legs with Barre Bonus and 5 minutes of Peloton Core work.
Cathy, nice job on your finished Step workout, Monday's STS2 Mat Yoga and Tuesday Stretch Max with the ball. Clearing snow off does not sound like fun.
