Pentagenarians & Beyond: Tuesday!

[fox2star]

Good Morning!

Today I did the "B" workout from The New Rules...etc. They are short but effective! I got major DOMS from the one on Sunday. They are supposed to be total body workouts, but are a little skimpy on biceps and triceps..we shall see how it goes.

So what is everyone up to this week? Now that summer is officially over, I am sure all the educators here will be in full swing with classes. I am glad that it is a short week! I have a dog trial to work at this coming weekend and then it is off to Washington for work for 4 days...yuk!

Linny:
glad you had a "hive free" time at the lake. Good for you for pushing yourself to do a workout....I am so there with you! I like this New Rules book and the workouts are around 25 minutes, so I can't talk myself out of doing them!

Have a great day ladies!

Feels like Monday

Hi Deb, Carol, and Linny, and any later posters--

This morning I did Cackle and Shriek (59 min.).

Phew, Carol, I grew tired just reading your workout. Very impressive. You will probably outshine me, Deb, and Linny when STS arrives. We agreed that this was going to be a shared challenge when (if???) it ever arrives. We will have to decide how to measure changes--maybe come up with 5-10 specific things to check on a weekly basis.

Sounds like those weight workouts are perfect for you Deb. What size weights are you using?

It would be frustrating for me, too, Linny, if I went to the Jersey shore and couldn't go in the water. I grew up in Minnesota, and went swimming every day in the summer in one lake or another. All I can do is bob with DH's help in the ocean because I am so nearsighted I cannot find my way back to our umbrella when I get out of the water.

Yep--the students are all here and classes begin for me on Friday, with one brief informational session on Thursday night for my seminar. I suspect Josie is at Howard helping her daughter get settled in for her first year in college.
