Workout today was Jessica Smith Walk Strong 3 Boogie I.T., 30 minutes, 212 calories, heart rate 160/180, 3,501 steps. I modified on arm movements for the right side. I then did Fit Tower Advanced legs, glutes, and core no core mix(did not do the side leaning leg work as it would put pressure on my shoulder) I also did not get a complete reading as I accidentally paused my watch when I did the glute raises. This was 25 minutes, 61 calories, heart rate 91/114, 160 steps.
I finished with CDorner's newest mobility workout which does a lot of balance and uses a chair. I liked it a lot, but had to modify the arm on the floor stuff she did. Most of it was using the chair though. I will do it again, but next time stop at the floor part. She also does some of the time relaxing with the feet on the chair at the end. That is when I grabbed my therapy balls and did a bit with them. This was 35 minutes, heart rate 77/93, 51 calories. Total time was 90 minutes, 324 calories, 3,661 steps.
We had some major storms last night. I guess there were tornado warnings that I slept through as my phone had messages saying to take shelter and it would end around 5:30 am. When I got up and made my coffee I noticed my dog Gertie did come to say hi. I figured she was in the workout room lying on her second bed and went and got her food and called and she did not come. I looked all over and in the garage, then noticed her dog bed was missing. I found her in our bedroom next to my husband's bed sleeping. He said he came in and she was whimpering because of the storm and kept following him and when he went to close the door she looked sad so he put her in our room. She never comes in our room unless we call her in or she is sick or something and needs help. I am glad I saw the weather coming and changed my arthritis appointment that I would have went to this morning. So much water around here and flooding is always a worry. We still had standing water in the back part of our yard this morning.
Cathy, nice work with the live workouts that you put together. So you can put together parts of live workouts like you do the regular workouts with the streaming and on demand? I don't know if I would want to spend time doing that though. Is it time consuming to do? I cannot let my hair air dry. It looks straight styled, but when air dried it develops not too pretty waves. I mean waves like my bangs flip up and out, ends flip and others go side ways and I will end up with a cowlick. So I never let it air dry. I let it partially dry while doing my make up and then finish it and still need to use a flat iron to tame some pieces that have a mind of their own. I had my husband cut mine a little below my shoulders so I don't have to go through as much range of motion when drying it right now. It was getting too long. It is 60's to 70's here too. I recently purchased a new yoga/pilates ball. CDorner uses one a several workouts and so does Jessica Smith. I had two at one time, but my grandson got to keep the purple one when he was a toddler since he loved it so much. For some reason the other lost it's plug so I threw it away when we moved. I was checking out the walk strong 3 barre workout since it uses the ball, but it also uses some light weights and I am worried I can't get away with that right now. I have been keeping my eye on the live workouts, but I know any of the new ones with the Boss bands would probably not be easy to separate upper and lower right now, so I will wait a bit.
Valerie, I always start out lighter on Cathe's spin workouts. Pedal Power is my favorite and most used. I have all of them and like you, I prefer the timers. The timer gives me more incentive to push harder as I know how much time I have left. I have pushed all out hard before and boy what a workout and it was hard to push to the end, but I would just keep going with an "I can do this" Only a few more minutes till this segment is done. Then I will have in my head that I am going to stop there, but keep going. The ones without the timers are harder for me to push through. I tightened up my handlebars because when I used it the other day they kept wobbling around. I hope I got them good and tight so I do not have to deal with that. I keep looking at the Garmin sensor that does the cadence, but really ask myself why I need that? When I push the spin bike setting on the watch it tries to search for a sensor and so I just did it as cardio.
Judy, food choices to get a workout in when you have to go to work. Muscle Melt downs are nice for a not too long way of getting in some strength work when short on time.
Carolyn, those unplanned things happen sometimes. Hope you got your walk in. I am glad that you feel okay after the booster.
