Pentagenarians & Beyond: W/B 12/5

Hi Deb, Josie, Joan, Cathy, and Valerie--

This morning I did Dancin' Abs (60 min.)

Deb, I like Rockin' Models quite a bit, but I've only done it once. Grace Lazenby has such an incredible body, and I'm wondering if it was sculpted by the yoga, pilates, and barre-like work alone. So you are doing all of your cardio on the treadmill? Whatever happened to your KCMs? Did you just not like them? P-57 is coming out with another set of three disks, but I will wait until the vidiots over at videofitness.com review them. If they are significantly different I may go for them, although I've just bought 4 new dvds! Cold here too.

Valerie, we went to a theater to see Inside Job, so it's not out on DVD yet. I can do lotus, but it hurts my knees, so I don't do it. Same with the pigeon pose.

Hope everyone is staying warm. Feels like single digits here.
 
I forgot I had gotten a free cheap dvd player with an order from Office Depot. I hooked it up and the dvd does play. Because the tv in the exercise area is an older 42in plasma (that I won at Stratosphere in LV) it is more complicated to hook up and cable box goes through dvd/vhs player to tv. I can unhook everything and put in new dvd player and just use it once in a while. I can hit next on old dvd player but with this one you have to ff.

Finally Friday

Not a good morning really, dogs woke me up at 4:00, then again at 4:30, so I did not get up to work out, tried to go back to sleep but could not. Just glad it is Friday.

Valerie, I never liked any of the yoga dvd's that I had, I bet it is better in a class setting. What is a Swedish finish?

Garance, Grace is also a runner, I think, and does ballet...All those things combined probably did it. Yes, I have been doing all my cardio on the treadmill. The only KCM's I have are weight workouts, or at least the ones I remember are. Do you like the ones you just got? which were they again?

Joan, wow that DVD player must be old, I never had one that you had to FF with. One of the old combination ones I had gave me problems playing DVD's so DH went out and bought another one, and it was fine after that. They are made so cheap now, they are practically throw away. Like a lot of things these days. Now my age is showing. ;)

Hi to Josie, & Cathy,

Take care,
 
Yipes, I'm dense sometimes... never even thought about looking at theaters for a movie!! I had never heard of grace lazenby so I googled her. yes, that's a body I'd aspire to if I had a choice.

yes, it's gotten to the point where almost everything is "throw away". seems like even the simplest parts to keep something working aren't available, or are so expensive it makes no sense not to just replace the whole device. I went through that recently with the carafe for my coffee machinet. seems totally nuts sometimes. replacing the battery in my phone cost 3x as much as getting a new phone.????

I had a couple yoga VHS tapes but without getting feedback from an experienced person it didn't work well. most classes I've gone to were small, 4-6 people. the ones I'm in now are a little bigger but that's OK since I have sort of a clue what I'm doing. Pigeon pose is OK for me except that my feet don't point the same way as everyone elses. when I sit on the floor and lean forward my feet bend forward to the point where my feet go in and forward to almost flat on the floor, whereas everyone else has toes pointed to the sky. It's weird to see how differently the same basic parts work in different people.

Joan, good to know you can get the disks to play somehow.. I sure would not be happy trying to work out from my computer screen.

Swedish finish is a chemical process to "finish" a hardwood floor. Our kitchen is hardwood but never has been refinished. It takes several coats of whatever the chemicals are. It's very hard and protects the wood. It's famous for stinking so badly that the house is not habitable for about 24 hours after the finish is put down. people and pets need to be out. I'll find out more today. we're spending the night in our camper in the driveway. Our cat will not be happy. we are getting one coat of swedish, and then 2 coats of a water based product that is a better UV protectant. first they use a sander to sand the surface back to bare wood and buzz off any dings or stains. the sander has a vacuum system so the whole house doesn't become covered in dust. I'm learning as we go.
 
Hi Ladies,

I'm so happy that it’s Friday! We are having our Christmas luncheon today at Maggiano's and I have a cold and have lost my taste buds.

I will probably not workout this weekend; I hope to get better so that I can do some shopping this weekend.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi Deb, Josie, Joan, Cathy, and Valerie--

This morning I did BBL Sculpt (50 min.).

Deb, I bought Rockin' Models, KCM's Bootcamp Circuit, and two by Tracy Mallett--Booty Barre and Pilates Sculpt.

Last day of classes this semester, then reading period and exams. I just have papers to do, and a meeting on Monday with the senior members in the dept. and the Committee on Appointments and Promotions. I guess they want to hear from us about our tenure decisions. Could be trouble brewing.

A party tonight and tomorrow we go to get our tree. I also want to try to see the new Harry Potter film some time soon--before it leaves the theaters, for heaven's sake.

Have a great weekend everyone!
 
Lynda ..glad you mentioned Harry Potter... I never looked at the movies, i thought they were for kids. Are they decent movies for adults?

Good morning,

Today I have Keegan's agility class, and our dog club Christmas party tonight. I have to go get doggie wrapping paper ( we all bring a dog type gift and do that game where you pick a gift and then someone can steal it from you). I need to go to KMart anyway to get a gift for the Boys and Girls club gift thing we do at work. I hope I can still get a less expensive MP3 player. That is what the boy I picked wants.

Othewise just
