Pentagenarians & Beyond: W/B 2/23

This morning I did Step Sync, combos 2 and 3. My time was 38 minutes with 307 calories burned. My average heart rate was 138 and maximum heart rate was 167. I also did Jane Adams Yoga for Beginners, Upper Body Strength and Flexibility. That was 22 minutes and 42 calories burned.

Valerie, I have used Sun Warrior Classic and their Warrior Blend protein powders, but haven’t bought any for a couple of years. I found that I didn’t really care for any of them. Like Diane Sue, I used it in smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt, but not enough to keep buying it.

Diane Sue, great job with Cardio Quick Fix. The yoga that I did this morning had a lot of neck and shoulder strengthening and stretching. I’m still trying to get combo 3 from Step Sync. Sometimes I just keep moving until I get caught up!

Waving hello to Judy and Deb. Have a wonderful day everyone.
 
I used protein powder in shakes long ago. no idea what kind, but didn't have the taste/ odor problem. I assume whey powder is the problem. most products are $25 and up tubs, so not thrilled with winging it. I used to use protein powder, frozen fruit, and nonfat milk with bran for fiber. an incredible number of brands and combinations of protein sources. my experience with Premier showed there is a wide range of opinions on what tastes good. I am going to look at amazon.
please don't do a lot of research on this. the more I read the less likely I will do this. I am probably better off with an apple half and PB

off to do a mt bike this morning. I took yesterday off. we are 99% done with our wall. we need to replace the fence around the garden. the deer are voracious.

back from our ride 1 hr 45 min. this is a strenuous ride. I forgot to look at mileage, around 7-8 miles. there are several serious climbs. there's a small lake on the way we stop to look at ducks. saw 4 pairs of hooded mergansers. so beautiful. heard a kingfisher.

This morning I did Raw Just Step, 23 minutes, hert rate 121/147, 118 calories, 2,263 steps. My husband has changed jobs and his hours are starting at different times and the go to working all night.

I went through my raw workouts that I have written up to find ones I have specifically written down no overhead presses, or shoulder friendly etc. I could not find this one at first when I was trying to pull it up. It was in the complete library, but not in one of the other sections.. I have done it quite a bit.
Raw Tabata Weight Circuits heavy medium and light weights with increases half way through the workout. Kelly starts with 8,10 and 15# She also uses a step or bench (not for much of it and I do not think it is necessary)
Rounds 1-3 are timed at 20 seconds per exercise going from one exercise right to the next
1 arm row 15# dumbbell
bench press 15# dumbbells
biceps curls 12# dumbbells
lateral raise/front raise 5# me Kelly uses 8's

Rnd 4 and 5 raise the weights to 20 heavy, 15 medium, and 10 light and changes the biceps to supination curls and shoulders to just lateral raises I raised shoulders to 8# and kept the bench presses at 15#

Got my shingles shot late yesterday. My arm is sore and I feel pretty punky. Not sure of a workout today probably just some garden work. Not going to die ....but feel achy and feverish. Had to pay the whole 172$ to meet deductible.
 
No workout for me today. I did a short Jane Adams yoga practice, Morning Energy, for 18 minutes. After that I went to the hair salon and did a little shopping.

Valerie, that’s good that you got the shingles shot. My arm was sore for a couple of days after my shots, but I didn’t have any other side effects.

Diane Sue, great job with the Step Sync timesaver, Raw Abs, and JS stretch. It’s hard to get moving when you don’t get enough sleep.

Hello to Deb and Judy.
 
Valerie, I did not feel well and had a slight fever when I got the Shingrix vaccine. Not sick enough to stop me from getting things done, but just kind of lousy. They said that happens a lot. I was lucky and insurance paid for a good part of my vaccine. It probably won't be that way next time since they raised the higher tier deductible on prescriptions they probably changed it on the vaccine. I didn't look.

Carolyn, that sounds like a nice relaxed day :)
 
Valerie-that's good that you got the Shingrix vaccine. I'll have to get my second one before too long. I felt pretty bad for a couple of days after mine.
