Pentagenarians & Beyond: W/B 3/24

[FitGran]

I felt tired this morning so I decided to have a rest day. I could tell that I needed a rest day for the last few days. I can usually follow the rotation for three weeks before I need to back off a little bit. Sometimes I just substitute non-Cathe workouts for a couple of days to lower the intensity. I am going to look into some of the shoe inserts. My daughter has recommended that I try them several times.

Hello to everyone and enjoy your day.

This morning I did Lite Cardio Party, 283 calories, met 8.0, 40 minutes, heart rate average 141, max 181. I used 1# dumbbells throughout, 3,810 steps. I then did Kelly Coffey Body Design kickboxing with light dumbbells(3#), 13 minutes, met 7.0, 83 calories, heart rate average 133, max 156,1,216 steps, followed with Kelly's Build & Burn kettlebell kickbox mix no kettlebell, 16 minutes, heart rate average 141, max 166, 104 calories, met 7.8, 1,417 steps. I finished off with Lite abs #1, 40 calories, 10 minutes, 71 steps and Lite Stretch#2, 11 minutes, 31 calories. Total time was 90 minutes, 541 calories, 6,514 steps.

Valerie, thanks for the link. I think I purchased my green ones from Super Feet. I wonder if i would want the 8 or 8.5. It depends on the shoe on which size I would wear. I guess 8.5 could be trimmed.

Carolyn, sometimes it just hits us that it is time for some extra rest. I find if I stay sore day after day I need to rest or lighten up on what I am doing. Some of Cathe's rotations are pretty intense. Enjoy your rest time.

I agree, sometimes you think about a workout, it sounds like a chore you don't want to do. time for a day off. I took yesterday off. I did a load of things but no formal exercise, and at 3:30 DH poured me a glass of chardonnay and we had some popcorn. my birthday today.
this morning we did a road ride 25 miles near the farm /flower fields nearby. first time this season. sunday mornings are better but we are finally going to MT Monday. tomorrow we will load and do a quick shopping trip. finally!!. I feel like I have been "ready to leave" for 6 weeks at least. have not been anywhere in so long. need a change of scenery.
I got all my health screenings back finally, mamm being the last, and it was OK.

I did not look thru the site but I know Superfeet previously had detailed directions on how to pick inserts. I have used them so long I don't even think about them, just buy a new pair occasionally if I see them on sale. they are basic for me, like undies.
