Today I did Cathe Party Rockin Step #2, 55 minutes, heart rate 120/156, 263 calories
(I kept having to adjust the Fitbit on my arm and at the end it stayed the same calories for 3 minutes while I kept running around and jumping trying to get it to move and then it jumped up 3 calories, so weird)4,800 steps.
I then did Two the Max solid step segment as I wanted to have at least 300 calories out of this workout. This was only 8 minutes, 41 calories, heart rate 123/145, 760 steps.
I finished with Lindsey Samper yoga neck and shoulder pain I believe it is number 8 and stopped at 16 minutes, 15 calories, heart rate 87/101.
Speaking of vacuum cleaners, I was just thinking about one we purchased when we saw them at the State Fair. A German one called Vorwerk. It worked well, but was pretty light. It just got to be so hard to get bags and stuff for it. At first I had to go to an office building where they had a small office to pick up what I needed. After awhile it disappeared. I just looked and they still have headquarters here in the US though. I don't know if it is just because the new Shark vacuum has a dust cup and I can see what I vacuumed up or the Kirby is not working as well as I thought. I couldn't believe I filled the dust cup when I vacuumed the two rooms upstairs. The only room used is the workout room most of the time and the bath which is bare floor. I vacuum at least 3 times a week.
Valerie, my mother wanted perfection on all household tasks. She told me once as an adult she felt bad because she was hard on me. The worst was trying to fold fitted sheets like she wanted. The pockets had to be put together perfectly and they had to be folded just right when I was done. I could never get that right. You know what? Now I i fold in half and roll it up to so it is the same size as the top sheet when it is folded to put away. It is just not worth that much hassle. I hate ironing.
Judy, nice workouts. Kelly has a couple of workouts done outdoors that are good. I wish the sound was better on the first one she did, but it is still a lot of fun. I did the Advanced Fit Tower Legs and glutes recently.
Deb, when I was going to physical therapy last year and had so much pain in that one arm and shoulder, dragging that Kirby upstairs and using it was painful. I kept trying to do so many things with the other arm to the point it was starting to hurt. We did no buy the Kirby though. When my Dad passed away I got his which was new and most of the parts were in the box. He had bought it for his wife who passed away and with her health problems I don't think she used it very much. Mine quit and I just started using that one. They are built well, but not being a lot of plastic makes them super heavy. I had one many years ago, so this was my second experience with one.
Carolyn, you can get good results with floor work. I used to make sure I added floor work to my lower body workouts and I would use ankle weights all of the time. It really did tighten up the thighs and add shape. I guess once I started wearing devices to see how many calories I was burning made me not want to do those workouts as much because I wanted to see the numbers up there. My husband told me the other day that he thought I was losing the fun of my workouts messing with the watch and I should just get rid of it.
