Let's Post our Daily Exercise

So great to meet up with Mary and Ann, we had a lovely visit and as you can tell the location was gorgeous and then Mary and I had dueling phone navigation systems trying to find Petco Park so I could get her to the ball game, Mary now you understand why I couldn't find the White House, rerouting, rerouting! Ann the video was beautiful. SAB I don't know where you are but there is a radio station in LA that plays workout music it's 104.3 I listen to that in my car and sing along, you can look it up on the Internet, good music is Pink both her old stuff and new, Katy Perry, Nikki Minaj and Kesha but be warned her stuff is raunchy You can also preview music on iTunes.

Did Body Combat class this morning, we had a new instructor wow she was good so I got myself a great workout.

Spring has sprung here - finally!  Had a wonderful trail hike yesterday for an hour with my favorite furry companion.  The trees are budding, flowers are coming up - ahhhh, glorious day to be outside.  Another hike/run planned for today, this time without my dog.  I hope to check out the Zombie app  sounds like so much fun!  

Thanks badger for posting the stepup-speakout document again.  welcome back marian!  Mary - fantastic photo! Bummer on missing the cherry blossoms ~ I remember trying to figure out when peak season would be, and heading out early to try and beat the crowds

Hugs - hope that everybody is having a good weekend

Go LilacBlue!  Great picture Mary.  Glad you and Cheryl finally found Petco Park.  Badger, thanks for that LE info.  I just had physical therapy education and sleeve fitting, but the info I got about exercise was not nearly that detailed.  MarianE, welcome back and I wish you speedy recovery.  Claire, wow, I can't believe you got hail in Seattle.

Exercise-- yesterday I did lots of back and shoulder stretches with a bolster.  I'm trying to get myself to stand up straight after a lifetime of slouching forward and also work out the remaining tight areas from surgery and from the case of frozen shoulder I had in 2010.  It actually hurts to straighten my back and shoulders since my body is so used to slouching.  But after the stretching I could relax into it much more easily.  Then worked on some hooping arm and hand moves, and took a nice walk with the hubby.

One hour water aerobics yesterday; 4.5 miles neighborhood walk today.  My hip is complaining but I plan to whip it into submission.  Maybe if I threaten to start running outside it won't mind my running in water or long walks!  Need to find more exercises for my core and stretches.  Muscles in inner right thigh are very tight and getting worse.

You all are doing so great and it is really helping me.  Thanks.

Wow....will make sure I celebrate with you, LuvLuLu!  I did a group ride today ~33 miles, and can tell I haven't done all that much cycling.  I was much more comfortable with about 13 mph vs 15.  I also wanted to look at the scenery which was fascinating as a duel between Winter and Spring with Winter winning in the Cascade Foothills just a few miles away.  (They closed Snoqualmie Pass last night because of snow!)

Sunny though where we were and just gorgeous.

Took a hot bath, and ALMOST don't feel it anymore.  I can tell, lots of training ahead. - Claire

I went to my first ZUMBA class today! I loved it...it went by so fast.  I do need to learn the moves a little better.  More Snow coming our way

Enjoy Balsie

Happy Birthday Lulu, your taught your boys well, they know that "diamonds are a girls best friend"  Ann it was funny as I know where Petco Park is, I just had to get to the other side of downtown but my navigation wanted me up on the freeway and Marys was taking us through town then I missed a turn and we did end up on the freeway  I just dropped her off as I had a 2 hour ride home but it sure was good to hang out with you guys, sorry you missed the Cherry Blossoms Mary but you had those lovely San Diego Bay morning runs  Oh Ruth I promised one day sping will sprung, promise, really...   Great to see you Patoo, keep up the good work.  SAB I see most trainers finishing their sessions with those bolsters, they really give a good stretch.  Balsie just keep at it and those latin moves will become second nature 

 Did Body Step class yesterday, new release and lots of new moves so it was fun, our instructor is pregnant and I just don't know how she's doing it but she's still jumping but she does just instruct on the core movements doesn't do them any more, I'm just amazed that she's still teaching.

Lulu, Happy birthday!!! Sounds like you taught your guys well. Balsie, I love Zumba too. Keep moving and you will have the moves down in no time.



Hit the fitness center today and did 5 miles on the bike,3 on the Elliptical and arm exercises.



I am just sick over the incident today in Boston. Just awful...

Ran and walked on the treadmill today, and then upper body with light weights.  Have decided to try Zumba this week, a big decision for a rhythm-challenged person like mem

Boston on my mind too--terrible, terrible.

Heartsick and infuriated about Boston.  I'm active on the BCO Running thread and there were three BCO regulars who were running.  Two have checked in and they and their families are OK but still no word on the third of our BCO trio.  Worrisome, but I figure she had other things on her mind than checking into the Runnning thread.

30 minutes yoga yesterday and 3 mile run today.  Flying cross-country flared my truncal LE badly so I'm up 3-4 pounds, all in my belly.  Yuck. 

DH is a CPA - our taxes were filed in early February.  When I was single, I was always one of those people circling the post office late on the 15th trying to get my return postmarked before midnight, so this is a definite improvement. 

Going to step class. it was ok on my plantars faccitus last time just being careful not to jump keep it low impact.

Good morning.  Did the 5k Zombie training app this morning, then ran for an extra 20 minutes. 

Another walk after work - 3.5 miles.  Love the spring (allergies notwithstanding).

odie16, What is day one for the couch25k?  The zombie trainer gave me ten minute walk/walk 1 minute run 15 seconds for 10x/free run 10 minutes.  You do that three days in the first week. Seems awfully "light" and I don't see how they are going to get to 5k in 8 weeks.

Couch25K starts with a 5 minute brisk walk followed by 60 seconds running then 90 walking alternating for 20 minutes. I also downloaded the Zombie app but haven't tried it yet.



Plan is to do 20 min Elliptical and 20 min bike Mon, Wed & Fri. Couch25K Tues, Thurs & Sat. Sunday will be my day of rest....lol
