Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Two more quick comments; one of the ladies in my yoga class has severe arthritis in her wrists. She wears a brace & does dolphins instead of down dogs. Modifies other poses as needed.

If you ever get a chance to met anyone on this thread, do so! It is always an amazing (and fun) experience. In some ways, we all 'know' each other on a level that is more profound (or different anyway) the many of our relationships with 'real life' families and friends.

Now, I MUST go do some of my real life stuff!!!!!

Varga: your church gym sounds fantastic! I'll have to look up the rebounding routine you mentioned. I don't know Lauren Roxhurgh. Please send your rain my way. We really need it.

I agree with Ruth about meeting people on the thread. We hugged 3 times before I left on Monday

Pushed mowed today for 1 hour 40 minutes with a few breaks. Temps are upper 90s and humidity is out the roof. Needed to mow bc the weather isn't going to get any better for several days and the grass was really thick. I stayed hydrated but right now I could use one of those drinks Ruth had at the beach!

Here's the video Wonderland. Its pretty challenging for me! I'm new to rebounding. I started to help my LE.

Varga: All that rain and not a drop here. It's scary when it rains that hard and washes away roads. The rebounder looks like fun! It's fantastic that it helps your LE. What an added bonus!

Hi all good to read your updates! I walked outside, earlier today, due to the impending heat. 30 minutes. In DC heat and humidity are generally bad in summer but were heading off the charts this week. Everybody try to keep cool in your workouts! Tomorrow will be a DVD by Leslie Sansone or laps in the pool.

So hot this morning. Per my OT, I ran in my compression sleeve (you can see it in the second photo) which made things even hotter. Ugh. But I got the training run done, and now I'm trying to cool off.

Welcome LMS!

Looking great, Claire!

Yikes, it sounds like I got out of the East Coast just in time. Be careful when exercising in that horrible heat and humidity!

I slept in and sneaked into Zumba about 5 minutes late. I'll go back to yoga tonight.

LMS-you will enjoy this thread! I have been trying to maintain a regular exercise plan forn2 years. Theadies on here always welcome me back after every set back.. nest group of cheerleaders in BCO!

Edj3- I didn't realize you had some LE...in stage 2... I remember reading a post where someone was having trouble with tight pecs... was it you? I have a great stretch I can share if you would like. Beautiful sleeve to! I'm Bloomin' Betty today..

Ruth- how close is your gym? They must have a great schedule to! You always take great classes!

Here's my Bloomin' Betty sleeve

Dunno if it's truly LE, I see my OT tomorrow afternoon. She recommended using it for my runs this week b/c I'm having a fair amount of arm discomfort to the point of having to walk during my runs to get my arm to stop hurting so much. I don't know that it helped today but it didn't hurt.

Your Blooming Betty sleeve is lovely!

Varga, that is a cute sleeve. My gym is about 3 minutes from my house, so I am LUCKY!!!!!! I went to Aqua Zumba this morning & then cleaned house (as we all know, dust does not take a vacation!). This afternoon I have to buy groceries (as there isn't even a crust of bread in my house) and get vacation pictures developed. Tomorrow I am going to a fund raiser for the United Way in a park. Three sessions: Pound, Zumba, & Yoga. You can attend one or all classes, $10.00 donation per class.

Feeling livelier and just booked another mini getaway for 2 weeks hence. Metric century....Tour de Lavender, a breeze after the Seattle-to-Portland (not to mention, much more scenic). Still want nothing to do with a bicycle seat, so doing a hike with friends on Sunday. It promises to be glorious. Hoping for wildflowers. Love mountain lupins and avalanche lilies.

This year, I want to visit Cape Flattery which is the most NW corner of the continental US. I understand there is a trail you can hike down to the Pacific and that the scenery is spectacular. I won't do the hike my friend Carla did a year ago when she and a friend got stranded and ended up scaling down cliffs in the dark to be able to catch the bus back to Seattle, important since the next one was in three days. I was wondering if they would make it out alive, but they were just fine. For me, it's daytime hiking only, and I am taking my car. Plus hiking poles.

I need to get tighter with my vacuum cleaner and mop....

Plus still could use a bit more rest. I should be fine by Sunday Vacuum cleaner next as I catch up with things... - Claire

I did 100 calories on the recumbent bike, went through the leg machines. Trainer and I set a standard workout on the machines. They said it would take about two weeks to recoup the losses of two weeks not working out. That after about six months of five days a week. Today has been wicked hot and steamy. Went to Mass, and as soon as we walked out our glasses fogged up.

Morning all, got in an endurance run here in Kansas where we are melting. This is us in Kansas today:

I went to the Podanza (Pound, Zumba/Dance, and Yoga) in the Park this morning. You hot/hot/hot girls will be very jealous when I tell you it was 65 degrees when I got there at 9:00 and 72 when I left at noon. It's 4:00pm right now and 77 with a nice, cool breeze.....

You're right, I AM jealous! But also glad someone is enjoying lovely weather
