Let's Post our Daily Exercise

It’s a great article, Falconer! I am with you that it’s been hard to fit exercise into the back to school routine. I did well over the summer with biking, swimming and Zumba. I am missing my morning exercise schedule.

Great pictures from the trip, Ruth.

Yoga

edj, keep after that doctor!!!

Falconer, thanks for the terrific link! Vargadoll & Ginger, good to catch up a bit with you both. Welcome Sig1324! Ruth, loved the photos and looked like a fun gathering. Hikinglady, super autumn photos - thanks!

I've been on a restorative & yoga nidra training in London since Thursday, that ends Sunday evening. The most deeply relaxing, chilled-out course I've ever been on! Training starts later, 12:30, so off to teach 9am bodybalance/flow and on the train to London. Let's keep at it!

It has been so hard to get in exercise with work lately but I did a little better this week, mostly thanks to absolutely having to mow my lawn one evening earlier this week and today’s fabulous weather. We had a perfect fall day of 65 degrees,sunny, and fall color is almost peak. Mowed my back yard today, walked my dog , and then went and walked around the lake.

I did 25 min of walking outside. Beautiful fall weather.

Windswept, rainy, grey Monday morning here in the hinterlands of Kent. Got home last night and loaded the car with props for today's classes. We are doing Wear It Pink at Pink Pilates @ 11am this morning with donation box in tow. Had a terrific Nidra and restorative training, with ten other amazing women. On Saturday, was on the highspeed to London filled with Brexit protesters; totally uplifting and gave me hope. With all that is going on in the world an this country, I have a pang of guilt, exercising my female privilege, existing for four days in a parallel universe of structured poses for relaxation and learning yogic sleep technique. Back to real life, and read of Deborah Orr, the award-winning journalist and author, had died last night of metastatic breast cancer, that was diagnosed this past August. I wrote her in 2012 as I read her column in the Guardian of her treatment ( her primary was in 2010). She wrote brilliantly and I was asking her how do you tell your children? She replied within twenty minutes: I'm sorry. It's quite a thing, breast cancer - no getting round it. I'm sure you know the best way to tell your own son. But I told my four children that breast cancer was extremely responsive to treatment and there was no reason for them to assume anything other than recovery. And that's the truth. They were totally cool with it. Was holding out for some hope, but dreading what was inevitable, when reading of her passing on twitter this morning. I hate this disease.

Yogatme, super on the rebounder. You can enjoy yin and restorative yoga very without inversions and yoga Nidra (yogic sleep), which has none.

Here I am ( sitting, blonde w/grey), sitting next to our teacher, Dina, our ending photo of the restortive & yoga Nidra training.

LB, your photo didn’t post, and we would all love to see you! I love yoga nidra and I don’t think you should apologize for not marching with anyone- you’re bringing more peace to the world by learning these practices.

Saturday and today were lovely and sunny so we rode bikes both days.

Falconer, I sure hope it's more peace..in short supply over here! Let's see if this photo re-post works:

Good luck, Iwave, it will be a good thing to have BEHIND you!

Pound & Barre today.

It's a very brisk morning here. Four of us Wednesday Walking Women walked outside and the other seven went inside. Here are the brave outsiders.

I am enjoying this happy thread of exercise and beautiful travel destinations!

This morning I ran 22 minutes in the dark before leaving for work. I park 10-15 minutes from my office (depends on which route I take to the building). I’m hoping for a walk at lunch.

Glad you had a good run, edj. I think we really, really appreciate just feeling 'normal' more than almost anyone!

Great picture, Lilac!

Welcome Kale!

Maybe I need to go visit my North Carolina sister. I am already tired of dark and cold!

I subbed today (and will be there every day through next Wednesday as I'm covering for a friend who is at a family funeral out of state), zoomed over & let the grand-dogs out (the master's were working late), zoomed to the gym for Dance2Fit, zoomed home & showered, went to Book Club. I am tired!!!
