Negin Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Different moves that I learned from my very first workout book back in the early '80s. I love these moves. Pure nostalgia. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Yesterday I did yoga. I ran 4.5 miles this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyfaithe Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Ran yesterday...6.45 (10k). 1:07:45. Not my best time, but ok considering being horribly sore from Saturday's bootcamp! Tonight will spin then do Body Sculpt....my dirty double ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyfaithe Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Yoga people, are you using dvd's or a class or online videos? I need to reincorporate yoga into my routine. I have just begun using a foam roller hoping to get my muscles to release a bit. I have been using Hasfit YouTube videos for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a very nice book which I recently got. I used to go to a fabulous class on the beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Yoga people, are you using dvd's or a class or online videos? I need to reincorporate yoga into my routine. I have just begun using a foam roller hoping to get my muscles to release a bit. I have been using Hasfit YouTube videos for that. I purchased a subscription to YogaGlo.com. I'm enjoying it, and at times wishing all I did was yoga (I love running, and kettlebell has been great, but there is something about yoga.) There are other online sites. There is YogaVibes, which is about the same a month as YogaGlo, but you can get it cheaper if you buy a year. YogaVibes is seems more focused on "workout" type yoga, and even has Barre (or equivilent) classes. At one time I used YogaToday.com. It's only $10 a month, and the teachers are excellent. Almost all of the classes are 1 hr format. Honestly, these women are the best yoga teachers on the web. They are gifted at teaching over the internet. Right now I'm using YogaGlo because I want the option of more less than 60 min classes, as well as lots of Yin and Restorative yoga. That site just has more of that.

PeacefulChaos Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Ran this morning - 8 minutes/2 minutes running/walking. Went around 2.5-3 miles. First 5k is in less than 3 weeks!! Omo....can't believe it's that close already!! Didn't get around to posting last week - ran Friday afternoon but came home feeling like I failed - I had been doing pretty well but for some reason I just had a hard time that afternoon and didn't do nearly as well as I had been. When I got home and was complaining about it, dh was like, 'look, you just went out and ran/walked/whatever 2 miles. That's a heck of a lot more than most people do, so stop feeling bad about it!' Lol. :) it was a good reminder, though - its so easy to get caught up in competing with myself or trying to always do better (which isn't a bad thing, either!) that I forget that a few short months ago I couldn't do this stuff at all. I took the dog on Saturday and walked for 3 miles - our poor dog doesn't get nearly the exercise she should, so she enjoyed it, too. :). I need to check out some of those yoga sites.... I've always wanted to try more yoga but had a hard time figuring out how without being a member of the y or something. I tried a couple yoga things on netflix but wasn't impressed (this was a year or more ago). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Monday I did kettlebell. I did deadlifts, cleans, squats, arm rows, push-ups, and of course, lots of swings. I did a "finisher" of snatches. I did 80 snatches total! And I'm feeling it today.:) Today I ran 4 miles. I'm hoping to do 30 minutes of yoga later today.

Mom-ninja. Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm back! :hurray: Kept losing this thread. Yoga people, are you using dvd's or a class or online videos? I need to reincorporate yoga into my routine. I have just begun using a foam roller hoping to get my muscles to release a bit. I have been using Hasfit YouTube videos for that. I use dvds mostly, but I also search youtube. I want to buy a yin yoga dvd. Anyone have a recommendation? Do you like the foam roller? I've been thinking of getting one. I bought a kettlebell. :w00t: It's 10lb. I wanted a lighter one but haven't found one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny_Weatherwax Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'll update in this thread so I don't have to go back to last week. I hope you don't mind. Friday - canoed in the am (2 hours); hiked (30 mins); canoed (90 mins); hiked (45 mins) Sat - hiked about 2 hours Sun - hiked about an hour -the hikes included a 30# pack and was a much better workout than just a walk This Week: Yesterday - nothing but a walk around the block :( too busy with work and babysitting to really exercise Today - nothing yet; I hope to be able to get out this evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negin Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Will be doing an Ellen Barrett Pilates DVD later.Read this:Pilates elongates and strengthens, improving muscle elasticity and joint mobility. A body with balanced strength and flexibility is less likely to be injured. I want to buy a yin yoga dvd. Anyone have a recommendation? I used to take a weekly Yin Yoga class on the beach. My instructor recommended this DVD to me and I really love it. Both his DVDs are my absolute favorites for yoga. He's a great instructor and you really get your money's worth. Each DVD has about 3 separate workouts. He knows his stuff. He's not annoying or weird - some people are turned off by yoga for that. You can view samples and order from his site or from Total Fitness DVDs - if you do the latter, use their code "10off" for a discount. Mark Laham also has some free videos on his site. :) Yin Yoga DVD has the following, each of which are pretty much an hour. Front Line Sequence Back Line Sequence Hips and Pelvis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Yesterday ran 4 miles Today did an 11 mile bike ride. Negin~thanks for the yoga recommendation. I'm always looking for "not weird" yoga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I'm terrible at exercising, but the kids and I have walked 3 days this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 All the Right Moves: Amazing Legs - tough and effective workout. Negin~thanks for the yoga recommendation. I'm always looking for "not weird" yoga. Lisa, Sarah Ivanhoe is so often recommended for the "not weird" yoga fans. :) She has a few DVDs and many like her. I gave the link for what's on offer at Total Fitness DVDs. There are more of her stuff on amazon, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeacefulChaos Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Ran again this morning, 8/2, 2.5 miles. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Got up early since dh was home and went for a run sans 4 yr old. Woohoo! Had a nice alternating between fast walk/light jog, good pace run, and hard core sprint. I'd like to get in some Jackie Warner this afternoon. I need to buy gloves for the kettlebell. The handle is plastic and has groves along the top and bottom. Made my hand sore rather quickly when I was practicing/learning how to do moves. I have not mastered snatch. That's a hard move.

Negin Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Went for a lovely swim yesterday. Gorgeous sunset.About to do Ellen Barrett: Live Power Fusion. Ran again this morning, 8/2, 2.5 miles. :) Kara, great job. Got up early since dh was home and went for a run sans 4 yr old. Woohoo! Had a nice alternating between fast walk/light jog, good pace run, and hard core sprint. I'd like to get in some Jackie Warner this afternoon. BTW, I love your siggy quote. :) Nice that you got to go for a run alone. I just tried out my first Jackie Warner DVD a few weeks ago. Liked it a lot.

Mom-ninja. Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Negin, timely post for me as this morning was a short workout. I didn't even accidently break a sweat. I did 20 min of Jackie with my oldest. I spent most of the time helping him. So not really a workout for me, but better than nothing.

Negin Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 So not really a workout for me, but better than nothing. Yes, definitely better than nothing. That's how it is for me this morning.
