Negin Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Rebounding - it's all I have time for today. Hope to start doing more once again by the middle of this coming week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollie010 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 On my way to the gym with the best workout partner. My son! We are sneaking out before everyone else wakes up. 😠Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 You have to be very careful if you go ahead and do extra anaerobic training, as this is where injuries can occur for us older folk. ;) Teens and young'uns in their 20s (and Martial Arts instructors that are under 40) don't think about this. My instructor finally understood when he turned 40 and realized how much more fragile his body was. :laugh: Wintermom, thank you for saying this! LOL I keep telling the kids, "You'll get it when you're my age." On my way to the gym with the best workout partner. My son! We are sneaking out before everyone else wakes up. 😠I LOVE this.

Heidi Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Recovery day today, so no workout, but I woke up super sore from yesterday's workout. Holy moly!!! It's all in my shoulders and upper back area. I did the martial arts workout. I'm really loving p90x3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Gym later this afternoon with dh (we have to move dd20 back to campus for spring semester--winter session just finished). I'll probably do a mix of cardio, Pilates, and stretching. Tomorrow is a trainer day :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Starting to feel as if I am getting a cold, so took it easy today. Took a walk along the beach on a gorgeous, crisp winter day. It's the beach where the first sequence of Chariots of Fire was filmed, and it's stunning on a day like today. I just watched that sequence again, and it looks as if it was decidedly grey and chilly the day it was filmed.... 13,000 gentle steps in all today. Now for a cup of tea and an old film.

Negin Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Only had time for 1 Mile of Leslie. Not much, but the little amount of uninterrupted time that I get for the next few days is being taken up by vacation planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom-ninja. Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I didn't get anything done this weekend. It's hard when you have house guests. This morning I did HIIT, short barre and stretch Now, I'm off for a full day at co-op teaching classes and then I have my class tonight.

Kim in Appalachia Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Yesterday was a rest day. I had wanted to do some light yoga, but my dd20, whose in college, came home for the day so we hung out. :) Today was 3 mile run then single leg dead lifts, clean & presses, plus heavy swings all with the kettlebell.

wintermom Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Wintermom, thank you for saying this! LOL I keep telling the kids, "You'll get it when you're my age." I LOVE this. Don't you miss those good old days when the body bounced back quickly from most things? Now it seems like I just have to step out of bed in the morning and I discover a new sore joint or muscle. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Sweaty and tired after training session (free weights, kettle bells, TRX) and 30 min on elliptical. But it's a good tired. At least right now ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 50 min of ice skating this morning with the dc and a friend. I just had my skates sharpened, so it was fun to be able to "grip" the ice better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 ok, so bump in the road... yesterday I was taking my eldest and his friend to another friend's house so they could have a snowball fight/party (such a crazy crowd my kids hang with, lol) I was going to exercise with dh when I got back. But, instead I got rear-ended. We got hit so hard we went spinning around and ended up in a ditch facing the other direction. We are all fine and I am not even sore today or anything. But, yesterday was a lost day for sure. And now today we have a snow day and everything feels like it is all off schedule. Blech. I didn't intend to give ds2 a snow day off from school but so much of the day has been spent on the phone with the insurance company and car rental and body shop blah blah that I just gave up trying to get to school work. I might try to get in some cardio this afternoon, but I sort of just want to sit here like a blob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'm sorry redsquirrel. You are given permission to be a blob. Although some cardio might make you feel better. Don't ever take a missed day as a bump in the road. Life happens. Don't be discouraged. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'm sorry redsquirrel. You are given permission to be a blob. Although some cardio might make you feel better. Don't ever take a missed day as a bump in the road. Life happens. Don't be discouraged. :grouphug: you are absolutely right that some cardio would help...I am just cold, lol. February is the hardest month for me, motivation wise. I am sitting here with long underwear, jeans, 2 pairs of socks (one pair is wool), tank top, turtleneck, wool sweater, fingerless wool gloves, a scarf and a wool hat. This is what I wear from January until the end of March. My desire to go upstairs and change out of my clothes into cold exercise clothes and get cold and sweaty and then change back into my cold clothes isn't very high right now. So, my desire to be a blob is only in part to all of the annoyances related to the car. BTW, the car that hit me is completely totaled. It's airbags went off and its engine was hanging out etc. It looked really bad. I might get some kettlebell in tonight with dh. We can usually motivate each other, lol. But, I will have to walk across town with ds1 to piano lessons because we don't have a car. So, that might be enough for one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 A one-mile walk at lunchtime (all that I can fit in) then three miles this evening. I've taken to accelerating up hills to increase my intensity - it's easier for me than trying to walk any faster on the flat. Tomorrow morning I need to get up and walk first thing - not my favourite schedule, but everyone else is away at the moment, so that's the only time the dog can get a decent walk. In the evening, I have yoga, then I'm treating myself to a meal out with some 75% off vouchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof3littles Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Half hr run on the treadmill this morning. Not stellar, but I'm getting faster again after two months or so mostly off from running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollie010 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I forgot to mention in my last update that I added some kettle balls to my gym routine on Sunday morning. Oh my! My arms are still sore and its Tuesday morning. I will go to the gym again this afternoon. I want to add hanging abs today, but I'm a little nervous without a spotter the first time. 😀. Hope everyone has a great day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snickerdoodle Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Same Tues routine as always. SO BUSY! Hope everyone is doing ok. Red---> :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Today was a yoga day. I think I'm going to back off kettlebell for a while and focus on yoga and running. I actually think yoga will be my first focus, then getting runs in when I can. I think I was overdoing it. My legs have been sore when I go to bed and I'm exhaused. The teaching I've been getting at the yoga studio has been so helpful, and I want to focus on good form and strengthing my core. I plan to keep up the pull-up/push-up work, I think, for me right now, that's the most important in regards to strength work (besides my core). And Red... :grouphug: sorry about your car. I'm glad everyone is ok. That's scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I got some cardio, push ups, and pull ups in. I didn't go as long as I would have liked, but it sure felt good to sweat again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyofsixreboot Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I added zip and yoga last night. I'm strongly considering getting. Certified in April as a yoga fit instructor. We shall see. I'm going to go run after this coffee. It's the day I teach co-op science so I need to get going. Kim-sounds like a good plan Lucky ama-now that's good multi-tasking Slache-glad you're feeling better Snicker and Binip-the busy thing is irritating. I hate when real life gets in the way of what I really want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintermom Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Rest day for me today, which will give my poor body a chance to recover from the skiing. There are a lot of new muscles needed in skiing - they didn't seem too pleased about being "woken up" in the middle of the winter like this! ;) The rest of the week is wonderful!! :hurray: Thur - tennis Fri - tennis Sat - tennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Well, dh had something else in mind this morning so we didn't make it to the gym ;) :lol: Today may become a rest day or I may do Pilates for an hour at home.

I am ultra ultra sore from Monday night's wo; today- active rest day, so I plan on 1-1 1/2 hour of kata work at low intensity, just working on rhythms and then Thai combo and stretching.

Snickerdoodle Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I am ultra ultra sore from Monday night's wo; Me too. And after yesterday's MA, I just feel worn out. When I laugh, my obliques hurt. And my shoulders. LOL I don't even know where to begin with that. :zombie: But I'm kind of excited bc after passing progessions last month, today's WO is finally something new for all elements. Yip!

Laura Corin Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 You guys are much tougher than I am. Last night's yoga was rather gentle - I would have preferred to work harder, but oh well. Today dog and I went two and a half times round the grounds of a local stately home. Once fast up and down the hills; the rest of the time enjoying the snowdrops and the white-painted house glowing out of the woods in the failing light. 10.000 steps.

Kim in Appalachia Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yoga this morning, then a 4 mile run this afternoon. It was sunny and warm, but the wind was constant and cold. Cold weather is coming in tomorrow so I wanted to get out there and enjoy the sunshine today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
