Negin Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Woke up very late. Hoping to soon do a Joyce Vedral workout, not sure which one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Last week got crazy so I did work out but never posted. Then Saturday I had a migraine. Today we have church and a ballet program so I'm going to try to fit in some yoga. We shall see. My 19 yo showed up so I've made favorite foods and need to pull back today. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Tonight is the last of 4 evenings of tennis in a row. I'll be playing a singles match, which will mean more running and hitting the ball than in doubles. So, I need to rest up today so I won't be a complete jellyfish for tonight. And of course, this is the one day it's actually nice enough outside to ski, snowshoe or skate. If I do any of these things I'll never make it to tennis. Bummer. Oh well. Perhaps another warmish day will turn up in the next month or so. ;) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Rest day. Cleaned house. Yes, I normally listen to music while doing a FB video. I turn on Pandora. However, I don't mind his voice. He's got good information on form and such if you listen. I like the videos he does together with his wife. They joke around and laugh. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintermom Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Tennis went really well last night. We might go skating today at the indoor arena. Big surprise (NOT!), it's back down to -24C. I really need to change my user name. Winter is no longer my favourite. :glare: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 It's been a long time since I've done an Ellen video. This morning was lower body. I thought I'd be sore from my long workout on Sat but I wasn't. Maybe I wasn't pushing myself enough. Felt like I was. We'll see if I'm sore tomorrow. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 It was -5 but I couldn't stand it anymore so ran. Also a quick 30 min yoga and kettle bell swings with a 30 lb kettlebell. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Btw- glad no one could see me doing the ab video. I could not keep up with the beat! I guess it's a new challenge for me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Rieshy :lol: So the trainer upped my weights again :D I spent 30 min on the elliptical after the session. My abs and shoulders and glutes will be sore tomorrow :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshirtyogapantmama Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Treadmill while watching Netflix/Amazon. I've been under the weather, so I am not pushing myself too much. I am walking at least a 1/2 mile everyday with the hopes of getting up to 1-2 daily in a week. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I did 45 minutes of MMA. SO HARD! I watched sweat fling across the room after a kick. It was icky. I did notice that my entire body was worked out. I wasn't expecting quite that level of fitness. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rieshy Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Wahoo Slache! Double MMA class tonight- after a week of ice closure it felt marvelous to be on the mat even though I had the speed of a cow. The cold Is in my very bones. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'm simply delighted that Multi-Quote is working again! :D I was "this" close to heading back to sleep, since I'm absolutely exhausted. Decided that it's not worth it, since the sleep won't be quality this late in the morning. Going to soon do Joyce Vedral's Just Thighs & Arms workout. Negin- your avatar of beautiful warm water is balm for this cranky iced in mom. :grouphug: I wish some of you were here and could enjoy the warmth and heat, any and all of you that are tired of the cold, Winter Mom included. I used to get so tired of winter also. Now that I've here for so many years, I miss having four seasons, not too much cold, however. It's been a long time since I've done an Ellen video. It had been a long time for me also. I'd missed her. This wasn't her best and not one that I'll be bookmarking/downloading, but good to do her workout nonetheless. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim in Appalachia Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 It's been a crazy week. Lately, every week has been crazy, when will it slow???? Sunday-rest day. It was my birthday and 3 of my kids were in an orchestra concert in the city. It was fun and we went out to dinner where I enjoyed fish and chips Monday-5 mile run in the morning and an hour of yin yoga before bed. Tue-45 mins of yoga this morning. I have lots of errands today, and it's still cold and nasty out. I just want to stay home. I'm also a bit stressed. My sister finds out the results of her biopsy today. I know she's more stressed than I am, but still. I'm on freak out. Her appointment is around noon, so I'm just waiting. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Corin Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Sunday: no exercise whatsoever - worked on a job application all day Monday: no memory of what I did, but apparently I got in my 10,000 steps Tuesday: yoga, but managed 10,000 too - a first. I did run on the spot for five minutes just before bedtime to get the last few steps in...... Have been working on stretching whilst otherwise inactive: head rolls whilst filling up the car; stretches whilst waiting for the kettle or the photocopier.... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rieshy Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Tuesday night: martial arts class followed by kettle bell class. We did the deep six 3 times: http://www.strongfirst.com/how-to-conquer-the-dreaded-deep-6/ Then a ladder drill that started with 2 swings, farmers carrying walk for 10 yards ending in 10 goblet squats. Carry bell to start and do 4 swings. Carry back to squat station and do 9 goblet squats. Carry back and fort continuously adding swings and subtracting squats until you reach 20 swings and 1 goblet squat. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollie010 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I haven't posted in a while, but I've been doing my gym workout three times a week and enjoying it. I feel like it's time to start pushing a little more so I will probably make an appointment with the trainer. :) He certainly knows how to push. I went with my mom on Saturday to the gym and watched her slam out a one hour ab routine--a bit intimidating to watch, but I was so proud of how far she has come in one year. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof3littles Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Sunday ran 40 mins, squats, lunges, transverse abs, etc Monday ran 20 mins, upper body lifting Tues took off Wednesday...about to hop on the treadmill for at least a half hr. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I didn't work out yesterday, but I was still very impressive throughout much of the day. Today's plan is another 45 minutes of MMA. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3in9th Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Didn't get around to working out yesterday as I was working on a giveaway for my blog and then it was also my birthday. Today I need to work off the duck dinner and tiramisu. ;-) Headed to the gym in a bit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Kim-I'm hoping all your stress diminishes and your sister gets the best possible news. Laura-that sounds like something I would do. Slache-you're always impressive ;) Lollie-go get 'em Winter on- it is 19 and sunny and it feels like a heat wave.narctic cold is back tonight though -sigh Yesterday I did yoga and zip. Today is sort of my rest day. I did the yoga video that is part of a 30 days of yoga thing I'm working on and I will walk and stretch later but nothing intense. Dh works this weekend and is off today and it's co-op day so no running today made more sense. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, grammar question. If your name isn't capitalized and I'm using it to start a sentence do I capitalize it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 My sister's news was good! She was all clear, though the doctor wants her to have genetic testing and wants to keep a close watch on her. But there is much relief all around. Today was a 5 mile run, and I've become addicted to House of Cards. I just finished episode 5 of season 1 (season 3 just came out) so I have plenty to watch. :) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyofsixreboot Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Kim- so glad for your sister. That will keep what is really important in perspective. Slache- it's a combination Zumba and Rip. Basically a lot of weight work with music. It leaves me sore the next day but it's right before my yoga class and I'm trying to up my weight work. All us old ladies are supposed to I hear ;) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Kim, great news. You all should do something to celebrate life and health. I'm sore. Today was shorter workout than the last few days. Upper body strength/toning. Chest/back, arm/shoulder, tank top, and fluid stretch I eased way up on the weights because my shoulder is on the border of going on strike from the last few days of harder work. I did not go above 9 lbs and for some I did 6 or 5 lbs. The tank top video I followed along with Kelli using 3 lbs like she did. Those shoulder circles is how I think I injured my shoulder awhile ago. I did them with 5 lb weights. I'm not sure that's what caused the injury. I'm guessing. In my A&P class we are going over the different tissue types. The text book said that "cartilage, tendons/ligaments, and skeletal muscles are slow to regenerate as anyone who has suffered a sports injury knows." When I read that I thought, "No sh!t. At least I'll remember that for the test." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Wednesday: ended up being a full rest day because of general school busyness and unexpected company. Thursday: session with my PT, then martial arts. I also am throwing in some kata work and stretching this a.m. I miss running!!!!

Joyofsixreboot Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Well, we discovered the water heater quit working when dh showered this morning. Brrr so I did a 45 min elliptical and rushed home to call and wait on repair. I did my 30 day yoga challenge vid while waiting ( oh, and school). Thermostat replaced and should have hot water soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 More MMA. Now that I know what I'm up against I'm going to create a routine with yoga and maybe push ups? What do you guys add? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Haven't missed any WO this week but probably will miss all MA. I'm feeling just under the weather enough to have no oomph and that could be a recipe for injury at MA. Slache, if I didn't already have a program I would be all over the MoveSkill WOs. I've posted about it before and I think it's brilliant. Basically, it's about creating a balanced athlete. Here are the athletic levels. Here is the program. I really can't say enough about having intelligent progressions towards a goal. First, it's measurable, second it keeps you focused on a goal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My goal was to get in shape and weigh 160. Now I'm in pretty good shape and weigh... well... we won't go there. Now I'm just looking for continued improvement. I'd say I'm a level 2, except that I can't tackle "whatever" I want. I shall look more into this at nap time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
