Luckymama Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Yesterday dh and I went for a walk that morphed into a 7 mile walk/hike :lol: We started on neighborhood streets, hooked up with the city bike/walking trail, stopped after almost 5 miles at the Starbucks downtown for iced decafs (and extra cups of ice :lol: ), and then hiked through the state park woods on our way home on more neighborhood streets. It was awesome :party: We have to increase our hiking stamina before Alaska :D 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soror Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 PT exercises and a small walk Sunday. Poor dh has plantar fascitis and is having trouble walking long distances, which really stinks as that was something I loved to do with him. Yesterday dh and I went for a walk that morphed into a 7 mile walk/hike :lol: We started on neighborhood streets, hooked up with the city bike/walking trail, stopped after almost 5 miles at the Starbucks downtown for iced decafs (and extra cups of ice :lol: ), and then hiked through the state park woods on our way home on more neighborhood streets.It was awesome :party: Sounds like wonderful fun! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Training at gym, probably 45 min elliptical, some weeding and general yardwork later 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Yesterday dh and I took a nice long walk (sadly we have no Starbucks or lovely paths, we looked at the standing water in the fields though :huh: ). I took a long run this morning. I haven't in awhile. It was lovely except for the mosquitoes. Yikes, they are terrible. I'm sure I looked amusing ~run, slap, run brush back, run,swipe neck. I hope to take my kiddos swimming this afternoon. We are scheduled for thundershowers at some point but I believe it's supposed to be about 5pm after it's good and hot. DD is supposed to have a soccer game at 5:30 but we shall have to wait and see. Enjoy a lovely Monday all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Body weight cardio I'm done with booty boot camp. Now, I'm doing FB30 with dh. I'm going to add more videos for myself though. Today I added yoga w/ Adriene day 7. Then I practiced crow pose and headstand. My shoulders need to build strength. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I played some great ladies double tennis yesterday evening for close to an hour, then we got rained out. Boo. I'm off to go for a bike ride to the mall and buy some running shorts and bra. Hopefully I'll get in some tennis this evening, too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 4 mile run this morning followed by 400yds of swimming. It does feel good to swim after my run. The run was hard but not awful. I have at least 2 kids down with a stomach bug (my youngest thinks he could be sick, but is unsure.). I'm afraid it may derail my week. My kids get sick and over it quickly, but stomach things have taken me down for close to a week. I hope I avoid the worse of this one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommybee Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Just finished up my workout and may take a walk as well. Today was mostly weights so I need some cardio. I did 21 Day fix Dirty 30 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnE-girl Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Absolutely nothing since DD talked me into a very short mother-daughter run to the school for a Cub Scout activity Saturday morning. I did manage to fit into a regular running skirt that I haven't worn in a while. I think the baby will give me a few more weeks to wear it if I can keep the waistband below my belly. I need to get some maternity workout clothes, but I hate spending the money on something that I won't be wearing for very long. Any suggestions for good places to look? I've had a migraine since yesterday and today is humid and dark, threatening storms, so I'm hoping for a better day tomorrow. I'm a little jealous of those who are getting in good workouts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Kim- glad the running is going better, hopefully the bug passes quickly. AnnE- no idea on maternity workout wear but I've found some nice but cheaper stuff at KMart and also Target. They have some models that are low rise so perhaps that would be low enough? I just wore my regular yoga pants before until I killed the elastic :) 40 min done- PT- Shoulder neck, stretches and exercises; Core work; push-up and pull-up work I've officially finished Mutu but I've kept at it, probably about 5 days a week, I aim for 7 but don't usually make it that much. Since I've finished I just pick about 5-7 exercises and do those, some MuTu and some not. I tried hanging leg raises today but my abs said I wasn't ready as they started bulging. I did pushups nice and slow to try and make sure I'm using both shoulders evenly. I've been in a yoga funk since I hurt my neck, it is feeling better but still causing me some issues. Feeling a little meh right now about it and it is just not feeling like a balanced thing to only focus on it, I think especially with Ashtanga there is too much push work without any real work on the pulling muscles. Anyway, I'm playing a lot with functional movement, MovNat stuff and Katy Bowman, crawling, hanging, climbing and other fun stuff. One week from tomorrow I start my Aerial Silks class, I'm crazy nervous but this is a newb class and I'm thinking I'm fitter than the average newbie so it should be ok. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a migraine since yesterday and today is humid and dark, threatening storms, so I'm hoping for a better day tomorrow. I'm a little jealous of those who are getting in good workouts. I don't recall doing any (or missing any) heavy-duty work-outs while pregnant; just being pregnant was work-out enough for the most part. I tried continuing with Taekwon-Do, and the dobak was perfect to wear as there was a drawstring. I quickly discovered that there were just too many movements that I wasn't comfortable doing so I had to cross-train during pregnancies. I did aquafit, and was able to fit into my regular swimsuit. I also did yoga, and just wore the pants low under the baby-belly. Other than that, I walked - not special clothes needed. You could try looking at conseignment stores for exersice clothing to wear while and just after pregnancy. I'm like you and didn't want to spend big bucks on temp clothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I just sized up in yoga pants and wore them under my belly and a pair of ds's soccer shorts. I think I bought a guys tank too. I did not need to be hot. It was 7 years ago though so they probably have way cuter options niw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Sunday - didn't do much. Extended family stuff intervened. Today: walk at lunchtime, worked in the garden after supper. Walk with husband and dog before bed. 16,600 steps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Instead of tennis, I went for a marathon bike ride. 16,000 peddle pushes + 1 sore butt. ;) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today- I did fb abdominals/cardio early this morning with my 20 yo dd. I should have saved the link to post. We only did half of It- was full of burpees- ugh. Plus I worked through 4 katas and did some bo staff. Tonight I got to go to double martial arts classes and then free rolling time afterwards. I am sore and happy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I used to work out twice a day, and I'd like to do that again. It's just really really hard to do that. It's easier to get my workout in when the kids are in bed. By late afternoon/evening things are hectic and it's difficult trying to squeeze out some more time. I need to though cause by 5 or 6 in the evening I have zero patience left. I am done. Toast. I'm snappy at everyone cause I just want everyone TO LEAVE ME ALONE. Not that having a high schooler, middle schooler, and brand new primary schooler is wearing me thin or anything. This morning HIIT (evan burpees are a bugger), added 5 min torture (after the first workout my thighs were refusing to work near the end), and cool down. This afternoon I'd like to do a low impact. We'll see if I manage. And the kids are fighting about who gets what for breakfast. Sigh. The day begins..... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Well, I think I got that stomach bug, but it just has been a bit off, not too bad as long as I don't eat much. I pushed and ran 4 miles this morning. I don't think it was a smart decision. I am determined to get back to my regular running milage, but my body is not with me on this and forcing 4 miles while sick was very, very hard. I feel competely whiped out and I'm going to have a hard time getting through my day. My two youngest boys are supposed to have their last little league game tonight, but it's looking like rain. I want them to be able to play, but I would love to not go to that game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Swimming (or perhaps just relaxing in the hot tub) and mixed doubles tennis on the agenda for this afternoon. I'll have to walk the dogs, too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extendedforecast Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Sunday was a rest day. Yesterday I cleaned all day in preparation for my parents visit. I focused on my kids rooms upstairs, so hopefully all the stair climbing and vacuuming helped a little. Today I went to my bootcamp class. My abs are still sore from Friday! Seriously, I was having to use my old moves from when I had my c-sections to get out of bed all weekend. I think it was the kick-backs that made me so sore on Friday. The instructor said that we'd be doing more abs and back, so hopefully I'm not so sore tomorrow. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'm considering taking next week as a total rest week. I've not taken a whole week off on purpose (and without illness or injury) for a very long time but I keep feeling twinges of charlie horses that are a little off and am wondering if I just need a break. My martial arts school will be closed so I wouldn't have to miss classes. How many of you ladies do this? As far as today's workout- a mile walk in almost 100 degree weather. It was actually more like a walking swim given the humidity:( My left calf is aching (the one I tore a year ago) so I'm not sure about tonight's martial arts class.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Reishy- I took a weak off and it was a good thing. Kim-hope you're feeling better wintermom-hot tub sounds great I took a 10k walk with dh and did yoga today. My back is still off. I can run, walk, etc but standing up from a forward fold is a no go. I'll be teaching by pushing myself up with my hands. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I rode the bike at the gym while dh had his training session. Had hopes for yard/garden work but we had a huge storm pass through so...nope. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soror Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Joy- take care of your back! reishy- while we were gone on vacation all I did was hike/walk for 2 wks, it was great for me I think. I think our bodies need rest and downtime, otherwise we get run down and injured. Enjoy the time off! Kim- I hope you take today off and just get better!!! Yesterday: 30 min- shoulder/neck pt exercises/stretches and core; No official walk but outside time walking around and playing with the girls Today; 1.5 hr Ashtanga Class and PT; crazy nervous; need to get in gear so I can eat a bit before I go 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Sounds like some rest is needed for some of you. I did get in my low impact workout yesterday evening. Let's see if I can get back into that as a regular routine. This morning was a short upper body strength. I plan on yoga tonight. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Today I will go for a walk (just 3-4 miles) and clean up storm-related debris. And garden. And weed. The weather is gorgeous :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintermom Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I went for a short bike ride this morning. My backside is still sore from my long ride a couple days ago! I'll be playing a competitive match of ladies doubles tennis this evening. Hopefully it will be fun and we won't be crushed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnE-girl Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Yesterday I did the Denise Austin prenatal cardio and strength training dvd, plus a couple short walks. This morning the dog and I walked 1.6 miles since DH had to be at an early meeting and I didn't have a lot of time. TMI, but I'm now trying to decide if I need to call my midwife about the occasional dripping feeling I've been having for a couple days. Hard to tell if it's bladder, normal pregnancy stuff, or amniotic fluid to be worried about. If it continues during a couple errands this morning, I'm calling when we get home. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soror Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Thinking of you Ann-E, hope its nothing! Luckymama- totally jealous- its not so great here, a very toasty week. Yoga done, it went well. I skipped all the shoulderstands and plows since my neck is still hurting. I did do my headstand but did it on the wall and held it easily, just need to practice more. Hoping for a walk tonight after super. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I injured my back a few days ago. My sister in law is coming for a visit and sleeping in our gym (why do people keep calling it a living room?) so I'm just going to wait until she leaves. I think I'm done with Shaun T. At least every day. This is my second injury from his programs and I've never injured myself working out before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I made it through teaching class without embarrassing myself or curling into a ball of pain. Weirdly I then ran 3 mikes which didn't hurt at all. Taking off my shoes though. Ow! Ann-E- I hope it's nothing.

Laura Corin Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I've been training a new person at work, so no time to walk at lunchtime. She was throwing up on Tuesday, so I'm hoping I haven't caught anything. Anyway. Slow walk with dog and Husband last night not quite 10,000 steps. Brisk walk through sopping wet fields and into the woods with dog tonight for 12,000 steps. I discovered that my new waterproof hiking boots are not - fifteen minutes through wet grass and my socks inside were soaked. Very irritating as they are very comfy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnE-girl Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Thanks for the good thoughts. I called my midwives' office and was reassured, from what I described, that it's probably bladder issues (yay 3rd babies), but to call if it gets worse. I'm 18 weeks, so definitely way too early for any amniotic fluid to be coming out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soror Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I ended the day with a leisurely walk, which was all I could handle after 90 min of Ashtanga Yoga and PT.

It was a fun ab video. Some new moves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 So good to feel like you belong! It's a little ironic that it was this particular match gave me such confidence. The team we played are on the snobbish and "thou are not worthy to pick up my tennis ball" end of the participants range in this league. I guess at ages 55+ some of them are still expecting a phone call from the pro tour inviting them to play at the US Open, or something. :lol: Most everyone else is just thrilled to still be able to play a great match and be able to move the next day! ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
