purpleowl Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Sorry I'm later than usual with the thread - I got distracted earlier when I was about to post it. But here we go! These threads are for those who'd like accountability and encouragement in doing intentional daily movement.

sbgrace Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I don't think I've ever been the first "share" post! My morning blood pressures have been good. But I happened to take my blood pressure just before bed a couple of times this week and my pressures were not so good. It surprised/disappointed me. I made an effort to get all of my activity done early today so I can check again tonight away from activity. I did: the Walk at Home boosted walk, pilates (lower body), some weights work, and I tried a relaxation focused flow yoga just now (it would be a nice way to end a day I think). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I had a 7:00am PT appointment today, so I had time for only a short (2.8K) walk before running out the door. PT was relaxed today, because I told the physical therapist how weak and sore and stiff I've been feeling. She took it easy on me today and suggested I back off a bit on the daily exercises at home between now and my next appointment. I'm currently at only about half my step count for the day (after having eaten everything I can lay hands on, sigh). So I will definitely at least go for another good walk after work. If I feel up to it, I might do some light cardio this evening, too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsheresomewhere Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 8 miles, arm exercises and some light lifting today. I started a new exercise video to help with underarm fat. I lost weight and this area is bothering me. Day two of doing this routine and it hurts in that area. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm surprised how tired the PT exercises make me. They don't get my heart rate up particuarly or anything, but I think the mental focus required, plus using muscles I wasn't using well before, is just harder on me than I expected. I've found myself having to cut back a bit on my other exercise, not just add it on like I thought. I'm just too worn down otherwise. And I'm not working full time on top of it like you are! I guess just saying, you are doing great, and if your body says slow down a bit, definitely listen to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I put off my DDPY until evening thinking I'd do the 9pm live class on zoom, but ended up feeling realy tired and I know I'm dehydrated - too much coffee, not enough water. Also have a sinus headache and just off. So instead of doing a live workout on zoom I took it easy and did Salute the Road Warrior - my favorite "off day" workout. And that was the right call, even doing an easier workout I ended up with a cramp and had to pause the workout until it went away - definitely need to drink more! Also balance is off from fluid in my ears/sinuses. Couldn't get my heart rate up either - also probably the dehydration. Going to sit here and drink something and then eat some veggies - been slacking on those last two days and my body wants them! Got zucchini, japanese eggplant, cherry tomatoes, and red onion slices in the air fryer right now. Oh, and I also did 30 minutes of physical therapy exercises earlier today and a 2 minute plank challenge. Thinking on it, that plank challenge might have something to do with the ab muscles cramping up during my workout tonight, lol.
