Daily exercisers (week of 11/25)

[Melman]

It's back to the grind this week. I've had two 2-day work weeks in a row...first, for a conference and then for Thanksgiving. I'm also back in class this week, so I won't be around very much. The end is near...the last full week of classes is next week.

I worked out with weights this morning. I'm also finished lugging boxes up and down the attic steps. I'm sure I did the equivalent of a stairclimber workout as well. :D

I saw Sheila posted today's workout on the thread for last week...

Who's next?

I managed to squeeze in a yoga class tonight! :D I saw the opportunity and jumped on it. Thank heavens for yoga!

Who's next?

I can report some yoga that I managed to squeeze in yesterday! Today was a 12 hour shift, so only lots of walking to tell about.

I can see that as we head into the Holidays I am going to have to make a real effort to get my workouts in on a regular basis. I think I will shoot for 4 cardio workouts a week between now and Christmas. I try to do at least that in any given week, but if I manage that much in the weeks ahead, I will be satisfied. Gotta be realistic....

So here is the first (hopefully of 4) cardio workouts this week....45 min on the TM. I also did some yoga when I first woke up.

Anyone else working out today?

I took a yoga class last night from someone different than normal. Much slower...lots more emphasis on breathing...and about a zillion downdogs. :D It was fun, but I like my other two regular instuctors better.

Still working on the 5 Tibetan Rites, every morning. I can report that I'm up to 15 reps each. Around 10 reps, I started noticing an increase of energy. I feel a lot calmer inside, which is really good for me, as I deal with high blood pressure. The downward and upward facing dog is the hardest, but I'm taking a moment to rest once or twice, and then am able to continue and finish. 5-10 minutes tops. I can't complain about the time spent on this routine.

Since I am feeling pretty good, I also am adding a few minutes to stretch the hamstrings. It's another yoga move; bend down towards the floor, straightening the legs and lifting up through the buttocks. It's not as easy as it sounds.

An hour of racquetball and a couple of hours of field hockey are regular scheduled activites each week now. With the weather changing, I find it really hard to get out and walk. It's dark and the weather is bad most of the week, which pushes walking to the already busy weekends.

I did some yoga this AM followed by 50 min on the TM.

I've been doing the water aerobics every Tues and Thurs (except T'giving day) and DD2 has been going with me!:)

Good job, everyone!

Yesterday I went to spin class. This morning was treadmill/upper body weight workout.
