Tonight, I did a yoga core workout, at home.
Wow!! What a wonderful parent you are. Your son is lucky.

I went to a yoga class at the gym yesterday morning and it. was. awesome. I felt SO good afterward. I think the key for me is modifications and not trying to keep up with the rest while also pushing myself a little. I also really liked the teacher's style.

Thank you, knitchick!

I hear you about modifications. It's important to build up to various stretches and not overdo and cause injury.

I had a day of rest. Work was a bit stiffening yesterday on my feet. Well, I'm not fully giving myself credit for some of the taikwondo movements that are suggested for home, so not entirely a day of rest, but felt it because a repetition of knee raised kick out by itself isn't quite the same in my mind as a full routine of either/or.

I also sat some more with a little fun video of taekwondo with my son as he was pretty hung up on what is meant about "commitment". There was a self defense move that caught both of our attention that yes, commitment to such confidence.

Well I weighed myself I did not lose any weight but I also did not gain any weight. I go back to the gastro doc tomorrow. If I get good news this time and start feeling back. Then I’m going to start trying to go to my complex gym while my daughter is at school. Right now I’m having more problems with medical and allergies. My allergies had me down for a few hours this morning. Well I’m going to go walk my dog.

Yesterday walked 40-50 minutes total and did upper body with small hand weights and upper body exercises . This was great for me as usually walk and need to increase strength training and core exercise.

I exercised at the gym today on the treadmill for 30 minutes. It was pretty light, only walked 1.5 miles. But it's something. My goal is either as much as I can, or 3-4 times a week.
Thanks for this!

Good for you, BB And wow! 90 jumping jacks with weights daily? My knees couldn't take that, but I think that's wonderful. I hope you like it.

That's really good! I need to get back to the gym, I get a free membership at a local YMCA with my college ID so I have no excuse

An hour at PF this morning - 30 minutes on ARCTrainer with enough resistance and speed to keep HR over 150, the 30 minutes circuit training. One of the last warm days (~80) so I am paddling SUP a few miles a little later this afternoon.

I have started doing 15 minute circuits on TRX at home on "non PF days" and try to do 2-4 of the circuits.

It's been raining quite a bit here as well lately so I haven't been taking as many outdoor walks

I got around 11,000 steps yesterday. I was a server/busser for a table of 6 when I was volunteering last night and that required walking around a lot for 2 hours.
