Hi ladies, Today I was back at the gym. I worked biceps and triceps with dumbbells from 10 pounds to 20 pounds, then did 2 leg machines. I did the sled with no weight pulling it backwards with the strap up and back and then strap over the shoulder forward pull up and back. Then floorwork...

Here is a recap of my appointment today. Saw the cardiology PA today, cleared to go back to the gym,yay!! Will have a repeat echocardiogram in 3 months, if all looks good and my heart is healing then will be reevaluated in December and possibly taken off the new medications. All this is an...

YAY!!! I can go back to the gym!!!

Hi ladies, Today I did 20 minutes of Jeanette Jenkins Sexy Arms, Abs and Legs. Basically the warm up and the 1st leg segment. Then I did 25 minutes of a Taebo Live Basic workout off YouTube wearing my boxing gloves. I broke a sweat. So I got a workout in before my doctor's appointment...

I know the song,Linda. Today's workout felt like a 'normal' workout for me to pick to do. Hopefully tomorrow the cardiologist will give me the ok to start lifting again. Here's a story from my hospital stay: the cardiology Nurse Practitioner who saw me first was a tall brusque (not sure of...

Hi ladies, Today I was feeling good and decided to do KCM Boxing Combos (36 minutes) with my boxing gloves on and then did her 8 minutes bonus flip up/ push up (which I did mostly all abs). Both off KCM TLC workout. I feel good. Nice workouts for you ladies. Have a great day!!

Add on 13 minutes of floorwork for abs, legs and glutes plus light shoulder work with 3 pound dumbbells.

Linda, when you need light and no impact Method Pilates Cardio workout fits the bill. I am not a yoga girl but occasional pilates is ok. Don't expect to burn a whole heap of calories doing it.

Hi ladies, Today I have done 30 minutes of a Method Pilates workout and the Taebo Express Kicks workout which is 11 minutes. Probably will do floorwork later. I took it easy especially on the pilates since it has been over 2 years since I had done it. Blood work is coming back so so, so far.

LOL! Siobhan, my "Workouts " were pretty lame for me. Not much movement or anything. I ended up needing to change my cardiology follow up (basically to see how my heart is doing and get clearance to actually exercise more to my normal), and it is now Wednesday!!! So hopefully on Wednesday I...

Ok. Out of boredom again, I did 22 minutes of floorwork for abs, legs and glutes plus some light dumbbell work ( 3's and 8's) for triceps and biceps with a stretch. Gotta get bloodwork done tomorrow for my kidney doctor and the hospital. Have a great evening!

Typing out what happened doesn't convey the emotions I was feeling. At home I was calmish until I did something that set my breathing off then I panicked and prayed that it would pass quickly. I realized very quickly that something was happening but I was by myself and needed to help myself...

Ok, today I laid in the sun for 2 hours. Then I just now did 15 minutes of floorwork for abs, legs and glutes plus some tricep work and then took a 10 minute walk around the block(half a block since that is what is flat) 2 times in this nice cool breezy right before a storm weather. It felt...

Linda, it was hotter the last 3 days, today is a bit cooler with a wonderful breeze.

Hi ladies, To recap: 1 week ago today, I woke up to my heart racing which led to shortness of breath and me eventually finding that my blood pressure was bottoming out. After trying a few things, to no avail any kind of activity sent my breathing into panic mode with the shortness of breath...

Ok, boredom got me. I did a very minimal 30 min. circuit consisting of lower body movements like, marching, knee lifts, low kicks, grapevine, side steps, with 3 pounds weights added for shoulder exercises while doing the leg moves consisting of side laterals, front raise, Arnold press...

Hi ladies, just had a follow up with my regular doctor. He seemed pleased with everything the hospital did for me. I was down 5 pounds from March ( though he didn't say anything about it). Cleared to travel for vacation at the end of June. Forgot to ask about exercise, but I still get...

Hi ladies, I am home. Gotta take it easy. Considered acute for the next 3 months as the medicine and my body take care of the clots. On 2 new medications to help with my heart muscle which was damaged due to the pulmonary embolisms. And a blood thinner. 3 total new meds. The...

Thanks ladies. I did get some sleep last night. I am off the IV heparin and now on an oral blood thinner. I should go home after the echocardiogram tomorrow morning. There is debate as to how long I will be on the oral blood thinner. I am able to walk around the room better, heartrate still...

Hi ladies, I will be in the hospital at least till Monday. They can't do the echocardiogram till Monday. I still can walk or sit and then stand without being short of breath and my heart races. I also have coronary artery disease and there's a chance that I didn't have a heart attack...
