Pentagenarians & Beyond: August 24, 2025

This morning I did Live Time to Hiit it Low Impact and Paired Upper Body. DH left all the windows open last night and it got down to 52 outside. He never checks for morning temps. LOL I'm totally fine with leaving them open and closing them when I get up. It was 69 in the house and we're only going to 72 and sunny. It's going to be a nice week with temps cooler overnight and in the 70's during the day. My favorite temp range.

Valerie sorry you are getting so hot.
 
This morning I did Jane Adams Gentle Yoga Morning Energy practice for 18 minutes.

Cathy, nice job with Time to HiiT It Low Impact and Paired Upper Body. Your cool weather sounds wonderful. Enjoy it.

Hello to Diane Sue, Judy, and Valerie. Have a good day everyone.
 
Yesterday I did CDorner Fast Basic Step/Abs(skipped the abs), 33 minutes, 232 calories, heart rate 143/172, 3007 steps. I then did STS 2.0 Premix Express #2 no repeats Body Parts shoulders, 23 minutes, 105 calories, heart rate 106/141. I finished off with LMR restorative yoga bonus 23 minutes, 41 calories. Total time 79 minutes, 378 calories. Afterward we went out and walk mobile home sales lots in a lot of rock and gravel. My back and feet hurt by the time we left. We are considering moving out to the country on my daughter's 15-acre property. Looking at options.

Carolyn, nice work on morning yoga. I need to do some mobility or something.

Cathy, good job on Live Time to Hiit It Low Impact and paired Upper Body today. I would not be able to sleep if it was that cold at night.
 
we rode our regular trail ride this morning the whole 15 miles. an hour 15 minutes. normal time for us too. DH is doing so well but he is absolutely resolute on doing his exercises 3-4 times a day. because of the ride today, he wont do as many. heat is not bad where we live. cooled off last night. not as bad as we all expected!. the humidity is comfortably low too. sorry for the whining! we are still nervous about fires. everything is very dry and with it being so wet most of the year I worry people are not careful enough.

I just did a workout I put together of the bonus leg exercises from STS Meso 1. Broken nights sleep, so no early workout. Going to be a perfect day out. Sunny with a high of 68 and I can wear leggings and a long sleeve T-shirt. Yay! We've had 2 hummingbirds in major fighting mode today. They are rarely actually eating, they been having aerial battles including up above the trees.

Diane Sue I prefer it cool when I sleep. It's just add more blankets if needed.

Valerie so great that your DH is doing well with his recovery.

Carolyn I'm definitely enjoying cooler weather and we have nothing over 77 before I leave for Derek's.

Hi Judy.
 
No workout for me today. My husband had a neurology appointment this morning.

Diane Sue, great job with CDorner Fast Basic Step/abs, Body Parts Shoulders, and Restorative yoga. That’s an interesting idea that you and your husband are considering. It’s good to have that option.

Valerie, good job with the ride. Your husband seems to be doing very well after the surgery.

Cathy, good job with your bonus leg workout.

Hello to Judy.
 
Yesterday I did a 30-minute Peloton ride and PT/stretching. Today I did a 60-minute Peloton ride and 30 minutes of PT work.

Cathy-Great job with Live Time to Hiit it Low Impact, Paired Upper Body and your bonus leg workout.

Carolyn-Great job with Jane Adams Gentle Yoga Morning Energy practice. I hope your husband’s appointment went well.

Diane Sue-Great job with CDorner Fast Basic Step/abs, Body Parts Shoulders, and Restorative yoga.

Today I did STS2 Body Parts Legs + bonus, 58 minutes, 197 calories, heart rate 97/138. I also did CDorner Mobility Stretch day 13, 15 minutes 37 calories. Total time 71 minutes, 234 calories.
It is late again. I finally got my dog outside at midnight. It has been raining most of the day,
 
Another day without working out. I had another appointment this morning. On the plus side I’m giving my knee more rest. It was feeling better then I moved awkwardly and started the pain again.

Judy, great job with the Peloton rides and PT work.

Diane, nice job with STS 2 Bidy Parts Legs + Bonus an CDorner Mobility Stretch.

Hello to Cathy and Valerie.
 
interesting experience this morning. did shopping early, several stores and the PO. came home and started unloading the DW while starting lunch. Was putting dishes in the cabinet when i barely brushed against the shelf above with the back of my hand . I cannot reach it so only seldom used things up there. one of the plastic shelf supports ( as we found out later) snapped and the top shelf poured everything on my head. the shelf tipped on an angle. broken crockery everywhere. what a mess! my head is sore but no cuts. we have metal supports most places but this was old original and the plastic snapped off.

carolyn can you stick a brace of some kind on the knee? a reminder to be cautious with movement and support it a little more than usual? ? hope it settles down.
