Pentagenarians & Beyond: December 14, 2025.

Today I did Jane Adams Gentle Yoga for 18 minutes.

Valerie, I don’t listen to much music anymore in terms of streaming or radio station. When I spent a lot of time in my car I had favorite stations. Usually those with music from 90s, 2k, and today. I have access to both Apple Music and Amazon Music.

Hello to Judy, Diane Sue, and Cathy.
 
I did a 10 min spin warm up then 2 parts of stacked upper body, twice. trying to get back to doing the whole thing of 2 repeats of all 3 segments. I'll do two of the last two later today. unless we lose power with a windstorm today. also did therapy x2 yesterday. and a little garden work. more rain today.
I'm going to look at Sirius again and see if there are different categories i can look at for an update. i likely have apple music but never even looked at it. i know there is not much on the radio anymore. we are outside the city and with the mountains, reception takes a dive quickly.
 
Today I did JS HiiT Walk, 30 minutes, 179 calories burned, 136 average heart rate, and 164 maximum heart rate.

Valerie, great job with spinning, part of stacked sets upper body and therapy exercises. I’m sure that you can find something that you like on Sirius. Both Apple and Amazon are subscription services. I don’t use them enough to subscribe.

Hello to Judy, Cathy, and Diane Sue.
 
Saturday I did a 30-minute Peloton ride and 15 minutes of stretching. Yesterday I did 30 minutes of Peloton Upper Body and Core work. Today I did a 30 minute Peloton ride and 30 minutes of Yin Yoga.

Carolyn-Great job with Jane Adams Gentle Yoga and JS HiiT Walk.

Valerie-Great job with spinning, stacked sets upper body and therapy work.

Hi to Cathy and Diane Sue
 
Ill give a try to some different sirius channels. the main thing is on montana drives and DH turns the radio on and off so i will see if he would like to try something different.

going to do a short workout before dinner. already did 2 sessions of therapy.

did a 10 min spin and 10 min on elliptical as warmup and then two segments of stacked upper body, the two i skipped yesterday. all went fine. that plus the therapy work made enough of a workout.

I have been busy. I took 3 days off this week. Tuesday I hosted my ladies group Christmas, Friday my husband and I went to the eye doctor and ran errands early. Saturday I did CDorner Fast Basic Step and Abs, skipping the crunches and oblique crunches, 47 minutes, 267 calories, heart rate 122/152, 3,825 steps. I also did Jessica Valant Scoliosis work, 50 minutes, 89 calories. Sunday morning was family Christmas at my daughter's house and no workout. I spent a lot of time making pie and deviled eggs.
Today I did CDorner All Standing Upper and Lower body workout (biceps, triceps, and shoulders) 39 minutes, 154 calories, heart rate 101/135. Lift Move and Restore low impact cardio bonus, 14 minutes, 87 calories, and Jessica Valant Shoulder Mobility and Gentle Full Body Stretch, 25 minutes, 53 calories. Total time 78 minutes, 294 calories. My shoulder has been hurting for several days. I lightened up compared to what Chris was using.
 
Today I did 30 minutes of Peloton Strength work and a 20 minute stretch.

Valerie-Great job with the spin, elliptical, stacked sets upper body and therapy work. I hope you find some Sirius channels that you like.

Diane Sue-Great job with CDorner Fast Basic Step and Abs, Jessica Valant Scoliosis work, CDorner All Standing Upper and Lower body workout, Lift Move and Restore low impact cardio bonus and Jessica Valant Shoulder Mobility and Gentle Full Body Stretch. I hope your shoulder feels better soon.

Hi to Carolyn & Cathy
 
Two sets of therapy work today, then 15 minutes spinning and half of Rev'd up rumble. not sure if I can do that kind of workout anymore but the first half isn't bad. will try to ease back into it. and see how it goes.
 
Yes, I'm out here. My trip got delayed for 2 days because of a snowstorm in IN, not the place I had expected would be a problem. LOL Got to Nick's yesterday and we're doing the zoo today. A zoo with Nick is more of a workout than with Derek, because there is far less standing around, but with Derek I'd do the whole thing at least twice if not three times and we're only going through once. I had planned to workout while I'm here, but discovered this morning, but discovered my password had stopped working. A recurring theme in the last 6 months, but even though it said it accepted the new password, it wouldn't work, so I sent a message to support and just did some stretching.

I listened to mostly audio books in the car this trip, and when I did the big trip to visit both of them in May, but audiobooks wouldn't work so well for two people unless they can agree. I also have a Spotify account, though I may switch to the free version, since while I use it a lot when I'm driving more locally, and some at home, I don't really use a lot of the features that come with the pay version, I just don't have to listen to the adds. My music tastes are pretty varied a lot of 70-80's stuff, some country and some current. For a lot of it it's more artist specific.
 
I didn’t work out yesterday. We spent the entire day in various medical appointments, only one of which was planned. It was a very exhausting day. This morning I did KCM’s Cardio Quick Fix workout one. That was 26 minutes, 162 calories burned, average heart rate 132, and maximum heart rate 162.

Diane Sue, great job with CDorner All Standing Upper and Lower Body, LMR cardio bonus, and Jessica Valant mobility and stretching.

Judy, great job with Peloton Strength and Stretch.

Valerie, great job with therapy work, spinning, and part of Rev’d Up Rumble.

Cathy, I’m glad that you made it to Nick’s despite the bad weather.

Have a wonderful day everyone.
