This morning was Live 80's Style Cardio with Low Impact Blasts. I knew this would have some impact, but I actually adapted more for carpet than impact. Those 80's moves were meant for gym floors. Very fast paced. Then I did Live Yoga and Mobility Stretch. Very thorough. No rain in the forecast till Wednesday. Just going to be hot, that means real feels in the 90's. It's already real feel 90 today and it's not quite 10 a.m. We're getting air quality alerts from the Canadian fires, but it's really not noticeable here.
This morning I did Jane Adams Gentle Yoga for 18 minutes. My daughter is leaving today. It’s been wonderful having her here for last 2 weeks.
Valerie, nice job with the trail ride.
Diane Sue, nice job with Pyramid Pump warm up, back and biceps, and stretch.
Cathy, great job with Live 80’s Style Cardio with Low Impact Blasts and Live Yoga and Mobility Stretch. I agree with you about the older moves being meant for gym floors.
Hello to Judy and Shannon. Have a great day everyone.

whops i think i posted on last weeks thread.
we walked the park walk for 3 miles. it goes around the edges of the campground in one section even if most of it is in the woods and along bluffs over the water. there was someone playing loud music at 8 am this morning. wow, talk about being a jerk. a boombox. actually any time of day is not appropriate to blast music. thats what i thought most want to get away from. we would have reported it to a ranger but we didnt see anyone, and not sure where the campground host is camped. our route does not go thru the camping area. I wish we had rain in the forecast. summers here are dangerously dry.
traveling tomorrow.

Today I did a 30-minute Peloton row and 30 minutes of strength work. I’m doing a Peloton Row challenge for July so I’ll be doing a bit more rowing than usual for the next couple of weeks. Also, I’m going on seasonal leave at Home Depot. I’ll have the fall and winter off and will be able to go back next spring if I want to and if they need the help.
Cathy-Great job with Live 80's Style Cardio with Low Impact Blasts and Live Yoga and Mobility Stretch. We have the air quality alerts too. I agree, it’s not really noticeable here.
Carolyn-Great job with Jane Adams Gentle Yoga, JS HiiT Walk and Stacked Sets Upper Body. I’m sure you will miss having your daughter there. Hopefully she can visit you again soon.
Valerie-Great job with your park walk. I hope you had a good trip yesterday.

Yesterday was a lost cause as far as workouts were concerned, but I hadn't taken a complete day off in about 2 weeks so that's ok. Didn't sleep well, got up and had to deal with cat drama, late for getting breakfast and finally just tossed the idea of any workout. Went to the zoo today and walked. Then went to my parents. Got my Dad a Fazoli's gift card for his upcoming birthday. That is their go to place for eating. They each get a kid's meal and don't always eat it all. I watch these people eat and I would starve to death. I realize they are burning extremely few calories, but still. And heaven forbid they drink water.
Valerie I hope you had a good trip.
Carolyn I'm sure you greatly enjoy having your daughter visit.
Judy it'll be nice for you to have a break from working.

the drive yesterday was hot and long. it was in the 80's already in the morning and got to 99 in later afternoon. AC helps but its still unpleasant. much prefer clouds and even rain. 11 hours. all went ok otherwise but i could not sleep last night so dragging around here like dead meat all day. no exercise yesterday.
this afternoon i did half of stacked upper body. and some limited amount of therapy. my back has some a new sore spot that im bothered by and not sure what was the cause. i did a limited amount of therapy and icing it to see if it settles down. we had a new trail cam set up because the old one failed but something is not right with this one either. we had some pronghorns walking right by the camera and got some pics but the disc does not want to play them back properly. not sure if its the disk or the disk reader? we will take the disk back with us and look on another computer and see if it works
if you need a really nice unfussy ice pack, get an Elastogel. i got thru Amazon. depending on size, about $30. we've used it a thousand times. soft and squishy and comfortable with an attached velcro strap. we've had one for years but recently got another. easier to use than ice. not stiff. things don't get wet. you can use them for heat also. i have it on my low back right now and it stays in place with the velcro. a great product.

Today I did CDorner Rockn' Cardio (tabata blast) 32 minutes, 223 calories, heart rate 139/162 followed with CDorner Full Body Stretch, first 17 minutes, 41 calories. Total time 49 minutes, 264 calories. I always follow the lower impact moves. Chris usually always shows options. Her guest did a lot of the suggestions for low impact.
Carolyn, nice work on Stacked Sets Upper Body today. It is always so quiet when family leaves. I know you had an enjoyable time while your daughter was there. My granddaughter that lives in Tulsa had someone give her sour dough starter and she brought down sour dough bread on the fourth of July. She said she would bring me some. It was yummy.
Judy, good job on the Peloton Row and Strength work. I am sure you will enjoy your time off for work. It is nice you have the option to go back if you want to in spring.
Cathy, good job getting a walk in at the zoo. There are always those days where getting a workout is just futile. With little activity I am sure your parents do not need that many calories. Just a half a kids meal does not seem like much though. They need the water.
Valerie, I always find long drives tiring. Nice work on getting in half of stacked sets and some therapy work. I hope the sore spot lets up. I always get concerned when something does not seem right. That would be nice if the close up of the pronghorn comes out better. I came across the picture I mentioned a long time ago of the buffalo named Hobie that was a pet when I was going through stuff setting up my new laptop. They owner had him since he was little and there is a donkey there. He would come up to the fence and people would pet him and get pictures. The family had a big house up on the hill. I have some freezie wraps for my knees with gel packs that slide in. I take them out and use them on other areas for icing. They came with a second set so always in the freezer.
