Pentagenarians & Beyond: November 9, 2025

This morning I did Jane Adams Gentle Yoga for 18 minutes.

Diane Sue, great job with Caroline Jordan Osteoporosis exercises, CDorner Stability Ball glutes, legs, and abs, CDorner lower stretch, and Jessica Vallant neck stretch. You seem to have found new trainers to address your specific needs. That’s good.

Cathy, nice job with Live Weight Plate Abs and Boss Band Loops and Weights Metabolic.

Valerie, nice job with XTrain Bis and Tris and therapy exercises.

Hello to Judy.
 
We did a "real" hike today in the mountains. its been snowy until the last few days when it got quite warm. it was 60 degrees. we started in snowy/icy muddy conditions. got to the top, took us 4.5 hours up and back down. it was the first significant hike for DH's knee and my cranky back. it went very well! its a very rough trail, all kinds of roots rocks, mud, branches, and patches of deep snow alternating with no snow at all. its not like the trails in the park. we felt very optimistic by the time we got done. i feel the new PT is helping me. his knee is functioning very well, not up to kicking steps in snow yet but a rough trail is ok.

diane sue, carolyn mentioned how well you are adapting to modify your routine to fit your needs currently. i am going to take a look at the people you are using too. right now Im doing what my new PT person has recommended. i can certainly add to it. much of Cathe's workouts are not compatible. im hoping some of the intermediate ones will work for me as i continue to improve.

Valerie, great job with the “real” hike.

Hello to Judy, Cathy, and Diane.
 
Yesterday I did Ramped Up Upper Body. I used lighter weights than I usually would for this workout since I’m still being very careful with my shoulder. Today I went for an indoor walk with my husband and did 40 minutes of Peloton stretching and mobility work.

Carolyn-Great job with Jane Adams Gentle Yoga and Gloved Up and Sweaty.

Valerie-Great job with your hike.

Hi to Cathy & Diane
 
Sunday I did My Finished Step workout, Monday STS2 Mat Yoga and today Stretch Max with the ball. Hasn't been a productive few days. Going to my parents tomorrow instead of today because he said they would still be getting snow. Of course, he went shopping today and cleaned off their ramp. Ugh I don't think all together we got even 2" of snow here, but they get lake effect snow and got more like 8.

Valerie that's excellent that your husband had no issues from your hike.
 
Today I did STS 2 Upper Body 1 express, 46 minutes, 100 calories burned, average heart rate 103, and maximum heart rate 132. It is very cold here yesterday and today. It was 29 degrees this morning. I bundled up and went to Costco after my workout.

Judy, great job with Ramped Up Upper Body, walking, and Peloton stretching and mobility.

Cathy, great job with your Finished Step workout, Mat Yoga, and Stretch Max with the ball.
