I really took it easy yesterday, because my back was hurting. I didn't do a workout this morning, but I'm planning on going for a walk later, which usually really helps my back. My ankle has also been hurting again...sigh. I think I'm going to have to have it checked out by the doctor.

I guess it's not so hard to gain flexibility if you do a little every day. I am eager to get back to the gym. Just have to get this move over with first.

Good news about your foot, Nawchem! There are so many benefits that I didn't expect from this "little" effort. At first I thought it would just be a good way to jump start a work-out habit. But it shows how much we can get from even low-key, but regular movement.
In February, I worked out 24 of 28 days. I don't think I've done anything that regularly in more than a decade! I'm feeling better and I'm planning on keeping it up. I'm re-starting my ticker, so the post doesn't get crazy long. Goal: Build some muscle, increase my flexibility and do PT for my ankle Feb. - 24/28 days Mar. 1 - Modified Beg. Pilates |

Nawchem, packing is hard work! I moved last summer after 5 years in the same house and I felt like moving took over my summer. Hopefully, you have less stuff since you're sharing a house and don't have to move everything. I'm with you in spirit.

Thanks CityGirl. My move was kind of crazy. My armoire drawer was stuck on moving day. That brought my landlord into the move that doesn't speak English, she kept putting my donations and storage things on the moving truck. We kept taking it off. Kind of funny. My friend says a good move is when only 1 thing breaks so my move was good. 1 broken lamp. Lost my laptop charger.
I used the rescue inhaler 2 times before I worked out but still had asthma attack on the treadmill. The fatburn program is great, it purposely keeps the heartrate down, no asthma followed. 3/1 packing boxes and cleaning for hours 3/4 treadmill fatburn, walked 1.5 miles |
Bummer about the broken lamp. They tend to have a high rate of fatality in moves. :lol: Hope the laptop charger turns up. Last time I moved I had put a moving label directly on a small stool and then I couldn't find it after I moved. I even called the moving company and had them check the truck. I finally found it in one of the last boxes I unpacked--one of the movers had gathered up several smaller things and put them in a box that was badly labeled and in a weird place.

I gave up and bought a computer charger, job search would be rough withut a computer. Today was better, no asthma attacks on the treadmill! Got my heart rate up a little higher.
The cardio room looks into the classes, saw one that might be helpful for me, mix of stretches and light strength training. I ran into one of the guys in the class at the store, now I have a friend! 3/1 packing boxes and cleaning for hours 3/4 treadmill fat burn, walked 1.5 miles 3/5 treadmill 35min |

Hey mojo :wave: Glad you did a good thing for yourself today!

The Bodyweight Strength Training switched up from "total body" to changing up between upper and lower as of today. This was upper and was way more challenging! The "breakdancer" I couldn't do at all because it requires a combination of strength and coordination that I just don't have. The "bear walk" was challenging for the same reasons. And I had trouble with the "plank" because it turns out I've been putting my arms too far out front rather than under my shoulders--doing it right is a lot harder. Well, nothing for it, but to keep at it. Luckily, I get to be incompetent in the privacy of my own home. Otherwise, I would definitely quit. Yikes.

Mojolissa, I didn't realize your back was quite so bad. I've been there--I've had repeated problems with my L4 and L5 since I was in high school. Once, they both went at the same time. That was fun. Under the circumstances, I'd encourage you to just rest and let your back heal. These problems tend to create a lot of referred pain and muscles aches from attempts to prevent odd moves or compensate for where the underlying problem is. I find that heat (heating pad, hot water bottle, warm baths) is the best treatment for this. Also, lying on a hard flat surface like the floor. Put your knees up and maybe a pillow under your head. But you're not going to make it better by exerting yourself. Goal: Build some muscle, increase my flexibility and do PT for my ankle Feb. - 24/28 days Mar. 1 - Modified Beg.

CityGirl I am running into the same issues with certain weaknesses or lack of flexibility required for some exercises. I had 4 surgeries on my foot, I tried to do lunges but I'm scared about bending my toes back. I never even noticed the foot was involved before.
It sounds like you have gotten a lot stronger, planks are hard! 3/1 packing boxes and cleaning for hours 3/4 treadmill fat burn, walked 1.5 miles 3/5 treadmill 35min 3/6 treadmill 1.7 miles, I'm tired. 30 min stretches, 15 min decluttering 3/7 cardio 30 min |
