I did 30 minutes on the stairmaster today, levels 1-4. I watched a really good Netflix series while exercising called "Eccentrics." It profiles eccentrics and was quite enjoyable to watch, also thought provoking.

Exercise
 

Today I walked for 30 minutes. Went to PT and did 90 leg lifts with a 3lb weight on my ankle. 45 squats, 10 minutes of leg presses, and 2.5 miles on the stationery bike.

I can report that my quad is stronger. Today I ran up 30 steps with ease while my friend struggled. Soon I will be riding my bicycle. Yay!

SHOW OFF............:giggle:

Haha! I want to ride my bicycle buddy. I am willing to work for that joy in my life. :)

Prior to my work related accident last November, I was bicycling back and forth to work (8.3 miles in less than an hour, twice a day), bicycling pretty much everywhere on my days off. I'm guessing my weekly average of miles was near 90 miles, or better. I was in pretty good shape.

Today, I was able to go down three flights of stairs, by myself, and walked slowly to the mail box to get my mail. I also did a small load of laundry and light housekeeping. I'm pretty tired, but felt I crossed a threshold today.

When my heart study concludes the end of March, and if they rule out all the questions they had earlier in January, then I will get to go to pool therapy.

Not sure how long it will take to get back to pre-November condition.... but I do what I can. My doctors and nursing team is proud of me for not giving up.

Exercise
 

Today I did 90 leg lifts with a 3.5 lb weight on my ankle, 55 squats, 2.5 miles on the stationery bicycle, and 50 leg presses but I am not sure about the weight so I will ask on Friday.

Yesterday was 4 miles rowing and a lot of running up and down stairs at work.

Hoping for more of the same today, though I am in a training for half the day and that will require lots of boring sitting...

Exercise
 

I did 90 leg lifts with a 4lb weight strapped to my ankle, 45 one leg squats, 2.5 miles on the stationery bicycle, 65 leg presses with 120 lbs. Progress.....yay!

Oh sure, trying to impress the ladies around you again no doubt :giggle:

Haha! Always :)

If I really want to impress them I speak.

30 minutes stairmaster, Level 1-4. Watched the t.v. series Eccentrics on Netflix. It is a great series!!! Doc style T.v. show celebrating eccentrics from around the world!

I did the same thing today. Only difference was the show was getting a tiny bit boring... It kind of switched a bit from eccentrics to do-gooders.

I did 45 minutes on the stairmaster today, levels 1-4, 100 floors. I watched the documentary "Revenge Porn" on Netflix. It was not good.

Oh... and then I did 15 minutes of weight lifting and stretching.

Catch up!
 

I took a half hour walk in the cold, dreary drizzle. It was NOT ideal! Also, I did not know whether it was going to turn into a downpour, so I circled the blocks where our apartment is, so that was boring! The good part was I voicetexted with a friend I'd been meaning to catch up with, so that was great.

I exercised my patience a fair amount of times.
I rowed 4.5 miles.

Nice job!

My body was telling me today that it needed a break so I gave it one. I will work out tomorrow evening. :)

Breaks are much needed, I just came off a longer the planned break but pulled it off.

Yesterday I did the stairmaster levels 1-4 for an hour. I watched a good Netflix called "Growing Up Coy"- a documentary about a 6-year-old trans boy and his landmark case about using the school bathroom.

Today I walked for an hour and a half in the park. It was 60 and sunny. Lovely day.

Last two days had good rows but worked out too late last night and it kept my brain too awake. Going to try to work out here soon so I get it done earlier.

Also today was walking my 100 lb dog in full on spring fever. It got comical. I have very limited control over him when he wants something- due to size and muscle.

I had to go from basement to third floor about a bazillion times today at work and took the stairs every time- except for the one when I was handling a loaded hand truck. I play a game where I race the people in the elevator.

Today I walked outside for 30 min. for my lunch period. I had to pee within five minutes of having left the school so that was uncomfortable, lol.

After work I did the stairmaster 30 min, levels 1-5. I started watching a new doc on Amazon Prime video by a daughter whose dad went conservative. It analyzes how the media brainwashes people, something like that. It's not as good as I want it to be.

Oh, and someone left a wad of gum in the drink holder on the stairmaster. Eek!

What's the name of that doc you watched?

"The Brainwashing of my Dad"

Thanks- I'll check that out!

Yesterday my exercise was stair running and I flipped 22 bed mattresses. Today will be more stair running and another 22 mattresses. I feel like I should get a crossfit badge or something for this one.

Along with my stair running and mattress flipping I also carried a microwave down four flights of stairs...:seeingstars: Grateful it was down and not up.

What's the score been, inquiring minds want to know! (and have you broken anything in the process of this game)

I get there first probably 9 out of 10 times, and tie on the others. I have yet to be beat. I have not broken anything, thank you very much. Please keep in mind I'm in an old building with a not very fast elevator.

I just hit 10k steps and hope to get 5k more before the night is over!

I keep wanting to remember to measure my steps on an average day...

I was up and down the stairs at work a little but not as much as last week.

I had a midday cancelled appointment and seized the moment to go take a walk and I think I did about 1.5 miles. In the sun. Along a river and through the really pretty village I work in.

Then after work I rowed 4 miles.

Happy camper.

I went on a one hour evening walk in nice weather in the park. I found myself taking pictures of squirrels along the way.

1.5 hr walk in the park, spring has sprung!
