5k row this morning before work.

I'm going back to a gym though. The last few years I've mostly been exercising at home/outside between outdoor bike riding and my rowing machine/spin bike at home. But I'm getting bored with it and finding myself setting in at home without working out after work. The winter has me slowing down. So I'm going back to the YMCA- it's just a mile from my work- so I can swing by there before going home and do a spin class or hop on equipment. I can also use another YMCA a few miles away on the weekend that has lap swimming as well as spin and some other classes I might like. Yay!

nycfem · 12-27-2017, 06:40 PM

I stayed away from the matrix. Until they take away the two old stairmasters, I'll use them. I did 30 minutes on the stairmaster and watched a really awesome documentary on Netflix called "Voyeur." Then I did 20 minutes floor exercises, weight lifting, and stretching.

I'm loving my winter break!

RockOn · 12-28-2017, 09:48 PM

During my lunch hour, I literally ran through Home Depot today, tossing things into my buggy. I did not call my supervisor from Home Depot and tell him I was taking a two hour lunch either. I was proud of me. LOL! Made it back to work just under the wire with only forgetting two things.

nycfem · 12-28-2017, 10:35 PM

I did not even attempt the matrix. I went to the stairmaster and did the same routine as yesterday 40 minutes. I watched yet another good netflix documentary, this one about Robert Kardashian's role in OJ being found not guilty. Then 20 minutes of weightlifting and yoga. It was very relaxing.

Sunshine · 12-28-2017, 11:00 PM

Finally the fires in California are out and the air is cleaner. I started my regular routine this week.

100 situps
20 push ups
20 Mountain Climber
Arm weights

I am so much more relaxed when I workout and it works for me.

Nycfem, if you like, I would be more than happy to go through the manual of the Matrix, and share with you the steps that you want to do on it. Just get me the make and model of the unit. I will find the manual online and go from there

.

The offer will always be there for you.

nycfem · 12-29-2017, 10:11 PM

This winter break has been the best. Today I got to go to the gym and do another evening work-out... and not have to worry about getting up early the next morning! I did the same as the past two days: 40 minutes on the stair master, followed by 20 minutes of weight lifting, floor exercises, and stretching. Today on Amazon Prime I watched something with a title like "The 911 faker" about a woman who pretended for years that she'd been in the WTC on September 11th and lost her fiance. It was interesting. I've been lucky with the docs lately...

nycfem · 12-31-2017, 09:15 PM

Today (New Year's Eve):

Since there are now 2 instead of 7 stairmasters, the 2 were in use, so I went to the Matrix ClimbMill (terrible name!- I used to be a master, now I'm a hamster!). I did 30 minutes while watching a Netflix doc on Herbalife. Then I did 30 minutes of weight lifting, floor exercises, and stretching.

Judith was there. The gym closes at 7 due to New Year's Eve. I asked if she was doing anything for New Year's Eve. I shouldn't have asked! Of course she is not.

nycfem · 01-01-2018, 07:17 PM

There was a stairmaster free so I didn't have to use the matrix climbMill, woohoo! I did 30 minutes on the stair master and then 30 minutes of weight lifting, floor exercises, and stretching. I abandoned a documentary on Herbalife and started watching "Strange Addictions" on Hulu. OMG, love it!

This is the last day of my break! It's back to work tomorrow. I had a wonderful staycation!

Greco · 01-02-2018, 07:26 PM

Had been with the flu? since Christmas Eve, and well, no running, no
walking, nothing...except today headed to the office finally, but home
to strange concoctions to make sure it's all gone. Thank G-d for close
friends who make home remedies...and they work.

Tomorrow, really? A run, though don't know yet how far, just outside!

Greco with cabin fever...smiling

nycfem · 01-02-2018, 10:14 PM

Today I did 40 minutes on the stairmaster (Yes, got lucky again by finding it open!), and 20 minutes with weights and stretching.

I am continuing to watch "Strange Addictions" on Hulu. Such shows are pretty much made for me. I finished the episode about Maskers/ men who dress up as rubber dolls and moved on to the one about the woman who fell in love and had a commitment ceremony with a rollercoaster! Yep, you heard it right!

Greco · 01-03-2018, 01:30 PM

How delicious it is to run outside again...3mi this am...slow
and steady...with face mask because the air was cold and
my glasses would fog up...smiling...it's free this beauty here
free Mother Nature and expansive sky...alright rambling now.
It feels great to feel good.

tomorrow...a visit with my gym buds.

Greco

easygoingfemme · 01-03-2018, 06:36 PM

Back to my old gym today! Took a really good spin class after work. Felt excellent

Gayandgray · 01-03-2018, 10:56 PM

Yesterday I took a short walk. Today I did some Pilates. Tomorrow I’ll be shoveling lots of snow.

Gayandgray · 01-04-2018, 05:08 PM

I shoveled snow for just over 3 hrs plus helped one of our newer neighbors push their car out of a snow pile.

Greco · 01-04-2018, 05:15 PM

Sounds like your in pretty good shape, strong...Good for you, totally impressed!

And thanks for sharing, Greco

This day felt so strange...must have been the overcast sky...anyway, gym
day, and the buds were all accounted for...as for me it was weights day and
it's fun if not a bit painful...finished with my 4mi run.

candy_coated_bitch · 01-04-2018, 05:31 PM

I did some deep cleaning in the kitchen for about an hour. That was about it in this weather.

nycfem · 01-04-2018, 08:25 PM

I had a snow day today and made it to the gym. When I started the stair master I felt a tiny little something in my left knee from the movement, so I left the stair master and did the treadmill for 45 minutes at 2.8 mph while watching Strange Addictions on Hulu (heart rate 132). Then I did 15 minutes of yoga.

The treadmill was really nice. It wasn't an intense work-out because I wanted to stay very balanced and reduce impact since it is a high impact machine. Still, it felt great!

Gemme · 01-05-2018, 06:37 AM

Between yesterday, last night and this morning, I've gotten in a few hours of shoveling and snow monitoring.

easygoingfemme · 01-05-2018, 06:52 AM

Yesterday was mostly shoveling and I did an emergency move for a new client in the middle of the snow storm. Thankfully there wasn't a lot to move in but it was still a workout because I had to park a way away from the house that was being moved into because the main road was too snowy and folks were sliding all over the road and I was pretty sure my car would get totaled if I parked close to the house.

Today I have another move and it's -15 right now. But this move is mostly going to be me inside dictating to movers where to place items from their truck. The house will be wide open and cold but at least I won't be slipping on ice and carrying things.

Then, if all goes as planned, spin class at 5:15. Whoop! That will warm me up.
