nyc's gymxplotations always intrigues me, like watching the Discovery Channel.
And now, on the Serengeti.... My gym experiences aren't that interesting usually. I had an appointment with my trainer so I warmed up on the elliptical. Stats: 78 cal, .70 mi, 11:00 min 30 minutes of circuit training, accommodating my wimpy wrist. I injured my left wrist in a slip and fall 2-3 winters ago and it gets aggravated now and again. Usually in winter, due to repetitive movements. I think the way I get up off of the living room floor is playing into this right now. Then, we went into his office and booked appointments through September. The owner of the gym and the other trainer came into the office and we all talked about different things and somehow the owner got me to agree to run with her in a race in September or October. Not sure how that happened. Then I popped back on the elliptical for my official cool down. Stats: 90 cal, .80 mi, 13:00 min |

I haven’t been going to the gym, but I have been gardening.
Because I had cataract surgery last year, I didn’t prune and trim as much as I usually do, and my perennials are running rampant. It’s been very hot here, so I garden for a while, and then I run inside for a break. In other years I’ve been spoiled, and when I got desperate, Pete jumped in to collect what I’ve weeded and snipped, but she’s working full time and studying for a major test. I am lucky to have the time to garden and I am grateful that I have safe clean water to drink. |

I did 40 minutes on the stair master. I did 5-4-3-2-1 x 2min x 4 sets! It was easy today. Sometimes there are just days like that, where one can add on an extra set and not have any problems. Good feeling!
No Judith. No Taylor. There is a mother-daughter pair that was there who I see all the time. They look beautiful and rich but they are not snobby. They are so kind and friendly to me. It is always a pleasure to see them. I *want* to hate them but, alas, it's impossible It sucked not to stretch but my mom is visiting from Ohio and had just arrived, so I simply did not have time! Tomorrow perhaps I will take her to my gym. That should be interesting.

I did 30 minutes on the stair master, Levels 5-4-3-2-1 x 2 min x 3 sets (plus 3-2-1 cool down for six minutes). I think I'm almost done with "the Staircase" ( a true crime series) on Netflix which is sad because I've been so very into it!
Then I did 30 minutes of weight lifting, core exercises, and stretching. My mom came with me to the gym. We ended up in the locker room with the mother and daughter that I was there with last night (the beautiful, rich, but super kind set). We watched the gorgeous mother blow-dry and style the gorgeous daughter's hair (in her mid-twenties). Since I gym-know them I said, "I brought my mommy from Ohio" and introduced her. They were very kind, and Max (the daughter) said, "That's so nice. I'm with my mother 24-8." The rest of the day my mom and I couldn't stop using the phrase 24-8. It became a little joke with us. After hanging out in the locker room, I asked my mom what she would be doing in the gym. She said, "Walking around New York City is enough of a work-out. I'm going to go to the gym cafe to have a turkey sandwich and do the New York Times Crossword puzzle." And she did! When I got home, my mom had headed to a movie, and I took a bath at home. I love the feeling of a bath after working out.

Charley, at first I didn't get what 24-8 means either, but then realized it means even more than 24-7!
Like, I often use (to emphasize my commitment or belief in something): 110%. I think it's the same type of thing! Still funny!

Today I did 30 minutes on the stairmaster (Levels 5,4,3,2,1 x 2 min x 3 sets, plus a 3,2,1 cool down for 6 minutes). I'm still watching "The Staircase" on Netflix, thank goodness.
Then I did 30 minutes of weights and floor exercises. Two gym song highlights: they played "I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson" yesterday and "When Doves Cry" today. It was very hard to get started today because I'd recently gone out for a big dim sum meal with my family, so I was yawning and carb crashed. The stairmaster was extra hard to do but once done, I felt good and the floor workout was back to normal. Tomorrow, since my mom is still in town from Ohio, there is a tentative plan to go to the gym with her and Dave and Jan (my brother and his husband). I'm so annoyed with the idea of using up 3 guest passes at once! I get one a year, and I hoard them! I have 9 right now.

3mi at the track...then weights alone - upper body Session at gym today...threw me into memories that while beautiful, loving, nonetheless made me sad...it's been a strange week to say the least. Today was my long run day, but decided to head to the gym instead, run 3mi - I don't enjoy indoor tracks prefer open spaces - then lifted weights and focused so, that no one interrupted my sets - best for everyone. Tomorrow? Feel like more weights - lower body. keep on keepin' on my friends, Greco

I had a nice evening gym workout. I'm still loving my stairmaster workout of levels 5-4-3-2-1 x 2 min. x 3 sets (30 minutes total), then the 3-2-1 cool down (six minutes). And still watching the Staircase on Netflix.
Then I did 30 minutes of floor exercises, weight lifting, and stretching. Fun fact: When I do my floor exercises, they ALWAYS include 50 five second pelvic tilts with my knees bent. They strengthen core, butt, and back, and they are easy and relaxing and meditative. I am loving having the summer off and being able to get my exercise in

Yesterday I got in some walking (steps) and I had to rearrange some things at home, on my own, which took an lot of energy. I must have sweated off at least a few inches of body fat. It's an small wonder that my body did not lock up, after all that physical activity.
I probably walked for about two hours (cumulatively ). And the other things I had to do on my own probably lasted about three hours of time. Today I plan to walk to the mail boxes, maybe go to the farmers market for fresh veggies, and go up and down the stairs a few times, too. I am grateful for the ability to do small things to keep mobile and keep my body active. |

Looked at my bruise foot. Looked at that scale. Remembered I had ate the bun with my hamburger this weekend.
Put on those walking shoes! Was out early with the dog walking peeps, birds and cut grass. I ended up doing 1.7 miles in under 30 min. You gotta remember, I'm tall, I take big steps..lol The rest of the day at work, will be boxing up bodies! (Actually body forms, lol) up and down the ladder. Say good bye to hamburger bun! It's all in moderation, these days.

I did the same routine I did yesterday (30 min stairmaster, 30 min on the weight floor). I felt so peaceful afterwards. Only one more episode of the Staircase (and this last episode doesn't seem like it will be of much interest). Highly recommend the Staircase on netflix if you like a good true crime series!
May our exercise bring us peace.

Yesterday I lugged bags of mulch around the garden. It was extremely hot, so I couldn’t spend much time outside, but my body feels great after an hour or two in the garden. The results are so immediate; my garden looks pretty and my body is working hard.

I did the same routine I've been into lately (30 min on the stairmaster & 30 minutes on the weight floor). I must say it's a great routine. The 5,4,3,2,1 x 2 min x 3 sets is the perfect level of challenge. I finished watching the Staircase (true crime documentary on a very interesting case on Netflix). I was wrong that the last (12th) episode was not going to be awesome. It was!
I ran into Judith. She yelled out my name in the locker room so I spun around. She was wearing a towel. I feel that she might have had an agenda. I think she's always trying to get me to accompany her to these gym parties that they have, which I would never do! I would never go to a gym party ever! I just switched the subject, and we exchanged a few pleasantries. I also ran into one of my regulars whose name I forget. He often forgets mine too. It's something like Joel. He calls me Jessica, and I don't correct him. We've known each other at the gym for years. He is a real goof. Today he told me that at his job as an x-ray technician he got in trouble for having a Playboy magazine in his desk. He said that it was from after 2016 and that since then there are no nudies in the magazine, just good articles. I was like okkkkayyyyy. Tomorrow I'll have to see whether I can fit in the gym because I have a dentist appointment and a movie plan and a dinner plan. We shall see.
