Talk about your exercise experience today

Had another good ride this morning while watching a biking video in the Italian Alps and listening to Robin Diangelo. This week I

– Rode 30 miles in 2hrs 24m
– 360 arm rolls

This week wasn't as good as last week but it beats nothin'.

[Orema]

Didn't have a good ride this morning. It was a struggle just getting through 5 miles. Most rides this week weren't easy. Oh well, there's always next week. This week I;

– rode 30 miles in 1hr. 47 mins
– did 450 arm rolls

I did a few crunches but nothing I noted.

[Orema]

Had a good ride this morning while listening to a Cicely Tyson memoir. This was an okay week for riding.

Am having longer rides with added tension to try and build muscles around knees, but I might be pushing it with the tension. Will reduce the tension next week and focus on spinning.

– Rode 23 miles in 2hrs
– 300 arm rolls



My knees are so much better than they were 2 years ago and mostly because of the exercise bike.

Yesterday... My sister, her 79 yr old dad and I took a 2 mile round trip hike up the mountain behind her property to an old abandoned campground. The air was warm enough I didn't need a coat, but I sure needed my walking stick. I got tickled at my step dad who hikes like a young mountain goat and left us behind a few times.

Today's exercise has been walking to the kitchen 2 times for my coffee.

[Orema]

Had a good ride this morning while still listening to Cicely Tyson and some really good rides this week. Last week's numbers are.

– Rode 28.2 miles in 1hr 51m
– 210 arm rolls

[Orema]

Had a nice ride this morning while watching Tiffany Cross and some good rides last week. Last week's numbers are.

– Rode 44.7 miles in 3.5 hrs
– 370 arm rolls

[Orema]

Had a great workout this morning. Was able to complete 100 arm rolls in one sitting and it's been six months since I've been able to do this. Had a pretty good workout week, too:

– rode 37.5 miles in 2hrs 31mins
– completed 390 arm rolls

[easygoingfemme]

5 k rowing. Planning for 7 tomorrow. I wish it was warm enough to go hike. I'm planning a 7-9 day jaunt on the Appalachian Trail in May and need to bank my training hikes with added pack weight- but not this week. Nope.

[Orema]

Had an okay workout this morning while listening to an audio book and watching the snow come down. Had some okay rides this week, too:

– rode 36.9 miles in 3hrs 1mins
– completed 300 arm rolls

[Gemme]

Today, I've danced around the house to music and shoveled a crap ton of snow. Welcome to my blizzard. Some of the drifts are nearly 6 feet tall!

[Orema]

Had another good ride while listening to music. Had some good rides this week, too.

– Rode 40 miles in 2.85 hrs
– Did 450 arm rolls

[Orema]

Had an okay ride while watching the snow come down and listening to podcasts. Just couldn't get into the ride the way I wanted. Last week's numbers were:

– Rode 38.7 miles in 3.15 hrs
– Did 350 arm rolls

[Orema]

Had a really good ride this morning—rode 7 miles in 30 minutes—and a lot better than any rides I had this week. Yesterday's ride was so bad I gave up after 2 miles. Just wasn't into it. Last weeks numbers are:

– Rode 34 miles for 2hrs 6min
– Did 260 arm rolls

[Orema]

Had another good ride this morning—rode 7 miles in 30 minutes—and again it was a better than some rides I had this week. I wrongly took some medicine back-to-back and at the wrong time of day and it threw me off for couple days.

– Rode 35.3 miles for 2.78 hrs
– Did 340 arm rolls

It helps a lot for me to have visual and audio enhancements while riding my bike. Otherwise, I don't think I'd be able to exercise.

Oh, boy. Feel better soon!

Studies have been done that prove music helps you to extend your workout not only in time but in intensity and general effort as well. Rock on!

I've been very naughty in that I have not gone to the gym much recently. I'm still in the general ballpark for my "normal" weight fluctuations, though I am resting at the top of the range. I feel the difference plus I've been drinking more of my calories lately. Bolthouse Farms makes fruit juices with no added sugar and they are so freaking delicious, I can't stand it. Green Goodness is my favorite.

Anyway, here it is:

Thanks, Gemme, and good for staying within your range. I've been in the range for a year now. Haven't lost any but haven't gained. There is that.

Had had some really good workouts this week.

– Rode 49.1 miles for 3hrs 16min
– Did 560 arm rolls

I gave up wine for lent and it's paying off.

[Orema]

Didn't do well today nor this week. I was on the bike for 5 minutes today and just gave up. Started the week off well, but by Wednesday I had the start of a cold and it's been down hill since then. Here are this week's numbers:

– Rode 21.2 miles in 2.26 hours
– Completed 350 arm rolls

Will get it together once I'm rid of this cold.

[Orema]

Had a nice ride this morning while watching the snow come down and listening to a jazz playlist. Also had a walking tour of Greece on the monitor but didn’t pay much attention to that. Am feeling better but not up to speed yet. I’ll do better next week. Maybe.

– Rode 37.1 miles in 3.13 hours
– 330 arm rolls

Hoping folks get some steps in, rides on, or a dance or two going.
