We're doing it EVERY DAY in MAY - restart? momentum? any reason is cool with us!

Helen · 04-29-22, 07:22 PM

Welcome to the Every Day Checkin!

We are a small group who aim to do some form of physical activity every day, whatever that means for YOU (but don't kid yourself about it either)

Daily posts - not mandatory, nor even "sternly preferred" - but we love it if you do.
Weekly posts, drive-by notes, daily essays all about you.... any of those are perfectly fine - no pressure, EXCEPT to diligently try to add serious movement to your day - every day.

Lexicon:
WERD = Well Earned Rest Day, but even rest days can include movement

TERD = Totally Expected Rest Day, though not especially well-earned, like a planned happy event

TURD = Totally Unexpected Rest Day, hopefully also a happy event

HERD = of TURDS - usually declared after the THIRD TURD in a row.

Try to avoid these at all costs, as they can move in & get comfortable, getting OUT of your comfort zone is the way to make change happen

The weather has finally caught up with the season - do YOU need to catch up ?...... with your goals? Join us for DAILY motivation!

NEWCOMERS ALWAYS WELCOME!

Had a good start.

Sunday 1st
30min, dog walk, for HER walk to the park, stand around & toss the ball, her HIIT workout
70min, dog walk, for ME non-stop steady state walking
41min, Cathe - LITE - Metabolic Blast - Scrambled Mix 1 (Floor 1st) for buddy

Also did some sewing, gardening, & some school work but weekly hours there kept under 40/wk for the year. THAT is a goal!

Feeling good momentum - and loving the winter coming (remember, we don't get snow or icy roads - just cosiness

)

Helen: Thanks for getting us started.

I need some goals!!!

Waves to Lili & all reading.

While I'm here:

5/1/2022 Walk 2 miles (that's it!)

Although I had a weekend of functional fitness on Fri., Sat. & part of Sun. Lots of cleaning out and moving things from a basement to a dumpster. We're talking water heaters, air conditioners, carpeting, shevling, etc, etc. Yep. I am strong!

Make it a great day/week/month.

Monday 2nd
40min, brisk dog walk
71min, Cathe - Hardcore - Low Max and yes, it was HARD - essentially did a quick-march instead of the last blast.

CLEDA
Being able to do that functional stuff, with relative ease, is a BIG reason for continuing to work on fitness. That walk was probably a good way to straighten your back & stretch your legs after the lifting/moving work.

Tuesday
26min, dog walk
21min, Cathe - Hardcore - Core Max - Workout 1 (no equipment)
45min, Cathe - Step Heat - Finished Product x3 Mix

In the Core Max, there were levitation holds. My arms are NOT long enough (or else my bum extends too far beyond my spine!) to reach the floor flat handed. Used the pushup handles - STILL can NOT lift bum & cross legs off the floor. Bum, sure, but the crossed legs? No WAY - I did try - and failed completely.

Step Heat - using chapter menu: warmup, [Combo 1 Finished Product, Combo 2 Finished Product]x3, Cooldown, Stretch. Just did it on 6", as wanted to move a lot, but not work too hard - though DID add all the jumping bits - after Low Max, wanted just a little easier.

Helen - thank you for starting us off again! What would we do without you? I hope we never have to find out. I vaguely remember trying that cross-legged lifting off the floor move, which I completely failed. I know I decided that my arms must be too short, so you are not alone!
Cleda - you ARE strong! Good job! Functional fitness is a big reason we do this, isn't it?

5/1 - TURD
5/2 - 3.15 miles, 12:28 pace. Same run as last week, only my GPS worked this week. My pace is pretty pathetic, but I'm out there, so I'm happy. I also tacked on some push-ups after my run both weeks. I need to get back to daily push-ups.
