Beth, did you like Day 1 & 2 of Lauren Brooks Swings challenge?
That's great about NY reaching 70% vaccinated and all restrictions lifted!

Paine, yes, I liked doing the challenge. I think my main opposition to doing swings is doing them all in a row - KCM does them for like 45 secs, and other workouts are even longer! But Lauren mostly breaks them up; Day 1 is just 10 sets of 10 with rests in-between. It felt much more manageable that way!

It seems silly to post that I did shoulder stretches for 2 days. I don't think I'm getting anywhere even with less pain from the pills. I'll keep trying because it's what I do.

My will be here before daylight. He's staying til Saturday.

Good morning! Wow it's another beauty day here, I hope to sneak out for a lunch walk.

Yesterday the weather was too perfect to let gardening wait so I devoted my workout time to that. I'm proud of myself for successfully wrestling that hydrangea into the ground. Fingers crossed that it will live long and prosper. I also worked lobster compost into the soil and got some more planting done.

Have a great day!

Pat, sounds like you didn't let your co-worker ruin your day.

Linda, you are extremely diligent when it comes to rehab! Hopefully you'll see success from your efforts soon.

My body is feeling pretty worn out today--in addition to doing Days 1 & 2 of the kettlebell challenge yesterday, I did some tough lower body work and went on my first bike ride of the season, about 7 miles. I'm going to try to catch up with the next 2 days of the challenge today but take it light otherwise.

Popping in to say hello! Weather is good & the campground is a lovely spot with plenty of activities nearby to keep us busy. Yesterday we went on a 5 km nature hike and put in about 15 km on our bikes. It’s another sunny day today so look forward to more outdoor pursuits.

Waves to all!

Beth, wow that was a good bike ride for the first of the season!

Pat, good job on the gardening work. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your hydrangea.

Good morning! TGIF!!!!

Yesterday featured:

~ Trifecta Pilates 15 Minute Pilates Workout
~ Walk around neighborhood
~ 8,700 steps.

Pretty sure that was my first Trifecta Pilates and I liked Beth's style.

Beth, I looked at your Rise Up, Stand Up practice and can't wait to try it. If I had gotten up 10 minutes earlier I would have done it this morning.

Paine, thanks for the well wishes to my hydrangea. I sure hope it takes and survives, it wasn't cheap! I wonder if yours didn't do well because of the dry climate? While researching them, I learned it's name is Greek for "water vessel."

Have a happy Friday all!

Pat, I'm hoping that our hydrangea will pick up as Cyana has mentioned it might do after a year or so. It was such a pretty blue when we bought it. We are about 2 miles from the beach so it's not too dry here.

I'm waving to everyone!

Pilates reformer on my own. The man likes to watch tv while doing his workout so I didn't use a video. 20 minutes with Cubii Jr the underdesk elliptical.
