Pilates Cross Trainers 2024

Hello everyone,

PBOD - Pilates Strength One. Ouch! Every time I thought we're done, Tracey would say "let's do another 8 reps for the good luck"

Buffmama, was it 10 min bedtime stretch you did with Justina? I think I would use her workouts more often if they were easier to stream. Not a fan of somble so far..

Donna, good luck with choosing a contractor!

Waves, Carol, Christine and Beth!

Still not feeling very good, but I have managed to get some movement in the last couple of days:

Tuesday - Outdoor Walk - 30 minutes
Wednesday - Silver & Fit - Outdoor Circuit Workout with Stacey Lei 3/26/24 - 30 minutes

This workout with Stacey was filmed somewhere in southern India. A cow wandered by during the workout, and somehow Stacey managed to get Miss Foxy Brown into India with her. Not sure how that happened.

I hope you talk back to Tracy. I can't imagine I would be able to contain myself. Yes, that's the one. I checked it's not on YouTube. If you're having so much trouble with Somble, how was the platform she used before? She got out of there pretty quickly.

I did do some Pilates today, a small ball routine from Pilates & Yoga with Katja:

Does anyone else have creaky knees? Mine don't hurt but are getting creakier! I mentioned it to my PCP yesterday at my annual physical, but she just said it's a normal age thing. I did a little of a Jessica Valant routine for knees (but stopped because it wasn't really follow-along). I am thinking about trying this:

Hello everyone,

PBOD - Strength Training Two. It was a bit meh. Tracey was overly happy and squealing 'woohoo!', while I didn't share her enthusiasm Some compound moves felt rather awkward - e.g. plank jumps with your hands on dumbbells combined with overhead press. I think I will sub her strength days with Justina's, as they make more sense to me.

Justina - 10 min bedtime stretch. It was a very nice and flowy stretch / mobility routine. Thanks Buffmama for mentioning it!

Beth, I have days when almost everything is creaky. It's better if I add some daily Essentrics / Mobility. From what I've read, as long as it doesn't hurt there is nothing to worry about.

Buffmama, Justina's previous platform was more basic - there was no search or option to favourite a video. It seems casting works better for me, if I do it from my laptop vs app, so maybe I'll try it this way. And I do talk to Tracey, lol!

Carol, glad you're getting a bit better.

Waves, Donna and Christine!

Polina, oh yes, I have tons of creakiness in my neck/shoulders! I actually really didn't think much about the knees, but DH was worried that my exercise is having a negative impact. He referred to my "step" work, which I found kind of funny - I do have a "Fanny Lifter" (not a full sized step), I do step work maybe once every few months.

Hi Everyone,

It is so dreary here!

Yesterday I forced myself to do some Lucy Wyndham Read after work - I had been a slug sitting all day - and I knew I needed to move some. I did a 20 Min Walk with her and then a 5 min cardio type workout. Her stuff is easy to fit in since it is not fancy.

I really do need to make getting some walking in a priority - I sit all day. I was thinking of trying to do 1 mile in the morning, 1 in the afternoon and 1 after work. On "cardio" days I can ease up on that if necessary. I can get out to walk if the weather is nice, I can dust off our unused treadmill or I can do a video walk. The 1 mile in the morning can be my pre-workout warm up

Today I did:

Jessica Smith - Yoga Fusion Sculpt - this is on her All Access Pass but also on DVD. I enjoyed it as I love fusion workouts!

Beth - my knees have been creaky for years - they are one part of my body that doesn't bother me though! My hips are creaky too and sometimes they bother me as do my neck and shoulders sometimes. I have heard if there is no pain it is nothing to worry about.

Carol - nice workouts - yes, I wonder how Stacey traveled with her dog out of the country. In Jessica's workout today there were some dogs in the background playing in the water. I do need to get into some of the Silver & Fit workouts - they are good and so much variety.

Waves, everyone! I took off Friday and Monday for Easter so I'm looking forward to a long weekend.

Take care,

Donna

PA Classic 34: swan dive to side kicks; his modifications aren't always the same as expected so it's nice to hear

Good morning,

Walk (30 min)
Margaret Elizabeth - Pilates/Cardio Fusion (10 min)

I skipped the standing work at the end, which was the "cardio". Otherwise, I liked the mat work.

Donna, it's dreary here too, and we're getting more rain. I love how easy it is to fit in a Lucy workout! She's really zero dread for me. I'm thinking of buying that Jessica Smith DVD with the fusion workouts on it.

Beth, I don't know if creaky is the right word for me, but my knees definitely make some crackling sounds when I straighten my legs if they've been bent too long. I do think it's harmless if there's no pain.

Polina, I appreciate your reviews of each Tracy workout! The more I read, the less interested I am in that program. Thanks for helping me get rid of one temptation, lol.

Carol, I'm sorry you're still not feeling well. I'm still feeling a bit run down, but overall better.

Waves, Buffmama!

VF is aging - I think we are full of people with creaky/squeaky/crackling body parts!
