Got my 50 in today but did not do any 'banking'. I did manage that yesterday but have noticed a trend of being increasingly tired with less stamina too over the last few days... so very glad to get these in despite all that!

Finished w my squats this morning.
I did them after an hour on the elliptical.
I am hoping by starting my day w exercise, my energy levels will be up throughout the day.

I've done the couch to 5k a couple times and starting out with running always boosts me up.
I haven't done my set yet today, but I will in the next hour or so.
So 7/40.

I’ve always wanted to do that 5k.I've done the couch to 5k a couple times and starting out with running always boosts me up.

So 7/40.
I've gotten up to being able to jog for a full 25-30 minutes.. Which is... Quite a bit deal for me. I've done it in Arizona and also in the mile high city of Denver.
But to be frank, i absolutely hate running. I do it to help strengthen my heart specifically, but after I reach that point, i just stop.
I'd much rather prefer to do some sort of structured dance, (like ballet or something similar in formal training) but the classes are so expensive.

I love that stretch! It's been my favourite for years.
All that other stuff... you have had a busy day, Laron!

They are like... walking, quite simple really, it's really about not being lazy and actually doing them!

I rather do dance class too & yoga. A goal of mine is to do some sort of martial art. Krav Maga is good.
Jogging that long would be a big deal for me top. I rather take a nature walk.

Just about took me longer to type that out than doing it all! I don't know all the fancy names so I'm learning a bit by doing the research on the exercises i do.

So cool that you've worked up to something that is a big deal for you! That's dedication and it shows what you can do... especially when you do it in the heat and/or mile high!
Doesn't mean you have to like it, but now you know you can if you want to, lol
I managed to keep doing martial arts (with a very forgiving, kind group of people) throughout my extensive, debilitating (and in the past
) illness. I was sooo grateful to have that option of something I could keep going to locally and be able to do; each practice focusing on what I was able to do, leaving out what wasn't available to me on any given day.Since then, thankfully, I've regained much of what was impossible for years
Walking was always available to me to. Walking (and talking) with friends became a wonderful habit that earned me a few BFFs whom I still keep in regular touch with though we are continents away from each other
Really, that is what it is all about... just doing what you can and then pushing those boundaries bit by bit as your lovely body allows

9/40.
These were a little more tough because I had just gotten back from working at the farm. And made painfully aware of how weak my arms are. (i already knew this, but it was highlighted.)

Day 14/40 complete! 50 squats.
Today I had a bit of an eclipse moment (I'm not going to Arizona now — sorting out another option), but I'm not going to let it get me down.
Well, the squats got me down.

Done my 50.
Did something the other day called "GIJanes". Just 4 of them. So sore in the upper arms today that I can't reach back!
These are sort of like a combination of pushups and downward dog/upward dog in that you go into down dog and then, as you go for your pushup, you sort of scrape your front + nose along the ground (or close by) and come up into up dog. It's quite sinuous as you are moving a bit like a snake or worm moves. And quite a workout!
Just like 'burpies' these GIJanes give pretty much the whole body a workout.

Wow Lila ! Those sound intense!! I don’t want to do those! Haha
I do push-ups against the wall and then movd my arms up to stretch and work out other muscles; my chiropractor showed me these. They help w neck and shoulder tension.
Anyway, I missed yesterday b/c I was so fatigued and sleepy. Today I did 100 squats. I did 50 at the park w other moms. They looked at me bc I wasn’t sitting and having lunch w them. Then another mom decided to join me and then we walked for a bit, talking about my new Couch to 5k goal, inspired by Angela . Thank you!
Laron , ahhh, sorry AZ didn’t work out. I am really rooting for you like a cheerleader, hoping another opportunity pops up. Also, good job sticking with the squat challenge!
