Exercise and Goal Setting

[Former-Member]

Hi @Polly48...

Hope you heal quickly! Great you can still play & enjoy table tennis.

I'm still doing yoga 2 - 4 x a week & yesterday afternoon I went for an approximately 6 km run. 

I've been slack with the strength training on the gym set....

@MoonGal how are you travelling?

Take care all & happy exercising!

Namaste,

A

@Former-Member thanks for asking. I am travelling quietly, coming up and out of 9 weeks of terrible time due to a medication change. Still walking every day but no swimming due to it having exacerbated the burstitis in both my shoulders. I am just doing one day at a time at the moment and keeping everything turned down, trying to stay on the planet.

Hi Butterfly watched a free yoga app on IPad this morning. Miss Body Balance at gym. Tried a few poses for legs .I like yoga but don't do it as regularly as I should

Hope you are traveling well, Moongal.
Hi everyone have been taking it easier at home as I pulled a chest muscle. Ihave bought a GarminVivofit band and linked it to My Fitness App.has given me great motivation to track my food and exercise and ultimately lose my excess weight and result in a fitter healthier me.How is everyone else ?

Hi @Polly48 

So glad you kept this thread alive. 

I am like you ie should do more yoga than I do, but was told to do poses (headstands) that the experts couldnt agree about whether it would help or hinder my neck issues.  So the bottom line for me .. is seek advice and LISTEN to our bodies.  My headstands never did any noticeable damage ... it had mostly been done by then ... and I approached it slowly ... I like the sensation of blood to the head ... and seeing the world upside down.

@Former-Member  How are you .. repetition is such a big thing in life ... how to keep from boredom wearing away at our resolve to do things that are good for us. 

How is your home going?   The idea of "tinyhouses" is becoming popular.  Is yours a cosy enough shack for now? At least you are not getting heavily into debt and can sort out your priorities.  That takes time as there is a lot to figure out.  Give cats a cuddle from me.

@MoonGal  How are the doggits going?

My feet and legs really ache at the moment ... as this weeks big musical ventures for me included at least an hour of walking each day and catching pt. I have been gingerly walking on my carpet today ... and resting up.
