2015 Exercise Log/Challenge

So glad to hear you are feeling better! Today = full rest for me, back to tossing kettlebells around tomorrow night.

I must admit, when I see the rapidly increasing potholes in the area, I am kind of thankful that I can no longer ride...

I took a full rest day today. I actually got out of work a bit early, but by the time I got home at 5:20, the temperature had plummeted from 50 to 40, it was sleeting, with the sun out, and the winds were about 30 mph, gusting more. Since I intended to take a walk, I'll just double up tomorrow.

We did a "500 swing" workout tonight, and it did indeed feature 500 kettlebell swings mixed with pushups and other things. Of course there were little breaks, it was a good workout! This is the first time I've tackled this particular workout since my hand arthritis flared, and my hands were indeed a bit sore afterwards. Things seem ok, will see how it feels tomorrow. I pushed the weight up a notch, my hands will tell me tomorrow if that was a bad idea.

Probably a rest day tomorrow.

I did about 10 minutes of my stretches, 10 minutes on the treadmill, hill walking, and then went to a step and sculpt class. This is my go-to Wednesday activity, if I am not outdoors. It's a great work out and the fitness director teaches it, in a style very much like the one i used when I was teaching. But, I am hoping this is the last one I go to until next winter!
I think my plan of riding outdoors Saturday may be fading. There is going to be rain/snow in the AM and the temperature is not going to be as high as I thought. My original plan of the last weekend in March is probably more realistic. Right now it's 26 degrees, with winds gusting to 40 mph .
