Staying healthy through this pandemic is so important. I thought it would be fun to keep each other motivated and encouraged.  ❤️ With that said....

Love to you all. ❤️❤️❤️

Pushing here denotes Sweeping the floors

Hand muscles workout ... washing the vessels.

Constant resistance to your muscles in both the contraction and lengthening phases -- which builds muscle.

Abs. I train during my Bible Reading. It's been a week and there are impressive results already.

(I'm doing the 3 months schedule for the Bible reading so I have plenty of time for these sessions) (on the first day, it hurt a lot, now it's ok)

Does housework and gardening count?😅

 

Let’s see…this morning going up and down 4 flights of stairs 10x, 100 jumps on the mini-trampoline, weightlifting squats x 30, arm weight training, 3 min.plank, glute bridges x20, ballet dances to some great emotional but expressive music from the Voice. Also body stretches like Pidgin move.

Abdominal exercises are a type of strength exercise that affect the abdominal muscles (colloquially known as the stomach muscles or "abs"). Human abdominal consist of four muscles which are your rectus abdomens, internal oblique, external oblique, and transversus abdominis. When performing abdominal exercises it is important to understand the effects, functions, the types of exercises, and think about how to perform this exercise safely.

When I want to get my heart rate up, I drink more coffee. If it gets too high, I drink wine...🤣

[Girl81]

lol.  You guys crack me up. 

 

Seriously though, anyone here with the common interest of physical fitness and working out? I'd love to "meet" some Friends with common interests (in addition to our love for Jehovah of course).

Today rode my bike with the heaviest schoolbag ever from my daughter.🤤 Back breakers!! All the while, she walked with others to school.

I had joined a gym online during covid to try to stay motivated. Some of the cardio activities I enjoy are dancing and walking. I sometimes do jacks, box squats, leg lifts. standing leg raises, and then incorporate weights. I find my heart rate skyrockets much more significantly if I'm doing weight bearing exercises. I also use youtube videos for in-home walking. Leslie Sansome, Joanna Soh, and Keomi are some of my favorites.

 

I walked 25 km last week, but that's a very minimal amount. 

 

My focus is more on protein intake, water intake, and maintaining a certain caloric value. I am a menopausal woman, so that also adds a layer of 'fun' to the mix. I seen a shift in my weight loss pattern when I dropped coffee, and sugar. These days I'm doing 100g of protein, drinking 2L or more of water, walking 30 minutes per day (sometimes less, sometimes more) I've noticed a huge jump in my energy levels by ensuring these things get done. I also supplement with a multivitamin and iron.

I walked the high school running track today with my granddaughters, for a total of 3km, we could have done more, but it was lunchtime. Water 2L. Cals 1700, a bit high for the day.

This one is hilarious and fun. Especially when she yells "show me your flavor!" 😂

I ran 5 miles today for the first time since hurting my leg 5 months ago.  I went very slow; still, it felt so good to run again; I'm so grateful to Jehovah!!! ❤️
