walk+urban rebounding LONG

[Guest guest]

hi!

yesterday (monday) i walked chinook for around an hour... went

down to the chicken farm and back. it was cool and windy but i

was bundled up and enjoyed the walk. i put 900 new mp3s on my

player... should last me for a while nothing exciting to

report... but this is still roadkill season so there was some of

that to experience...yuck!

the wildlife is really moving around right now, looking for

food and shelter i guess... a deer ran out in front of my car

the other night while i was driving home from work (11pm) and i

barely missed her... had to slam on the brakes and the groceries

that were in the back of the car flew into the front. the other

day i frightened a group of boar(s) that were standing on the

highway... as soon as they heard my loud stereo coming (heh heh)

they couldnt get out of the way fast enough. a little one at the

end was trying so hard that i had to laugh.

but i digress.... after walking i did urban rebounding 'senior

bound' (aka 'old-timers'), which was way too easy so i modified

up and had a fun time. (30 mins) the instructor was a guy

named 'jo jo' and he was a character. but he kept saying 'i know

that you are ready' (to do the move faster or to let go of their

stability bar and use their arms, etc) and this got to be

annoying. and the moves were quite repetitive, which is to be

expected in this workout, along with 'first-timers', but i think

they could have done more with it and still kept it easy.

after that i did urban rebounding 'ab bound' which surprised me.

i was expecting to be on my back on the rebounder doing

crunches for the whole thing. and yes of course there was a

long set of those to start. i managed to do some of them before

i switched to reverse crunches for lower abs instead. of course

then JB switches to reverse crunches..lol. no probs i need alot

of work for that anyway. what surprised me was that he included

some pilates exercises, so good on JB! and there were some

good stretches at the end. also this workout is listed as being

45 mins long and it did not seem that long to me, which is a good

thing. JB is a good instructor! the only thing that bugs me is

that he refers to himself, by name, in the third person. i

guess he is trying to be funny but it is kind of weird.

WOW!

step count yesterday was fabulous after some abysmal days... also

gained a couple of pounds back but now have my head back into the

game. i pulled out a bunch of jeans from my closet that were

way too small and now a whole bunch of them fit... i am so

happy!!! but now is the constant battle to keep it off and to

lose a bit more.

it is cold this morning so im off to do housework and will walk

and workout in my early pm window when it is hopefully warmer

out. we had our first frost the other night :/
