Guest guest Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Donna, I am so glad you are feeling better! I used to have that set on VHS. I love Suzanne Deason. I don't love Pilates, but if I had to do Pilates, it would be with her. Enjoy your short work week! Oh my goodness, why hadn't I remembered this? We have a recumbent bike in our condo gym. I never used it before because I never felt my HR go up, and I was out on my bike anyway, but that seems like it would be a safe thing to try these days. Hmm... Our holiday was very quiet and relaxing - it helped that it was just the three of us and my mom!! Hi Everyone, My cold seems to be mostly gone and my back/hips is better!!! Today I got back in to working out - I did 35 min on the recumbent bike and then I did 30 min of core work w/ Suzanne Deason's balance ball for abs ($1.99 at 's sale!) I liked this DVD, I had the VHS tape when it first came out. It is a relaxing Pilates-style workout w/ the ball. I'm planning more of the same for this week - nothing strenuous and I'll get back to more " serious " workouts next week. I'm working 2 days this week (one of which, I'm working at home) and home 2 days - so that will be good. Hope everyone has a relaxing day after!!Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Yes! The recumbent is excellent for working around injuries and such. I also use it when I'm in the mood for low-key-mindless exercise. I actually work up a good sweat on it and it is challenging if I up the resitance. I still would like a spin bike for variety! I'm glad you're healing - sorry to hear about the kitchen cleaning flare up - that is worse than the wine flare - at least the wine was probably enjoyable initially! :)Donna Our holiday was very quiet and relaxing - it helped that it was just the three of us and my mom!!

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Thanks Donna. I realized that my setbacks are much milder than before. My old setbacks landed me in the ER, LOL. By the same token, the good days keep getting better. Today felt almost normal. I'm thrilled. I hope you can get your spin bike! Yes! The recumbent is excellent for working around injuries and such.
