FitReaders: Weekly Check-in Jun 23

 

 

#FitReaders is hosted by Geeky Bloggers Book Blog  and That’s What I’m Talking About





 

So, it turns out yoga classes are just not in the cards for me at this point. I have some tendon issues in my palm that I aggravated and it is preventing me from putting any pressure on my hand and that means no yoga for the time being. But, I found some good strength-training workouts that I’ve been doing that I actually like, so I am substituting that for now – a leg workout and an arm workout. My goal is to do the leg and arm workout on alternating days. I started this past week and so far so good!

 

 

June Goals: 

  • 10K steps M-F, at least 7,500 steps on the weekend  – 9/10, 2/4
  • 30 minutes of active walking every day, M-F – 5/5 (thank goodness for having to walk the dogs everyday!)
  • Attend at least 1 yoga class/week – on hold for the time being.
  • Eat
    mindfully/eat enough – Yes

    Kristin, you are doing very well, fitness-wise, although yoga must be on hold right now. Our dogs happily contribute to our step count, don't they? Our small dog even goes on runs with us (usually 4 mi.). Have a relaxing Sunday.

    Oh…. I can see how yoga is a no go with hand/wrist problems. You could probably get away with child's pose for down dog, but there are a lot of poses and twists that use wrists/hands. I hope you enjoy your new workout!
