Hit the gym this morning with nothing but my phone’s access
to limitless exercise suggestions. Queried
some balance ball exercises and tried a bunch out. The following 2 images were
the most helpful. Some proved impossible
for me, but I tried out about a dozen.
Then found 2 abdominal resistance machines to do (the basic
ab cruncher and the twister one). Finally headed upstairs for 35 mins on the Elliptical
crosstrainer. While at the gym, I had a
friend cancel our scheduled 9:30 walk, but I hope to get out there a little
later (it’s raining) for at least 2 miles.
Came home and made my standard Quaker quick steel cut oatmeal
w/1 diced apple & cinnamon, but forgot my almond slivers so I’ll add them
to my salad at lunch.
Below is my standard Monday/Wednesday/Friday routine:
