I have mark lauren on demand. Been using him for 2 years
I'm in the 2nd week of body weight training 2.0 I've done all his workouts but never followed a rotation til now. Next week Nov 1 I get my seizures removed! So I'll have to take a week or more off

 

[mister obama]

Wow! Impressive. I've been working more so I have not had a chance to do much. I work retail so lots of walking. I also cook alot so it's hard to get much in.my hours have increased.

Lots of long walks this week. It rained today and I really needed to give the house a proper clean, so my exercise was housework and 90 minutes of yoga

 

[Norachan]

The weather is still pretty murky, so just a 45 minute walk and then 90 minutes yoga today.

Nice tree I saw while I was out.

That sounds nice. Are there lots of Halloween decorations up?

90 minutes walk and an hour of yoga on Wednesday.
One hour walk, one hour of yoga and 30 minutes archery practice on Thursday.
45 minutes power yoga, an hour of raking up fallen leaves, an hour walk and 45 minutes of yin yoga yesterday.

I like doing these yin yoga routines after loads of other active stuff. It really helps prevent sore muscles.

Some blocks had more than others, but we saw some good stuff.

Must be nice to see them. I love Halloween colours. They don't decorate for Halloween here.

Yesterday it rained all day so I just did two 45 minute yoga practices.

Today I walked for 2 and 1/2 hours. Still no snow on Mount Fuji! Usually the top is covered by the beginning of October, the snow has never been this late before.

 

[Norachan]

One hour of yoga, a bit of wood chopping, 30 minutes archery practice and an hour walk today. It`s been a good day!

I hurt my leg while I was out on my walk yesterday. I stepped on a branch and it flipped up and whacked me in the shin. It`s not too bad. I cleaned the graze up and put plenty of antiseptic on it, but I`ve got a nice bruise. I decided that must be a sign to take a break today. I did a long yoga practice and some archery instead.

What`s everyone else been doing this weekend?

Of course! It`s the best thing we ever bought. Keeps the house warm, dries laundry and boils water for tea.

you are very close to mt. fuji! awesome volcano...

Yes, very close! The views are amazing, I just hope it doesn`t erupt any time soon.



90 minutes walk and 30 minutes yoga today.

 

[Norachan]

90 minutes yoga yesterday. 45 minutes yoga and a 2 hour walk today.

Look! There`s a teeny, tiny little smattering of snow on the top of Fuji. Maybe the world isn`t going to end after all.

Has everyone had a good week?

I went horse riding last Friday. I rode Midori and she was a very good girl but on the way home, when we were about a mile from the stables, she suddenly started limping. I got off to walk, but our guide insisted I take his horse and he walk Midori. Such a gentleman! However, he is a lot taller than I am. It took me a while to haul myself up onto his horse, then I had to ride home with really long stirrups. We made it though. Midori is fine now. We called the stables to check on her the next day and they said she was back to normal.

The mighty Sou Chan

Lots of yoga and long walks this week, plus two 30 minute archery sessions

 

[rubysmama]

Beautiful horses. Glad to hear Midori was better the next day.

Has everyone had a good week?

It's been a mix of rain, and cold and windy, so my walks have been pretty sporadic. I did rake some leaves one afternoon, which the Fitbit counted as activity, so that was something.

 

[Norachan]

90 minutes of yoga and 30 minutes archery on Friday.
1 hour walk and 1 hour of yoga on Saturday.
30 minutes archery, 2 hour walk and 30 minutes of yoga today.

We finally have some proper snow on top of Fuji. It`s freakishly warm though, I was walking around in a t-shirt this afternoon.

 

[Norachan]

How`s everyone doing? I`ve been making the most of the dry weather and walking almost every day. It`s head numbingly cold by 4 pm here, but midday is still nice.

90 minutes yoga and an hour walk today.

 

[rubysmama]

We're in a streak of endless days of damp and misty weather, so haven't been outside much at all. I miss summer.

 

[Lari]

Just a couple walks. I'm finally making it to stroller strides for the first and probably last time this month because their schedule and mine aren't meshing lately.
