EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Thursday

by Bev-MI

Apr 26, 2018

Good afternoon! The sun is shinning and the snow is almost gone!! Little green leaves poking up in the flower garden.

7,800 steps so far today. I got 3 miles in, walking at the senior hall. I've been busy knitting baby things!! My oldest niece is expecting this fall. This is the gal who travels all over the world, lived a year in Russia, and is now living in San Francisco. Her dh works for apple and they get to travel a lot. Now for their next adventure!!

Keep movin'.

I thought this site died a couple months ago since after several days/weeks of attempting never worked, I stopped trying. For some reason this morning I thought I would try again and here I am.

I bought my new hybrid bike almost a month ago. The weather here has not been desirable for much outdoor riding with the cold and lots of rain, even snow. However last week I have taken it out for rides numerous times and I just ride along effortlessly. What an amazing difference between riding my 40 year in old bike and this one. I foresee longer and faster rides this summer. I am excited!

My cycling club asked me to lead a regular group of novice/senior cyclists each week. I accepted. It's just on bike trails which we have considerable and easily accessible. I still need to get a mirror to help me see behind me. I will start after school is out for me in a couple weeks. I also want to help with the training group I was in last summer on Saturday. They also have groups going out on Thursday evenings and having a social/dinner afterwards at a new pub near our routes. That should be my summer routine for outdoor riding.

I still do spinning class at least once a week. I try to continue that in the summer to use as cross training. I don't stand much riding outside like we do in spinning.

Unfortunately my very last test for my Medicare physical showed that my borderline osteoporosis has crossed over into the real thing. They wanted me to take 1500 mg of calcium supplements plus vitamin D in addition to some prescription med. I researched the side affects of that, and I told them I did not feel comfortable taking it since the potential damage would be permanent. I do not take nor have taken prescription drugs except antibiotics a couple times. They told me then to just stick with the calcium vitamin D. That works for me. I can also increase a weight resistance routine. Evidently all the walking I do isn't enough; so more is needed. I dislike lifting weights so I am going to look into piyo or yoga because I could use more flexibility in my hip area to balance all the cycling.

I signed up to teach again in the fall so my head is full of all sorts of ideas on how I want to set up the room and curriculum. I am only having 4 girls and the rest boys so they will need plenty of opportunity for movement built in. I will have a new co teacher so instead of me having to adjust to the style set in the early weeks, it will be the other way around.

Grandson age 11 got his new bigger bike with gears so we should have lots of rides together. He went with me last Sunday on his too small bike and ended up walking a lot towards the end because he couldn't keep up. Now he's got the right size and has no excuses. He lives riding bikes.

So that is my catch up roll call story. Have the others like Elaine been posting?

Keep movin' everybody!
