Haven't posted a workout recently, but I've been steadily getting it done. Today's #fitness was a walk, and EMOM #kettlebell swings. I've managed to claw back 1 point of VO2 Max that I lost when I was sick in early January. I'm pleased with that measure of progress. #womenwholift #fitafter50

This is actually a pretty good explanation of proper #kettlebell swing technique for beginners. www.today.com/today/amp/rc... #fitness #womenwholift

I really like #Arnold 's Pump Club newsletter, always some useful information about #fitness in there. In today's, I find The Kick Test to be really good. Simple, effective, repeatable actions are the best things we can each do to improve our health. Start there. arnoldspumpclub.com/blogs/newsle...

My #fitness routine has been a bit off this last week, but I'm still at it. Today was a cold, windy walk, and EMOM #kettlebell snatches. #womenwholift #fitafter50

The irony is not lost on me that by doing a solid leg day, we may struggle to get off the toilet the next day. But by not doing it, you’re committing to struggling to get off the toilet later. #fitnesssky #gymsky #fitness #strengthtraining #mobility #healthsky

This might make me unusual, but I actually kindof like shoveling snow. I got an excellent cardio workout today doing it, good high aerobic effort score. #fitness #fitafter50

Today's #fitness was a #kettlebell session. 6 rounds of: 3 row 3 clean & press 3 squat 3 swing 3 snatch 3 reverse lunge L, R, rest TGUs before and leg raises after. Reverse lunges are definitely improving. Playing with 2x the video so a full set fits Bluesky's max length. #womenwholift #fitafter50

Yesterday was a rest day, and today's #fitness started with morning #yoga. Then I followed it with a little after work treadmill walk. #fitafter50

Sunday afternoon is for #knitting and tea while listening to the #audiobook of Black House by Stephen King and Peter Straub. I read the Talisman in the 80s and reread it a few weeks ago since I'd never gotten around to the sequel. #sockknitting

Sunday's #fitness was a spin class. I'm glad I did it, I needed some high aerobic work, but ugh not a fan of that instructor. They've started doing SpiVi classes (which i like) but she clearly didn't know how to use it and what was on the screen had no relationship to her random cues. #fitafter50

The last few days of #fitness were finishing up a few January #garmin badges. Wednesday was a rest day, so I did Breathwork just to earn that one. Then, a walk on Thursday for 10k steps. Yesterday was a great #vinyasa #yoga just because I needed it. Today's plan is #kettlebell and walk. #fitafter50

Quads are sore from lunges Sunday, and I was short on time, so I adjusted today's #fitness plan a little. Warm-up, some Turkish Getups, then 20 minutes of EMOM #kettlebell swings with the 35lb. Abs and stretching after. Pretty good total volume for those 200 swings. #womenwholift #fitafter50

I love what #arnold has to say about #coffee. But his words about - if you're eating healthy but not seeing progress maybe you need to take a more realistic look at what you're actually eating - are super important. He's a treasure to the world of #fitness. arnoldspumpclub.com/blogs/newsle...

Today's #fitness was a long-ish treadmill session that #garmin says got me back in the Productive range. My goal is to get back into the condition that I can actually run that instead of a walk. But I am where I am, patience and consistency will get me there. #fitafter50

First pic is a Merlin and the other two are a Red Shouldered Hawk. Even though the zoom makes them appear a similar size, the Hawk was twice as big as the Merlin. Cape May National Wildlife Refuge - 1/20/2025 #birds #birdphotography

Today's #fitness was a super relaxed bird walk. Effort points were low, but it helped put me over 12k steps so far today. Time in nature is the best.

Today's #fitness was a treadmill 5k walk. Not a big fan of the treadmill, but I like it better than 28°. Tomorrow should be a strength day. #garmin #fitafter50
