Thursday, August 1, 2019: GMB Trial

My right hip flexor was hurting and then it moved to my right lower back spot. I thought I would try something new. I got this free trial for five days of GMB Fitness. I wasn't going to start till after camping - but hopefully it will last until I resume upon our return. I thought it would be good to try and add some of these moves into my class warm-up this year. I also read good reviews about it being a good workout to prevent injuries and since I am always moving from one injury to another... well, you know, I thought this might be a good new one for me.

Today's workout was fairly easy for me. I did the Banzai Frogger and the Bear Twists. The workout took 29 minutes. I like how it is laid out. I used my watch to time the 30 and 60 second sets.

Wednesday, July 24, 2019: Skate & 21 Day Fix Extreme: Plyo Fix Extreme

I love my morning family skates. I am trying to enjoy them because just as fast as Biggy has picked up his skating and gotten into it, I know he will not want to skate with his mom and dad one day. He will be a nighty and we will be too old to keep up anyways. So, I may be missing ballet at Harbour, but ballet at Harbour will always be there (I hope). Morning family skates won't.

I did nose bonks trying to slide, shuv-its, and rode 30 times off the Terry before I slammed. Biggy tried manuals. Cakes is not doing too good. His dogs are barking. His shoes were discontinued and he is having a hard time finding ones that make his feet happy. 

As my right hip flexor was ailing from the kicks and leg lifts in Insanity Max 30, I decided to try 21 Day Fix Extreme for a bit. I know it is day one of the real times, but it seems way easier than Shaun T. I am enjoying the "rest." It is nice to see Autumn again too - although, I am not too fond of bearded pointing dude. It is also nice to see Donald there in the back. We will see how it goes. I am enjoying my non-commitment summer.

Tuesday, July 23, 2019: Skate & Insanity Max 30: Pulse & Ab Attack 10

This morning I am going to complain about my right hip flexor. This is the second time this summer it has been bumming me out. I need to rest it and let it get better... but I don't want to do nothing. SO, I just modify and do what I can. I look forward to the Pulse 20 minute workout - it is a nice break from all the jumping. The Ab Attack 10 has a lot of hip flexor stuff in it. Maybe I will take a break from Insanity Max and do a couple of weeks of 21 Day Fix - those live ones. Then, when the hip is better and we are on vacation - I will go back to Insanity Max 30... no equipment needed.

Thurs. July 18, 2019: Insanity Max 30

I have finished week one and just started week two of Insanity Max 30. I am going to keep going with this program for now. I am not sure if I will do two whole months but I do like the shorter workouts and no equipment. It is something I can do anywhere and easily everyday. I do miss the weights a little bit - but I will add some Autumn or maybe even try one of the other weight programs when I get back to school.

I miss my Harbour 1:30 Hip Hops. I am looking forward to summer school being over.

I haven't done my yoga or filmed it yet. Maybe I need to force myself to do it - set a goal for having it done by the end of July.

I also haven't run in a while. I need to do one of those. I have to find out what happens to Lopez.

Thurs. July 11, 2019: Harrison Yoga Chill

This is the second day in a row that I have done my yoga class that I made for Harrison. My goal is still to have it completely memorized and film it somewhere beautiful. Once that is done, I would like to make a new one and do the same for that. I wonder if I will make a variation of this same class - nah - I think I will make a new playlist - and just make something similar. It is a little bit of a challenge for balance and strength and a good stretch. It is only 37 minutes long - 40 minutes if I really added in the savasana at the end - but I am never good at laying at the end.

Thursday, July 11, 2019: Insanity Max: 30 Cardio Challenge

Today, I thought I was getting up to run with Lopez, but it was kind of grey out... so I thought maybe I would do the Cardio Flow... then I decided to try out what Wanyae was doing. I can do 30 minutes right? Well - it was tough. After the half way mark I started not making it to every count down - ending a little early. It is a sweaty one - but I kind of liked it. It is fun to do something different. I might try this a little longer - see how it goes... I think. This is my summer of indecision and trying not to force myself to do anything... so I am not making myself any promises other than I will keep moving and dancing in some sort of way each day - but 30 minutes goes quick and no equipment is nice too... anywho - that is what I did today. Today I was Wanyae.

Sat. July 6, 2019: 80 Day Obsession: Day 68: Booty & Family Skate at Terry Fox

This morning, I got up and ready to do my Booty workout. However, Biggy woke up ready to skate - so we headed out to our E spot at the stadium. All the security gates were out and blocking the spot, so we decided to roll around to Terry Fox at the front. There is a huge manual pad there. I want to be able to ollie up and off of it. I am scared though. BUT... Biggy rode up and off of it today - it was amazing. I love this kid. Jonny had to go off to the studio - but Biggy and I skated for an hour and a half. He wanted to skate all day but the rains came.

When I got home, I made us a snack and then I did my workout. I didn't want to do my workout - but I did it and now it is in the books.
