It was another successful week on the activity side of
maintenance. I even got in a day of
double activity!! I earned 20 APs total this week and my FitBit says I walked 62,077 steps and 27.96 miles. Very nice!
Wednesday: Group Active at YMCA
I decided to try out my old go-to class at the Y. I have not been back to Group Active since I hurt my back in August. It has been a
very long time! I wanted to see how my
back would tolerate the movements. Group
Active is a 60 minute class broken up into 20 minutes on the step, 20 minutes
lifting weights, and 20 minutes doing balance and strength. I went really easy and kept the step on the
lowest level. I also lifted 5 pounds
weights vs. my usual 8 pounds. I had to rest a few times during the moves with the weights and with the balance track. My
back held up okay but I was not pain free.
I was pretty sore the next day. Thankfully it subsided after a day or so.
I walked the track and did some PT moves before my
class started. 4 APs earned.
Thursday: Outdoor 2 mile walk
I got called into work just before 6am. My plan was to go to the Y for some time on
the elliptical later in the day. Since I had not planned
to go into work I didn’t get up early for exercise. I went out for a quick 2 mile walk outside after
work. 3 APs earned.
Friday: 2 miles on the treadmill and some time at the
YMCA
I started my morning out at 3:30am with 2 miles on the
treadmill. After work I went to the Y
and did 25 minutes on the elliptical, a little bit on the bike, and walked the
track. I also did a few PT moves. I wasn't feeling my exercise after work so it was a bit of a struggle. 6 APs earned total.
Saturday: 3 miles on the treadmill
I had extra time this morning since I didn’t have to be
to work until 7am. I walked three miles
on the treadmill in about an hour. 4 APs
earned.
Sunday:
I have been really tired on Saturdays that I’m about
to fall asleep in my dinner! I had
decided Saturday night I would sleep in on Sunday and skip my morning
workout. I wasn’t really even sure if I’d
get in any activity or just have a rest day. It was decided that this would be a rest day! I just couldn't muster up the energy to exercise.
Monday:
I
was happy for my rest day on Sunday so I powered through and
woke up at 3:30am to hit up the treadmill. I walked 2.5 miles
and earned 3APs.
