Getting in Shape this New Year, Hebrew New Year That Is


I am trying to establish an exercise routine. I use Fit2b for the basics, but I
am working on Dynamic Aging by Katy Bowman, too. I was doing really well, then I sprained an ankle. And basically had to quit for about six weeks.

I own Beth’s 5x5 Challenge. It features five different exercises each five times and then repeat that sequence five times. By the end of the week you have exercised all the major muscle groups. I have gotten up to three repetitions, but I am shooting for the full five and adding in the weights. I am starting with two reps. I do those first thing in the morning as a warmup for the day. .

Later in the day I am starting with the Foundational Five for review and then plan to add the Beginning Workout Path. I will probably keep up a couple of the basic exercises and the alignment workouts. I really need to get my head back over my shoulders instead of leading with it. Hopefully I can progress to more strenuous exercises in time. There are so many routines to try.

I will post weekly to let you watch. Those of you that are members can come along for the ride. If you aren’t a member and want to join, this is the perfect time. The anniversary sale starts tomorrow

As for Katy Bowman, I am starting with the top of the foot stretch. Things will progress much more slowly here, as this is all lifestyle changes not routines. Beth emphasizes lifestyle changes too, and in most cases they are the same, except Beth still has furniture. If you are wondering, what that means, check out some of Katy’s books from your local library.

You will see results faster with Beth.  I use Katy for fine tuning.And, yes there are affiliate links in this post.

There were several Canadians recently hired as well as Americans. The comment of one of the Canadians was they would trade us their French for our blacks. Florham Park I stayed with my aunt in Rye, New York, when we first moved to look for a place to rent. My aunt was recently remarried had a black maid left over from her husband’s first wife. She often reminded my aunt that the first wife “didn’t do it that way.” She was the cook and did light housework. She fluffed pillows and did minor vacuuming. She did NOT do heavy work. There was a black man that came once a week to do that. He cleaned the house including polishing the brass doorknobs. What neither had time to do was sweep the stairs into the basement. My aunt did that. While we were out in the yard, she introduced me to her neighbor. After we went back inside, she confid...

My Gym Membershp

OK, you just got your new Medicare plan with its free gym membership, or free CD’s, or free equipment. How exciting!! You plan to go at least once a week starting the new year of right. Reality check. You have to drive to the gym. It’s snowing or icy and you hate to drive in that. Maybe tomorrow. Then you sign up for a time for someone to show you how to use the equipment., right after the really sweaty, smelly guy gets off.   The classes are at odd times or they are not interesting for one reason or another. You looked at the CD/DVD options, and they have the same one you got last year. Or something for people more/less active than you are. The equipment you already have or is so cheap as to be essentially worthless. There is a better option. For less than the cost of driving to your “free” gym, You can be a member of an online gym . No weather issues getting there. No gas or parking issues. No one else’s sweat is on your equipment. The lessons on use are right...
