Exercise Routine Week 1


Well I got started. I did do the Five by Five Challenge five mornings. I don’t do formal exercises over the weekends. I did two reps of each of the five exercises and then repeated the sequence. I think I may increase to three times next week.
Also, I am doing Beth’s Beginning Workout Pathway to get restarted. You can choose from six workouts, or groups of workouts. These are primarily between ten and fifteen minutes each. There is a range of exertion involved with one group sitting and one stretching. This week I chose Ankles and Upper Body (repeated on another day), Big Band, the Neck Routine, and Basic Transverse and Mula Bandha. The emphasis is on strengthening the core muscles that keep us upright and balanced. I was somewhat loafing on a couple of days so I chose some very easy and basic routines on those days. I need to do a full review of each of these routines, but later for that. If you are already a member of her studio, you will know anyway. If not,you can join here. Yes, I am an affiliate, but as you can see I use this.
As for Katy, I am starting again at the beginning of her book about aging. First I stretched of the top of the foot, and then stimulated the bottom. You can walk on uneven surfaces for the latter or use a tennis ball. I use the tennis ball. What passes for lawn here is a patch of weeds full of very sharp evergreen needles. I’m not that dedicated.
As I said above this is a perfect time to Beth or buy a stand alone course that you can keep forever, or at least as long as Fit2B exists. The Five by Five Challenge and 14 Days to Better Neck Posture, which includes the Neck Routine, are both on sale.  Since Beth is considerably younger than I, for me this is lifetime ☺ Hopefully using my affiliate link, some of you will live longer.

YOUNG HEROES

  RICHARD Richard had always dreamed of being a pilot. He finished the required 2 years of college to be a cadet. He was doing well, until he actually had to go airborne. He immediately got airsick. The Navy worked with him and after a few weeks, he was able to learn to fly. The first planes were essentially civilian planes that were almost impossible to stall out, to make it safer to learn. After the basics, they learned to fly on instruments. The student pilot was hooded, so he couldn’t see anything outside the cockpit. The instructor was behind with full vision and the ability to override the student. A couple of instructors weren’t paying attention as the wing of another plane struck Richard and his instructor’s cockpit. That plane made it down, but Richard’s lay in pieces. They finally found 3 arms to verify that both men were killed. GLENN The first military plane they learned to fly was the T-28. They are highly maneuverable, but they take a bit to get up to speed.

Continutation of the race relations memories - Navy

PENSACOLA The First Duty station was Pensacola, Florida. That was southern Alabama culture. There was only one black recruit in the pilot training. The recruits had to do a survival exercise and they were ordered not to touch snakes. Florida has every variety living in the 48 states. He thought he knew which were poisonous and picked one up. He was removed from the program. There were black and white drinking fountains and separate facilities in general. Banks were open on Lincoln’s Birthday and closed on Jefferson Davis’s. This was when Lincoln and Washington had their own birthday holidays. I listened to one of the wives who had been a student at Ole Miss when it was desegregated. She said the student could have cared less. The only time there was trouble was when the reporters paid student to throw rocks. Not saying there weren’t any riots, just her experience. Another friend from Tidewater Virginia. She said at one time she wanted to hug a black person, but just couldn’t.

First Years Civilian

  UNITED Late 60’s Denver We lived in an apartment building with other pilot trainees. There was racial unrest in our country as well as Canada. 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 confided t
