  1. Every morning, I text the AQI reading from my sensor to my walking partner and let her decide if we walk. Today, the #AQI is 90 at my house. She says yes, but an hour later than our usual 7 AM.

    The walk is 1.6 miles round-trip, up our gravel road and back. There are enough hills to get my pulse up so I close my watch's #exercise ring on every walk. I'd like to do it at least five days a week but between the weather and her work schedule (she works from home) it's been tough. (1/2)

  3. A meta-analysis of 24 randomized controlled trials with over 16,000 participants evaluated the effect of different types of exercise on blood osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase, markers of bone growth. Only high-intensity exercise, particularly in combination with dynamic loading, seemed to stimulate bone growth.

    Note that each exercise type was represented by only 2-7 studies.

  5. Good morning tooters. It was a bit warmer than the forecast last night, 9c when I woke up right on the dot of 6am, today it is getting up to 16c but it is still grey dreary skies 😏. No sun appeared yesterday at all & but there is supposedly some sunshine appearing late this afternoon - who knows if it will appear though 🤷🏼‍♀️.
    I got all done yesterday that I wanted to do. My lunch out with my friend went for a couple of hours we talked so much. We haven’t seen each other for more than a month & normally see each other every week. So it was lovely & while we haven’t seen each over this time, we have messaged, but still had a lot to catch up on. The food was pretty good too 😁.
    I did have some plans to go for a walk today, but if I do it’ll be after lunch, which is fine. The maintenance guy from CHL is coming late morning today to have a look at my units issues - I’m feeling quite cynical about it all though 😏, unusual for my typical optimistic self - so we will see!
    Happy #Friday everyone, enjoy your day & hoping it’s a good one 🌻. #Weather #Friends #Exercise #HomeMaintenance.

  7. Too hot to do anything too physical today, so while I'm sitting at my desk, I'm doing hip abductions 😅

  9. Good morning Fedi friends. When I got up I was pretty happy to notice a clear sky & fading stars thinking it meant some sunshine. Vain hope as it’s become grey again 🤷🏼‍♀️. Mind you sunshine might come later if I’m lucky. It was 7c at 6am - lovely & still outside - #BonnieTheDogNextDoor heard me go out & quietly whined. I feel so sorry for her & but don’t dare speak to her as it sets her off nowadays 😕. Anyway it was lovely & fresh out there. Today it is going to get up to 14c & while there is still a little rain around, I’d be surprised if we get any.
    A couple of things on the agenda today. First up when I’m organised I am going to do one of the Balance classes I enjoy. I also need to get in touch with my niece in Adelaide as it’s my brothers birthday coming up. I have written a card for him & brought some Lindt chocs to send over, but I haven’t written him a letter in a while. He’s in a care home with dementia & I don’t know how he is right now & need to find out - I hate to admit it though - I’m not sure I really want to know, but I need to ☹️.
    Also today I’m meeting a good friend for lunch out & am looking forward to that. So a bit of an up & down day.
    Hope you wall have a good #Thursday, stay warm out there 🌻. #Weather #Exercise #Family #Friends.

  11. Why Your Warm-Up Can Reveal Recovery Problems ❤️‍🩹

    Your warm-up is more than preparation, it can serve as a daily recovery check-in. Pay attention to how familiar movements feel compared with your normal baseline, then adjust the workout when necessary.

  13. It is Wednesday and that means swimming first thing! It was quiet to begin with but then more and more people turned up, how rude! I do like the ones who go out hard fir the first lap, then slow drastically after that, so they pass me initially then I lap them a few times 😀

    Sadly, it only decided to start to lightly rain as I was leaving, dammit.

    This is an excellent track to exercise to

  15. 💪 Combining aerobic and muscle-strengthening exercises significantly reduces the risk of chronic diseases.

    📉 Individuals doing both saw a 23% reduction in cancer risk, 24% in hypertension, and 50% in type 2 diabetes, according to a 9-year study of over 8,000 Brisbane adults (aged 40-64).

    📊 While half of participants met aerobic activity guidelines, only 24% met both aerobic and muscle-strengthening activity recommendations.

  17. Good morning tooters. It was quite a warm night, around 8c & we may get a little rain again. It’s very grey & dreary out also, no sunshine again. It looks like it’ll be dreary for another day at least. It will be a little warmer today reaching 13c, I’m fine with that & probably won’t need the heater on much longer today.
    I don’t go out the back of my place much at the moment as the weather stripping on the back door still isn’t fixed & to hold it in I walk around the outside of the unit to push & hold the strip in with a brick just in case there’s a heavy downpour again. Saying that I had an interesting phone call from the CMS team yesterday which is community housing maintenance with apologies & asking if I’d be home late morning on Friday - I am. I was a bit sarcastic 😬 asking if this was just another review of the issues I have & received more apologies. So we will see.
    Right, time to shower & get ready for my day which will start with a Balance class & then the day will be whatever takes my fancy 😁.
    Wishing you all a terrific #Tuesday, stay warm & dry out there 🌻. #Weather #AussieWinter #RepairAndMaintenance #Exercise

  19. Fitness Check In Day 92

    A few days ago I posted about my birthday and the days that followed but didn't touch on some other things going on. Last Monday I wanted to get on the mat and despite little sleep and overall body pain, I hit the mat to do DPPYoga Energy 2.0. It was heavily modified and since I hadn't cleaned my Manuka mat, I opted to use a cute bright blue but very thin yoga mat my brother gave me that he got for free at a yoga class he went to. Boy was it rough oh my knees, hands, back...basically all […]

  21. Slowly but surely working towards my #NewYearsResolution2026 to lose 10 pounds. My target is 192 but I'd really like to hit 190 or just a bit lower. My cardiac specialist would also be happy if I got there.

  23. Another heatwave is coming to where I'm at. I want to try and to the healthy thing and #exercise a little more again but it's much too hot to do this after work. I workout at home in a small home gym so I don't have to share equipment (phew). I want to maybe get up earlier and try things before work becsude it's the difference between working out in 12-19⁰C (62⁰F) and 30-34⁰C (93⁰F)...so it seems like a no brainer right? Tbh I'm kinda time blind and brain does not work too well after waking up, it takes a while to get going so this is why I do it after work, much less pressure and it's good for getting rid of the day's stress.

    The difference in temperatures is what draws me to this change though tbh and it doesn't cool enough to be comfortable in the evenings.

    Does anyone here exercise before work?
    Got any helpful tips besides the Nike slogan (just do it)?

  25. Well I didn’t stay warm & dry out there. I did stay warm on my walk to the greengrocers, but when I got home I had to change into dry clothes. Shoes, socks, jeans & jacket all in the garage to dry out along with the umbrella. That’s ok though, I’m nice & warm & the walk was worth getting wet for. I have what I wanted to get plus some local butter on special 😊. #Exercise.

  27. Good morning tooters. I enjoyed a nice little sleep in this morning waking as the sky lightened at 6.30am. It was about 8c when I got up for my first cuppa of the day & it won’t be be getting much higher with a forecast of only 9c. We had quite a lot of rain yesterday - nearly 40mm & more forecast for today, but nowhere near as much.
    I don’t have very much on the agenda today but there will be an exercise class & a visit down to the greengrocers & I’m considering rugging up & walking there & back. I know I’d enjoy the walk & be able to stay warm.
    Omg there’s what I think is a Grey Shrikethrush in the garden. What a beautiful call it has. Apologies for the blurry pic, taken through my glass door & zoomed in. That’s just made my day, I love my feathered visitors.
    Have a happy #Monday people, stay warm & dry out there 🌻. #Weather #AussieWinter #Exercise #GardenBirds.

  29. CW: 3 Good (fitness) things

    The quality of the air this morning feels great in my lungs

    I got a massive dopamine hit from improving my dead hang pull up technique

    Ran at 5:42/km without my heart going into overdrive (VO2 now in top 30th percentile)
