Oh I was in a lot of pain but that was after I sat down Saturday afternoon. I just felt good working on the yard work that I was doing. I know that I’ll always have to deal with back pain but I can’t stop doing things that others take for granted.

So I have decided that I am much better at the typerwriter push up than my husband. Maybe its because I can’t see myself doing them but I feel like I am doing them better. This weekend I way over did it on my back but I had yard work to get done. Still going strong on the yoga poses and working on the stretches as well.

Glad you had a great time with your family Scott. The place you visited looks amazing. Keep up the great work on your training plan.

That definitely sounds like a good plan to me. I have to admit that I am envious that some many friends (I like to think of you as one) can do more than just yoga such as run, lift weights etc but I know that my body just isn’t ok when I do those additional things.

Part of me is just adjusting to adding something else to my already busy schedule. Admittedly I am already getting up earlier than most people, so for me it is just taking my relaxing time in the morning and using it to do these stretches as well as the yoga. I know it will help set my day off on the right foot and since I need all the…[Read more]

Adam,

I decided to do the 28 day intermediate challenge. I figured after having rocked the 30 day challenge from the Team Fit Mom group this would be a good challenge for me.

As for the stretches I have been using them sporadically. I need to incorporate them in to my daily schedule but I just haven’t done it.

I’m a slacker!

So this past week I was able to work on my yoga poses as well as starting the 28 day push up challenge. The first days of the challenge are going good. Considering the last challenge I did was ending in 100 a day it almost felt easier but I will change the style on Wednesday so we will see how it goes. Also last week I focused on really…[Read more]

Welcome Velena! While I am not the best person to give a lot of advice I can definitely send motivation your way. It looks to me, that you have a great planned outlined above. I’m excited to hear about your progress as you go along.

Those are great pics Adam. Looks like you got some good air over that fire pit.

Thanks so much Adam. I will definitely take a look at these starting today. Actually you couldn’t have posted these at a better time.

Again thanks for all your help, support, and encouragement throughout everything.

Haha! Anytime you have an idea or an exercise that could help I am willing to try it out.

Take your time, I understand that you have a lot to do and not just encourage just me but everyone else in the Travel Strong community.

Hey I’m not going to turn down your offer of assistance. I will gladly accept any help I can get.

The three musketeers!!!!!!

When the PT and I worked together it was more pelvic tilts and I would work my core a little by resting a medicine ball on my bent legs but not a lot of stretches for home work.

Despite the sprained ankle, the lost shoes, and the to small shoes I know it must feel fantastic that you finished it. Great job, Adam!!!!

Way to be a shining example of perseverance for all of us.

Well to give you the verdict of my crazy body, aside from the increasing in frequency of headaches, my lower back is hurting some across the entire back and even in the center towards the spinal column. The other ache is in my right upper thigh and just below my hip area.

My shoulders are tight some and I do find myself stretching them out to…[Read more]

Thanks Adam. It’s strange but Saturday I was really hurting and today my body is hurting in random spots all over. Definitely trying to rest some but I don’t want to get out of the habit to much.

Thanks for all of the encouragement.

Ok, mentally my mind says I need to keep going but my body says nope. I was a slacker yesterday and did not do my yoga at all but I have full intentions of getting it done today. Also I am reviewing over the next challenge to keep building up my arm strength.

Scott, We are having the opposite type of weather here in the southern US. We are averaging mid to upper 90s Fahrenheit. My weekend was fun with my friends and I even still completed my push up challenge. Hope you enjoy time with your daughters.

Thank you Adam. Again it helped knowing that you were there to support me along the way.

I am so glad that you had a great time this weekend. I look forward to reading about it in more detail.
