What exercise have you done today?

[outlander]

3 supersets of one arm dumbell rows and behind the head pull ups. Finished up with 3 sets of deadlifts.

Later in the afternoon a brisk 15 minute bicycle ride. Two long hills involved, I use a middle gear and stand up to get a good pump.

Today: 60 minutes Active Aging circuit class. 45 minutes treadmill.

Started my new workout of ten exercises (primal movements they're calling them.)
It only took me 5 minutes because I just did 5 reps each. I'll double that tomorrow if there's no shoulder or knee pain tonight.

 

[Della]

Doubled the reps to 10 each today and it still only took 7 minutes so tomorrow I'll do 15.
My knee doesn't like it, but it doesn't like anything but sitting.
The main thing is, I can do sink push-ups without my rotator cuffs hurting. It's amazing how holding my
core in tight takes a lot of effort off my arms and shoulders.

3 sets of classic barbell squats followed by 3 supersets of lunges with straight leg deadlifts.

I take 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in 6 ounces of warm water every morning to reduce inflammation. It has helped me maintain joint mobility and comfort as well as having many health benefits including circulatory and cardio. This might help your knee discomfort?

I have a damaged rotator cuff tendon which I am trying to heal, no surgery unless absolutely necessary. I do dead hangs (hanging from a pull-up position) which has really helped with both discomfort and strengthening. It opens and relaxes the rotator cuff allowing the option of light exercise to strengthen and keep the rotator cuff in proper alignment/position. I still have a ways to go, but it is improving.

My once broken elbow and wrist feel must better when I lift since I went off Fossamax. They hurt before I went on it, then hurt more when on it, now I hardly feel them. Don't know if its the medication stop or the exercise.

Probably both? Cayenne pepper is your friend

Weight resistance training is one of the best ways to increase bone density.

2 sets of PP discs, 2 sets of dumbbell bent over reverse flys, set of dumbbell seated military press and set of dumbbell standing flys in the books. Planning to power walk 2 miles later.

Thanks for mentioning, I have been a long time culinary fan of chilies and peppers, and have known of the pain relieving properties of Capsaicin, but in recent times have not been availing myself of the benefits. I will get back into using capsaicin on a regular basis.

Another low impact~no impact exercise is the Plank. I prefer the High Plank, which is just the push up position, as the more common version that has you bearing your body weight on the forearms just isn't good for my 70+ yr. old elbows.

Far too warm here for anything strenuous, but I'm trying to get some more tidying done before daughter comes to visit in a couple of weeks.
Come rain or come shine, I will soon have to cut the grass in the garden. I've often wondered how far I walk up and down the garden, but I don't have a pedometer.
