I'm already migraine-headache-drained; and we've only been here 18 days.
With each migraine pulse, my halo threatens to slip completely off.
Please God! Drain the swamp & clear the air.
I've removed my presence from the main living area - I can't stay golden if I don't shut the disrespect down.
The first day of spring is just days away - so, I concentrated on making headway in the sleeveless tops in my closet: too much fat tissue in the underarm, armpit and back area can make sleeveless clothing look & feel uncomfortable - as well as cause aesthetic and health problems; the workout I chose today will help burn that fat off. The Darebee Storm Princess workout is a cardiovascular exercise designed to raise your body temperature and increase your breathing rate without tiring you out. It focuses on upper body dexterity and muscle control, making it ideal for workouts without feeling fatigued. The workout includes various exercises that help build strength and stability, perfect for those looking to enhance their fitness routine.
#I've also noted below, alternative moves for easier motion.
Arm Circles are generally safe for a 69-year-old woman to do, provided she follows proper technique and is mindful of her body's feedback - stop any exercise that causes sharp pain or discomfort. It's best to modify or rest rather than push through. Start Slow and Small: Begin with small, controlled circles and gradually increase the size as comfort allows. It's important to note that while arm circles can be beneficial, they should be part of a broader exercise routine that includes a variety of exercises to build strength, stability, and flexibility.
Stand comfortably with your torso upright; raise your arms to the sides at shoulder height, with your palms facing down - create small forward circles in the air for 20 seconds (count 1, 2, 3, ect.); then, make circles with a backward motion for another 20 seconds = this is one set. Perform EA set, x3 This duration allows for a full range of motion and helps to target the muscles in the arms effectively. It is important to perform these exercises with proper form and to listen to your body to avoid overexertion.
#Seated Option for Stability: For those with balance concerns, performing the exercise while seated in a sturdy, armless chair is a safe modification: sit comfortably on a chair with your torso upright; raise your arms to the sides at shoulder height, with your palms facing down - create small forward circles in the air for 20 seconds (count 1, 2, 3, ect.); then, make circles with a backward motion for another 20 seconds = this is one set. Perform EA set, x3 This duration allows for a full range of motion and helps to target the muscles in the arms effectively. It is important to perform these exercises with proper form and to listen to your body to avoid overexertion.
Arm Scissors/Crossovers are safe for a 69-year-old woman to do as part of her exercise routine. Arm exercises, including arm scissors, can help strengthen the arms and improve daily function~count of 20 x3
Step Jacks can be safe for a 69-year-old woman if there are no underlying medical issues such as arthritis, osteoporosis, or balance issues. Step Jacks involve repetitive stepping and lateral movement, which can place stress on the knees, hips, and ankles. Know your body & use caution if you proceed. Step Jacks are designed to improve lower body strength, balance, coordination, and cardiovascular health, which are particularly important for seniors aiming to maintain mobility and reduce fall risk. They engage muscles in the legs, glutes, and core, while also providing a mild aerobic workout.
Start Slowly: Begin with a slower pace and lower step height to reduce impact on joints. Wear Proper Footwear: Shoes with good cushioning and arch support help absorb impact and prevent slips. Monitor Intensity: Keep movements controlled and avoid jumping or rapid side-to-side motions that could stress joints~count of 20 x3
#Seated Option for Stability: For those with balance concerns, performing the exercise while seated in a sturdy, armless chair is a safe modification: sit comfortably on a chair with your torso upright, your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands resting on your thighs - maintain an upright posture throughout the movement, keeping your spine aligned and core engaged. When performing the Sitting Jack, make sure to fully extend your legs out to the sides and your arms overhead, reaching as far as you comfortably can. This will engage your muscles more effectively and maximize the benefits of the exercise. Proper breathing technique is also crucial for this exercise. As you lower your legs and arms, exhale slowly and fully. Then, as you bring your legs and arms back up, inhale deeply. This coordinated breathing pattern will help you maintain control and stability while performing the Sitting Jack.
Remember to always listen to your body and modify the exercise as needed. By practicing proper form, avoiding common errors, and using the correct breathing technique, you can perform the Sitting Jack safely and effectively~count of 20 x3
After the workout, I spent the bulk of the day yawning.
Rain arrived as I was watching John's Roundtable discussion - small talk bores me … but I enjoy listening to (and engaging in, when I can) interesting discussions, like this one:
