Last Day of Therapy

Today was my eighth and last day of therapy for my ankle and it feels a million times better. Therapy was a success, as it always is when you are consistent and do exactly as the therapist says. I learned this lesson 12 years ago in intensive therapy. It’s not just about what you do … Continue reading Last Day of Therapy

Two Apple Fitness Collections in August

I still haven’t finished the 60 Minutes of Cardio Strength and Yoga Collection I started in July. I knew it would be difficult when I started it but I was up for the challenge and very optimistic about being able to finish it in one month.

Feeling better and even exercising again!

This week I didn’t feel any symptoms of Mycoplasma so I decided it would be a good idea to start exercising again.

I’m almost … Continue reading Week four already?

Driving 101

A few hours ago I took my first "driving lesson" since my neurologist told me I could drive. I say "driving lesson" because I just took to the wheel when the car was in the building's parking lot and drove it down to the indoor parking. I sat down, moved the seat a little bit … Continue reading Driving 101

Euro 2016 cardio

I'm a soccer fan, not a huge fan but I like to watch the tournaments and I am in love with a few players. However, I had not been watching the UEFA European Cup or Copa America both being held right now. I really haven't had time and that sucks, but this after noon, as … Continue reading Euro 2016 cardio

Strength? Cardio?

Is Strength Training or Cardio Better for Fat Loss? This was interesting. I thought we could get those muscles from just doing cardio, and strength training was so we could lift stuff. Strength training always seemed like it was for people who wanted to be Superman, people who wanted to have big muscles. I was … Continue reading Strength? Cardio?
