On muscle memory

What do you see in this photo?


 I am really enjoying doing Lucy Wyndham Read's 7 minute workout videos on youtube each morning.  Stuck on doing the same one for awhile, daughter L told me to try different ones.  It would avoid 'muscle memory' where your body adjusts to the same routine and it is as if you are doing nothing for your body.  Lo and behold I discovered so many new ones that Lucy has been doing.  They are quick and enjoyable and go by so quickly.  Are you a creature of habit like me?

Every winter I seem to gain 5 pounds, likely due to less activity.  It is not a good thing.

  2. I see a great four-legged friend!
    I don't know why, but I really can't train for television ... I feel dumb and alone. Better run out in the cold!

  3. At first, I thought I saw a man's back while walking into the snow... and then, finally - a beautiful black dog! 🖤

  6. that photo is such an interesting one, I see both a man and a dog, haha! it's a great moment captured as it makes you think that even our eyes can deceive us! It's good you've found a workout you like too :) I just count running after the kids as my exercise, I don't have a lot of energy to do anything formal after being with them all day, haha!

    Hope you are having a nice weekend :) We had fun with the family celebrating Lunar New Year today :)

  7. At first glance I thought it was the back of a man, after enlarging a saw a dog. I will check out the workouts. I really like doing a quick workout first thing in the morning, it's energizing and makes me feel like I'm starting the day out right. I've been doing a really old one that I used years ago for my AM kickstart, Billy Blanks 8 minute Tae Bo. Old but a really good quick little workout. Thanks for sharing what you've been doing :)

  8. This was cool. A 2 in one story for me. Someone going in to the woods and something coming out of the woods. Great exercise! Yes, we all have to keep moving..in so many ways. Thanks!

  10. Limited movement for me due to health issues. So I try to keep my mind and my hands busy at least.

  12. That photo is amazing. And I am trying very hard to keep up some exercise and slow down the winter weight gain. Like fighting salmon up stream but I'm trying :)

  14. At first I thought it was a person with an animal backpack - then I enbigganed it and see the dog. Good job with the workouts. I've been trying to do the dance route with Body Groove. My feet don't seem to move the way they used to.

  15. I have the same problem with winter weight as you do. It's from a combination of too many eating events and not enough exercise.

  20. I work out everyday, well most everyday. I have several youtube people I follow. My favorite is Body Groove dancing, Fitness walking with Leslie Sansone and another fave is SVELT. Some of her workouts have helped my back tremendously. I will check out your workout too. Have a great evening.
