Well, we're at Hell, oops - Holy Week! As a volunteer church singer in a large Episcopal church, I will be on my feet a lot this week. Hope everyone has a great week.
Monday: Fence 1.5 hours if I'm lucky (I have board meeting which was postponed due to last week's snow.)
Tuesday - gym at least an hour - agility and weights plus a 2 hour rehearsal
Wednesday - fencing 2.5 hours
Thursday - Rehearsal and service roughly 3.5 hours. Try to get to yoga in the afternoon to loosen up.
Friday - Pilates and weights
Saturday - Rehearsal noon to 3. Choir cal at 7 for 8 pm service that will go to 10:30 so a lot of standing, walking and singing - most at the same time.
Sunday - 2 hour rehearsal and 2 hour service and a stiff drink.
Keep on losing!

Thanks. If you get the chance to do the floating yoga, do it. It was a challenge and fun. Need to check the weather. Right now, I'm trying to get ready for the fourth nor-easter in four weeks to hit Philly. This winter has been brutal.

Sorry that you got your butt kicked but as long as you learn that is what counts. I would love to try floating yoga. Saw it on tv last summer and thought it would real neat to try. Have a good week and good luck with all the walking
So, yesterday, I got my butt kicked from one end of the strip to another -placed dead last in my tournament but that's ok - I learned. I also did a floating yoga class - on paddleboards in the pool at my health club - that was totally cool. This week - here we go
Monday - fencing 2 hours
Tuesday - gym for a workout and 1/2 hour fencing lesson
Wednesday - fencing 1.5 hours (I have a board meeting)
Thursday - choir rehearsal 2.5 hours (I count that as yoga for fitness purposes)
Friday - Pilates and gym
Saturday - March for Our Lives in DC - lots of walking, followed by more walking.
Have a great week! My crazy hubby is doing a 5 miler back to back with a half marathon on Saturday and Sunday this weekend.

I agree with Gwen - you need to find something you like to do and get out and do it. In Maine, there are so many things you could be doing - snowshoeing, cross country skiing, hiking, but the key is finding what speaks to you.
I started fencing (as in en garde) last year. I love it - I fence 4-5 hours a week plus work out in the gym to support my fencing. I do yoga and pilates and work with a personal trainer.
That's another suggestion - spend a little for one or two sessions with a personal trainer who can develop a plan for you to follow - that makes the gym so much less intimidating when someone lines up a hour worth of stuff for you to do.

This will be a light workout for me this week. Big race is on sunday
Monday lots of walking busy work day
tue very light strength training
Wed master swim
Thursday 45 minute light easy run
Friday rest
Saturday 20 minute run
Sunday 30k race
My best recommendation is to find activity you love and do it. For me, that's running, yoga, pilates, and tai chi - plus other random fitness classes that I have access to. I also like weight lifting and need to get back to that once I finish up with physical therapy, so have the time to do it again.
Then there are the normal recommendations - take the steps, park farther away, etc.
