My life has changed again. My mother under went a hospital
stay and is now living in a skilled nursing facility. She is receiving excellent
care and I am able to return to my old life. This means returning to
activities. Currently I visit my mother most Tuesdays and Thursdays then go to
Planet Fitness for a 30-minute walk on a treadmill.
It is surprising how much stamina is lost in six months of
staying home. It feels like starting from the beginning again. Thirty minutes
and a 3.0 speed makes me sweat. So, sweat I do. Hopefully the speed will begin
to move up as time goes on.
Additionally, I am doing a mini cross-fit workout on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday. There is a pet park two blocks from home. It has a
circular track which I walk around one time then do 5 jumping jacks. Then walk
again followed by 5 squats. This routine continues through pushups and squat
jumps. It adds 3,000 steps to my day. The plan is to add one repetition each
day. Yesterday 6 repetitions of each calisthenic move was completed. Monday
there will be 7 repetitions and so forth. My goal is 50 repetitions which will
take 20 weeks. Between today and November we will discover how much my body can
do! In October I will be 60 years old. Can a 60-year-old woman do this?
