What is your pandemic workout? In the before times, I swam laps in the morning every weekday in the summer and at least three days a week in the winter. When I was in session in Phoenix, I even had two gym memberships, one at the Racquet Club here in Tucson and one at LA Fitness in Phoenix to help me keep up with the swimming, reduce stress and control my weight. Now I have no gym memberships -- a big savings. Since March, I have been doing a combo of floor exercises, flow yoga, elaborate sun salutations, chi gong, bits of tai chi, and random walks and bike rides. I recently added weight training back to the mix. Jim and I used to swim ~5 days a week and lift weight on ~2 days a week at the Racquet Club for years. He dropped swimming laps (after nasty bronchitis one winter) and started walking the dog. I kept up with swimming on my own, and we both ditched the weight room (although we talked about it a lot). I was up to 10-15 lbs before. I am starting back with 5-10 lbs. but, hey, I'm doing it. When I went to Canyon Ranch many years ago, they said it takes a month to build a habit and a day to break it. My goal is weights and strength yoga three days a week with weights and yoga strength training and the other random exercises (walking, biking, gardening, and regular yoga) on other days. BTW, I bought a Step System platform online this week. (I really miss swimming.) I owe my current level of fitness to what I learned at Canyon Ranch. (I won a week-long scholarship to the Life Enhancement Center when I was at College of Public Health. It changed the health trajectory of my life. I would probably have diabetes now if I hadn't gone there in 2001.) #justdoit #pandemiclife #pandemicworkout #flowyoga #tucson @canyonranch (at Tucson, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD4KhvQhG2X/?igshid=1kl5z2y0c0vmp
