What's It All About?

Follow me, or better yet join me as I journey into my sixties... enjoying my grandchildren... trying to stay healthy and fit... maybe some traveling and whatever else tickles my fancy.

Legs & Lessons

I did my 30 minute walk today, we had to be careful because the temperature dropped to below freezing and all the melted snow turned to ice. But it was in patches and not all over, so we could still put in a good pace.

As for Leg Training Day, I muddled through the Lunges 4 X 12 (4 sets of 12 Reps), Squats 4 X12, Straight-Legged Dead-Lifts 3 X 8, Good Mornings 3 X12 and Calf raises 3 X 20, 20, 15 (1st & second sets 20 Reps and the 3rd set 15 Reps)
For those that aren't familiar with the "Good Mornings" below is a graphic... it's just bending at the waist with a weight across your shoulders... It's actually a Lower Back exercise, but if you use lighter weights and really stretch it, you're doing wonders for your Hamstrings and Glutes also.

And I also did 3 German Lessons today, I try to do 20 to 30 minutes of German every day. But a lesson could be anywhere from 5 to 40 minutes, depending on the type of lesson (Grammar, Pronounciation, etc.) or on how fast I click on the right answer. So if they are shorter I'll do 2, 3 or even 4 of them in one sitting. So I really should just write the time it took, rather than the number of lessons.
And that was my day today.
