Yay! January!!. Happy New Year to all!
Today I biked about 10 miles, and walked an hour. Anyone know any good yoga books/dvds that teach you proper breathing techniques and is overall good for beginners?Genesis 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind,
and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind:
and God saw that it was good."The most sublime truth of all has never been stated or written or sung,
not because it is far away and can’t be reached but because it is so intimately close,
closer than anything that can be spoken." - Gangaji

Got a rebounder for Christmas. Just tried it out today. It's a lot harder than it looks.
Also this morning, did 25 push-ups and took the dog for a 2 mile walk, but she started getting tired after a mile and a half.
Yesterday morning, walked a mile. Yesterday evening walked 1½ miles, jogged ¾ mile.I'd rather eat vegan and look like a tree than eat cow and look like a pig.

When so many people just hop into a car and head to a fast food restaurant, it's interesting you went for a 2 mile walk. Did you drink a smoothie or something for lunch?

Gianni, yes I had a smoothie, with my quinoa and black beans. My job allows me time to conduct physical training, because it pays to be in shape. It keeps us sharp, which is very important, zero error and mistakes.
Today's workout I walked 2.5 mi during lunch, at home I warmed up shoulder stretch, mobility WOD, 10 min rebounding
Fran
Three rounds, 21-15- and 9 reps, for time of:
45 pound Thruster
Pull-ups
Time 8:38 (prior to my surgery my time was 8:51)
Demo video: see if you recognize some of the participants (ADMIN NOTE: ADULT LANGUAGE WITHIN VIDEO) http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/C...er_Fran_SD.mov
Cool down/active recovery 10 min of rebounding GET SOME!Last edited by Aleesha Sattva; 01-04-2013 at 09:56 PM. Reason: adding adult language warning to video

Fran is tough, the hardest part is the middle 15 reps. They suck the life out of you. Today I rebounded for 30 min, the calm before the storm. Get some

Wow, great starts to the New Year, Choose2BWell, BlackKat, and Gianni!
Started tapering a bit this past week, so I ran: 3 miles Tuesday, 7 miles Thursday, 9 miles Saturday, and 2 miles Sunday. Less than one week to go!

If only my lunch breaks were longer (I only get 30 minutes) I would SOOOOO take advantage of this. Originally Posted by Choose2BWell

This morning for the first time in a few days I feel like I have a decent amount of energy. I will bike tonight, as well as walk.
