🧘🏼‍♂️🤾🏻‍♀️Getting Sweaty Again: The 3rd Circuit 🚴🏼‍♂️🏋🏼‍♀️

are there any safe core exercises for minor inguinal hernia?

I have a feeling I might have asked this
That sounds like a question for your PT or physician. Without any info on your ability or limits I'm guessing things like bridges, diaphragmatic breathing, pelvic tilts (autocorrect tried to change that to titties 😂) would be beneficial but I would definitely ask your provider because I'm no expert.

Fair.

I have a very minor hernia, it doesnt show or affect me at all. But they can't be cured only repaired and surgery isn't an option because it's not serious engouh. All I've been told is that core work is to be avoided, whih is a bummer. Unfortuantely doctors round here are not very good for some things

So maybe go to sports medicine specifically instead. That's my go to move since a doctor's first reaction is always don't ...but the sports med people are always like let's get you back out there

I would think they'd want your core muscles to be strong in order to support it but they are probably afraid of it getting bigger. I would get another opinion from a sports med doc or an osteopath... That's just me though. There are manual techniques that can help manage hernia like visceral manipulation but if it's not impeding your overall well-being that might be a bit much. 🤷
 
Ok everyone it's Monday!
What's your plan today to get moving and get sweaty? (Double entendre much...why of course says the english major/former ELA teacher) 😂

But for real!
I'll go first
Morning pushups
Walk a couple of miles with the dogs
.......work of course ....
Run ten in the afternoon
Back in time to cook dinner
PT this morning for an hour workout of ankle and legs. Learned hips are influential in ankle stability. I am officially out of the big stupid clunky boot and have a much smaller ankle brace. Walking is much closer to normal but still have along way to go.
take my dog on walks lately
Looking forward to doing this again. Think I’ll try this afternoon walking a couple blocks. Don’t think I’m ready for trails yet as uneven surfaces are fairly difficult still.

And the most exciting news is that I am back to climbing on 2 feet! It will be top rope only climbing until I reach 16 or 18 weeks from injury as I can’t risk any impact until bones are fully healed. My toes on the injured foot are still very weak and I can’t really use them, but I can use my right heel fairly effectively on a lot of holds. It probably looks ridiculous but it’s enabling be to climb much harder routes than not using it. Most importantly it’s been fun and I should continue to make progress.
 
Good morning, All☀️

I bought an Eros scale. It is the kind of scale where you step on it and it shows you more than just how much you weigh; it also shows bone mass, skeletal mass, protein, body water, visceral fat, body mass, fat-free body weight, subcutaneous fat, BMR, and your metabolic age.

Now, this sort of thing is a double edged sword. It is good info to have (also take it with a grain of salt because this is not a professional grade device). It gives a data point that I can use to track over time to get a general picture of any progress and help me to set some goals.

The downside is that sometimes I start to think too much about these things. I focus on the number and I don’t think that’s healthy if you overdo it.

Have you used a scale like this? Would this be something that you might consider?

I’ve used the In Body. It’s at my gym. I’ll get on it once every couple months. Seeing progress keeps me doing the work.

IMHO: such scales are only valuable for long-term trends.

We all know that bodyweight itself varies from day to day due to food, drink, bathroom history, etc., so the long-term trend is what’s informative.

The body composition numbers will be *wildly* more variable, since they are usually determined by electrical impedance measurements, which have much bigger uncertainty in both the underlying biophysics (hydration state, inflammation, etc) and the output numbers themselves (since the numbers are calculated based on tiny measurement differences).

I would wager that you would notice the differences in the mirror around the same time as the trend of the scale can be distinguished from the noise.

I will hope that it works out well for you, though! 👍

That would be waaaaaay to much information for ME personally. I only very very recently started using a fitness watch and even with that I have to make sure I limit the information otherwise I lose the joy.....if I lose the joy then what am I even doing at that point?

Oh I didn’t say that I KNEW what all those things meant! 🤣
 
Good morning and happy Serenity Sunday ☀️


I’m trying to remember … what month did we do that monthly calendar challenge last year? Was that in June?? Or was that two years ago?? Y’all my brain is a scary place these days. I can’t remember anything. I think it was June.

I’m going to see if I can create another calendar of activities for us/ maybe just me to complete and then if we want to, we can talk about things we liked or didn’t like about the challenges. The goals are to 1) be active 2) try something different 3) keep checking in here at least from time to time.

If you have some thoughts about things you would like to see on the challenge calendar, post them here or message me. I’ll create the first week today, post it, and then if I get some ideas that fit in with my vision of this calendar challenge, I will include them.

Last time we did this, for those of you who weren’t here, we had mystery guests who made up workouts, created journal entries, made workout playlists… we got really creative. So think about what you’d like to see and do, and let me know :)

I forget the other challenge months, I remember some wall sit challenges and things like that, but I do remember a month challenge in August of 2023, only because that's when I started running and that challenge helped me build my own calendar.

You know what? That’s right. And that made me feel so great that this activity was so helpful. I remember you telling me that now.

Thank you for reminding me of that. 🙂
 
Ok let’s see if this even works in here

Week 1 of the June Challenge
Monday: In honor of National Leave the Office Early Day, get out and take a nature walk.
Tuesday: take your bike for a spin- stationary or standard bike.
Wednesday: for National Hug Your Cat Day spend some time stretching (
or playing with your pussy)
Thursday: Make a smoothie! Recipe to come.
Friday: work those Abs!
Saturday: Sweaty Saturday - snap a pic and share it if you’d like to!
