Deliver or Neglect

[digitS']

I've just covered a mile here in the house! Sixty laps of 88 feet each = 5,280! Hey. I was so pleased to learn that I had that 88' "track!"

December, 2015 on TEG .

I didn't bother with the  mile for long because I can cover more than that, indoors, in 30 minutes – even with all the turns and arm waving. Still .

I read the other day that healthcare professionals consider sitting for more than 8 hours/ day as injurious to health. I guess that might be "in total."

Do you have plans for staying in shape for the off-season?

BTW. I do fairly well with daily 30 minutes walking and arm waving. Sunday, I missed because of afternoon company.  Then i missed yesterday because of needing to go in for one of those yearly jabs and waiting for an ordered home delivery and trying to understand why it was 1 item out of 6 that showed up. Anyway, they didn't neglect the olde guy and the other parts, shipped separately.

Deliver Neglect. Derelict .... Did you know that derelict and deliver have the same word origins? The final parts reflect the Latin word for "leave," if you leave me a little latitude for definitions. One might think that neglect would have a similar origin but I checked. Negative, it's more close to select . So, we do get to choose .

I feel uncomfortable sitting in a chair for a long time. The most I can do is 30 minutes to an hour before I have to get up and move around. As far as the off-season---I have two kids. :3 There is no off season! Soccer is just around the corner, there's a whole house to be cleaned, taken apart, dusted, reconstructed. Just got done residing the whole outside of the house, and just eyeballing it, the bathroom could use a touch up too.

There's always something to do. You just have to look for it!

My 30 minutes of exercise today was an hour of pruning roses .

Not boring, because I had to pay attention not to hurt myself .

Indoor environment exercising is boring. If you want to have some music to git ya goin'. Here is some from Jeff Beck that I started out with yesterday:

Beware of the thorns (as one who knows from my many past tangles with blackberry brambles). Nice tune!

A chilly, chilly day – altho, the sun came out this afternoon for just a few minutes.

I was busy during those few minutes so I walked 30 minutes later, indoors.

Let me tell you how I lift my pulse above 100 doing it. There are lots of turns in that "indoor mile" so I am only walking about 3 miles an hour, at most. That means, it's really more than a mile in 30 minutes but slloooww and I can't speed up safely.

This gentle stroll needs more effort. Therefore, every 4 steps, I do one of 2 things, make a rowing movement with my arms or lift my arms straight above my head - reaching. The movements are arm exercises that are helpful for the shoulders. That reach is somewhat difficult, the rowing is easier but I try not to be casual about either.

And now, a snide cartoon that seeing this afternoon, prompted me to post on this thread again .

I could have put this on @Marie2020 ’s thread. It isn’t quite how I weigh up my feelings about the day but it’s good exercise .

Now if I can just get off these 4 wheels and asphalt and enjoy some different kind of movement!
