Hermione -- don't worry about it. Take care of yourself!!! :-)

I've just arrived in Toronto and the hotel I'm staying in has a great gym -- so while it's too late to work out now (they're closed - 10:30PM), looks like I will get some exercise after all over the next few days.

04/25 - All the Right Moves = 65 minutes
04/26 - Dance Works = 62 minutes

ATRM is another tape I've had for a couple years (at least) but hadn't gotten around to more than previewing it. It's what I call a "blended" tape - uses moves from yoga, pilates, and ballet/dance - my favorite type of workout.

I really wasn't enjoying the beginning section of this tape but the abs and lower body floor work at the end were great. I plan to do this workout again but don't think I'll keep it in my Sunday yoga slot. This was more power yoga while I prefer the breath work and mind-body emphasis of hatha yoga.

I had a conversation with another customer in the exercise video area of Barnes & Noble. It was nice to compare opinions of different workouts with someone! I was only there because I had a bonus coupon that was expiring. Ended up getting a meditation DVD.

hi guys, i just wanted to pop in. i took the day off from work and i went to the doctor's this morning about my back. they took x-rays and discovered that i have arthritis in my lower back! it's mild, but still a shocker to me as i just turned 35 which seems so young to have that problem.

the doctor told me that it is not uncommon for arthritis to develop after an injury like the one i had 5 years ago that started all this back problem mess. anyway, she wants me to take a prescription pain killer for awhile and go to a physical therapist.

she said i can resume light impact exercising like walking, and i can do upper body work as well, but to avoid high impact activities.

i hope this afternoon to make it to the gym and do a light workout on the treadmill. i guess i should avoid the hill workout, which is a bummer as i love that.

also, again, i apologize for not doing a chart recently. i have the stuff at home with me and will do a chart for the last 2 weeks sometime this afternoon also.

thanks for keeping this going!

Oh gosh, Hermione - sorry to read about your back problems. My mom has arthritis and I've done some research on exercises that would be appropriate for her. She really enjoys trail walking but I occasionally nag her to try other activities, such as pilates (which not only builds strength but improves range-of-motion) and workout videos specifically for people with arthritis. But she just ignores me, lol.

Hermi, sorry to read about your arthritis, too. Now that you have the diagnosis and treatment plan, things should get better for you, right?

Regarding my post at 3:18, I meant to say "4/30 - 60 minutes In Pilates Mat class," not 4/20
