We had to run an errand early in the morning, and I was enervated. I did do Ashley Lopez's 30 minute “Cute Cardio Combination A” after lunch. The warmup and cooldown were ten minutes each, which was longer than in Kamrah's 30 minute cardio bellydance classes. I used to be impatient about warmups, but as I've grown older my joints appreciate them. This was one of the first videos I worked with when Datura Online first appeared. The arm exercises in the warmup felt harder this time, but I was better able to follow the fancy footwork in the dance combination.
My copy of Meg Casebolt's “Social Slowdown” arrived as an early Christmas gift from my sister. From the opening chapters it looks clearly written and full of knowledgable tips.
I practiced the C major scale on harmonica for five minutes - it wasn't as clear today as I would have liked it to be. I practiced threes on finger cymbals for five minutes, this time adding hip infinity loops and hip drops to the hip circles and traveling moves. I practiced maqsoum on riq for five minutes, for the first time ever trying to do a little of dance movement at the same time.
I'm pleased with myself that I completed Day 3 of EPIC Heat, which makes for three days of intense weightlifting in a row so far. I'd checked the description and worried that the squats and lunges would be gruesome, but I got through by modifying extensively - no elevated lunges, no jumping movements, among other things. I find that pushing my hips back during the squats really helps. I slowed down the pace where I wanted to.
