I just had a personal training consult. It's spendy, but I can't go right from physical therapy into regular gym use. I need a bridge. Hopefully, this will only be for a few months and then I can switch to classes.

Consult went well. The movements we did felt really like what my body needs to be doing. After, I started walking home, thinking I'd switch to a bus or Lyft closer. I wound up walking the 3 miles home and also stopping off to do errands along the way. I am very tired now.

I wound up going through the local parks and recreation district, and I had much the same experience. It was really helpful and a worthy investment. And, something I can learn to do at home.

Survived my first Zumba class tonight. *faceplant*

Congrats on surviving Zumba!

Good luck, although it sounds like a good start. And go you for walking 3 miles, even if it made you tired. I need to get out more.

Hopefully. I've had a lot of false starts towards getting back into shape, been bounces to physical therapy, and had life stuff kick progress to the curb. Hopefully, this place works out and I go there for a while. I like it.

That sometimes happen to me, too, especially when the weather is nice. I just start walking with the dog and we wound up somewhere. Our longest walk was almost three hours and nearly 10km and yeah, we both were pretty tired after that. But it was so nice to just ask the dog, "How about that path?" and her enthusiastically going on.

And thumbs up for the consult gone well.

I spend a lot of time walking the city. I'm working on a project to walk all of it. I'm surprised I was up for it after a work out and testing my cardio, though.

Wandering is fun, but right now I am trying be methodical so I don't miss bits :) If I wander there are a few intersections I wind up at a lot. It's like the city has currents somehow that tend to draw people towards places like that one odd intersection in Richmond.
