Hi Gemini -
I'm sorry about your family situation. That is hard. I would say to definitely NOT do anything that hurts even if you feel you are losing out on an element of fitness (Balance). There has got to be another way for you to work on your balance w/out hurting yourself. Try some You Tube videos for balance - Jessica Valent, Lively Ladies, comes to mind as having some balance videos. You can also do daily things that will improve your balance - for instance, standing on one foot to wash dishes or brush your teeth will help! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx_JLaUxNwo&t=1667s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0kLu8_csmQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfJFjCRvz1U&t=1131s You mentioned Jane Adams - I believe she has a whole video dedicated to balance. And, w/ stuff like balance, I think doing a little bit 5-10 min every day is better than doing a whole lot once in awhile. Lori - thanks for sharing your workout regimen. It sounds right up my alley. Take care, Donna |

After much workout schedule tweaking, my current routine has been helpful to my poor body, especially when I wake up feeling 90 every day! Perimenopause is not for the faint of heart! I really have been the Goldilocks of workouts in the past few years... Edited to add that my week currently looks like this: Sun-- short Ellen (15 or 20 min) Mon-- Leslie 30 or 45 min Tues -- Tracie or Ellen 30 min (or 45/50 min sometimes) (depends on how I'm feeling that week if I opt for Tracie or Ellen) Wed-- CS/Ess 30 min or less Thurs-- Leslie 30 (or 45 min if it's not too "boosted") Friday -- Cathe Live (max 45 mins) Saturday -- CS/Ess 30 min or less, sometimes I sneak in an easy 30 min walk on the treadmill or outside if I have time I just try to fit it all in terms of cardio, strength, stretching/mobility and then repeat it kind of. Gives my muscles/joints time to recover but not overdoing anything one thing. |

I believe it was me who mentioned Curtis, but possibly yogapam has, also. ;-)
Here's one of the Curtis Adams threads.... http://forum.videofitness.com/showth...ghlight=curtis I use his workouts when I need something more gentle. Gemini2874, I hope you feel better!
