Day 7 done. ✨✨✨

I enjoyed that very much. With some things I noticed I'm not so flexible yet, with other things I noticed: "wow I can do that now". Which was pretty cool. And with the flexible thing, luckily that exercise could be adjusted a bit to make it work for my body. 🙏

Jenny Ford thanks Jenny.

Jill O awesome, you're welcome. You can use them for many exercises, to make the ground a bit higher so of speak (during lunges or standing in a V like position with your front knee bend, don't know the yoga name), for balance, you can even sit on them while meditating when sitting in a cross-legged position (often this is less strain on my lower back).  Let me know how you like them.

Day 6 done. ✨✨✨

The September challenge is also a great introduction to some of the other programs you offer Jenny.

Jenny Ford when lunging, the leg/knee that bends, is it OK if that knee reaches beyond the toes of that same leg? Or do I need to adjust my lunge so that doesn't happen. 

Yeah Dianna Wyciskala ! Go you!!! 💯

If I choose the exercise sessions I want to follow then yes. But I don't plan them or use a certain pattern. I have weeks that I work out daily and I have weeks that every now and then I have (a) rest day(s). 

I do have to say, I don't go out much so the exercise a lot of people get by going through their day either by foot or bicycle (work, picking up the kids, walking the dog, and so on) I don't have. So I am very motivated to try to move daily. 

With this September program, I will go where the challenge takes me. I just looked ahead in the calendar and I don't see rest days. So this month, probably not unless my body says different. 

Day 5 done. ✨✨✨

I came across your step routine years ago but I tried it maybe one or twice back then. Now I'm more committed to develop a step routine. Although I started with the walking series a couple of months ago, I'm sure I will progress to stepping (I already did a couple of ones). That was always my plan. Only slow and steady wins the race so I take my time. As I am getting more and more in shape, I can do more advanced routine's. 

Edit: what a lovely dog. I enjoyed watching her on the screen. 💗

She is already flexible so she can take a nap. 💗

I struggle with the same thing, to get my legs shuffled forward between my arms. But today I used my blocks. My arms (edit: I means my hands) where on the blocks which made it easier for me to shuffle my leg forward. 

Done 4 done! ✨✨✨

I felt resistant in doing this one because of the time it last (47 minutes, which is not even that long for a yoga session), my mindset is still struggling with sessions over 30-35 minutes, and also because it's confronting for with some current limitations I have which I find challenging to face.

But one moment I'm just 18 minutes in, the next moment we're going into shavasana. Wow, time went by fast. Which I consider to be a good thing, I'm into the yoga and not looking at the clock. 🙏

I always like the balance exercises in yoga, my balance is improved tremendously since I start working out with Jenny. When I need to find more balance, I make myself long and fix my gaze to one point. That often helps me extend the balanced pose.

When laying on my belly and pulling my upper body up a bit, I make sure I use my abs so I don't strain my back. A couple of years ago I had yoga classes for a while. This lesson, about using the abs, helped me a lot back then.

Haha, downward facing dog. She is adorable. 💗
