☀️ This morning I spent a very nice 45 min in a sun-lit corner of my living-room doing aerobics (for beginners) with Laura (correction: Leigh).

💪 By now I know Leigh from her Wake-Up Session, and I’d say this is a little, but manageable step up from that.
🦵After a warm-up with a lot of walking, knee bending and arm lifting, she works us through a routine which can be scaled to 3 different fitness levels, the easiest being low-impact. So just right for me!
🚣🏼♂️🧗🏿♂️🚴♀️🏸 Again my arm-leg coordination is at times all over the place, which feels quite embarrassing as it looks so simple. But even in my fitter days, I have to admit that my exercise was solely through a lot of cycling and tennis, with a bit kayaking and climbing thrown in. (Yes, that was me in my 20s, sigh).
🎹💃🏽🕺🏼🎺 And I never danced either, being in a band, hiding behind an instrument rather than being on the dance floor. I might have seen myself as one of the cool 😎 kids, but my coordination was and still is zero.
🍇 So workout routines with moving legs to certain arm movements feel totally new to me. But willing to learn, and so by the end I was waving my arms - somewhat coordinated - with the grapevine movement of the legs! Yup, an official name, I learned!
😓 All good fun and I was sweaty by the end of it, but could adjust the movements to my level of ability!
👍🏽 Another thumbs up for me, although not quite as fun as the belly dancing or the wake-up routine.
Week 2 of the Plankety Plankethon... 1 minute plank ✔️
Off to a good start - long may it continue!
