Seventeen minutes of stretches in bed. Fifteen minutes of the beginner balance workout from the Harvard Medical special report, "Better Balance." Twenty-seven minutes of leg exercises on the mat with 1 1/2 pound ankle weights, two sets of 10 reps: hip abductions, leg raises, etc., 27 minutes of leg exercises with a chair and ankle weights, lunges, leg lifts, toes rises, hip abductions, etc. Clean-up exercises: 29 minutes of toe raises on a yoga block, gas pedals with resistance band, calf stretches with the foot rocker, chair stand-ups, three wall slides (planks for your legs) of 60 seconds each.
Forty-five minutes of the whole body dumbbell conditioning program. I used the ThunderBell doing reverse crunches this evening. As I suspected, a lot easier to do reverse crunches with a handle than with an eight-pound dumbbell, plus an extra two pounds. If it saves me from a dropping a dumbbell on my face and breaking my nose or a tooth, that's worth the price right there.
After my fall today, I switched from sandals to sneakers with an orthotic insert though they're not convenient as for slipping on and off when using the exercise mat. wholefood nut says sandals aren't that stable. Removed the blanket underneath the exercise mat because it has a tendency to bunch up and make the mat uneven, which leads to tripping. I think it's going to Freecycle after I wash it and air it out.
