Just got back from a Ruckmarch. Only my 2nd exercise for the week so I am badly behind.
Had the sniffles a bit yesterday so didnt do a thing.

Even so these ruckmarches I feel are a perfect prepper workout.

Hope your better today Bluez.

MoBook,whats your goal and are including balance exercise ?

 

[MoBookworm1957]

MoBook,whats your goal and are including balance exercise ?

My goal weight is 135 pounds.
Still need to lose last 39 pounds to hit goal weight.
Still need to tone up, build more muscle.
Size 8-10 top and bottom.
Which I have hit in some clothes just not all consistently.
Balance to be able to walk across the room without breaking a foot would be nice.
I am attempting ballet moves,yoga, Tai Chi for balance exercises.
Hope to eventually get good enough shape to resume kick boxing, martial arts competition,(for seniors), belly dancing.
