Regular moderate exercise log

My exercise today was a gorgeous walk around the Lost Gardens of Heligan, I should have taken some photos. Just short of 5 miles but health app says 23 floors climbed - there were some very steep hills.
What a fabulous sight @Goonergal I don’t think I’d want to be any closer to those antlers.

 

Posing already as I’ll probably forget later.
I’ve just done the live Joe Wicks Children in Need Hiit class. I can’t believe he’s been exercising for 24hr I struggled with the 20 mins!
I also have another slot for Heligan at 11:30 so will take Dennis for a nice hilly woodland walk then.

 

Our James River is in magnificent dangerous flood today, which means I'll only get a pic of it if it floods the wetlands we live near as it did in 1985, as all area streets will be closed off and/or underwater. A whole park was under 6+ feet of water in 85. I could see water from the bottom of my (then) street, and the actual banks of the river were a quarter mile into the wetlands! It stank down there for a long time lol Where is a video drone when I need it!?

 

edit to add pic


Whaddya know-- I didn't think I'd be able to get this close! It's been much higher but this is beautiful anyway. And... there was a rescue effort going on around there. Some clown thinking they're bigger than the river....

 

Great pictures. Reminds me there still a world out there.
The view from my bedroom window is rather limited but as I did a zoom exercise class today I did notice more of the trees are losing their leaves so even the colour is going

 

@Goonergal I love your photos, didn’t realise how much I miss the bright lights.
Not done much walking the last couple of days as the weather has been so horrible - just enough for Dennis. He hates the rain so apart from toilet breaks we tend to play indoors. My PT session was cancelled this morning due to the weather, but luckily it had cleared up this aft for dog agility class
I’ve done a couple of Hiit workouts. 25 seconds work, 25 secs break 5 exercises and 5 rounds of each. Gradually getting better.

 

Congrats to everybody! I did a barre class Monday, had a recording gig Tuesday that taught me more about both audio and video recording than I'd ever known! So Tue my exercise was standing up stock still pretending to play along with our previous audio work, and, remaining in place waiting for cameras to shift around. Not much. I cancelled my barre class today for lack of proper sleep

 

Back in the routine of online classes. Did also get our for a walk today as its too easy just to be indoors. Very wet underfoot though and quite muddy even up on the chalk hills. I almost envy @Goonergal her city pavements

 

I'd think chalk would make worse mud than red clay (what I'm used to)!! Or does the soil drain well?

 

@Goonergal I just put "walk Thames at low tide" on my bucket list! Our James is tidal to where I live, but I live upstream of "the Falls of the James" so I don't ever see the tide.

 

This was part of our walk today. Was really cold and wet. Although there were lots of gold and red leaves on the ground, you can see how bare the trees are getting

 

@MrsA2 what a gorgeous view! We are about there with the maples- all leaves off. Our types of oak trees tend to hold their leaves all brown and tan on the tree until January when I guess the new growth pushes them off.
No exercise today. Tomorrow I have to get up at 0600 to go babysit. I want to sleep well!

 

No ‘proper’ exercise yesterday but I did plant a load of tulip bulbs which felt like the equivalent of a thousand squats afterwards.
I have been trying to do squats for the length of time it takes me to clean my teeth each time
That’s a lovely autumnal scene @MrsA2 I can almost smell the crisp fresh air.
