Trouble Delivering on Exercise Intentions?

[digitS']

I continue with the 30 minutes of walking, gaining the Heart Association's recommended pulse rate for my age. Indoors, I cannot reach necessary speed because of all the turns so accompaning arm exercises are added. Those are a benefit in themselves.

The new hearing aids and the music directly into my ears make the minutes go by quickly . Pandora played a newer song by Mark Knopfler early with fitting lyrics for an olde guy and really encouraged keeping up the pace.

Immediately thereafter, an old tune by Bread gave me some gentle strolling music, rest and reflection.

Perhaps I paid a small price to ego when Carly Simon finished my 30 minutes with "You're so Vain."

Mark Knopfler's music is still fine and these accompanying images/paintings are lovely. I need to find our old MK's CDs somewhere in our vast collection and pull the songs to put on a USB drive to listen to in the car.

he has a lot of solo albums now and they are all worth a listen. i suspect i got @digitS' listening to him...

as far as exercise in the winter i'm really bad at doing anything inside for exercise, but we've had enough snow events this year so far that i'm getting 30-45 minutes every day or two of exercise and i'm glad for it, fresh air and sometimes even sunshine is out (which is not normal for us here).

I think you did so by sympathizing that I found out Alvin Lee had died Ten Years After he died.

How is this for putting the best together and making for a gentle workout song?

And no, I never heard it until today .

I had yesterday and the day before off from the indoor mile. Under the weather with a cold –– apparently . Feeling better today but decided to only walk the mile, without the arm exercises. It wouldn't have amounted to a cardio exercise without that extra effort. I thought it might be a mistake but, after 15 minutes, decided otherwise . Kept my eyes off the clock, continued ... & finished.

The phone was tuned to Amazon music for the first time in my exercises. "My Discover Mix, exclusively for you ..." I did not do any choosing but it was almost exactly what I have been listening to in Pandora. What!? How would Amazon know?

Here's one that Amazon missed .

Yes, you are more likely to recognize the cover done by Eric Clapton . It's all good.

I had a couple of busy days.

Yesterday, there was quite a bit of unloading and moving things into the house –– sufficient for 30 minutes of exercise for an olde guy. Finally, I am back to the full business of walking and arm exercises. It went just fine . Here's something that provided a light on the horizon, nearing the final minutes. And second, a song that brought back memories of an earlier time and a reward for the effort.

I follow several YouTubers, various topics, one woman buys unwanted horses from auctions, retrains/sells them. She kept an 18yo Arabian gelding that was owned by a trail riding stable--DD's laughed bc they Knew why an Arabian wouldn't work well there--she researched his remarkable Polish bloodlines and decided he should spend the rest of his life with her as a reliable trail riding horse. That was my Arabian, "Corporal," except hers is a grey, mine was Brown, grey in the mane and tail, and the exclamation point strip and snip which described him Exactly.
Another is the Art Restoration guy, another is a woman in Tennessee who has mastered many gardening principles and animal husbandry and freely admits that it took her 2 full years to train her livestock guard dogs.
ALL of them have the same thing in common--they ALL have commercials and sponsors.
I love commercials. These allow these people to enjoy their hobbies/businesses which are ALL expensive.
I have always enjoyed well made commercials, and I often get to watch them while I wait for "Skip" (in so many seconds.)
