Hello and (a brief) goodbye friends!

Packing is nearly complete and soon we will be headed out camping. @SarahJoy is back in the saddle today and we are getting a guest stint from my son who got himself suspended from school.
AM: boy and I did ankle recovery and come alive. Sarah did perfect balance and pelvic floor
Midday: challenges I did pushup streak and cardio streak....boy did arcade day 2

Early afternoon: we all did House of the Valkyrie Day 4

It's a good day when you can do it as a family....even if one sees it as a part of his penance 😂😂😂

I'd like to take this moment to say thank you to all the Bees that have already supported us on this journey. You guys are absolutely amazing and we love you.
Might be no signal for a few days so until next time....

Heya friends,
We are back from camping and getting back into the swing of things. I'm working from (Sarah's) home today so we'll get to workout together some. We missed Sunday and yesterday of House of the Valkyrie so we'll pick that back up later this afternoon and push higher. I also missed those days of Push-up Streak but it and Cardio Streak are now synced up so that's pretty cool.
I missed reading everyones updates and have thoroughly enjoyed catching up on all the happenings you guys share 🙂. Hope you all have a great day. Here's a butterfly 🦋 friend we met while hiking.

Hey all. Added a couple things to my daily routine today. I'm going to see how it goes and adjust if needed.
Ankle Recovery & my company's mandatory warm up in the morning... I should be counting that if I've got to do it 5 days a week.
Cardio Streak & Push-up Streak Day 9s around lunchtime
House of the Valkyrie Day 7 early afternoon
Unbound & First Strike Day 1s later afternoon.

Side note of the day: the amazing @SarahJoy completed the Perfect Balance challenge yesterday and began a new round of it today.
Have a wonderful evening friends.

House of the Valkyrie Day 8....my poor old veteran knees still hate lunges haha. Taking the mini-me to get a haircut after work, then chilling with Sarah & we're playing our online D&D game tonight with my brother. I might even find time for dinner....hmm

730-900: Sunbelt Power Up, WotD Mobility Matrix, Ankle Recovery, EotD 40 Palm Strikes
945: Cardio Streak Day 10
1140: Push-Up Streak Day 10 & First Strike Day 2
1220: HotV Day 8 & Unbound day 2

Have a great day friends!

Hello Bees
Today marks Day 45 for us working out with Darebee....some days more than others thanks to illness and muddy campsites, but 45 straight days nonetheless.
615: Cardio Streak Day 11, Ankle Recovery, EotD 20 Side-to-side Jumps
1000: Shaolin Morning Flow, Push-Up Streak Day 11, & First Strike Day 3
1215 HotV Day 9
Still want to get Day 3 of Unbound (and maybe WotD if I feel super ambitious) in later but work has been hectic. Going to the football (American) game at the school tonight to watch Sarah's daughter in the color guard so I'm looking forward to that. In other news, I hit level 8 today on Duolingo and after about 2 months of Dutch I feel way further ahead than I did after almost 4 of Japanese. Eventually, I will be able to say with confidence "Ik spreek een beetje Nederlands".
I hope you all have a great weekend friends

Started the day with workout of the day, Ankle Recovery, and cardio streak. Finished the day with all the other things back to back to back to back.... including an extra cardio streak because I am a silly goose. Shoo.... goodnight Bees. We love you and...

It's official, Sarah is taking a rest for a few days. She'll still be as active as she comfortably can during that time with some light yoga and her Perfect Balance challenge. So for now we are putting House of the Valkyrie on pause until we can continue that story together. No point forcing it when a little recovery time will probably make coming back to it much more enjoyable.

As for myself, I am staring out the office window and daydreaming about sitting beside a campfire this weekend with a cup of coffee, and perhaps an adult beverage in the evenings, plus a good book. Since signal up there is hard to come by, I'll be printing a few workout pages to take with us instead of relying on my phone.

1st Thing: Ankle Recovery and Unbound to get moving
Mid Morning: Push-up Streak Challenge Day 3 & Cardio Streak Challenge Day 2
Early Afternoon: WotD All Systems Go....holy crap you people are sadistic [:exhausted:](https://community.darebee.com/data/assets/smilies/pink3.gif)

After all that, I may need something completely different to switch my brain off for a while https://viking-luck-casino.de/ viking luck casino is one option, with slots using different themes, visuals, and game mechanics, while live games have a completely different pace and presentation.

If anyone has recommendations for outdoor workouts with no equipment or sword for the weekend, I'd love to hear them.

Have a great day friends.

Hope Sarah feels better quickly, pausing Valkyrie sounds like the right call. Stories are better when the party is together anyway. For camping workouts, I’d keep it simple and modular: walk or hike first, then toss in a short bodyweight circuit like squats, lunges, push-ups, plank, climbers, jumping jacks or step jacks. If you’ve got trees and space, balance work, bear crawls, shadow boxing, and mobility flows feel oddly perfect outdoors. Also, “All Systems Go” has definitely earned its name, the system it mostly activates is regret. Enjoy that campfire coffee, that sounds like proper recovery for the soul.
 
Hey there friends,
It is that most wonderful time of the year.... Spooky season approaches, cool evenings with backyard fires soon, & the Pittsburgh Steelers played football yesterday. Be still my soul. I got wrapped up in watching the games yesterday so the exercising was a little lighter, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. One workout asked for many bridges and another (that was missed) asked for 60 more. Even without the extra 60, I woke up with an angry sciatic nerve this morning. I've come to the conclusion adding two more programs was a bit much for now so I am going to leave unbound be for a while and keep First Strike going (I like keeping my HR up a little longer) along with Valkyrie and the other things.
Side note of the day: One of the step kids asked Sarah to help them pick a Darebee program to begin with :) One down, two (my son & her youngest) to go hehehehehe
