@Fremen @graoumia @Louve Rose @Mamatigerj @Mr.Javo Thanks for congrats - nice to have you here.

:v: activity: cycling 16 km. Falling on my left foot. Now aching left knee - hard to do lunges and situps again. :verysadkitty:
:v: chores: put back my dishes after rebuilding the furniture. Cooking
:v: nutrition
:v: workouts: After my fall: jump rope 10 min day. With music and a heavy rope I figured it out and stamina is no problem. Recomp 26 was an EMOM day. I had to cut back situps to 6 or 7 and do it slowly. Also did less burpies. Express tone would have a leg day on 26th. I did 27th today. Lets see, when leg day would be possible again.
 
:x: activity only 4,2k. Moved the content from one room out and spread in the house. From the other room to the emptied room. A bit of painting. I felt tired by the evening. Possibly I could go on a small extra walk.
:v: workouts: jumprope 1000 jumps day 30. :completed: . Discovered new playlist for jump ropes. To be continued. I liked it. recomp day 30, so
:completed:, express tone 29. To complete tomorrow.
:v: meditation 4 min (34)

I loved the jum rope challenge. I would go on as warm up. 1000 jumps were way to much - I needed 19 min. My speed is getting up, also my max. continued jumps. Repeating the same challenge could be too easy. I often switched to gallop. Sometimes on both feet. Maybe I would try to stay on jog step more.
Next programm will be Soma
 
@Mamatigerj @Fremen @graoumia @Louve Rose Thanks for reading and gratulations! I appreciate it very much.

:v: activity 8k steps
:v: workouts: express tone 30. It was a hard day working a lot and my body felt a bit like jelly. So I took it easy.
:v: meditation

We bought some used bookshelves for DH‘s office. The furniture is ready. Some of the books and binders are already on them. But hell, he has too much, the shelf in the living room where he put it meanwhile is still as full as before. I hoped he would toss more. But the shelves are nice and were cheap.
Lot to do next week before the last exams and my vacation starts.

As far as i know, you just have to do combat moves and log them in the forum. @Mamatigerj you are there since a long time, anything to add?

The thread was started by Kanary*, who was herself suffering from cancer. Sadly, she passed away two years ago, and the thread continues for anyone who needs it or as support. The only thing you have to do are fight moves: kicks, punches, ...

*There is a workout in her memory
