Got to keep moving

Upon arrival, the group independently decided to do an exercise video due to the brutal heat. I didn't need any convincing!

Out went the sofa, tables and chairs in the room so the four of us would have plenty of space to move. The constant talking, laughter and convincing the one lone male it was OK to swing his hips made it a fun night.

Once the video moves became too difficult, each of us took turns leading the group in simple steps with the only rule to "KEEP MOVING!" Hopping, sit-ups, running in a circle (and getting dizzy), jumping jacks, etc., were all being done with plenty of laughter.

After 45 minutes we went outside to shoot a few hoops and play bean bag toss. That shower felt great after the hour exercise!

Next week, we hope for cooler weather as we walk and then treat ourselves to ice cream!

Walking the lake

It felt like a spring night tonight walking with no humidity and a cooler temp!

Our trek tonight took us around the lake in the West Park neighborhood where the path winds "like a snake" according to the group. Around the lake, we had to play hopscotch over the geese poop! There was a ton of it with the hypothesis made that it was green due to their diet being grass! Amazing what comes up in our conversations!

Hopefully this great weather will hold for next week!
