Fitness Fellowship 2025: Check-in Nineteen

This past weekend, we finally got two full days of perfect gardening weather (dry and not too hot), so naturally, I'm partially crippled this morning. T. and I have an annual joke about how I inevitably "overdo" it when the weather finally turns but am somehow also surprised to find myself in agony. I'm pleased to report that this year, the pain is manageable and not nearly as pervasive as it has been in past years, and I attribute the relative reduction of post-garden-work pain to both yoga (which makes me more flexible and stronger) and weight-lifting (which also increases my strength). My neck and the tops of my shoulders are a bit stiff, but I am otherwise doing pretty well today.

I enjoy getting exercise that is purposeful, i.e. gardening, and am pleased that I am able to get out into the gardens once more. Do you have a regular activity that also gives you exercise (i.e. walking to and from work, taking a stroll on a work break, etc.)? It feels somehow like cheating to get fit AND achieve something else at the same time, doesn't it?

Anyway, as usual, please share how your week has been, fitness-wise and/or otherwise. :-)
