In between relaxing and eating, if we did not go for a run or walk outside, we went into the gym that they had at the resort. Some pretty nice equipment, and it helped keep the interest by getting to use some different things. Besides, it was also cool in there. I would take the heat and humidity outside anyday versus the continued weather we keep having here…
…Sarah working out on the ellipitical machine. We don’t get to use one of these much back at home. We have a treadmill and bikes, but not this, so it made for some nice changes…

There were lots of other activities to do while we were on vacation in Mexico. Here is a lifesize chess board, where you had to keep moving around the board to figure out your next move, and how you wanted to proceed. Following this….
…it was then off to the ping pong table. Following this, it was then off to the canopy again for another nap, listening to the ocean, and relaxing. I will show you some views of this as well coming up as I wrap up the Mexican adventure over the next few days.

Last weekend at Terry Peak in the Black Hills. Temp in the upper 20’s. Made for some great pictures as well. I just had with me my point and shoot camera in case I wiped out. I will show some scenery pictures over the next few days from the view on top of the mountain. Pretty impressive. Here you see two shots of Sarah coming down the hill. No big spills for her either. It was a lot of fun, but you realize how much you use for thighs for control on the skis. Legs were wiped after 3 hours of this.

You want to do strength exercises for all of your major muscle groups at least twice a week, but no more than 3 days a week. You want to allow adequate recovery time for your muscles. Don’t do strength exercises of the same muscle group on any 2 days in a row. Here I am doing a workout involving my legs. Remember, to start out SLOW! Don’t hold your breath or strain while lifting. Breathe out as you lift or push, and breathe in as you relax. A few more posts in regards to strength training, and then I will spend a little time talking about Diabetes and Pre-diabetes, as this was a question brought up by a patient. Stay tuned!
