Trying Out the Peloton App

Trying Out the Peloton App

I got a free 30 day subscription so I'm trying out the Peloton app. I don't have the Peloton bike or treadmill but my daughter-in-law suggested that I try out the exercise classes on the Peloton app or website.  The classes are led by instructors and include a wide variety. I've been trying out different ways of getting a workout so I liked the idea of trying the Peloton classes. Categories There are different categories for each class: Yoga Strength Stretching Meditation Cardio Cycling Outdoor (audio only obviously) Running Walking Tread Bootcamp Bike Bootcamp So far I have tried classes in the yoga, strength, and stretching categories.  Once you're in the different categories, the classes are then grouped by body parts such as core, quads, hamstrings, arms, etc. I...

Spicing Up Bland Vegetable Soup

Spicing Up My Bland Vegetable Soup

I made a pot of vegetable soup the other day using my Instant Pot. My son and daughter-in-law were coming to visit and I wanted to have soup since it was one of the first cooler days of fall. I was rushed and just sort of threw the soup together. It wasn't bad but it was rather bland. It definitely needed some spicing up. Here's how I made the soup.

I decided it didn't really matter.  The Instant Pot was full, almost overly so. I cooked the soup and served it up right away when my guests...

Habits Help Me Stay Fit

While this past year has not been one with a lot of big activity for me, some of the routines and habits I have put in place are really helping me to stay fit. I noticed that I automatically do some things, mostly out of habit, but they are helpful, healthy routines that I thought I'd share. The things that I learned - especially about habits - have really helped me to stay more fit and active than I would have. Over the past year+ (during the Covid pandemic), I haven't had the type of big goals like I did set a few years back. However I've still been able to keep up some exercise. While I'm not running any races right now, I still try to continue...
