Was a ski/snowshoe host at Nakkertok this morning. Hoped to lead some new members around the trails but the few who showed up just wanted a map and to head out on their own. Gloria had a dozen in her ski group.
So I just did a loop on my own. Very mild weather, hardly needed a ski jacket.

Very slow ski at Nakkertok. Wanted to go longer but the ankle bothered me all the way around. Had to stop a few times to let it settle down.
So no cardio gain today, just a pleasant ski.

Putting up new markers on the SS trails at Nakkertok. Feet got really cold so we stopped a little short of our work plan and headed back to the workshop.
Which was locked as all the groomers had quit for the day.
Pretty stiff this evening.
Looking forward to a ski tomorrow as the conditions have improved a lot.

Short but intense spin at the club watching soccer.

Total lower body stretch, sit ups, and 2 minute plank.

Good spin watching the football at the gym.
Time to make a commitment - resolution? to a regime that will get me ready for all the planned hiking and biking in NZ in February.
Also have to get rid of the 5 pounds of turkey and rum balls.
So will try for a minimum of one hour a day of continuous exercise. Including a long session (2+ hours) of skiing, hiking, etc. Twice a week.

Good stretching session for the lower bits after the bike. Quads, hams, Adductors, calves, and back. One minute for each. Two minute plank before the back stretch. Could have held the plank longer but the back was too sore from previous day’s activities.
Machines for lats pulldowns, chest press, and chest flys. 3X15 reps.
