Today I did a lot of standing poses, including tree pose, Warrior 1 and 2, Mountain Pose and Triangle Pose. In a bit I'm going to get off this thing and then get on the Gazelle for some gliding - sort of the same movement of cross-country skiing. It's a great, gentle workout that lubricates the knees and hip joints fabulously. When I was researching exercise equipment, this one received the highest ratings, especially from those recovering from knee and hip surgeries.
Ours is in our rec room, conveniently positioned in front of the telly:
I also took some adorable pictures of the kitties lately. Here's Gabby, enjoying some sprawling time cleaning her face on our new hardwood laminate flooring in our living room. For those of you who haven't met Gabs, she is a very talkative 5 year old Maine Coon mix (hence the huge plumy tail and the big tufts of gold/black hair):
Strangely, one of Emma's favorite places in the world lately has been on the edge of the tub between the shower curtain and the liner. She loves to hide out there while I'm taking a shower and bats at the droplets on the liner from her little dry hideout!
For those of you who haven't met Emma yet, she's part Persian, which is why she has that bug-eyed "I just did the 100 yard dash in a 90 yard gym" squashed face look. :) I love how her little pink lip juts out from her underbite when she looks up at me like this.
That's all for now - have to go get stuff done! More later, of course...

Hey Jenn! Thanks for your comment; I really do love the Gazelle. There are hydrolics that you can change to alter the resistance, which is great (I felt like my legs were swinging out of control before I adjusted it).
I really like it. It feels really good on the joints (hips and knees). We bought it last year around October, I think; it was really reasonably priced too. It's the Gazelle Power Plus; check it out on froogle.com and you can probably order it online. Or if there's a big sporting goods store near you you can call them and ask them if you're interested. :)
:) Hope you're having a great week so far too!
