Ohh yeah, definitely been getting my exercise in this weekend.
Yesterday, I went by my mom's house and helped my mom, aunt, and uncle go through some stuff to put out on today's garage sale. Which involved a pretty good amount of heavy lifting. I actually strained my back a bit trying to lift a briefcase that was heavier than expected. But, that's where Tai Chi training came in because I almost immediately did a few back stretches from Tai Chi and took care of it before it got stiff and worse.
Then I came home and did 20-25 minutes of Tai Chi last night.
Today, I was back over at my mom's again helping a bit with the garage sale then putting items away (though I didn't do much there). The big exercise was helping my uncle put some of the shelves back together, which involved helping to hold up some of the shelves.
Then after coming home, my friends invited us to go ride bikes (YAY!!) and we went riding for a little bit. No idea how long we were actually out, but I'd say probably about 15, maybe 20 minutes. I do know by the time we got back, my legs were killing me and I could barely stand up. LOL! First time I've actually ridden a real bike (not the exercise bike) in several years, but that was fun!
