Do you find the golf enough? I too have been golfing but the course i play is very flat. Planning to return to yoga.I am still playing golf everyday. Walking 9 holes during the week and riding the cart for 18 holes on weekends. Water aerobics starts next week, twice a week until Sept. then I will switch to pilates reformer until ski season begins in November.
That alone sounds like a lot of workust by cutting out sugar and flour

Couscous or quinoa, sautéd onion and garlic, artichoke hearts and beans (Black, cannelloni, red or chick peas) are my go to. Yes only processed flour. And as far as sugar, artificial sweeteners, honey, agave etc all are forbidden.Love couscous, always in my pantry as a quick fix any season. That and cans of black beans and chick peas. Take a can of black beans, slice an avocado, some cherry tomatoes and frozen corn and that’s a summer dinner around here. But couscous is semolina- is only processed flour out? I also did well on WW at one point — a few plans ago. Not so much since then.

I also much prefer pilates over yoga.I tried yoga too but I tend to get bored and fall asleep zzzz. I enjoy pilates more because it seems more “physical”. I Zumba and Barre too if I can fit them in my schedule.

What do you do for balance? Or does Barre cover that aspect of ski fitness? For me, I find that if I do something related to 1-leg balance every day, then it's much more effective in the long run. Doesn't need to be for very long. Even a few minutes standing on one leg a couple times a day makes a difference.
I have started a rowing class. I have never gotten into spin classes, every time I tried that it seemed like the most boring thing on the planet, and although rowing is similar, a bunch of people, each on their own rowing machine increasing and decreasing speed by the beat of music, for some reason this does not seem boring at all. It is definitely a competition with myself to increase total number of meters rowed each time I do it. It is a total body workout. I noticed a marked improvement in stamina and strength after just two weeks. Midway during class we are off the machine and doing weight work, then back on the rower.

Looks like there are Barre routines that are good for hamstrings too. Don't look too much different than the usual exercises, but I can see why Barre can be appealing. I did a fair amount of ballet before middle school so it seems pretty familiar.Barre definitely helps with balance and strengthens calves and quads.
I signed up for sculling this summer. I like it a lot, lots of leg work. We practice on the Potomac river, with view of National Monument and Capital Hill as backdrop, can't get better than that. I kicked myself why I waited this long to start, since the boathouse is only 1 mile from my home.have started a rowing class.
