Tried the Seated Marches during my Zoom call. My knees usually lock up after 30 minutes; today I stood up and walked to the printer like a normal human. Small miracle!

Did the Wrist Circles routine before breakfast – took maybe 90 seconds – and I opened the peanut-butter jar without begging my husband for help. Zero twinges!

Today I was doing Hip Stretches on Just One Move. I was super sore before hand but now I am feeling some relief. I think I'll add this to my habit builder!
