Morning! Hope all your weekends were wonderful and that all the dads out there enjoyed a special day.
I’m trying to get back into the swing of my weekly workout posts, so that’s what you guys get on here today.
Last week was definitely a quality over quantity week. My hamstrings were sore from Tuesday’s workout for the entire week, so I didn’t want to overdo it.
- Sunday: Off
- Monday: Lauren’s cycle class
- Tuesday: Taught my first Tuesday 6am class with strength supersets and a jump rope/inchworm cardio finisher (the hamstring killer!)
- Wednesday: Off
- Thursday: Own strength workout after work, followed by a rope slam and burpee cardio finisher
- Friday: Just a mile walk in the morning. I lead the walk for some of our customers at the nursing forum along with Dawn, but I was just too tired the rest of the day to bring myself to do anything. I chose listening to my body instead of pushing myself too hard —> something I am proud of being so much better at lately.
- Saturday: Yoga class at the Boston Magazine health and wellness retreat
Like my fun new Athleta pants?
Here’s what’s on tap for workouts this week:
- Sunday: Walk
- Monday: Starting phase two of my strength training program
- Tuesday: Teaching at 6am (format requests?) + subbing Kickboxing for Liz at 6:30pm
- Wednesday: Either an off day or spin or a run
- Thursday: Crossing my fingers for nice weather so I can finally take my morning class outside for a baseball diamond bootcamp workout. Depending on how I feel from Monday-Wednesday, I may stay and do my own strength workout afterward, or I might take a rest day.
- Friday: Subbing 6am cycle + core
- Saturday: I think I finally will start putting my Class Pass to use and try Torch and Tone at B-Tone in Lexington with the gym girls.
And that’s all for today!
–Let’s chat–
What was the best workout you had last week? What are your healthy living goals/intentions this week?
This week I am focusing on sleep. I really want to try to get 7 hours each night. That’s a big deal for me!
Can you tell me more about the Modern Woman’s Guide to Strength Training? I’ve been doing random workouts, but I’d love a little more structure to my strength training.
Yes of course!
This is the link:
http://modernwomanstrengthtraining.com/
I recommend it for anyone who is new to strength training or looking to follow a standard plan. There are three different levels to choose from, TONS of information for the price, including video demonstrations of how to do all the moves. I’ve been following Molly Galbraith for a while now, she is the one who leads you through all the exercises in the videos, and she really knows her stuff!
My hamstrings were sore for days! Made me think of you while in Italy!
Yay! Success!
