Thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly Run Down. This week, I’m keeping up my intention of daily stretching and starting off June doing just that. Here’s a peek into my week.
Stretching into june Weekly Run Down
Sunday-weighted power walk + Pilates + stretch
It was another gorgeous day around here. I wish we could bottle these up because I know the hot and hazy days are soon approaching. I had a nice power walk with my vest this morning and then read by the pool in the afternoon. It was cool enough at night to sit by the fire pit and enjoy the weather.
Monday-core + lower body strength + tread hike + stretch + afternoon power walk
Love a strong Monday! Glutes and legs on fire today. These standing lateral weighted leg lifts were a great balance challenge. Later, I met a friend for an afternoon walk. Yes, I did get in that daily stretching.
Tuesday-core + upper body strength + Pilates reformer + stretch
I started off my day with a core and upper body strength. Later, I had my second Pilates reformer class. I’m still learning the ropes, so to speak, but I am enjoying it. My stretch class was perfect after dinner.
Wednesday-core Pilates + full body strength + power walk
A nice mix of full body strength and a nice day for a long outdoor walk. Later it was time for mahjong!
Thursday-Mat Pilates + stretch + swim
After a great core mat Pilates class with the ball, It was the perfect day for a first swim. I always forget how much I love swimming laps.
Also bonus points when your nails match your bag.
Friday-power walk + upper body strength + core + stretch + swim
Today I got out for a nice power walk with a friend before it got too hot. After an upper body strength workout, I jumped into the pool for a few laps. I’m trying to ease back into swimming.
Saturday-full body strength + core + stretch
It was another gorgeous and warm summer day. We have to enjoy these low humidity days while they last! I spent the rest of the afternoon reading by the pool. I finished “yesteryear” wow what a crazy story!
Stretching just 10 min a day everyday this week is doing wonders for my body. Try it?!
Our weather has been fabulous, but I’m not looking forward to the humidity sneaking back in. I just bought Yesteryear but haven’t gotten a chance to start reading it yet. It sounds like a fun read!
