thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down. This week was busy with some tag along work travel with the hubs. I did my best to keep up with my routine. Here’s a peek into my week.
Weekly Run Down
Sunday-core + stretch
today ended up being more of a low key day than intended. I ended up helping my sister was some things but it’s all good. Tomorrow is another day.
Monday-lower body strength & core + jump training + power walk
I started week 5/6 of my HiLit+ program with some serious lower body strength and core. It’s always surprising how much harder than expected these weighted hip bridges are. I added on the jump training class for some nice bone strengthening. After lunch, I met a friend for a power walk in the gorgeous weather.
Tuesday-morning power walk + Pilates + fly to Little Rock
I headed out on a long morning walk in the gorgeous 60 degree weather then added a Pilates sculpt class to my day. Later, I joined my husband on a work trip to Little Rock, Arkansas (first time there). We added lots of steps on our evening walk to dinner and back
Wednesday-upper body strength + core + walking + October 7th memorial
It was a busy day in Little Rock. While my husband was at work meetings, I visited the hotel gym for an upper body and core workout. I was the only one there-bonus. The gym itself was a little dated but it had everything I needed.
Later, we attended an October 7th memorial ceremony at the Governor’s mansion in Little Rock. It was a very touching and meaningful tribute and I’m glad we attended. The victorious atrocities of that day would be akin to 9 September 11th’s in one day population wise.
Thursday-travel home from Little Rock -rest day
I thought I would get home in time to do something, but alas, today’s steps were all airport walks.
Friday-lower body strength + “walk and talk power walk with Deb”
I was happy to get back to my home gym and finish off my strength week with a tough lower body class. Later, I had a walk and talk virtually with Deb. We chatted all things for over an hour and both got in lots of steps.
Saturday-reformer Pilates class + power walk
I got a lot done today! After my Pilates reformer class, I headed over to visit with my parents. Later, I met a friend for a nice long power walk before meeting friends for dinner.
It was a busy week but a productive one all around. Next week has some more travel but you know me, my bags are always ready to go!
I so enjoyed our chance to catch up while chatting, and I got in a 4-mile walk that I probably wouldn’t have done otherwise!
It’s great that you were able to attend the October 7th memorial ceremony in Little Rock with your husband. Looking forward to where you’re headed next!
And yes, those weighted hip bridges are tough!
Annnd I just remembered that you said you’re headed to NYC. Tell Cari I said hello!
Yes I sure will!
It was so nice to catchup lets do it again soon!
I did weighted hip bridges too this week. Crazy how hard they are! At the end of the 10-minute workout, my legs were shaking. What weights are you using? They look heavy!
They do get heavy. I am. Up to 30 pounds for those now
Looks like a busy week–I’ve never been to Little Rock! i’m looking forward to seeing where you are going next!
It was an interesting quick visit and glad we got to attend the October 7 memorial.
you did a lot this week! glad your travels went well. I’ve never been to Little Rock before. isn’t it such a joy when you get to the hotel gym and it’s empty? glad it had everything you needed.
Yes it is nice to have a great hotel gym
Love all the travel! I feel like I’ve been living out of a suitcase the last month, and it’s great, but also tiring.
Agreed its great but also tiring
Sounds like a pleasant week fo ryou. That gym in Little Rock looks class! Definitely my cup of tea with all those barbells and dumbbells. Hip bridges can be tough going, especially if you go single leg!
Yes the single leg glute bridges do get tough
Cari told me you are headed to NYC but we miss each other… AGAIN. I’m there Oct 20-22.
And yes Oct 7 was such a sad day… lad to got to go to a memorial.
Sorry to miss you in NY again. Yes it was very meaningful to go to the memorial it has been a rough few years since
More travel planned? Ok, me too. I’ve got a beach vacation coming up in less than 2 weeks and I can’t wait! I’m glad you got to keep your workouts going while traveling. Nice to have the hotel gym to yourself!
Enjoy your vacation as well
I’ve never been to Little Rock! I bet it’s nice. I LOVE an empty hotel gym! Well, I would love any empty gym but the only time it happens is in a hotel, possibly.
Sounds like you kept up your routine nicely during this travel week!
Yes I sure tried
As you know, I’m not a gym-goer. It was a nice surprise, back in June when I was in Houston, to have an empty gym every time I stepped inside 😉 Those 30-pound weighted bridges look intense!
An empty gym is always nice
