Thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down. I was so happy to have a nice, uneventful and boring week. Here’s how it went!
A nice boring weekly run down
Sunday- upper body strength + hike
One of my favorite Peloton instructors, Rebecca, came out with a new 4 day a week program that combines strength and tread hikes. I just so happen to love that combo so I jumped right in. This is another split training type of program so each strength class has a focus. Today was upper body pull.
I also cheered on my Philadelphia Eagles as they secured their spot in the Super Bowl.
Monday- core + lower body strength + hike + stretch +afternoon walk
My Monday motivation was high today! I thoroughly enjoyed my second day of the lower body and hike split combo.I am going to feel those squats tomorrow (in a good way). Later, I met a friend for an afternoon coffee walk. Things are melting but it’s still a little icy out there on the bike trail.
Tuesday -3.25 run/walk + barre + core
After 3 weeks off from running, it was so nice to get back out there with my squad. It was a balmy 35 and sunny which felt almost springlike!
Wednesday -core + upper body strength + hike
I spent the first part of the day visiting some wedding sites and vendors downtown. Later, I got in my 3rd day of new split program which is upper body push and a short tread hike.
Thursday- 3.25 run/walk + barre
It was another sunny, slightly warmer morning and it always feels good to be outside especially on a nice day.
Friday-core + lower body strength + tread hike
I finished up the first week of the new 4 day strength + hike classes and really enjoyed it. There are so many new Peloton classes and programs, I’m overwhelmed with choices!
Saturday-30 min Pilates and core
I tried one of the longer Pilates classes today and they are tough! The February core challenge (with Matty) has also started and I am always in for that!
It was a nice boring week just what I needed!
Boring is good! I could use some of that. I think I’d love the hike/strength combo–that sounds right up my alley. Glad you had a good week!
I had been doing that combo on my own as well but it was fun to take a set schedule. It’s a great mix
Glad to hear you’re back to running. 30 is balmy. Lol.
Yes. Boring is sometimes good.
It did feel good to get back out there even if I am not in the same running shape
After yesterday I think all our snow/ice is FINALLY gone!
I think I’d enjoy the hiking program. I’ll have to figure out how to fit it in.
Yes, all the ice is finally gone! I loved the program and will do it again for sure. So many great options it’s hard to choose
Uneventful is a good thing these days!! How nice for you that the weather is warming up. Your first outdoor photo looks so icy and unpleasant despite the nice weather, then the second one looks like a lovely day. I’m glad you’re getting back to some quality time outdoors.
Mixing strength and hiking sounds perfect!
I think all of the ice and snow finally melted yesterday! It is still cold but manageable
We all need a boring week sometimes! glad it warmed up near you. lol 35 would feel balmy here, too! nice job on the loooong pilates workout!! I need to do more workouts like that.
The Pilates class was long but I did like it 🙂
Sometimes boring is just what we need! Glad you had a good week.
Yes, exactly!
ooh, Marty has a new core program! I need to check that out…my core motivation has been weak lately. I hadn’t realized you hadn’t been running (oops). I’m glad the return to it feels good 😉
Look on Matty’s IG he has a Feb core program that has all the instuctors for variety. If you don’t find it I will send to you. I didn’t runt eh first few weeks of Jan bc I was sick then we had a snow storm
Yes, I’ll never complain about a “boring” week of fitness- boring means no new fiascos at least! Sounds like you’re enjoying some warmer weather- I’ll bet those runs felt good!
Well that is the way to look at it!
I bet the wedding planning is fun! Sounds like a nice week of not much going on. Those are much needed sometimes!
They are much needed sometimes!
That sounds like a nice week, Deb. I have to check out RK’s strength + hike program now that I have access to a tread!
Yes-definitely check it out I have been loving the hikes for a while now and it’s a great combo
Sometimes a boring week is just what is needed!
Do you have big Superbowl plans? I don’t really watch the game, but it is fun to do themed snacks and food.
my hubs and son are going to the game 🙂 I will be cheering them on at home
