thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down. This week I was back on my Peloton bike after a long hiatus and it felt good. Here’s a peek into my week of fitness and the start of vacation.
Back on the bike Weekly Run Down
Sunday-Pilates core
Today was a planned rest day with some Pilates core thrown in for the streak. I spent the rest of this super rainy day starting to pack for our upcoming travel adventures. We have a few back to back trips so I have to be very strategic in my packing.
Monday-lower body strength + climb ride + power walk
I decided to try Tunde’s new strength + cycle class this week. I’m kind of missing my Peloton bike and want to be strategic in my workouts this week before we go out of town. She did not mess around with the tough lower body strength followed immediately by a climb ride. I then met a friend for a 3 miler and it was toasty!
Tuesday-power walk + reformer Pilates
Since it was only 82 this morning I got in my long walk before heading to another reformer Pilates class. I wanted to get one more in before I leave for vacation this weekend. I’m enjoying all the core work!
Wednesday-upper body strength + Peloton bike + power walk
Wow this new strength + bike program is no joke. Tunde does not mess around. A few AMRAP and EMOM sets added to the spice. I headed out for a power walk afterwards to shake out my legs. Later, it was Mahjong day again with the girls.
Thursday-Pilates sculpt
It was another stormy day around here. My morning walk turned into me deciding to clean all of the cushions on our couch with my Bessel little green machine. I did a Pilates sculpt class at home before heading out to visit my parents for a few hours.
Friday-full body strength & core + bike intervals + power walk
Today’s workout was spicy! While the first 2 strength workouts of the week were heavy lifts, today’s class was more conditioning and cardio with medium weights. When we transitioned to the Peloton bike for intervals, that’s when it got serious. When Tunde said, “this part should really feel disgusting”, I couldn’t have agreed more. What a tough 20 minute finisher. A short walk to shake it off followed.
Later, we met my son and his girlfriend’s family that are in town visiting. It was actually a beautiful day around here and we had a nice time together.
Saturday-leave for Nantucket, Mass
We are excited to be in one of our happy places again and looking forward to hanging out with our friends for the next few days.
“This part should really feel disgusting” is definitely not the kind of workout description you want to hear, but it sounds like a great challenge!! 😂 Great job at getting all the Pilates in, too!
Enjoy Nantucket!
She was really serious! Just what I needed this week
I love Tunde’s classes, and you’re correct, she doesn’t mess around. I love it when the instructors pack a lot in a 30 or 45-minute workout!
Have so much fun on your trip to Nantucket!
Wow, sounds like you’re getting in some really good workouts! I hope you have a great trip to nantucket! I haven’t been out there in years, and I love it. Ihope you enjoy some great food and beaches!
Thanks we are looking forward to a relaxing week ahead
Ooof! I don’t like to do anything that sounds disgusting, lol. Nice work. I think you’ve earned your trip! Enjoy the coast!
Ha it was just what I needed this week. And thanks looking forward to being away
Tunde intimidates me! Great work getting through it.
Enjoy Nantucket!
She sure can be intimidating and does not mess around
Mixing heavy leg strength with biking sounds tough alright! But it feels good to get an extra challenge, isn’t it? Hope you’ll have a good time in Nantucket!
Thanks and yes its always good to have an extra challenge
Sounds like a really tough week of workouts (in a good way) and yes, now you’re all ready for a vacation! Can’t wait to hear all about it, and I hope we get lots of photos!
Yes I sure am ready for vacation
Oooh! I hope you have the most wonderful time on your vacation! Love that you were able to fit in so much fitness before you head out!
Thanks me too
You know I love Tunde! She does not mess around, LOL. Solid week for you, though. I hope your vacation is wonderful 🙂
She is a tough cookie
Hooray for vacation! Way to get in a lot of workouts before your trip. I feel the same way- work hard before you play hard 🙂 It was “only 82” degrees in the morning on Tuesday? yikes
Enjoy your travels!!
Work hard play hard indeed
Enjoy your upcoming vacation. Nantucket is beautiful.
Yes thanks we love it there
I am not one bit surprised to hear that Tunde’s strength + cycle classes are tough! I hope you have a great trip!
She is a tough cookie for sure thanks !
