Thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down. This week was really just about coasting through. Nothing too exciting to report. We all need weeks like that! Here’s a peek in to my week of fitness.
Coasting through the Weekly Run Down
Sunday- rest day core + stretch
I was surprised to sleep in past 9 am today. Seemed like the perfect way to start off my rest day. I lounged by the pool reading most of the afternoon. Don’t worry, I did my daily core and stretch.
Monday-core + full body strength + stretch + power walk
It was kind of cool this morning (for June!) so I headed out for a walk before my strength workout. I spent the afternoon visiting with my parents. I’m lucky to have them just 15 min away so I can pop over when they need me.
Tuesday- Pilates reformer class + afternoon walk + foam roll
Tuesdays are now my Pilates reformer days. I think I’m getting the feel for it after 3 sessions. It feels like a good addition to my strength workouts. We are not supposed to take pics in there but I did sneak one in! Later, I headed out for a nice walk and foam roll stretch.
Wednesday-full body strength + core + stretch
I good strong upper body class was just what I needed today. This one had some sneaky core work too. Then, it was mahjong day-I was lucky enough to win a game too.
Thursday-morning power walk + core + upper body strength + stretch
Well that extreme heat rolled into our area today. My friend and I got out for a morning power walk before it was too hot. I was super sweaty for my upper body class afterwards.
Friday-full body strength + lower body Pilates
I finished out the week with a full body strength class and some lower body Pilates. We went to the movies in the theatre for the first time in ages! Disclosure Day was really good! While I do love sitting in my pj’s and hitting play on a movie, the new theatres where you can order dinner at your seats are very nice and civilized.
Saturday-rest day core Pilates
I had a chill day of relaxing by the pool but made sure to get in my daily core Pilates. We went out to a nice dinner at one of favorite restaurants in Georgetown.
It was kind of a chill, not too exciting week around here. I’m okay with that!
I like how you’re steadily building Pilates reformer into your week. That reformer looks like an instrument of torture, haha!
I can’t wrap my head around the idea of eating dinner in a movie theatre! 😂
Am I understanding this correctly: you’re actually having a full meal in your seat while watching the film, in the dark? Do the waiters come in and out to serve you? And is everyone else having dinner, too?
They are the much bigger reclining type seats almost like a business class airline seat. You order from a waiter yes and they bring your food and or cocktails to your seat. It’s like salads sandwiches pizza etc and popcorn of course but much more civilized than a traditional theater smaller more upscale. Does that make sense?
Ah, yes, thanks, Deborah! That does make sense and actually sounds quite nice!
Very nice!
Sounds like a nice, calm week for you. What is that like? LOL. Glad you’re enjoying pilates. You look great!
Thanks it was a more chill week over here for sure I’m feeling good
I had been to a real theatre in ages but went to one where they served dinner. What fun?
I feel like I need to try Pilates.
Glad to hear you had a calm week.
I think Pilates is a great addition to strength and running as it elongates the muscles after using them and great for posture
I love that you snuck a picture of your reformer class! I’ve always been tempted to go to one, I’ve heard they are so good for you. I’m just not a typical group exercise person. but you tempt me!
I’m actually taking a private reformer class at the moment t not sure if I will do the group thing at some point or not but m liking it
Pilates just feels like torture to me and the reformer makes it look like torture too! But, I know it can have huge benefits!
Disclosure Day looks good. I haven’t been on a movie date in ages — maybe we should try that dinner theater.
Love that place in G’town — you husband’s shoes are on point!
Ha he was very excited about those shoes! We have a bunch of the new theatres like that around now. We went to the new paragon in FC very nice
Try the peloton core Pilates and see what you think. There are also a bunch w the band which might be good for you
It sounds like you had a great week with plenty of time to relax. I’ve never tried the Pilates reformer, but have heard it provides a great workout. I’m glad you’re enjoying it!
You guys look great! Hope you had a fun evening!
I think it is a great compliment to cycling or strength as it elongates the muscles after using check out the Pilates section on peloton
Nice strong week for you! I envy you for a nothing-special week and for having your parents so close by!! I look forward to some quieter weeks when I get back home. Love your outfits – you and especially your husband always have such cool colourful clothes!
Yes I am lucky to have my parents nearby because they have needed me a lot lately! Hope you have a great visit with yours
Your husband’s shoes are delightful.
I want a cool day. Any cool day will do.
I feel that-we had a very hot and humid week here too
Well you’ve had a lot of excitement lately so a chill week is just what you needed. You still got in some good workouts though! Sounds like you’re embracing the summer vibes to the fullest.
Yes never miss the planned workouts!
what a great week Deborah. Nice perfect mix of relaxing and moving. I did Pilates (not reformer) for 1.5 years and just could not get into it. I tried so hard. there’s a new reformer class in town I’ve been meaning to try but haven’t taken the plunge yet.
The reformer classes have been very popular around here
Sounds like your week was just what you needed 😉 Look at the two of you, all glitzed up…looking great!
Yes must what we needed indeed!
We don’t have any theaters near us that serve meals, unless you count a big tub of popcorn as a meal (well, sometime’s it’s my lunch when I got to the movies haha). That does sound fun!
Congrats on the mahjong win!
We have a bunch of these types of theaters now and they are great with cocktails too
What a great week with a variety of workouts! I am sure the cooler temps felt great!
Thanks!
