Thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down. I’m back in my groove and ending May on a strong note. Here’s a peek into my week of fitness.
Ending May on A strong note Weekly Run Down
Sunday-hip mobility + power walk
I started off the day with a hip mobility class and then met up with a friend for a weighted vest 3 mile walk. Later, there was a lull in the rain and we stopped by a friend’s Memorial Day get together. Patriotic outfits on point!
Monday-upper body strength & hike + core + stretch
It sure did not feel like a Monday! It’s still raining around here so outdoor plan were off. I got in a good solid workout and then tackled some more home organization.
Tuesday-core + mobility + Pilates reformer class
After really enjoying a few reformer classes on my trip, I signed up to do a few private training classes to see what they were really all about. I liked my first class a lot and feel like Pilates will be a great compliment to the strength and cardio I am currently doing. Well, I thought I had a good rain free window to sneak out and get my after lunch walk in. Alas, I did not. Well, I need to shower anyway!
Wednesday-core + lower body strength & tread hike + stretch
It has literally been raining everyday for over a week! It was lower body strength day followed by the tread hike and a stretch. I used my bench to elevate the split squat intensity. Later, Wednesdays are for Mahjong! It was fun to use my new set.
Thursday-upper body push + hike + core + power walk + stretch
It finally stopped raining! After getting in my upper body push and hike class, I met a friend for our hilly weighted vest walk. It was pretty glorious out!
Friday-core + lower body strength & hike + stretch
Nice strength workout to end the week on a strong note. It’s finally gorgeous weather here and I’m looking forward to enjoying it the next few days.
Saturday-standing core + power walk + Pilates + stretch
After a great standing core class, I headed out for a power walk with my weighted vest. It was another gorgeous day to enjoy! Later I fit in a Pilates ball class and stretch. I stretched everyday this week (via 10m peloton classes) and I feel fantastic. Go figure!
It was a pretty good week around here and it’s nice to finish the month on a strong note! How about you?
I agree, I think Pilates is a great way to complement strength and cardio! I running buddy of mine does it and he swears by it, too.
Now, if only I could get myself to sign up for it!
