Thanks for popping in for the weekly run down with me and Kim. I’m currently in my happy place with the people I love most. Here’s a peek into my lower key week of fitness and fun.

In My Happy Place Weekly Run Down

Sunday- 2.5 mile morning beach walk + core + Pvolve lower body

There is nothing like waking up right by the beach. I took advantage of a sleep in and a nice walk on the beach. I may have just vegged out with my kindle the rest of the day.

Monday- 3 mile walk + upper body strength + core 

I started off my day with another walk around the beach area. After sitting on my butt reading for a while, I hopped into an upper body strength and core class.

Tuesday -Pvolve full body workout and core class

I’m enjoying taking the Pvolve classes that combine weights and the slant board. For this week, I have access to some lighter weights so I am taking advantage  of those classes. Later, our son and his girlfriend arrived on the island-yay!

We spent the afternoon in the pool and then hit up a local spot for dinner.

Wednesday-Beach walk + Pvolve upper body class

It was another gorgeous morning here in paradise. I headed out for a beach walk-there is nothing better than feeling the sand in your toes. We will count that as lower body strength ha! Lounged around by the pool and then hit up a Pvolve class in the afternoon.

One of the local chefs came and created a nice little al fresco feast for us all to enjoy.

Thursday-morning power walk + arms and abs

I got in a nice and sweaty morning power walk followed by some arms and abs. The rest of the day just floated by.

Later, we went to our favorite sunset dining spot for some more fabulous views.

Friday-upper body strength and core

I had kind of a lazy day today taking advantage of the weights I had to get in a peloton upper body class.

Saturday-barre and core 

I got in a quick workout this morning before we moved from one villa to another on the other side of the island. We moved all of our stuff, restocked our groceries and then our daughter  and her fiancé joined us. Together at last! In my happy place with the people who make me happy.
