Thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down. Now they we are past the poor air quality and the 100 degree temps, I was determined to get back to hitting my daily outdoor step goals. Stepping it up it is! Here’s a peek into my week.
Stepping It Up Weekly Run Down
Sunday-afternoon walk
It was still quite humid after last night’s storm but not as hot so let’s kick start this week of outdoor walking.
Monday-core + lower body strength + low impact cardio and outdoor power walk
Mondays are always my duty to hit it hard and today was no exception. After an hour of strength and cardio, I met a friend for a long power walk. It is back to just regular hot-ha!
Tuesday-reformer Pilates + power walk
Today was my weekly reformer Pilates class. After 10 sessions there, I’ve decided that I need a more challenging class. I am going to try a new place next week-stay tuned. It was good to get in a nice long outdoor walk before the storms rolled in.
I hosted mahjong at my house today. Most of our squad is out on summer vacation so it was just a small group
Wednesday-Pilates core + upper body strength + jump training + power walk
My Pilates core class was a quick warm up to this upper body class. Today’s class had a lot of unilateral chest presses, overhead presses, bicep curs and skull crushers. Afterwards, it was our first 10 min jump training class. Great for bone health and balance! Yes, I did get my outdoor steps in as well.
Thursday-Pilates core + outdoor walk x 2
It was an absolutely gorgeous day (for a change!) and I was happy to get out for 2 walks with a Pilates class sandwiched in between.
Friday-tread walk + lower body strength + core + low impact cardio
Super challenging strength workout today with lots of unilateral work. I especially enjoyed the offset front squats for a fun change. Later, the hubs and I treated ourselves to a mid day matinee to see The Odyssey. It was long but good! I had some funny memories of this book from high school that I will share next week’s runfessions.
Saturday-outdoor walk + upper body strength
I got out for a nice outdoor walk and quick upper body strength before heading down to Charlottesville, VA for my son’s graduation. He finished his masters in Data Science at UVA today. It was a gorgeous day to celebrate him.
