thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down. I’m finishing week 5 of 6 of the HiLit and still enjoying it and honestly, feeling quite strong. Here’s a peek into this very summer weather week.
Summer Summer Summer Weekly Run Down
Sunday-rest day & stretch
Well it was another less than stellar weather day with torrential rain most of the day. I took of advantage of my planned rest day with grocery shopping, some meal prep and laundry. Cari and I also had a nice long phone catch up for 2 hours! This week’s weather is looking less than desirable.
Monday-low impact cardio + lower body strength + outdoor walk
I was looking forward to starting week 5 of HiLit+ with Rebecca. The lower body class was challenging and I finished feeling good. Loaded hip bridges (not easy to photo) are always a favorite of mine.
After stalking the weather, it looked like I would have a rain free window for my walk. Alas, I got it wet anyway but got it done.
Tuesday-Pilates reformer class + power walk
I enjoyed this much more challenging reformer class today and had fun doing some different moves that really challenged my core and balance. I may even try a group class this weekend. I beat the rain today on my walk.
Wednesday -upper body and core strength + jump training
As advertised in our 10 day forecast, we had a morning thunder shower. This is getting quite tiresome! Alas, I am always happy to have my indoor options. Today’s upper body strength was spicy! We also had a 15 minute jump training class which is kind of fun (and so good for our bones!) Resting jumping face 🙂
Thursday-Pilates sculpt + power walk
This morning had me checking off my Peloton box with a 30 minute Pilates sculpt class. Later, I met a friend for a nice long walk. It was 94 degrees out but we made the most of it and stopped in for cold drink along the way. We made it home just before today’s round of thunderstorms rolled in.
Friday-lower body strength & core + low impact cardio
After checking in with the Ultimate Coffee Date posts, I jumped into a tough lower body strength class followed by a low impact cardio to finish out week 5 of HiLit+. Later, I headed over to spend the afternoon with my parents. My dad seems to be a lot more stable for the moment thank goodness.
Saturday-reformer Pilates class + stretch
I decided it was time to try a group Pilates reformer class. I’ll try a bunch of different instructors to find the right one. I’d like to go at least once a week to compliment the strength classes I’m doing. I like the intense core work and feeling of being very stretched out especially in my back. It was not supposed to rain until evening, but wouldn’t you know it, 45 min after I got out there the thunder rolled in. Not the most stellar weather week! The workouts were good though. So we’ll take that!
