Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down today. This week kind of flew by over here. I’ve been busy trying to figure out this Peloton Power Zone training. Not sure if I am doing it correctly but I am pedaling on and even earned myself a few new Peloton badges this week. Here’s a peek into my week.
Power Zone Week 3
Monday-20 min core + 10 min chest back strength + yoga for hips
I hit my 1000th workout on Peloton!
Adding in so many of strength training classes during quarantine really upped my stats. Now I am hooked.
Tuesday- PZ endurance 45 m + 10 min core + 10 min strength + yoga for hips
Got a little frustrated with the endurance class today. It is hard to stay in the right zone. Sometimes I just want to push it but I have to stay in my prescribed zone.
Wednesday- 40 min Peloton + 20 min full body strength + 5 m stretch +15 m yoga for hips
Took a break from power zone training and just did a fun 80’s class. This full body strength class was tougher than expected. Finished my 15 day yoga for hips challenge. Look forward to sharing my thoughts on the experience this week.
Thursday- 10 min core + 15 min yoga for hips + 2 mile walk
A lower key day for me today. Even though, my 2 week yoga challenge is over, I opted to do a 15 min Peloton yoga for hips. Who am I?
Friday-30 min Peloton + 20 min full body strength and stretch
Hit my 450th cycle class today! Rolling around w my new Rollga foam roller.
Saturday- 30 minute Peloton + 10 minute core + short swim
Sunday- Peloton power zone 30 min + 10 min core + lower body strength
Hit my 9000 minutes for the year today. Crazy how much I have come to love and rely on these classes the past few months. I used to workout with a trainer 2x a week pre-covid. Never thought I would ever stop seeing him! Now, I don’t think I see myself going back. Crazy how much has changed the last few months. Maybe this is one of the positive things that have changed for me?
Tell me- what is one positive change that you have made (or that has happened) during the Covid months? Thanks for linking up and have a great week ahead!
Coming this week: Meatless Monday Pumpkin Trail Mix muffins. Wednesday I am recapping my yoga challenge.
Great week! Congrats on the milestones!!!! I think a huge blessing from the COVID is the opportunity if has given many of us to become self-reliant. Even if we’re doing online fitness classes, or working-out via an app, we’re essentially doing it on our own time and on our own terms. That’s a challenge, and it does take a special kind of discipline, but it’s a great way to be accountable to ourselves. Ultimately, it’s ourselves we have to answer to 😉
I completely agree with that!
Congrats on all those milestones with Peloton! You are rocking it with all of your workouts!
One of the positive things that COVID taught me is that it’s possible to work virtually with my clients. One client was sad that she was going to lose me when she moved away and dreaded finding a new trainer that she felt comfortable with and now that she has moved, we’re able to keep training together via FaceTime.
Thanks for the linkup and have a great week!
That is definitely a win for both of you!
Hmm. I’m not really sure that I have a positive change to share. Maybe finally getting out to hike/walk more recently. The challenge there is the bathroom situation!
I would call that a bonus! I hear ya on the bathroom situation ha ha
Nice week! One positive change from the pandemic continues to be my trail running! It’s nice to have found something new that I love about running. You can teach an old dog new tricks!
That is a positive for sure!
Great week! I think the positive change that has happened is the ability to adapt to changes. So many new ways to still be connected and get things done remotely. 1,000 Peloton workouts! Wow!!
I have also become much better at adapting to changes and rolling with them which is usually not one of my strong suits
Congrats on your 1,000 Peloton class! I have also really embraced a bunch of different Peloton classes since quarantine first started. I think that’s probably one of the few positives in all of this craziness.
I also added in a fun cycle class this week. I find I need that to keep things fun since the PZ classes are anything but fun, lol.
exactly! I am finding them kind of a chore. Others seem to like them though maybe I have to stick w it?
Having time to stretch properly certain is one positive change I’ve made. Congrats on the 9000K! I think I’ll hit 7000K this week. :-O
Sorry you don’t know if your doing PowerZone right — seems like there should be guidance somewhere? Anyway, I’m sure it will pay off.
Finding time to stretch is definitely a positive! I hope I can keep that up over here
Congrats on 1000 classes! Pandemic or not, that’s quite an achievement.
While I don’t want to make light of all of the illness/death/unemployment that has come out of the pandemic, in many way this year has been an extremely happy time for me. I still love the extra time with my family and work is so much less stressful at home. Running is now my #1 reason for leaving the house and while I don’t want to spend the rest of my life at home I’m good with it for the foreseeable future;-)
I think it really helps to find positives in the current situation. We do have to go on living despite what is happening around us
AMAZING on the milestones. WELL DONE you.
I was thinking about the positive things recently too. There’s been a lot of good amid the mess. We need to remember that. Most of mine has been selfish, but I’ve also realized that’s not necessarily a bad thing
right now I think it’s necessary to be a little selfish sometimes!
Congrats on your milestones!! I would definitely count discovering all that Peloton has to offer as one of the positives coming out of these past few months! I’ve also been doing a lot more walking – definitely a plus!
I agree and it’s important to find positives in all of this
Great job with all those Peloton milestones! I think for me this year has taught me to be more flexible with my running and workouts. Its probably been good in some ways to not have any races to train for.
It has taught us all to be more flexible for sure
Congratulations on the milestones! you are so self-disciplined. So impressive!
Thanks for hosting the link-up!
thanks Jessie they definitely keep me moving
major milestones Deborah! Congrats and great work!
While I’ve definitely slipped with workouts and nutrition, these past few months have really helped me take a good look at what is truly important in my life. That’s why my focus went to buying a house! Now that that is done, it’s time to get back to work.
yes realizing what is really important in your life is a win for sure
Congrats on those milestones!!! One positive thing is during more classes on the Peloton app. I was so focused on the cycling classes and didn’t pay attention to the other ones. It is a whole new world in that app!
Oh yes it is! Enjoy
I was able to begin taking weekly Zoom yoga classes from my favorite yoga teacher who moved to Southern California about 8 years ago. I’ve missed her ever since, and now I can take her classes again! Big positive!
You are absolutely killing it with Peloton! Your consistency and variety of workouts is truly impressive.
that is a huge positive! enjoy! And thanks 🙂
You are simply amazing! I can’t imagine you wouldn’t be doing the challenge correctly. but even if you’re not, you’re still crushing it!
Thanks Jen!
