Okay, so I still have to work through until Monday morning, but I still love the weekend.
What's Fitness Friday all about?
It's when we come over here and share what workouts we managed to fit in during the week.
Just tell me in the comments or leave a link to your blog post about the fitness adventures you tackled throughout the week.
Anything Counts.Anything counts, don't put yourself down! Played ball with your dog? Counts. Chased your kids around? Counts. Danced around the house? Counts. Ran a mile in 16 minutes? Counts. I'm so excited to see what moves you've been making! To keep myself accountable as well, here is what I've been up to! |
It's crazy, coming home from my shift and not being able to take a minute to sit down and relax...but I love it. Jumping right into my workouts at the end of my work week is the best thing to start off my weekend.
This last Monday I ran on the treadmill for warmup, did a lot of abs, squat variations, high knees and split jumps, jump rope, kick boxing, and dumbbell work for the arms. I'd go into specifics however I am completely spacing some of the details right now.
I'll keep better notes for next Friday, I promise!
On Tuesday: I did a quick bodyrock workout before Alex Beadon's webinar. Which Bodyrock exercise did I do?? {This one}
Wednesday Was Killer
Then we come down the stairs and move over to the center section and do it again. We come down the stairs, move over and go up the last section. Then come down and walk the track.
I kid you not, these things are killer. That ^^^ is ONE SET. We repeat until we're dead.
Sometimes that only takes one set, sometimes we can make it to three!
This last Wednesday I was feeling spontaneous! I decided I would leave earlier than Daniel and bike my way to the stadiums, do the stadiums, then bike my crazy-ass home.
To some of you more seasoned cyclists....power to you. To me, this was my first time biking anywhere really, in about 8 years. Add that to the stadiums?
I DIED.
It's only about 4.2 miles there {depending on the route}. Getting there was fun and fairly easy-going. To put this in other words: mostly downhill.
Then I completed an entire set of stadiums. My legs could barely go up the last section. As the guys continued on to their second set, I went back on my bike and decided I better start heading home before I chicken out and whine my way out of it.
I was already starting to contemplate how to get home without riding my bike...
So, for those who are familiar with riding a bike, you know that even a small hill feels like you going straight flippin' vertical. Okay, maybe that's just because I'm a complete novice....if you bike HELP ME OUT HERE !! lmao << but not joking.
One way or the other, I got through it. I made it home.
I was SO incredibly proud of myself and before I even set foot back in my house I was thinking how next time around I could only get better. Next time?!?!?! Yea, you bet your ass there will be a next time.
Friday
Friday was awesome. We got at the gym around 8am {right after work again} and I focused almost completely on arms. In fact, {HERE} is the link to the pin I followed along with. I did three sets of 12 on each exercise. Changing up between 10 - 15lbs depending on the type of exercise. My arms were shaking half-way through! I followed with a little bit of ab work and then jumped on the treadmill to finish it out. It was just before 930a when Daniel showed up near my treadmill and asked if I wanted to do spin. Spin. I absolutely LOVE spin, but to be completely honest here...we haven't done it in several months. We had just completed about an hour & a half of a workout and he wanted us to jump into a spin class where we use to get our asses kicked. I looked at him asking if he was serious...then said yes. Let's do this. |
Oh spin how I miss you.
Real quick. That bike ride on Wednesday? Killed my crotch because I'm not used to it and don't own a pair of fancy butt shorts. SO Friday spin?? Yup, my crotch was screaming.
Had to share because it's who I am.
Can't wait to hear all about your fitness adventures throughout the week!! SHARE SHARE SHARE!
