Last week was definitely a quality over quantity kind of week for my workouts. I only exercised four days instead of my usual five, but each workout left me really sore so I can’t complain!

Last Week’s Workouts

Sunday
I ran the Oaktoberfest 5k race with my dad, Tim, and my cousin Dean. I ran hard, so my legs/hips were really feeling it for a few days.

Monday
Monday was my “I don’t want to go to the gym day,” but I ended up doing this 35 minute upper body workout. Holy DOMS!

Tuesday
Two A Day! I took Liz’s Kickboxing class, then taught a lower body supersets format in my class afterwards. Was anyone else really feeling it in their legs last week after class? I definitely was.

Wednesday
Active rest — walk at lunch

Thursday
Taught my class in the morning with isometric hold sets. I haven’t done that type of format in a while!

Friday
Off

Saturday
Active rest – walking around Portsmouth

This Week’s Workouts

Here’s this week’s plan:

Sunday: Hike in Portsmouth
Monday: Tonight I will either be going to Cardio Cutz if I can leave work early enough OR I will be doing a treadmill workout
Tuesday: Halloween Two A Day! Class members, please wear a costume and come ready for prizes and Halloween fun! Don’t let Liz and I be the only ones dressed up. 🙂
Wednesday: Rest day or TBD
Thursday: Teaching my morning class. No costumes on Halloween because costumes at 6am is a little aggressive, but be prepared for a Halloween themed “butts and guts” class.
Friday: Rest day or TBD
Saturday: Heading back to FitHouse to try a cycle class. Can’t wait!

Monday Motivation

I posted this question on my F&F Facebook page this morning, but I want to ask here as well. What do you struggle with most when it comes to healthy living? Is it diet or exercise, or is it something else like getting enough sleep, managing stress levels, maintaining healthy relationships, etc.?

Whatever it might be, what small steps will you take this week to help yourself overcome some of those struggles? Breaking those lofty areas into smaller, more manageable steps makes them seem more achievable!
