I don’t know about you, but I was so happy to be back into the routine of things for last week’s workouts.
I love the holidays but I’m so over it.
My kids do best with routine and structure and as much as I like to be a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants type of gal, I do too.
Cheers to the routine!
Monday
First time back in the gym after 2 weeks off! I was expecting it to be busier than usual, thinking maybe people would be getting a jump start on their New Year’s goals. Not so much…it was probably one of the quietest mornings I’ve ever seen. Hmmmm.
30 minutes Arc Trainer Interval
Strength Training:
DB bench press
DB pullover
Reverse lunge with SA DB shoulder press
Reverse grip barbell row
Barbell hip thruster
SL KB deadlift
Banded pull ups
Eccentric pull ups
TRX mountain climbers/pike plank
Tuesday
4.71 miles, 8:51 avg/pace
New year, new miles. I always like to start the year off with a run. It just feels right. Especially when it feels more like spring rather than January 1st. It has snowed overnight but by the time we woke up the temps were in the mid 40s and rising. The snow didn’t last (boo!) but I must admit that the warmer temps did feel good.
Wednesday
Ok, so I REALLY thought today would be the morning that the gym would be slammed. It was January 2nd after all. Guess what? Even MORE quiet than Monday. What?!?! SO bizarre. Maybe everyone will be there on Monday morning for a full week rather than starting in the middle? Come on in everyone!
30 minutes Elliptical
Strength training:
Decline push ups
Split squats
Plate squat with shoulder press
Cable row with reverse lunge
Anti-rotational cable pull
Banded pull ups
Eccentric pull ups
Bench step ups
Barbell deadlift
Medball sit up/toss
Medball Russian twist
Thursday
5.27 mile run, 8:46 avg/pace
Kyle and I were hoping for a two hour school delay so we could run just a little bit later than usual. Of course, the call for the delay came when we were almost done. Oh well. The snow was pretty, the conversation was good and the run got done.
Friday
Guess what? Today was FINALLY a busier day at the gym. Not crazy busy but some new faces outside of the usual crowd.
30 minutes Bike
Strength Training:
Lat pull down
Banded pull ups
Cable chest flys
Cable pushdowns
Barbell squats w/ bench touch
Barbell hip thrusters
Bench steps ups w/ balance hold
Lateral lunge w/ DB reach and press
Plank/side plank
Saturday
5.18 mile run, 8:50 avg/pace
The roads were slick in spots after rain overnight so I spent a lot of time doing the shuffle run off and on. This winter has been so crazy so far. November felt like January, January feels like March so far. I’d like to have some snow that will stick around longer than a few hours. It’s kind of hard to do all the fun winter things like snowshoeing, sledding and skiing/snowboarding in frozen dirt. C’mon Mother Nature!
Sunday
Snowboarding day!
It was the first day of ski club so we spent the whole day up at the mountain. With temps in the low/mid 30s, occasional snow squalls and sunshine, it was a gorgeous day to be on the mountain. I love that my kids are little rippers who love it just as much as Ron and I. Now if we just had less ice and more snow…
A week of getting back into #workouts and a #running routine. #lastweeksworkouts
