I'm quite proud of this. I am really struggling with motivation and anxiety and I still prioritized working out. I did have a couple days where I chose reading on the couch instead, but I still hit my fitness goals and feel pretty good about it.
If you're interested in free online stretch class at lunchtime, our local health care company offers them for free. See here for more information. It's $20 to pay for all of the classes for the month, too, but the stretching class are free. You can sign up at any point during the month for free classes.
What a great month! Yay!
ReplyDeleteOh, "Hours of yardwork" absolutely counts as exercise! You're working some serious muscles there.
ReplyDeleteI really like the stretching class. And every little bit counts!
I concur that hours of yardwork counts as exercise, 100%! You're moving your body - that's what exercise is!
ReplyDeleteI also agree that yardwork 100% counts as exercise! It's often a full-body workout! You had a great month! May was epically bad with me having covid and feeling pretty crappy for a good 3 weeks, and then having Will home at the end of the month. I'm hoping June is better but I have another kid on quarantine so it's not exactly typical, although I have been doing 3-mile stroller runs with Paul. Which OMG they are so hard!
ReplyDeleteYou are suer diligent and must be very fit.
ReplyDeleteNice job! You got in a good mix of strength, cardio, and yoga. And runs!!! How exciting. Yardwork definitely counts as exercise! I always end up sore after doing yardwork.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I also meant to comment on the "Stars, Stripes and Sweat" workout. Very cute idea- I love it!
