How did your January go? Did you get back into the rhythm of working out after the holiday craziness?
It's so fun you were able to do yoga with Maya!
ReplyDeleteIt was SO MUCH FUN. I should try and fit in yoga with all my visits with bloggers!
DeleteOh yay! A workout with Maya - that is so fun. I hate lunges, so I will stay well away from that CG workout.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at myself because by the end of that workout, I was sort of leaning on my front leg and my legs were rubber. If you're not a lunge fan, I do not think I'd recommend it!
DeleteI think I did that lunge workout- from the Advent Series? I keep thinking those workouts will be "easy" because they're only around 20 minutes, hahahahaha! I did the HARD upper body workout today (that's what she calls it) and it was a killer.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine Maya is the perfect person to do yoga with!
Yep, the Advent series. I tried to get through all of them, but sometimes CG's workouts are repetitive and boring, so I'm still trying to get through them. Maybe I'll get through them and then start over again!
DeleteAnd here I was thinking *Engie* was the perfect person to do Yoga with because she is SO CONSISTENT with daily exercise! Also we were with Jules (virtually) and Nicole (via Yoga club!)
ReplyDeleteIt was such a great idea! I'm glad you thought of it!!
DeleteI like your mat. I also like that you are consistent in your yoga practice, but can't help wondering if I'd do better if I had a prettier mat. Who me, shallow much?
ReplyDeleteThat is my travel mat! It's super thing and has no traction. LOL. But it folds up nicely, so I take it with me when I travel. I always feel like if I take it with me, I should actually use it, right?!
DeleteI first read 'dumbbell workout' as doorbell workout, and I was like Hmm - is that like a lot of ding dong ditches, or running? Ha. I am in my regular workout routine, but I would do better if I set an alarm and got up early. I've been setting my alarm for the latest possible time in case I NEED the sleep, so if I wake up and have time for a full workout - that's a bonus. But often, I'm doing a short stint on the bike or a little strength before the tots got dropped off. Some of these 10 minute workouts would be perfect for the time slot that I end up with.
ReplyDeleteThe way I see it is that ten minutes is better than zero minutes. I just do what I can and sometimes that means doing shorter workouts. I think you have to decide on health goals and if you prioritize sleep, then something else has to go!
DeleteYOGA WITH MAYA. I wish I could consider doing yoga with anyone, but I am so inept I would worry that they would spend all their time laughing until they injured themselves or being concerned that I'm about to injure myself. I had the same yoga mat! I gave it to Eve because I needed something thicker for my Osgood-Schlatter knees.
ReplyDeleteYeah, if I'm being perfectly truthful, that mat is not very good. It even bothers my knees and I don't usually have complaints about them.
DeleteYou can do yoga with other people! They're so involved in what they are doing that they aren't even looking at you, I promise!!
I am just so impressed you keep exercising on the road. I'm a wuss and do nothing but eat bon bons and read books.
ReplyDeleteI clicked through on some of your workouts and I love the MadFit workouts, but have never done that cardio one and that full body flexibility is right up my alley! I'm going to reference this post and get some new ideas for at-home workouts.
It was a stressful trip, to be honest, and I needed a little stress relief. I find it hard to do anything when I am on a pleasure trip, to be honest. So, I get it. Sometimes you just need to completely relax!
DeleteYou are so disciplined with your yoga.
ReplyDeleteI find exercise, especially outdoors, to be very stressbusting. Lucky you, to be able to exercise with blogfriends, too!
I haven't done much exercise outdoors recently. Hopefully soon I will be able to go for the occasional run or something.
DeleteI'm great with the cardio stuff, but really need to add strength and conditioning.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I tend to put off strength training, too. I might have to tweak my quarterly goals to include more strength training. I just hate it so much! But I don't want my bones breaking down, so I guess I have to do it.
