45-minute "run" - Look, I'm in Michigan and this seemed like the easiest thing to do, but it turns out that it was too hot for me, so I ended up walking for a lot of this.

15-minute full body stretch

Saturday, July 12
45-minute yoga for tight hips - This was definitely a "your mind wants to give up before your body" type of practice

Sunday, July 13
30-minute full body strength and conditioning
25-minute yin fascia release yoga - This lady was too into "your body's power source" and the "next level of present." That's not my jam, but it might be yours.

Saturday, July 26
45-minute lazy yin yoga - I'm beat. I just needed a day where I didn't push much. 

Sunday, July 27
50-minute hot, sweaty yardwork - Functional fitness for the win, I guess?

*****************
*Our local healthcare organization does free stretch classes virtually three times a week. Sign up here! It's free. It's fun. We regularly talk about candy and what's for lunch. It's a delightful break in the middle of the day. You do not have to have your camera on. 
*****************
I didn't quite get to my 80% goal because of days traveling and whatnot, but I feel pretty good about these numbers based on everything going on in my life.

What's the last really good workout you did?

  1. 74% is great no matter what- but extra great with other hard things going on. Consistency is key, and you're nailing it.

  4. We went on a 9 km family hike today that was great. I also did a cardio pilates video the other day. It was short (like 10 minutes), but I was drenched in sweat. It was mostly squats and my legs are still killing me, but I could tell it was effective. So I guess there is a bit of a love/hate feeling on my part!
