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.

*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?
74% is great no matter what- but extra great with other hard things going on. Consistency is key, and you're nailing it.
ReplyDeleteWell, consistency went off the rails in August, so I guess 74% is looking great.
DeleteGreat job, Engie! I had a good workout this morning :)
ReplyDeleteDo you ever have bad workouts? You seem like the perpetually sunny exercise doer type.
DeleteExcellent job, as always!
ReplyDeleteWe 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!
ReplyDeleteLeg days can be real killers. You can feel them for days afterwards.
DeleteI have been slacking with my strength a little lately.
ReplyDeleteEarlier this week I did an interval walking exercise that sounded easy but turned out to be rather exhausting. Maybe it was because of a migraine stretch for days. But I felt good doing it and was very proud.
Ugh. I can't imagine having to factor in migraines and exercise. Good on you for trying.
