February 2026 Accountability Buddy

Sunday, February 1
30-minute leg workout (Caroline Girvan - Epic day 37) - I used two five-pound weights for this. I found the reverse plank lifts impossible unless I used both legs, so that's something to work on. I could probably go heavier, but I'm really working on form with my bad leg. 
15-minute yoga for legs, hips, and hamstrings

10-minute office life stretch - I don't know if I'd recommend this since you don't hold the poses long enough to get a good stretch.

30-minute stretch for back and hips - Look, I gotta be honest. I found this was nearly impossible for my shoulder. I mean, it did get at my hips, but the real reason this video was uncomfortable was my shoulders. 

Saturday, February 7
60-minute hike in the woods with Dr. BB

Sunday, February 8
25-minute shoveling - it was not much, maybe a half inch to an inch - but it needed to get moved off the driveway and sidewalk because it was hiding ice underneath
30-minute low impact full body cardio workout
30-minute fluid yoga flow - This was more challenging than I would normally do. I did some modifications.

35-minute no jumping tabata workout - perfect workout for staying in the fat burning zone

Wednesday, February 25

30-minute trampoline class after work - I'd never done this before. It was fun! I was super amazed at how little my bad leg hurt. I think I will want to do this again in the future.
