Started this w/ no preview. Was having a great time & then looked over at my monitor app before the 2nd set & saw it’d crapped out again. The new battery didn’t fix it. This means that now one of my main motivational tools is gone. Time = 1hr25min. Didn’t stretch at all after.

Wow! I knew this’d be a moderate WO, but it was way more-so than yesterday’s Astanga. I was really sore, in the back, when I first got up today, but in a good way. I worked through some stuff that needed to be “got at”. Good thing I added in 8 intervals of jump rope today tho! LOL. It was fine. The bar is really … Continue reading HIIT, abs and arms & a bit of yoga
Same practice as last time but a much higher rev, even though I didn’t do any jump rope warm-up again. Lately I don’t want any bouncing before yoga. Poses Comments Suryas & Standing Fundamentals w/ standing arches in the 5 Surya As, 3lb hand held weights for 3rd – 5th. Held that last standing backbend longer than again, 5 breaths. Two, 5-breath handstands @ the … Continue reading Astanga! My body told me that’s what it wanted, during my morning meditation earlier
I’m not that motivated lately. In the past, when in this mood, I’d buy some new workout clothes and/or a new piece of equipment. I might take a yoga class in a non Astanga studio, or sign up for circus training. But now? Eh… I could repeat a Summer Shred, just to get the blood moving, but today I don’t really want to bother. I did … Continue reading Looks like it’s another 4-day week
I finally got around to this one! (I ought to have known better than to decide I had a chance of wining an Instagram contest. That’s for people with followers, lol.) Anyway – Yay the battery change seemed to work! Monitor didn’t drop out!!!! It might seem silly, but working out in the buddy-less, gym-less, studio-less, new clothes-less vacuum as I do, tracking my output … Continue reading #TitanUpin30 Week 4 Workout + HIIT & Yoga
I WAS SO SAD 2 SEE MY HR MONITOR HAD CRAPPED OUT AGAIN Midway thru WO. The stats are a prime motivating factor, but I can’t justify replacing the monitor right now. I exercised an hour and 43min. Didn’t stretch at all after b/c no stats. Just occurred to me the battery might need replacing so I’ll try that… Anna’s Birthday Workout Warm-up Bonus: Abs … Continue reading Anna’s Birthday Workout
You know, I was thinking in the first half of this WO that I might prefer it w/ double (or more) of the HIIT and half the burpees. Like… 3 rounds of each pair, for six minutes, and then ten burpees. Or… no reps at all! This is much less psychological and physical work, and was good for me on a day I just wanted … Continue reading (a take on) HIIT Pairs & Burpees by Meghan K, 2nd half
I took another rest day yesterday. Helped with trimming more instead. Went grocery shopping with Charlie… Today’s been a cooking blitz. I made this lemon & almond flour cake… Messed up following the instructions, but it just may be edible, warmed up and with vanilla ice cream, rather than the lemon & confectioners sugar glaze. I made some rice with leftover mushroom stock & veggies … Continue reading Deeply restorative Astanga yoga
Tailoring things to my current level Yesterday I took a rest day… I’d intended to do yoga but so far I can’t get myself to it more than once a week, despite my best intentions. I did take a walk up the hill to Council Crest carrying Theo though. (I’d thought she felt more substantial but no, still only 5.8lbs.) And still I only wanted ½ of a … Continue reading HIIT Pairs & Burpees by Meghan K, pt 1 & some yoga
Finished previewing the HIIT this morning & thought I wasn’t up for it, but then decided to give it a go. Thought I’d worked a lot harder than the stats show! It was good for today. I did a much more thorough stretch than I’d done after Wednesday’s much longer routine. Lower body HIIT I did from breakdown 15/50×38, with a 2.5min break in the … Continue reading Lower Body HIIT & yoga
