Wasn’t sure what I wanted to do today. I ended up having a rest yesterday but, ya… I’ve been lazy-ish lately and the day before yesterday, well that Julia WO was just too much for me. I did it but then I was sore and tired and, amazingly, more bitchy. Of course I did it to myself. I could’ve stopped early or picked something easier. BodyWeight HIIT … Continue reading A BodyRock HIIT w/ added equipment & a bit of yoga
Well – I wasn’t sure I was in the mood to work this hard today but the last of the shorter, summer WOs didn’t appeal to me – too many similar moves. There are a lot of repeated moves in this one too. I wasn’t really in the mood to work out hard today at all & this killed me but I did finish. I … Continue reading Full Body CrossFit HIIT – Ooof!!!
Total time was 61min. This was a pretty moderate WO, though by accident I’ve been doing a lot of legs lately and could really feel the first set of tabata pairs. That was really enough for me today. Express Summer Shredder #3 Legs, Glutes, and Abs Pulse Tabata 20/10 4x’s/exercise Sumo Squat Pulses. 8lb vest & Orng Xband Squat Pulses L Lunge Pulses. 8lb vest & 26lb … Continue reading Express Summer Shredder #3 & some easy yoga
This was done recently by “that guy who somehow does one Julia WO per day”. He always shares his choices in the FB group too. The vid is an hour and 20 and he somehow did the routine in 72min, whereas I look at a Julia vid that long & know immediately it’s something I’m unlikely to finish, lol. Course J just uploaded two videos to … Continue reading An adapted section of a Pyramid Shred
I thought I’d start out with the beginning of Astanga & see if I was feeling a whole practice, but I was so tight!! I’ve been neglecting the yoga, lol. Nevertheless an Astanga would’ve been unpleasant & tedious today so I didn’t do it, again. Suryas & fundamentals to the first 3 poses of primary. I used 3lb weights in the standing arches 3-5, that I … Continue reading Restorative Yoga
Wasn’t sure what to do today & this popped up in my recommended. I decided it looked good & basic but I did not go as heavy as I could. Moderate weights feel good right now. PHAT Workout Round 1: 6 Exercises, 3x. Time = 30min. With the intro Julia’s was less than 22min 🙂 1. Weighted Bulgarian Lunge, 12x ea leg. Box set @ 20″, 26lb KB. I’m … Continue reading PHAT Workout, abs burnout & a little yoga
This is an old Julia video from Spring 2016 I’d detailed out a while back but never tried. There’s a ton of kid noise in it, lol, so I knew I wanted to do from a breakdown. Plus there are ten rounds of true tabata. It’s nice to be looking at your own timer to be in position for each working interval. I did this … Continue reading (most of ) Tabata and Strength #7
Wasn’t sure what to do today. Yoga would be good maybe, but I’m starting to accept that I’m not in the mood for Astanga even just once a week these days. Decided to revisit a new version of Michele’s last WO. I did it in the order of the three videos the first time. Today I shaved off one set in order to make sure … Continue reading The Band & BOSU Total Body Workout, 2
One of the best things about this new, short workout series from Julia is that I can get intensity but not be tempted to neglect my yoga. Total time was 1hr, 20min, and it was pretty evenly split between the yoga & the strength training. 30 minute Workout #3: KB Workout Bw Warmup: 30:10 2x 4 minutes @53 1. Frog pumps 2. Leg lift hip ups … Continue reading 30 minute Workout #3 (kettlebells) & yoga
It’s one of those weird, murky, PNW days where the sun never comes fully on. It’s also still nice and chilly! We’ve had a blessedly cool summer so far, even including this first part of August. I’m sure we’ll still get hit with a heat wave or two before rainy season but still. I started out with a “maybe I’ll do an Astanga” and then … Continue reading Rest day! restorative yoga
