It’s really chilly here in Podunk, on Memorial Day Weekend! Yesterday I got on the 9am bus to go meet my friend H for breakfast. I was wearing this small, thin T-shirt and a jacket shirt thing. I walked out the door & immediately back inside to grab a scarf, hat, and jean jacket. And today’s even cooler! The outside temperatures aren’t ideal for yoga … Continue reading Yoga on a chilly Memorial Day Weekend
I hadn’t done a Julia WO in quite some time & was exhausted today. To bed at midnight & awake around 5:30, with the kitties. I had to get one in though. Yesterday I dutifully attended something & then didn’t feel like getting to my exercise later. Took an hour and ten minutes, even with rearranging my equipment all the time, which is necessary in … Continue reading HIIT & Challenge Reps by Julia and Kristin
Amazingly I got all the things done yesterday, even though I was so tired. This included making a kick-ass spinach lasagna, which we shared with the kidz. That means an exciting lunch today, so I decided to exercise early. “The dead one was probably the Fold.” Ya… thanks. Much appreciated, not that I’m surprised by emotionally abusive comments like that anymore. “Well if you only want … Continue reading Jump rope & Abs, 2
Man, I am beat today. I didn’t want to do any of the things I’d promised to do today, aside from the designing. I sooooo get into deadlines. I’m a victim of my own, firmly entrenched tendencies toward degeneracy. That and the vocalizing of a somewhat anxious, first-time momma cat. I seriously think she’s already back in heat already & is, not surprisingly, royally confused. … Continue reading September Jackhammer Challenge & yoga
Moderate but effective WO today. Workout starts @6:12. Lisa can really fake you out. You think she’s going to hit start & then she starts on a tangent, lol. Anyway I was busy today so I didn’t have time to preview & detail it out, but she describes it in the preliminary chat as mostly pure cardio. I figured if I wanted more I could … Continue reading 40min HIIT, some thigh work & yoga
Got a small freelance project Friday & was busy with that all day so didn’t get to my WO. Was working again all morning into the afternoon today. I got to a good stopping point & decided to take a break & enjoy the spring day out back a little. Didn’t want to spend any time looking for or previewing another WO so decided to … Continue reading Total Body HIIT Circuit – 2
Time = 1hr, 48min. I didn’t do the setu bandhasana additions, mainly b/c I was thinking of copping out of ticks. I thought I’d do the easier poses after that, maybe, but moved onto finishing automatically. That’s fine tho I had a long enough practice. Continue reading Astanga, so-so but therapeutic
I was so happy to see the preview pop up on Insta today & was hoping it’d be uploaded before my WO time. I didn’t have time to preview more than the first circuit. It’s funny how I often tend to take things opposite of the norm. In Astanga, you weren’t supposed to do any warm-up or (a more apt description) “preliminaries”. I always ignored … Continue reading Total Body HIIT Circuit – full workout – 1
Ended up having a rather morose rest day, yesterday & then I saw this had been posted. I’m finding Velvet Hammer to be in line with what my body wants & needs lately. Also MCW (My Crazy Workout). Perhaps if I get access to things like heavier weights & barbells I’ll move in that direction again, but I’m not sure. Even with the heaviest I … Continue reading Lower Body Tabata 1
Total time = 1hr, 7min. Ending room temp 81. 45 Minute Strength, Cardio & Abs Full Body Home Workout I did a lot of my own thing during the warm-up, but I was moving along w/ the video. @5:50 1. Single Arm Snatch (L). 26lbs KB (did a clean & press) 2. Side Slip + Jump, (duck under & tuck jump) 3. Single Arm Snatch (R) 4. … Continue reading Moderate WO – a HIIT set & some easy yoga
