A holiday week! And I'm so excited for Thanksgiving this year - and for the time away from work. I really need quality time with family.
At the start of this week, I had no idea how my workouts would work. We would just play it by ear...
Monday: Cathe's Upper Body Challenge with Ball + walk + YWA
This was a good upper body workout - though I did have to fast-forward bits in order to fit in all the muscle groups. I was able to do some of the band work, which I like. For some reason, those band exercises get me in ways that weights do not. At lunch, I walked at the rec center and planked. Every minute being active this week is a good, good thing! And after work, this YWA was a bit too short - so I did some of my own salutations afterward.
Tuesday: Cathe's Long and Strong Legs + walk
Another older Cathe workout - and this one is unique! There is no class in this video, just Cathe. She led a great workout, though, and my legs were burning! I skipped a bit of the weighted work in order to do more barre at the end. And I loved that! Barre works those muscles in very different ways and I wish I did it more often. At lunch, I walked - in a near deserted rec center - and did sit-ups. A good day!
Wednesday: Cathe's Kickboxing and Compound Weights
This was a fun workout. I did all of the kickboxing and a bit of the weights before I had to quit. The kickboxing was fun, though I wish there had been more kicking and less heavy bag work. My heart rate stayed pretty high and I felt like I got a good workout. I went light for the weighted work since my muscles were tired. After work, we headed out of town for the holiday so no additional workouts.
Thursday: REST
Happy Thanksgiving!
Friday: walk
We were still out of town this day. It was a family day so I only took 30 minutes, first thing in the morning, to walk outside. I walked very briskly, since it was cold and then stretched. Still, I managed to hurt my shins. WTH?!
Saturday: Cathe's ICE Total Body Compound Live + Dozois' Peak 10 Cardio Strength Remix
Today, back from the holiday away, I wanted to do my scheduled workout from Friday....and Saturday. So, I did 25 minutes of Cathe's ICE live workout - all weighted compound exercises...and then 20 minutes of Michelle's CS. It was a good combination and I felt thoroughly worked out. I had to go a bit lighter with weights - because I felt a bit out of it. After a good stretch, I was done and ready to work on Christmas decorations!
Sunday: Cathe's Boxing with Leg Blasts Live + abs
My legs were aching - throbbing - from yesterday's workout as I attempted today's torture session. Thankfully, the boxing required little legs - but more than I thought. This one was very similar to the boxing in Wednesday's workout. But it was still fun. After 35 minutes, Cathe went into leg blasts - cardio leg move, weighted leg move, repeat, repeat. That was painful. After 10 minutes of that, I quit to do some ab work and stretch. The rest of the day was painful, thanks to all this leg torture.
