This week has been a much stronger week of workouts! I’m hoping to start getting in a few mega runs soon!!!
Sunday 1/11 – 45 supine rolls, great for your core and also your upper back.

I got in a 6 mile run (45:01) at a faster pace than I had been running for awhile followed by an easy mile.
Monday 1/12 – 45 double knee in to a full body extension with arms extended.

I did a DVD that I don’t do often but it really is a good one – MashUp Conditioning. This DVD has 7 different workouts (called Tempos) that are 15 minutes each. Each segment has strength, HIIT, core. I did Tempos 5,6 and 7.
Tuesday 1/13 – 45 plies with heels up.
![easy part](http://day-with-kt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/DSCN2676-1024x768.jpg)

I always love the feeling in my inner thighs when I do plies!!!
I ran 10 miles!!! (75:33) I finished off the workout with an easy mile.
Wednesday 1/14 – 45 step-up to knee, step down and lunge back. This move is similar to one that Josie (YumYucky) did – stairless step climbing.
![step up with left leg](http://day-with-kt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/DSCN2680-1024x768.jpg)

![step down and lunge back with the left leg](http://day-with-kt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/DSCN2679-1024x768.jpg)
After I did 45 like that and had shaky legs, I switched the whole pattern for another set!!

Fun move – and my heart rate really got up since it is all lower body work.
I did one of my 10 Minute Solution DVDs – Tone Trouble Zones. This workout uses a band –
![the green one for this workout](http://day-with-kt.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/DSCN0622-1024x768.jpg)
and is very effective.
I also walked 2.45 miles with a 10% incline (had some DVRed shows to catch up on!!).
Thursday 1/15 – 45 single leg bridges with one leg crossed over the other and the supporting foot on a stability ball. This move is from Nellie’s (Brooklyn Active Mama) weekly Wednesday workout.

![up and squeeze](http://day-with-kt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/DSCN2685-1024x768.jpg)
YIKES!! This move was hard!! Probably why my hamstrings are sore today (2 days later!!).
![have to work both sides](http://day-with-kt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/DSCN2686-1024x768.jpg)
![squeeze and lift](http://day-with-kt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/DSCN2687-1024x768.jpg)
This was another day of running – 8 miles in 59:37 followed by 1.75 easy miles.
Friday 1/16 – 45 side leg abduction with band.
![ready to lift the right leg](http://day-with-kt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/DSCN2688-1024x768.jpg)
![lift and hold](http://day-with-kt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/DSCN2689-1024x768.jpg)
I love moves like this because while it works the hip of the leg lifting, the standing leg also starts shaking!!!
![ready for the other leg](http://day-with-kt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/DSCN2690-1024x768.jpg)
![lift - hold!!](http://day-with-kt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/DSCN2691-1024x768.jpg)
I don’t know if you can tell but while I lifted my leg I also pulled on the band for some extra resistance.
I did Denise Austin’s Personal Training System. This is a full body workout with about 20 minutes of cardio followed by 10 minutes of lower body, 10 minutes upper body, 10 minutes core and 10 minutes of stretching.
Saturday 1/17 – 45 bow lifts.
![easy part](http://day-with-kt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/DSCN2693-1024x768.jpg)
![lift chest and legs (knees off ground!)](http://day-with-kt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/DSCN2692-1024x768.jpg)
Pretty sure this is the first time I’ve ever done any of the pictures in our bedroom – I have to stay out of the light today and this room is one of the best choices.
Overall this was a really good week of workouts. I’m still incorporating a lot of the moves from physical therapy into my workouts – just amping them up a little. And, my running speed is starting to pick back up!! Now I think I’m ready to slowly increase my mileage again!!
Happy Saturday!
