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.
(excuse the blurry photo – hard to get a good mirror picture!!)
(both arms are actually supposed to be overhead but that didn’t work to take a picture)
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.
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.
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 –
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.
YIKES!! This move was hard!! Probably why my hamstrings are sore today (2 days later!!).
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.
I love moves like this because while it works the hip of the leg lifting, the standing leg also starts shaking!!!
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.
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!
