Well, here I go again, falling behind on posting LAST week’s workouts. I’ll be honest, blogging hasn’t been as much of a priority recently, as much as I would like it to be and initially thought I would have all this extra time to devote to it. Between my two grad school classes and trying […]
Workout Roundup: March 30th
Wow! It is nearly the end of the week and I haven’t posted last week’s workouts yet. Let’s just say, I haven’t experienced any sort of “boredom” during this pandemic pause that we are all currently in. The week just got away from me. As did my workouts. I’m a firm believer in listening to […]
Workout Roundup: March 23rd
Another week full of at-home workouts. I am starting to get into a groove with this new routine. My strength workouts only tend to be around 20 minutes long, so I always try to follow them up with a run or walk. Most of the time… LOL! Monday Tuesday Wednesday I started the day with […]
Workout Roundup: March 16th
Wow! What an interesting week it has been! I started off with gym workouts early on, but then the gym closed due to COVID-19 and I had to get creative with in-home workouts using dumbbells (I only have a pair of 10s right now) and resistance bands. And lots of walking. I’m trying to get […]
Uncharted territory
So. We are in the midst of COVID-19 “social distancing”. It has been one week now since schools have closed. We don’t know how long this will last. We don’t know what to expect. We are in a time of uncertainty and uncharted territory. And it can be a little scary. Or a lot scary, […]
Workout Roundup: March 9th
What a week it has been! I needed to do a bit of self-care this week and spent most of the time walking and hiking and being outdoors. I went to the gym twice to lift. Who knows what will happen in the next few days! So far, the gyms in Virginia remain open, but […]
Workout Roundup: March 2nd
It was a busy week, but I got a few workouts in. We were traveling over the weekend so I took that time to just rest. Always necessary. 🙂 Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday OFF. Friday Weekend Do what makes you happy.
If you want balance, join the circus
I have been struggling with this idea of balance. Living a “balanced” life. Is it really achievable? Or is it an unrealistic concept? I was listening to a podcast (Spartan Up!) the other day that talked about this concept. Spartan founder Joe De Sena was interviewing entrepreneur Raul Villacis who said “If you want balance, […]
Workout Roundup: February 24th
Staying consistent! Woohoo! Here is this week’s workouts: Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday OFF. I had a deep tissue massage Wednesday night and always take the next day off. Friday Running intervals: 30 secs: Jog, 30 secs: Sprint, 30 secs: Jog, 30 secs: Walk. Saturday & Sunday I took it easy this weekend. We live on […]
High-quality source of solitude…
As I was driving on my way to work earlier this week, I noticed the pedestrians and commuters. And what I noticed is that almost every single one of them had ear buds in their ears. OK. I get this. Especially when it’s a busy street. You’re on your way to work, pumping yourself up […]
