Postpartum Fitness Fridays Week 7: Showing up for myself

Starting the week with an early morning Sunday workout was great. I planned a surprise party for my mother-in-law the Saturday night before, and if I wasn’t meeting a friend at this class, you already know I would’ve canceled!

But I didn’t. I set my alarm. I woke up. I showed up.

If I’m being honest, I don’t think I’ll go again next Sunday. My friend will be out-of-state, and it was kind of a lot to workout 2 days in a row.

I didn’t give myself any sort of break. Anyone who doesn’t practice yoga thinks that it is easy. I had the same bias.

Listen to me and listen close. YOGA WORKOUTS ARE ONE OF MY HARDEST WORKOUTS EACH WEEK.

The 2 yoga classes I took this week were both heated. They were both more advanced. I felt behind the whole time, but I got such a good workout in.

I focused on my breath and movement. I made sure I was getting the most out of the class as I possibly could. And trust me. I got it.

I ended the week the way I started with my bestie: solidcore. Somehow, the times worked out that I was working the same muscle groups, but they had different coaches so it wasn’t the same workout twice.

Both coaches were pro coaches which I highly highly highly recommend taking. The flow of these made so much sense to my body and both were great with the instructions.

I noticed the Sunday coach was very hands-on correction, and the Friday evening coach was more verbal.

I ended the week feeling strong but sore. I’m noticing the muscles in my arms and shoulders. I’m liking what I see. No one around me has mentioned me looking different, but I see it and that’s all that matters.

Workouts I completed:

Sunday: solidcore signature50 hamstrings and triceps

Monday: Yoga Sculpt & Flow

Wednesday: Yoga Power Flow

Friday: solidcore Signature50 hamstrings and arm wrap
