How I’m Feeling This Week
I feel like I’ve been saying this over and over, but I feel so strong. I also just feel good. I feel good. I look good. I’m liking the changes I’m seeing in my mood and my body. They say other people start to notice around week 6 of working out so we’ll see if anyone close to me notices my body changing.
Workouts I did
Monday: Y6 Sculpt & Flow
This was a 6am class and I was one of the last people to show up. (I’m so bad at hearing my alarm. Luckily my husband tapped me.) I loved the playlist and the workout! It was so much fun.
Wednesday: Lagree at home lower body and core
This was way harder than Solidcore. I don’t know if it’s because I was alone in a room instead of super load music and a coach yelling at me but I really struggled.
Also, to add context, when I was working out the first time after my first child, my husband bought me a lagree machine, which is very similar (in my opinion) to Svetlana. I’ve only used it a handful of time, but I was very grateful to have it this day. I see myself using it more often now that I’ve proven to myself I can just hop on and do it.
Friday: [ solidcore ] inner thighs and back
The inner thighs workouts are killer. I’m feeling muscles I didn’t even know existed during these exercises.
Total workouts this week: 3 classes
Goal for next week: 4 classes
Pelvic Floor & Core Check-In
During oblique exercises at Solidcore my hips were killing me. It’s not my hip bone. I feel like it’s a tendon or something. I noticed the day after my class, I was limping if I stepped a certain way because I’d get a super sharp pain. I only felt it on my knees though. If I moved up to my feet during the exercises, it didn’t bother my hips.
Real Moment from this Week
I was so sore from the Sculpt & Flow class that I canceled my Tuesday morning barre class. Then I went ahead and just canceled Solidcore on Wednesday since it was Christmas Eve and I didn’t feel like going to a 6am class on Christmas Eve.
Small Win
Even though I canceled 2 classes this week, I squeezed in time for a home workout on Christmas Eve before family came to visit!!
What I’m Working on Next Week
I’m going to work on preventing hip pain during obliques. It’s a problem when my obliques aren’t the obstacle in an exercise, but my hips are what are causing me to take lots of breaks. (Not that breaks are bad. It’s just annoying that the targeted area isn’t the one causing the fatigue.)
Thanks for following along, see you next Friday!
How was your Christmas/Holiday?
