This Week in Workouts: All Mixed Up

This last week in workouts was a bit more mixed up than usual, but it sure did workout (pun intended) great! There was plenty of yoga and a new workout or two as well. I am still in search of the studio where I would like to complete my yoga teacher certification, but feel like I'm getting closer. What would be the best is if my hot yoga studio had teacher training, but alas, they do not.

This week I will be trying a new aerial yoga location that has teacher training and certifies for hot yoga as well! Their curriculum seems like the most intense yet, and that kind of makes me like them all the more. I cannot wait to try this place out, everything seems great about it, except when the actual teacher training is... Some things may have to be changed around to get it to work, so we will see!

Sunday: Rest day where we went to a wonderful seafood place that we tend to go once a year and I gorge myself on all things food!

Monday: 4.5 mile run followed by headstand work to work off Sunday's gluttony.

Tuesday: Rest day

Wednesday: This incredible 20-minute workout that I will be doing again and again and again, followed by aerial yoga with my sister-in-law. Aerial yoga alone is great, but it is way better with friends! The pic above was taken by Melody after class. Side note: both of these together made my bum sore for days!

Thursday: 3-mile jog followed by headstand work

Friday: The Cassey Ho Legs on Fire workout followed by this core yoga flow and then more Tara Stile inversion work intermediate and advanced. All of these were great and the core flow made me feel like a baby seal flosping around on the floor- still deciding whether that is good are bad.

Saturday: Nutrition Ella's workout of the week which was fantastic and I finished in just over 17:30 followed by Cassey Ho's Hard Core Ab Workout. Will be doing Nutrition Ella's again for sure!!!

This Week in Workouts

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope that your weekend has been fantastic and that any of those in this Polar Vortex have managed to stay toasty warm around a wonderful fire. This week has been (yet another) yoga-centric week. Thankfully though, it seems like I have finally kicked whatever has been making me feel like complete crap and am now looking forward to a super great next week filled with lots of fun catch-up work and reading and cardio! I have also come to the conclusion that running more than 4-miles on a treadmill is physically impossible since I will die of boredom before 4.1 hits. This means that the next couple of weeks will be filled with outdoor running and explorations of great jogging spots in my area.

Yesterday was also my Mom's birthday, so, happy birthday Mom!

Since this last week was half spent feeling great and half spent not, the week was a bit lighter on the jogging but overflowed in the fun department with about a billion workouts that I have never done before. The best part is that I absolutely loved almost all of them!

Sunday:  My first ever aerial yoga class where I was super stoked about being able to complete all the inversion posses. Whoop Whoop!

Monday: This tabata workout by Pumps and Iron, except, I only did 8 reps of each. If you are not quite sure what tabata is, you can read all about it here.

Tuesday: Rest Day

Wednesday: 2.5-mile run followed by a bridge workout that I will have to post sometime soon... Ohh, buns so sore!!!

Thursday: The Ballet Bum workout followed by part I and part II of Tara Stiles' Intense Cardio Workout. Funny, but it has been a week or so since doing the ballet bum workout and I forgot how sore it made me! Loved both of these together!!!

Friday: Rest Day

Saturday: This Snapguide Workout for the core by Glenn Hole and the 200 Reps Abs Core Power Yoga Vinyasa by Ali K. Both of these were fantastic! Glenn's workout was a great warm-up and a fantastic intro core workout for those new to core workouts. Doing Ali's 200 reps for core after this was fantastic, although I did feel it more in my legs and arms by the end.
