This Week In Workouts: The Christmas Rush

by Jenni in Fitness

Man, this week was busy. I managed to fit in five workouts, and that is something I am quite proud of. In this past week we have had a disposal break, our AC break (needed for a Florida Christmas), a toilet break, the cat's litter box break, and our AC break again. We also had three holiday parties, one of which was at our home. We have made it out and now have AC and a fixed toilet... everything else will be done before Christmas... Hopefully.

Since this week went a little hay wire, I was not able to make it to a hot yoga class (tear), but was able to get some new yoga flows in and continue work on the elusive full compass pose.

Sunday: Simple, 20-minute yoga flow.

Monday: 3.5 mile jog followed by ten Sun Salutation Push-ups... Will have to make a post about those sometime soon!

Tuesday: This yoga flow by Tara Stiles for weight loss and balance followed by compass poses and headstands. I loved this flow and found that it did really help prepare me to push farther for compass and headstands!

Wednesday: Rest day, party night!

Thursday: 2-mile warm-up jog followed by this Full-Body Superset Workout by Pumps and Iron. I am not a massive fan of supersets, but as far as they go, this one was pretty great! There was definitely some soreness in the arms and legs on Friday!

Friday: Ali K's Hot Yoga Warm-Up. I figured this would have to be my consolation for not taking a hot yoga class this week. I was right. This sequence had me dripping with sweat less than halfway through. It also helped calm my mind and get me ready for the super fun week ahead!

Saturday: Rest Day!
