Happy Monday, friends! Can you believe we’re in the last week of September? It hardly seems possible. School has already been in session for seven weeks and I’m finding myself planning out the rest of this grading period before it sneaks up on me. Craziness! In the midst of all this craziness, I’ve found myself struggling a bit to “fit it all in.” Can you relate to that?
So many of us have SO much on our plates these days. Between work, family obligations, health and fitness, and trying to maintain a social life, “it all” can seem a bit overwhelming. Every now and then, it’s ok to take a step back and say “something’s gotta give.” Do what you’ve gotta do to best take care of yourself, and depending on your season of life, that can look different for you than it did a year ago, a month ago, or even last week. As they say–YOU do YOU! If that means taking an extra rest day, leaving work a few minutes early, or saying NO to an invitation, that’s OK!
Now, onto last week’s workouts. How did you stay active this week?

Sunday was a rest day due to our being out of town for the weekend. We had a wonderful breakfast with family and then headed home to do all of our “Sunday things.”

Monday was LEG DAY and it was a serious one that left me sore for days. It really was nothing crazy, but sometimes those traditional movements give you the most bang for your buck.

Upper body with cardio bursts mixed in had me gasping for air by the end. Between burpees and kettlebell swings, my heart rate was through the roof! I added in a little bit of glute work as well.
Wednesday, 09/19/18:
I worked chest and shoulders and had planned for a run, but that didn’t happen. This was the first week of September (see my September Intentions!) that I didn’t fit in a run, and I’m not too disappointed by it. (Remember that chat about fitting it all in?)

Rest day.

Friday held back, biceps, and a little bit of plyometrics. The perfect start to a Friday morning!

Cardio conditioning in the form of crabs, squat jacks, fast feet, and then some, as well as more glute work was on deck for Saturday. The “conditioning” part was so real as I found myself dripping with sweat! It was great to get in a good weekend sweat though.
