How is this the end of week 4 already? I feel like this streak just started and I was (Pre)#FitStreaking…You know what that also means? Summer is nearing it’s end. This is one summer I am ready to be done with though. It’s been so blasted hot (although not this past week) that it’s been such a waste. Hopefully we are rewarded with a nice fall! Here is how I kept active these past 7 days:
Monday: 3 mile run + Physique 57
Tuesday: 2 mile run + 15 min lower body DVD from Jackie Warner
Wednesday: Physique 57
Thursday: 2 mi run + Ripped in 30 with Jillian Michaels + 30 min Physique 57
Friday: 2 mile walk
Saturday: 5k that I owe a recap on!!
Sunday: 22 mile bike ride + 30 day shred
I’ve also been going well with my #plankaday goal! Nothing super long and noteworthy but just trying to build my core strength one day at a time!
Physique 57 is kicking my butt, literally. I’m thinking it’s going to finally be an awesome option for cross training for running though! It works all those muscles you don’t realize you have with zero impact and very little cardio. It says to try to do the DVDs 3-4 days per week so I’ve been trying to fit that much in for a few weeks to see if I can feel the change. I’m still feeling like an inflexible cow though… I have no idea what happened to me. I used to be rather flexible and now can hardly reach my toes?!? I know I babied my back after I hurt it and I think by doing so, I have completely messed with my lower back flexibility which impacts so many stretches. Grrrr…..
I guess this streak is officially over?? But I think I will keep going for a few more weeks or maybe longer? What’s 20 minutes, right?
Tomorrow is the last official day of Fit Streak! I’m with you in considering extending the Streak, though. I like doing something on my rest days–even if it’s just an ab workout or a slow walk to help the legs recover a little.
I love seeing the runs you have listed–the shoes and the Stick and the bike and your cross training must all be helping!
