a healthy balance

Monday: Run-5 miles, elliptical-25 min

Tuesday: Run- 6 miles, Strength Train- Core Crunch (NTC) 15 min

Wednesday: Nothing, but I met my new Hiking Group! :D

Thursday: Run-4.5 miles, Core Exercises-Sofia Boutella Fearless (NTC) 15 min

Friday: Run-6.5 miles with hills!

Saturday: Road Biking! (Bet you didn’t see that one coming)- 13 miles,

Super Bowl Sunday: Run- 8.2 miles

Notes: Running is my weapon of choice. I would switch up my cardio more if I wasn’t trying to see if I can finish training for a March marathon. (I got up to 17 miles, got hurt, and now recovered but not in the best shape). Cycling was really fun on Saturday though. Biking fast out on the road makes me feel so adventurous…and scared at times.

Other things I’m doing:

On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have Modern Dance and Hatha Yoga. My modern dance class is awesome! It’s energetic, synergistic, and creative too. We warm-up, move across the move, learn new moves, and practice combos to a variety of music. My Hatha yoga class is quite boring right now with a lot of relaxation poses, but it’s still fun to be in a class and beneficial to work on basics. I’m not going to lie though, I’d kinda rather be in the Cardio Kickboxing class next door…

Wednesday afternoons, I have an Outdoor Education Class where we go hiking at different locations around northern California. We’ll even camp in Yosemite one weekend! So excited about this class. My instructor is super intense about fitness. His motivation to exercise everyday is so he can have as many WOW experiences as possible. He’s traveled to and seen such amazing sites that are “reserved for the physically fit” so he wants to keep in shape to be able to reach all these locations. Makes sense to me!
