Sculpt, Weights & Walking
Day 5 - Day 18
I did not forget about the daily updates! I’ve been working out daily and doing my best to hit my food goals. Today I finally have time to do an update here so let’s get into it.
First of all, I can not express how much I love the sculpt classes on Peloton. Emma and Greta are both incredible instructors for this modality. Greta’s face paced yoga sculpt class was such an incredible burn. I was dripping in sweat. I love it when a class humbles me and her classes do just that. It’s brutal going through it but so so fun at the same time. Use light light weights. I used 5lb dumbbells today and I hated myself for it.
The Jodeci ride was also a memorable workout. The bike isn’t my favorite but a good playlist will get me to hop on every time. I muted the instructor as much as I could. I really wish they would offer music only rides that are still instructor led. Can’t they put the cues in subtitles on the screen? No? Yes? Seems like a good idea to me.
Peloton Jodeci Ride
This whole update feels like a Peloton ad and I kind of hate that, lol. Anyway. The HiLit upper/lower body days are TEA. I can feel the muscles that we’ve worked on the next day in a gentle tender way. Got to admit I’m not the biggest fan of her pilates classes in the program. Those are the days that I insert sculpt with Emma or Greta.
The girls may have been right.
Lifting heavy, pilates/sculpt and walking might be the most enjoyable split.
So far this month I have learned a lot about where I am in my fitness journey. I’m definitely a get up early and do it kind of girl now. Eating about 4-5 meals a day seems to be doable for me. Drinking shakes has helped fill in my plates on days when I’m too busy or lazy.
The next thing that I’d like to work on is recovery. I feel like I never have time to do a full proper stretch. My dream is honestly a good workout followed by a deep stretch and a nice long sit in the sauna. I’ll get there eventually. Today I’m happy that my step count is up and that my strength routine feels like one I am actually enjoying.
On that note, it is time to buy new walking/running shoes. I am tired of buying things, lol. I’ll share some of the shoes I want to try in tomorrow’s update.
