Training Recap 4/18 - 4/24:
Monday:
Friday:
Overall, a good week fitness-wise. I have been struggling mentally and am finding that I only feel somewhat okay when I am exercising. I am this scene from Parks & Rec:
My Garmin summary for the week. More miles than last week on the bike again.
This week I have to go to yoga every day to hit 20 classes for the month and be entered in the raffle (or double up on a day which probably won’t work for me). I also plan to bike outside next weekend so I can finally test my new gravel bike.
Monday:
- Yoga: Power Flow (50 min)
- Yoga Pilates Fusion (45 min)
- This was the day of MW Registration, so I feel like my elevated heart rate for 3 hours should also count as a workout.
- Peloton Discover Your Power Zones Program Week 2, Day 2 (45 Minute Power Zone Endurance Ride)— 12 miles
- Peloton 5 Minute Cool Down Ride— 1.1 miles
Friday:
- Walked dog. 15 minutes/.5 miles
- Vinyasa Flow Yoga Class— 30 minutes.
- Peloton Discover Your Power Zones Program Week 2, Day 3 (30 Minute Endurance Ride)— 8.05 miles
- Peloton Discover Your Power Zones Program Week 2, Day 4 (45 Minute Power Zone Endurance Ride)— 12.2 miles… this ride killed me. I don’t know if it’s because I did the 30 minute one before or what but my heart rate was really high the whole time.
- Peloton 5 Minute Cool Down Ride— .94 miles… wasn’t planning on doing this but since my heart rate was so high I decided to. Plus there’s never a bad time to bike to All Too Well (Taylor’s Version).
- Peloton 5 Minute Post-Ride Stretch
- Yoga Deep Stretch Class— 50 min of bliss.
- Peloton 15 Minute Pop Punk Ride— 4.09 miles.
- Peloton Beginner Strength Program Week 4, Day 1– 50 min. We have started adding weights to the program. They recommend 5-10 lbs. I have been using 10 lbs. Dreaded lunges were back, this time with weights. I really enjoyed the bicep curls and tricep extensions though. I forgot how much I enjoy upper body moves.
- Yoga: Power Flow (50 Minutes)… this class killed me. We did 74 chaturanga push ups… not including normal chats in flows. I was sooo sweaty.
- Peloton 15 Minute Low Impact Ride— 4.14 miles. Part of Your World was a song in this class. Therefore, I loved it.
- Peloton Beginner Strength Program Week 4, Day 2- 50 min. 10 lb weights again. These are probably not heavy enough because only the chest flys really felt somewhat hard. Felt good despite the really hard yoga class earlier today.
