March 2022
Let’s try this again! My workouts were very sporadic last month. I did some spin, a few slim series and a few easier Barlates but nothing really stuck.

Cdorner Fitness Cardio Kickboxing (30) and Mobility Flow (30)
1.
CDorner Fitness Step and Strength w/ bands (40) + 20 minutes of Nikki Carlson may using the Balance ring and Pilates ball The step portion was 20 minutes of basic but quick step, almost all low impact then 20 minutes of upper body using a short loop. The step was fun and I enjoyed the music too! I liked Nikki’s mat work a lot. It was slower and interesting. I like using the Pilates ball between my knees.

Nikki Carlson hype & Tone 2/23 I wore sneakers for the first cardio section, I know that any impact with bare feet will set off my PF. Nikki uses the small ball, balance ring, and the step just for flute bridge work. I didn’t hold weights for the cardio, no ankle weights either. I’m not trying to kill myself this month, I just want to get something consistent going. I did put on wrist weights for the mat section. The mat section was slow and intentional. Perfect for me with my mods. I do feel like these workouts are a little light on the cardio, which I need to build up. I love Yvette’s workouts for that but she was aggravating my foot. Hopefully I’ll be walking outside soon!

Naomi Joy Rebounder Recovery workout 35 minutes of intervals of of bouncing and light bodyweight exercises followed by an almost 10 minute stretch. It felt like a workout for me today. Sunday night I got my second Shingrix shot and my arm was actually less sore than my first. Monday morning I walked with my daughter and I felt pretty good but I thought she was walking a lot faster than usual. I just thought she’s been walking more lately and she’s a lot taller than me. That should have been the indicator. Did some errands, came home and I felt like I got hit by a truck!! Spent the afternoon napping and laying down. I feel a lot better today and I’m still happy because I’m terrified of getting shingles.

Yvette Fit #28 – 60 Minute – Cardio Kickboxing BIG LEGS + Mady Morrison 15 min full body stretch I resubscribed to Yvette now that my foot is feeling better. I’d love to get my cardio endurance back and Yvette’s workouts are a fun way to make that happen. This went a little over an hour and I did stay lighter on the weights, I used my 12s and 15s. I modified if I had too, but not really that much and I even did the ankle weight aerobic section. I treated myself to a longer stretch!
11.
Nikki Carlson 2/23 Still not using ankle weights. I used 1s and 4s, a medium tension loop, step and sliders. The toughest section was a thruster with hand on the step, leg up, jump up into a low squat holding the 4s (for me) together, knee to the side, curtsy back, knee back to the side, back to low squat then thruster. Nikki does do it deliberately but it got my heart rate up.
12.
#67 – 60 Minute – Step Metabolic Workout I picked a moderate Yvette today and I used one riser on my step just like the class. Sweaty but most of the impact in this is from jumping jacks, no burpees either. Shoulder heavy.
13.
Hamelin Inch Loss 17.1 last 45 min I have two Hamelin Inch loss courses, 1 and 17. I bought the 90 min version of course 17, it’s structured with all the cardio in the first half and all toning in the second half. This one starts with standing obliques and goes to mat. Donkey kicks, fire hydrants, then side lying clams. Finishes up with abs on the back. Every move is simple but he does most for 2 minutes each. I debated wearing ankle weights because it looked easy but after a minute it really burns! Nice meditative workout that really went by quickly. I always wonder why I don’t do more Hamelin, I could do the cardio before work and the toning after. I did this workout in my PJs.
14.
119 – 45 Minute – Moderate Impact Cardio/Plank Walkouts Mashup! I knew I had done this one before but it really felt hard this time! I ditched my weighted gloves about 10 mins into the workout too. It seemed like a good idea, lots of plank moves circuit style but it was a little out of my range right now. I did the whole thing, modified a little bit. Yvette is by herself in this one so it feels a little less fun. When I looked at my notes from last time (June ‘21) I thought it was hard then too. It makes me feel better!!
15.
Kaylie Daniels 45 min Yoga Sculpt I’m really liking 45 min workouts this week with the time change! Kaylie uses 3s and 5s, I used 3s, 4s, and 5s. I also used ankle weights instead oh having a weight behind my knee. No cardio in this but I was sweating. I know I’m not in yoga shape (or any other shape
) but I’m hoping to get back there. I felt great after this workout and just modified where I needed or dropped the weight to a lighter one.

2 mile walk + Kaylie Daniels 45 min Sculpt and Flow

Yvette Fit #69 30 min Moderate impact Kickboxing + KD 45 min Sculpt and Flow I’m really loving these Kaylie yoga-ish workouts! I feel so good after. I’m definitely not in yoga shape right now but I just do my best. The Sculpt and Flows are no equipment, bodyweight work in a yoga flow and they’re really waking up my core. Kaylie really does a great job of layering on the intensity and blending the strength work into a yoga flow.

Barlates HiiT Combinations I didn’t have time for a long workout but this got me sweaty. I wasn’t moving at Linda’s pace but I did it. This workout used to be an easier day for me and it felt hard today!
22.
Yvette Fit 175 – 65 Minute – All Out Cardio Kickboxing Workout (30 min) + 30 min Kaylie Daniels Sculpt and Flow I feel a lot stronger with Kaylie’s workouts, getting my chatarunga back but Yvette still feels tough.

Rest My last a day of vacation and my travel day. I feel pretty good that I was active all week and got in a couple of workouts. Even though I indulged at happy hour or dinner I tried to stick to one meal a day. It was nice to spend a week with my husband! We definitely don’t spend as much time together as we would like with our current work schedules.

Cathe live #384 Arms, Legs, Core and More I really enjoyed this Live, it had a lot of variety. Lots of bicep and triceps alternating with legs. There’s some shoulder work and chest but not a ton. Core with the stability ball is sprinkled throughout. Cathe uses the green bootie band, and a step too. I mostly stuck with Cathe’s weights, went lighter for biceps and rear delts. Not the hardest workout but enjoyable.
31.
Cdorner 30 min fast basic step + Kaylie Daniels 35 min Sculpt and Flow I really enjoyed this step workout, it moved fast but there’s only a touch of jumping, and I the choreography was simple but not boring. Kaylie killed me from the get go it’s her plank sequence and she finished with a core sequence that I had to modify.
