Week of workouts – The Fitnessista
Sharing a glimpse of how I structure my weekly workouts.
Hiiiii! How are you? I hope you’re having an amazing morning! We’re at Disneyland today and I can’t wait to ride all of the rides, eat Disney treats, and enjoy some fun memories with my favorite people.
While I won’t be getting in any *official* workouts this week, I’ll definitely be walking 20k steps per day (minus the long drive home). For today’s post, I thought i’d share a little bit about what my workouts have been like lately and how I structure my weeks.
It varies week by week, but here are some of the things I like to include:
3 strength classes – I’ll mix it up between F45, pure barre Define (my fave right now!), and Fit Team strength workouts (low-impact modifications)
1-2 hot yoga or barre classes (I teach barre every other week and do about 80% of the workout with the class)
1-2 cardio days on the Peloton and/or Sculpt Society (this link gets you a free trial on the app!)
1-2 days OFF
Week of workouts
Here’s what a week might look like:
Sunday: OFF
Monday: Hot yoga or power yoga
Tuesday: F45 total body or Fit Team total body
Wednesday: Peloton or Sculpt Society
Thursday: F45 legs or Fit Team legs
Friday: pure barre (Define or Classic), or Pilates
Saturday: Hike, Sculpt Society, or off
I also walk Maisey every day (usually 1-2 miles around the neighborhood) or stroll on my walking pad during meetings
You might notice that it’s not a ton of cardio, and not a lot of interval training. I FINALLY feel like I’m in a place where I’m able to push myself a little with cardio again. Cardio releases histamine – it was a trigger for my eyes- and can also deplete you further when you have autoimmune symptoms. I noticed last year that I couldn’t push myself the way I used to because I’d be sore and exhausted for days. I also got sick twice after very hard workouts, which was unusual for me.
This kind of schedule has enabled me to stay active without overdoing it. It’s working for me right now 🙂
I’d love to hear how you structure your week of workouts!
