A few weeks ago I posted about my current workout woes. You all so kindly helped me realize that my 'ideal workout plan' (5 strength/ 3 cardio/ 1 yoga) was probably a bit unrealistic for this current stage and season of my life. Given the time constraints of my schedule, this plan meant I was… Continue reading Workouts update: I think this version might stick?

More information
Realizing now yesterday's post was probably a bit hasty, as I quickly pounded it out and hit publish without editing. Looking back, it's a little all over the place and dramatic and also sort of angsty sounding. ha. Ah, well. First, thanks to those who wrote supportive comments. 💗 You are all correct. I am… Continue reading More information
Streaming workout final round up!
Okay, abruptly changing gears from my sad post yesterday! I want to share the final list of "streaming workout" options that you guys all gave me on this post.

A recap: week of 7/31 workouts
Shall I try this again?? It was both fun and motivating to write a workout recap last week, so here's round 2! Monday I started out the week in a bit of a stupor after having been away most of the weekend. I felt good, just kind of groggy and slow. No early morning walks… Continue reading A recap: week of 7/31 workouts
A recap: last week’s workouts
Since I'm trying to re-establish my consistency in the gym after a wonky summer so far, I thought it might be motivating to share a workout recap.

Exercise intensity and a great newsletter
Two very random, different topics for today: Exercise intensity: How hard do you really need to work?? This is one of my miscellaneous musings that kind of rolls around in my head for a while, and then eventually works its way out into a blog post. Haha. A couple weeks ago, an old college friend… Continue reading Exercise intensity and a great newsletter
My favorite people at the gym
I was at the gym yesterday afternoon, doing a full body strength workout. (My current plan includes 2 leg/ab days, 1 back/biceps day, 1 chest/shoulders day and 1 full body day. I was thinking yesterday- I think the full body days are my favorites. It's enough variety that no single body part gets overly fatigued,… Continue reading My favorite people at the gym
A poll: audio habits while exercising
I've been wanting to ask this for a while, and truthfully, I also just wanted to try out this "poll" feature in WordPress. lol!! (Sorry if it doesn't actually work or something- first time.) Here is my burning question of the day: I've been mulling this topic over for a long time now. When I… Continue reading A poll: audio habits while exercising
Temporary(?) workout plan/ gym fail
According to my records 🤓, I haven't been to the gym since July 11. ARGH. I am feeling this familiar frustration, where I want to do things, but "can't"/ "am not making time"/ "life schedule has been way too wonky for consistency". We left for San Diego on July 14, got home late on Sunday… Continue reading Temporary(?) workout plan/ gym fail
