I did my spin class, first in over a week. 45 minutes and 508 calories. My heart rate was super high, and I sweat absolute buckets, probably due to a tight chest and coldā¦ But I did it. I feel amazing and ready to push on even more.
Iām committing to 8am Bootcamp tomorrow. Will check in, hopefully after it!

Who got that fullbody strength
training in? 
(2nd this week yeah)
Saturday
Morning yoga followed by 2min plank and 10 pushups.
7km zone 2 run.
It was first time I actually tried and kept my HR lower than 140. I was running sloooow, 7:27/km. My plan is to run once a week in zone 2 and once in my normal tempo or intervals.
I sign in to hyrox training next Wednesday. Iām very curious about it. @spgand28 I know its your thing, maybe some tips? 
If I like it I want to make it regular thing.
Oh my gosh, Iām so excited for you! 
You are going to love it. Are you training to do the actual Hyrox competition? I didnāt get to do the competition here in Chicago because I wanted my first one to be with a partner and I couldnāt find one. And the weight of the sled push/pulls scared me a bit. 
Hyrox is more cardio based compared to a lot of the other competitions I have done. One thing in common though is the ācompromised runningā it entails. I know youāre a runner and you may have heard of it but compromised running is a different ball game. 
Itās because youāre running under fatigue from performing other functional movements. The training plans involve a lot of preparation for that.
Another thing are the wall balls which are terrible. 
I believe the standard for women is 10lbs (4.5 kg). Beginners usually start off light but I do know that for individuals who are doing the actual competition they move up to an even heavier weight like 12lbs (5.4kg) or 14lbs (6.4kg). That way when they compete, the 10lbs (4.5kg) is light as a feather.
I donāt know but I personally love it. I think you will too! 
And you will get a good conditioning workout even with just the training classes!
Glad you got back into it! Thereās nothing wrong with taking a break. The body and mind needs it sometimes! But it is important to get back to it because the experts are right when they say exercise helps with endorphins. 
Had a good start to the day with a walk with the dog and then there was a social ski event with one of the local xc ski clubs that I went to. It was a lot of fun. Got 9k in before lunch.
Now Iām sitting in the sunshine and listening to the snow melt dripping off my roof.
My pooch, Ranger, wants today to be all about the frisbee. Iāll indulge him a bit.
Im not planning to make a real deal and go to a competition. But i dont say never as well 
Im not sure if it will be my thing. I dont have good grip in my left hand and it might be an issue. Will see. For sure will let you know how it went.
What is the weight of kettlebells that you have to carry and walk (i donāt remember name of that exercise 
)? Or you choose what you want during the training?
Edit: Ive checked and on a competition on Farmers Walk you carry 16kg kettle in each hand (woman). There is no way my hand will keep that grip and unfortunately its not something I can change or train, itās my physiology. So no competition:) But I can train anyway, I guess
They should let you adjust the weight as needed. Itās not set in stone for the training classes. 
I did what I promised myself today, and it was great fun.
Rounds of:
Burpees
WEIGHTED sled pulls
Sprints
Spin sprints
Bicep curls
Chest presses
Squat jumps
Box jumps
Clean and press
Ab rockers with medicine ball pullovers
Press ups
Suicide squats
Triceps dips
Glider mountain climbers
50 - 60 People. CHAOS!
The sled pulls were so much fun!

Got a solid swim in.
Around 2500 metersā¦
Enjoyed some sun beside of the pool afterwards as the location is fully glassed. Wonderful.
Sunday
Besides my every day morning routine (yoga, plank, push-ups) - nothing.
Rest day
I committed to spin at lunch time. This one HURT. I managed a high output of 4.5 watts/kg. Thatās my highest output ever!
@poppyfairy one thing I do when Iām struggling for motivation is kettlebell emomās. Pick 2-4 exercises (depending on reps) then set the timer for 20mins every minute complete your exercises then rest for the rest of the minute.
If im lazy I plan my rest to equal 30secs every minute. If im motivated I plan it to be 15-20secs ( at the beginning, might become less when I get more tired 
)
It easy to talk myself into that workout because I say āitās only 20minsā then often it Kickstart my motivation and I do another emom after, so then you get 40mins of exercise.
Was in the gym today, legs chest and back. Followed by 35mins on the elliptical machine. 2nd time Iāve used it, I had been using the stair climber (and loved it) but I think it started to flare up my plantar fasciitis, so trying the elliptical to get some cardio in.
Not much for cardio today but my son and I got about 4.5 hrs of downhill skiing in.
Might have to do some juggling with my schedule to get back to my routine. My son just finished basketball for the year and I wonāt be able to takeadvantage of practice time to get my workouts in.
Thanks for the tip! I will try it.
My workout today, designed for me by chatgpt, was AMRAP with kettlebells. My robot coach said if I make 5 rounds in 25min I am a badass I finished 5 rounds in 23,5min
Tuesday:
Morning routine
AMRAP workout with kettlebells
Spin class this morning.
One hour nature walk with a friend this afternoon.
