Twelve Days of Fitness Blog Challenge: Day Eight


Happy New Year! I don’t know about you, but I can’t believe that it is 2014 already.  Today is first day of the Twelve Days of Fitness Blog Challenge for 2014. To learn more about the challenge view the initial post HERE>> or join our group by clicking HERE>>

My Day Eight Workout:

I started 2014 out by heading to the gym to take cardio kickboxing at 8:30 AM.  For some reason the gym decided to hold all of its classes through noon, but close at 6 PM tonight. Personally, I’d think it would make more sense to open late on New Year’s Day, but guess that’s just me.  Unfortunately, I got caught up on the phone before leaving and ended up making it to the gym at 8:40 AM. When I got there, no one was kickboxing.  I did see the Yoga instructor who teaches after the cardio class and chatted with her. She said no one showed up.  So I decided to get in a 3 mile run on the treadmill and do a little weight training before Yoga.

I really love this Yoga instructor because she has us practice the same poses for 4 weeks and gives us a copy so we can work on them at home.  Here’s our latest sequence:

We have been practicing Warrior I, II, and II, tree pose, triangle, reverse triangle, and side planks as part of this month’s sequence.

I didn’t feel tired when I went to the gym, but when I got back all my 2013-2014 celebrating got to me and I had to take a little cat nap.  Now that I’m rested, I’m ready to tackle some of my own New Year’s Resolutions like cleaning up and unpacking after the holidays.  All I have to do is find a good playlist so it doesn’t seem as boring!
