Days 26-29: Yoga/whoops, Base & Back, Rest Day, Recovery & Mobility

As I type the title it seems like I haven’t done much these past four days. That makes me really sad with 30 day pictures happening tomorrow.

I had intended to do Yoga. Even planning on doing it prior to my husband coming home. But, for the third time this week, it was one of those nights that when the kiddos went to bed they continued to need me and I ended up cuddling with the girl for sleep. I vaguely remember when my husband came home, but that certainly didn’t equate to my getting up and doing yoga. In four weeks I’ve done yoga twice. That’s not a good record and I’m pretty unhappy about it. I may have to suck it up and get up early on Fridays.

Base & Back was a great workout. I was hoping it would be, as this was one of my favorites in the One on One series. The mixing of pull up/chin up moves and plyo is a great total body routine. I have a long way to go to be able to do as many plyo reps as I would like. It’s nice to have routines that are fun and have room for progress. Definitely the best day out of these four.

Sunday rest day I did a little foam rolling, but didn’t put in the DVD. Probably didn’t eat as good as I should’ve with the Super Bowl. But, before heading to the party I had a Shakeology and some chicken, so that helped me not eat a ton of bad snack foods.

Monday morning I woke up with a full on head cold that I’d been fighting for a while. By “morning,” I mean 3am. I reset the alarm for 6am but woke up at 5:30. So, no 4:30 Chest Back & Balance. I decided that it would be wise for me to use this week as a Recovery Week; then I can hit the routines full force next week. I’m sure my head, shoulder, elbow, and wrist will thank me. Mostly my head. No time for the full Recovery & Mobility routine today, but I did pop in the DVD and follow along with the foam rolling segment. Made my legs and shoulder pretty happy.

Recovery week consists of alternating Recovery & Mobility and Yoga. So, tomorrow I’ll tackle yoga. As long as my head isn’t too unhappy when I’m upside down it should be a good week. I’m pretty sad that the week of 30 day pictures is the week that I’m taking it easy. But I need to look at the big picture and my body is crying for a little break.
