Weekly Workout: June 21 – 28

It wasn’t a bad workout week.  I think I’d like to start getting two leg workouts in each week since my don’t get as sore from my 100 workout anymore.  My round ligament pain keeps me off the treadmill and the elliptical will get boring pretty soon.  It bugs me when I’m walking outside for a period of time too, so that’s not really an option either (plus it’s been balls hot/humid).

Friday, June 21

• Noon: I had an appointment, so I didn’t take a lunch = no workout

Saturday, June 22

• Nothing: Nothing – Lo worked in the yard all morning and then carried 20 bags of mulch, so he got a workout.  I did none of that.  We were outside at The Anderson’s buying mulch for like 10 minutes and I felt super-sluggish and like I might melt.

Sunday, June 23

• Nothing:  Nothing – again, Lo did a bunch of work outside.  I went shopping.  Carter’s was having a big clearance sale, so I bought some baby clothes (the first new clothes I’ve bought, I think – everything else I’ve bought has been used), went to JoAnn fabrics to look at options for recovering our Boof’s window seat and glider for the nursery – and then on to Trader Joe’s.

• Noon – 45 Min Treadmill/Elliptical: I wanted to walk some hills, but got bad round ligament pain after 10 minutes so I had to switch to the elliptical.  I thought the ligament pain usually happened much earlier in the pregnancy, so I’m surprised I’m getting it so bad now (but I know that’s what it is).

• Noon – Noon Yoga at Capitol Club:  Last week, yoga was kind of tough because I felt like my belly was in my way the whole time.  This week I had no issues and was able to really get deep into poses.  Maybe it’s just me learning how to work around my belly.  I just felt really strong in the class and it was a good one.

• Noon – 100 Workout:  I did my usual 100 leg workout: 100 squats, 90 second wall sit (split in two), 80 calf raises, 70 second plank, 60 lunges, 50 single-leg leg deadlifts (25 each leg), 40 plie squats with kettlebell, 30 side squat walk with heavy band around thighs, each direction (don’t know what to call those), 20 pushups, and 10 burpees.  I didn’t expect to do anymore burpees this pregnancy, but I really wanted to do them because I love finishing a workout hard with them.  I was able to do them (with a wider leg stance), but I had to sit down on step bench right after.  I definitely could feel my belly bouncing around when I’d jump – it’s probably not the best option for me to continue.  I still had lots of time, so I did 20 minutes on the elliptical.

Thursday, June 27

• Noon – Gym:  35 minutes elliptical, 10 minutes upper body stuff (shoulder raises, presses, flys, etc)
  

Friday, June 28

• Noon – Yoga:  I hope to go to yoga, even though I don’t really like the Friday class.  I haven’t been to it since early in my pregnancy (mostly because the majority of my appts are on Fridays) and I just find the instructor and her style kind of grating.  The people in the Tuesday class were joking that it should be called “bootcamp yoga” or “something to prove yoga”.  No one is really fond of the class.  I like hard yoga – Anne is the hardest instructor I’ve taken and I loved her classes – this one is just…different.
