Whew! We made it to the weekend! 🙌🏽 And, we made it through the heatwave! Now, we have a wonderful weather weekend on tap. I, for one, am here for it! Let’s get some high sunshine and low humidity around here. 😀

I ended my workout week with a two-fer! I started with some functional strength training. I have added more moves, increased weight on some moves, and increased reps on others! I’m really learning into progress, here.

Then, I finished the week with cardio kickboxing using my sparring gloves (pictured above). I did 3 kicking and punching combos on each side with a high intensity interval in between. This was a lot of fun and I ended up going longer than expected. 😂

Thursday:

Happy Thursday! It was so HUMID outside today. 😩 And, stormy at times. I found myself staying indoors as much as possible. Which was fine, since I have so much to do for my class. So, I made the most of it. And, I made time for a workout out or two!

Today, I expanded my usual functional strength workout to include a couple more moves/sets. I am definitely feeling stronger lately! 💪🏽 It encourages me to keep going for additional progress. I alternated between upper and lower body focused moves; with some compound moves incorporating both.

Then, I jumped right into a HIIT workout! That went a bit longer than I planned because I lost track of time. 😂 My endurance and cardio capacity has also seen some recent increases. It’s almost the end of the week and I’m not nearly as sore as I was just a few weeks ago! That alone feels like a big win! 🙌🏽
