Weekly Workouts

Gooooood Monday morning!! Sorry this post is coming up a little late, but it was definitely a sleep-in kind of day after a crazy weekend! Not only did my friends throw me a surprise early birthday party on Saturday night, but I also had my Sunday Denver meet-up and met around 125 or so amazing women (and a couple men!). So today I slept until I didn’t want to sleep anymore. It was quite lovely!

I’ll be sharing more about those two amazing events later this week, but let’s first chat about the new workouts I’ve been adding into my routine. Last week I touched on cutting back with CrossFit and starting up with Class Pass to help me try out new workouts and new gyms around Denver. And so far, I LOVE it. This past week, I added in a couple yoga sculpt classes, which I can’t get enough of. And I also finally tried out the Lagree method classes, as well. Both are amazing and completely different from each other.

With yoga sculpt, you leave COMPLETELY soaked in sweat. Seriously, 100% soaked. It’s bananas. When I first started, I was using 4# and 5# weights, but as I’ve gotten more comfortable with the classes, I’ve added in 8# and 10# weights to make it a little more challenging. But with the Lagree Method classes, you leave with barely a drip of sweat, but your legs are trembling and feel incredibly heavy. It’s such a different feeling than anything else I’ve tried!

At this point, I’ve gone from 5 days of a CrossFit per week to added in glute workouts, but I found myself beginning to fit some adrenal fatigue so I’m cutting back and making sure I don’t double up on my workout. So far, I’m feeling better and some of my symptoms of adrenal fatigue have begun to disappear. Doing 2 CrossFit workouts per week is not only helping with some of the neck and shoulder issues I’ve been having, but my body is able to heal quicker and build muscle a little easier. I’m excited to see what this new road looks like and to share it with you guys! This week, I have CrossFit, yoga sculpt, Lagree method, and a climbing class planned, all before I leave town and take an entire week off working out! Ready for my body to take an actual vacation for once!
