Morning everyone. Hope you have enjoyed this first week of 2023. Overall, it has been a pretty great week for me. Work got a little dicey, but outside of work, I think I am crushing it so far.
I’ve got my new trusty planner and a new schedule that I have been sticking to. Really, I do enjoy having a daily routine. It takes off the stress of things because I know what needs to be done and when. I have added a few extra items to my daily list, and they are really improving my mood.
This month, I had planned to sign up for a new HotWorx membership. It’s $60 a month plus a one-time $75 enrollment blah blah fee. So nothing crazy, but I am cracking down on unnecessary spending. So, instead, I opted for an at home pilates app. For $15, I was able to get a 28-day plan to help jump start my daily workouts. The link for the website is below. It has nutrition, fitness, wellness, etc.
Gym memberships are great, but we all know that the first month of the year is crazy busy. Not to mention, if you are like me, the gym is out of your way, not on your regular route, and that means it’s an extra effort to get there. By doing a home workout, I am increasing my odds of actually making it happen.
I am on my feet all day at work, so by the time I get home, my body feels stiff and tired. After only 5 days of doing simple floor and wall based pilates workouts, my joints feel better, I am more limber, and my muscles albeit a little sore feel less tight and overworked. Most of the workouts are less than 30 minutes long, making them super easy and quick to do. The movements aren’t complicated, and you are using only your body weight.
There will come a time hopefully soon when the long intense cardio sessions will resume taking place. But for now, just getting into the rythym and moving my body is what counts. The saying is that a body in motion stays in motion. Now that I am moving, I plan to keep up the pace. Who’s with me? Even if it’s just a walk, the goal is to get you going! Let’s do this!
