Switching Up My Fitness Regimen (Again) + This Week’s Workouts

It’s been a while since I’ve shared my weekly workouts (if you’re new here, I used to share them frequently).

Before I moved to Florida (one year ago!), I considered myself a “gym rat.” Making the cross-country move led to a lot of changes, one of them being not joining a gym right away. At the end of July, I bit the bullet and decided to give Orangetheory Fitness a shot. One month in with 15 workouts completed, I wrote my thoughts about it here. I love OTF. I had a lot of fun with it, and it was a change of pace from coming up with my own workouts. But then I got burnt out — mentally (and financially). Boutique fitness gyms are not budget friendly; so, after 6 months of consistent heart-rate based HIIT workouts, I decided to put my membership on hold.

Which brings me back to home workouts — something I am very familiar with. I think it’s going to take me a bit to switch back into the mental game of home workouts + running. I’ve been considering purchasing an at-home based workout program, but can’t make up my mind. There are so many good ones out there — Madeline Moves and the Good Sweat Guide are both catching my eye.

Workouts | Week of February 4

Thoughts overall: I’m glad I got in six days of intentional movement, but I consider several of my workouts “light.” Wednesday, I had killer headache and only managed a sluggish 2 mile jog, but Thursday’s strength workout felt great and left me so very sore. This week’s workouts were a good reminder that workouts don’t need to be long to be effective!
