I’m running a little behind in these workout posts. I am not sure how relevant they will be since I have fallen in love with my Peloton. On my Instagram stories, I am doing some polls to see what direction you want these posts to go, as I really like to do them!
NEVER is it my intention to share what I am doing for workouts and you feel like you should do something the same. For as much as I workout, trust me, I should look a lot different in my bikini. But I work out because I love my body, not because I hate it. I enjoy cocktails, wine, pizza, pasta and omg, cookies, like daily. That last quote wasn’t even true, but I want to share it again, because I think it’s important.
You workout because you love and appreciate your body, not because you hate it.
This was a mantra shared by a Peloton coach in a class I took recently and it changed my whole perspective. I have had an unhealthy relationship with food and my body, most of my life. Therefore, I do not want to do these posts to encourage you to think badly of yourself or your reflection. You. Are. Beautiful. Move because it feels good. Move as a mind break from everything else going on. Move because you love you.

My favorite new workout, as mentioned in this workout post.
- If you don’t have a rower or cardio machine in your home, run up and down the stairs you have access to, run around the blog, adding a little distance each time, jump rope adding on time as listed below, or have a dance party for the time listed below. The idea is to be slowly and steadily adding on time to your cardio block.
- 500 m row should take under 2 minutes. Do the following times for cardio blocks instead of the distance listed.
500m row/ 2 minute cardio
3 rounds:
20 X planks
20 ab bikes
600m row/ 3 minutes cardio
3 rounds:
20 Ab extensions
20 bicep curls to shoulder press
700m row/ 4 minutes cardio
3 rounds:
12 sit ups
20 Russian twist
45 sec planks
800m row/ 5 minutes cardio
3 rounds:
12-15x bicep curls
12 inch worms
900m row/ 6 minutes cardio
3 rounds:
20 total scissor kicks
12 knee tucks with ab sliders
1000m row/ 7 minutes cardio
The cardio doesn’t have to be torture! Make it fun! Jump rope for one section and then dance like no one is watching for the next block. Run up the stairs for one time, taking the recovery on the way down, and do lunges up the stairs for the next block. Take as little time in between movements and blocks as safely possible. This is supposed to be fun and hard!

This was the day we hit the road for our road trip. I got up early to make sure to get my sweat on and ride the bike before being gone for almost 5 days.
Friday, July 3:
50 minute family hike in Mammoth. We found a relatively flat path that was reported that you could bring strollers on. We tried to encourage the kids to walk as long as possible, but it was nice to have the Double Bob Stroller for back up so we didn’t have to carry them.
45 minute Whitney Houston Flow using the Peloton App. This was my first time using the app, but I wanted to check it out and make use of my time away from my beloved bike. The legs needed a stretch and some love. I did this class with my sister in law on the patio.
Saturday, July 4:
30 minute hike. We were staying at a home near the mountain, so I went out thinking I would just “run” up a ski run. Welp, that altitude is no joke, even if I think I might be in the best cardiovascular shape of my life. It turned into a straight up walk, but it was fun to see a ski run in a different light, season and direction. Especially since our last trip of freedom, pre COVID, was to a skiing trip.
