Workout Diaries: February 2024

Hello and happy Thursday!

Well, before we get too far into March, I want to recap my workouts for February.

Knowing I’m going to write these posts (at least for now) have been pretty good for my accountability.

This month…workouts seemed harder to get in. We were in the thick of Hayden’s basketball schedule, and I had a week after school where I didn’t get home until at least 6:00 most days.

Here’s my February Bodi tracker:

Here are my workouts this month:

• February 1, 16, 20, 29: On these days, I either walked as my workout or had a busy day with lots of steps…and took brief walk to get to 10k steps.

• February 3:Sure Thing: Lower Body Power

• February 5: Job 1 Start Strong: Back, Glutes, Core

• February 6: Sure Thing: Cardio Conditioning
• February 7: Sure Thing: Combination Strength
• February 9: Sure Thing: Hybrid Strength Circuit (This is one of my favorite workouts)

Then I had a break…this was the week that I was in charge of our after school credit recovery session, and I told myself I’d at least get a couple of workouts in …but didn’t. That week, Hayden also had a couple of basketball games which made for late evenings. Anyway, excuses, I guess…but just where I’m at in life.

• February 17: Sure Thing: Lower Body Power

• February 18: Fire and Flow: Restorative Flow 1 (I usually don’t take the time to do the slower yoga type workouts, but this one felt good because I remember being sore from the workout the day before)
• February 19: Fire and Flow: Cardio Fire 1
• February 21: Job 1: Start Strong: Shoulders, Legs, Core
• February 26: Fire and Flow: Cardio Fire 2
• February 27: Job 1: Build and Burn: Glutes, Arms, Core.

I don’t feel like I was in as good of a rhythm as I was in January…but, oddly enough, I still like coloring in the date on the Bodi calendar.

When I go to the basement to workout, I always just click on the Bodi app and pick and choose based on what program I want to do or how much time I have to give to a workout. I “program hop” around, and Sure Thing and Fire and Flow are my two faves right now. I’ve done both of those programs in the past, so it’s nice knowing what to expect.

This month I did try to make sure I was doing more cardio type workouts on Monday and Tuesdays.

There was only one day where I “should” have worked out — as in I had planned to and had time to– but didn’t. Saturday, February 24. It was a rainy Saturday, and we didn’t have much going on…so I just decided to be lazy.

So, this month I worked out of 15/29 days. My goal continues to be to workout at least half of the days in a month. That being said, this month had more “walking” days than January. I hope in March to get back on track consistently working out before my evenings are filled at track meets in April and part of May.

I know these posts aren’t for everyone, but I think I will continue to share them because they help me hold myself accountable…except for apparently Saturday, February 24th when I knew you’d understand my need to be lazy. haha

What’s your favorite way to workout? Do you do anything different for exercise in the spring now that winter is over?
