Workout Diaries: July 2024

Hello and happy August 1st!

Fun fact about me…August is my least favorite month. haha!

This might explain why:

The transition back to school is always a little rough, and it’s just a month where I always feel like there’s a lot on my plate.

Anyway, I did get another month of workouts in, and I’m chugging right along.

Here’s my Bodi tracker for July:

Here are my workouts this month:

• July 3: walk 40 minutes track by my dad’s house
• July 4: walk 40 minutes track by my dad’s house

• July 5: walk 40 minutes near my mom’s house

I will be honest that it was difficult for me to get motivated to workout this month. A good compromise were these Xtend Barre Express workouts and a walk around the block later in the day. I’d completed Andrea’s other barre program, and I like her as an instructor…and I like the convenience of my basement to try out her barre workouts…because let’s get real…I’m not ballerina! haha

• July 8: Xtend Barre Xpress: Xtend Signature Express
• July 10: Xtend Barre Xpress: Cardio Express and walk
• July 11: Xtend Barre Xpress: Ballet Sculpt Express AND Core Express
• July 12: Xtend Barre Xpress: Sculpt and Define Express and walk
• July 16: Xtend Barre Xpress: Legs Express and walk
• July 18: Xtend Barre Xpress: Flexibility and Balance Express
• July 23: Xtend Barre Xpress: Booty Express and walk

• July 24: Fire and Flow: Mobility Flow 1 (It felt good to stretch!)

• July 25: Sure Thing: Hybrid Strength Circuit
• July 29: Sure Thing: Strength and Stability (such a hard but great workout!)
• July 30: Sure Thing: Cardio Conditioning (I don’t think I will never not hate cardio, but I do try and “push play” at least a couple of days a week with cardio workouts.

• July 31: Job 1: Finish Stronger: Arms, Shoulders, Legs

This month I did earn my 300 total workouts badge from Bodi. I joined Bodi a few years ago, so while it’s probably taken me some time to earn the 300 workout badge, I’d say in the past year and a half, I’ve used their various programs pretty consistently.

July has 31 days, and I did 15 workouts. I wish I’d squeaked a few more in, but I did start the month being out of town, and there were a couple of days that I chose the pool or was just lazy! While I know I never regret working out, I also know that as July ticked on, I didn’t mind watching a show, reading a book, taking a nap, or staying at the pool a bit longer.

August tends to be a hectic month with back to school, but I’m going to try to start off strong knowing that the second half of August might be a bigger adjustment juggling kids’ after school activities with the start of school exhaustion.
