Happy Sunday! How is everyone feeling as we approach crunch time for the holidays? I am happy to say that all my holiday shopping is done, presents have been wrapped and all I have left to do is go grocery shopping at some point next week.
Here’s how my workouts went this week:
Monday, December 12
Full Body Bootcamp 3/3/20 – Jess (30 minutes)
Holiday Ride 12/10/22 – Leanne (20 minutes)
Holiday Arms & Light Weights 12/10/22 – Leanne (10 minutes)
Orangetheory Fitness (60 minutes)
Holiday Yoga Flow 12/12/22 – Mariana (20 minutes)
Starting off the week with a ride from Leanne was perfect. She’s so bubbly and happy, which helped me get out of my “Mondays suck” mood.
It was the last day for #12DaysofFitness at Orangetheory and the workout was a doozy! I’m convinced they wanted the last day to be the hardest and they definitely succeeded. Even the coach apologized after the class was over, LOL.
Secured the swag
Tuesday, December 13
Holiday Run 12/6/22 – Kirsten (30 minutes)
Glutes & Legs Bootcamp 2/18/20 – Jess (30 minutes)
Holiday Warm Up Ride 12/7/22 – Bradley (10 minutes)
Holiday Ride 12/7/22 – Bradley (20 minutes)
Holiday Aussie Vibes Yoga Flow 12/13/22 – Kirra (30 minutes)
Another stack of holiday classes from Peloton. They are so many great options this year for the holiday classes. It definitely helps to get me in the holiday spirit, even if I’m sweating the entire time, lol.
Wednesday, December 14
Flash 15 9/24/21 – Jess (15 minutes)
Orangetheory Fitness (60 minutes)
R&B Run 12/8/22 – Jess (15 minutes)
After 4 days off from work, it was back to the grind today. We finally had a very normal OTF class – it was very much back to basics with no crazy moves on the floor, or intense inclines on the tread – it was nice! I needed a little more mileage to hot my 3 miles for the day so I did a quick 15 minute run after the OTF class.
This was kind of a weird day for me. I was really thrown for a loop when I heard about the death of Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss by suicide. I couldn’t believe it – actually I still can’t believe it. He was always full of joy and smiling but it just goes to show you never know what someone is going through. I’m so just so sad about it and my heart breaks for his wife and children.
Thursday, December 15
Saturday60: 2000’s Bootcamp 11/19/22 – Jess (60 minutes)
Extra 10: Walk 11/28/22 – Joslyn (10 minutes)
Holiday Ride 12/11/22 – Tunde (30 minutes)
Holiday Post-Ride Stretch 12/14/22 – Sam (5 minutes)
I’m a little behind on the Saturday60 bootcamps (still have 4 more). I want to complete them before the end of the year so I’ll be doing some hustling over the next two weeks. Tunde’s holiday ride was great – she just exudes joy so it makes all her classes great, even though she is a hard instructor!
Friday, December 16
Holiday Run 12/10/22 – Marcel D (30 minutes)
Holiday Two For One Ride 12/13/22 – Ally & Cliff (30 minutes)
Orangetheory Fitness (60 minutes)
Marcel’s holiday class was a lot of fun! It was mainly hip hop Christmas songs so I found a few news ones to add to my holiday playlist.
For Orangetheory, we had a 23 minute straight endurance block on the treadmill and a long 23 minute strength block on the floor. To say I was pooped after class would be an understatement. The only good thing is that the staff set up a hot chocolate and cookie station in the lobby as a congratulations for everyone doing #12DaysofFitness, so I left with a yummy cup of Dunkin Donuts hot chocolate. That ended up being perfect since it was cold and very rainy/windy outside.
Saturday, December 17
Holiday Run 12/9/22 – Olivia (30 minutes)
Full Body Bootcamp 5/30/20 – Jess (30 minutes)
Holiday Ride 12/15/22 – Kendall (20 minutes)
Holiday Ride 12/3/22 – Jess K (15 minutes)
Holiday Cool Down Ride 12/11/22 – Christine (10 minutes)
Sunday, December 18
Holiday Walk 12/14/22 – Matty (30 minutes)
Linkin Park Warm Up Ride 12/14/22 – Bradley (10 minutes)
Linkin Park Ride 12/14/22 – Charlotte (45 minutes)
Linkin Park Upper Body Strength 12/14/22 – Ben (20 minutes)
Matty’s walk was so much fun. It was a playlist full of diva Christmas songs which was great. Followed up the walk with a few of the new Linkin Park classes that were all amazing, especially Ben’s upper body strength class. The playlist had nothing but “bangers” (as Ben would put it) and my arms felt lie jelly after the 20 minutes were over.
Summary:
Running – 19.5 miles
Cycle – 44.08 miles
Bootcamp – 150 minutes
Strength Training – 45 minutes
Orangetheory Fitness – 180 minutes
Peloton Artist Series Classes – 894/905
Peloton released their annual Cooldown feature that acts as a year-end recap. I always like to see some of my Peloton stats for the year. No surprise to me this year that I worked out the most with Jess Sims and that most of the classes I took featured hip hop music.
…and now for this week’s memes/funny tweets.
Thanks to Deborah for sending me these!
That’s it! I hope you had a great week 🙂
I’m linking up with Deborah and Kim for the Weekly Run Down.
In Case You Missed It
Tuesday Topics: Holiday Fitness Challenges
Bravo to you for having all of your shopping and wrapping done! Every year I say I’ll finish early…and every year, not so much LOL
Great job completing the 12 Days of Fitness challenge. It sounds like OTF gets more and more intense!
Have a great week ahead!
LOL, well I absolutely do all I can to avoid crowds, hence why i try to get the gifts and wrapping done early.
OTF is killing me this month!
Incorrecter, haha! Damn autocorrect!
Having hot chocolate & cookies from OTF was a really nice touch.
Sorry you had to go back to work but sounds like you didn’t let that interfere with fitness! Nice job, Kim!
These a the best memes!!
Congrats on the challenge… you are amazing with ALL your workouts.
Lucky for me, I have very little to do for the holidays… just some parties and a few gifts.
The Navity scene meme made me laugh out loud because the dog looks so guilty, haha
I’m impressed that you have all your presents wrapped! That was my plan for today, but here I am, watching football and catching up on blogs. It will get done, lol.
I always look forward to your memes. I sent one to my family chat group after my sister told us her cat knocked 2 ornaments off the tree. The meme was of a cat in the reflection of the ornament getting ready to knock it down. My mom complimented me on the ‘great photo’, LOL
Nice job on your fitness this week.
I always find random times to wrap gifts. I can never wrap them all at once because I get bored lol.
LOL about the memes!
Hee hee… that last meme.
Well, you’re making me miss Peloton a little! I love holiday theme anything, and those classes sound really fun. Great job on the 12 Days Orange Theory challenge! I love that they had hot chocolate for you at the end. And, I’m very impressed and envious that all your presents are wrapped! I’ve got a lot of wrapping ahead of me.
The holiday classes always put me in a good mood because of the music so I look forward to taking them, Even if I’m a little cranky before logging into a class, i always feel so much better after it’s done.
I usually wrap presents a little bit at a time. I can’t wrap them all at once because I get so bored, lol.
Way to crush it on Peloton this year! Funny thing, I know I got my bike shortly after you and my cool down says 2015. I don’t even think there was Peloton in 2015 oh well!
Sounds like you are ready for Christmas. Hope you and your family have a fantastic one
LOL, that’s funny that the cooldown has 2015. I think 2018 sounds correct for me because I remember although we had it, I didn’t use it that much. My how that has changed, lol.
Oh gosh, that autocorrect meme is spot-ON! It’s like it has it in its mind what is “correct” and it will NOT let you get away with anything else. And, of course, I seldom ever catch it until after I hit send, LOL. Anyways, I have been snagging a few of the holiday classes, and I really appreciate the variety and the many options. I also did Bradley’s Linkin Park warm-up ride this morning…but did it as a cool-down after my 20-miler.
Haha same here! I never catch the autocorrect before I send the text which is so annoying.
Bradley’s Linkin Park ride was good! If you liked that one, try Kendall’s 30 minute Linkin Park class.
snipped it in the butt . LOL!
We could have been Matty twinning today but the preload bug stuck again. I had a good podcast as a backup but what I got of the class sounded so fun.
I need to get through the holiday classes and by through I mean start. But I feel you on adding to the playlists.
Darn, the pre-load option is still acting up? They really need to fix that!
Oh, I am so behind on the Peloton holiday classes. I think I will make Leanne’s ride and Marcel’s run a priority this week. I’ve done JJ’s 20 min walk a few times with Scooby. 😉
Congrats on earning the OTF swag so cute!
I am done with shopping but barely started wrapping. I put a dent in the grocery shopping yesterday, but have more to do. Our store was completely out of heavy cream that my DIL needs to make tiramisu. Hopefully they will re-stock! (So, yeah, that diet meme ….)
I think you will like both of those classes, especially Marcel’s run. Matty’s walk was really good too.
I also did a bulk of our grocery shopping this weekend. I have to pick up a few items toward the end of the week (collard greens and sweet potatoes), but I’ll be at the store when they open so I can get in and out before the crowds lol.
Nice job with your workouts Kim! I haven’t done any of the Linkin Park stuff yet but I am looking forward to it! I think it’s the first time ever that I am all shopped and wrapped as well. Who am I ?? Haha!
Let me know how you like the Linkin Park classes.
I hope you had a wonderful birthday!
That looks like an impressive week of fitness! That’s great that they make a recap video, must be nice to see your achievements summed up. I loved the dog meme 😀
Thanks! That’s the main reason I love the video – it’s a great way to look back on all the accomplishments of the year 🙂
I really enjoyed the Matty Holiday walk! His chatting always keeps me distracted from what my legs are doing and the soundtrack was super fun.
Same! He has a way of pulling me into his classes. I feel like I’m with a friend listening to their stories.
That last meme cracked me up! I love it when I get everything completed early and can relax a little and actually enjoy the holiday season. Good for you for being so on the ball!
Yes! So nice to get stuff done early, especially around the holidays.
Hugs. It was a hard week.
Snipped it in the butt is great. Where do people get these things???
I hope you get a little holiday break!
I still occasionally laugh at the snipped it in the butt meme, lol
