We haven’t been back with a Wellness Wednesday post for quite some time! We had been wanting to share an updated workout routine/schedule with you all, and for some reason, we thought we had already shared one previously!
In case you missed our last Wellness Wednesday post, you can check that one out here!
If you all read some of our previous posts on low intensity workouts, or listened to our podcast, An Extra Dose, you know that we have been doing lower intensity workouts for about 9-10 months. Nothing against higher intensity workouts, but for us, this is what we were craving, and what we feel the best doing at this time.
In the past, we would go to the gym almost every day, and some form of cardio, like the stairmaster or bike, and then lift weights. We still think those are great workouts, but we just were very fatigued, and wanted to give our bodies a break!
We had both tried pilates in the past, but hadn’t really done it consistently. In January, we both started doing pilates at Session Pilates in Dallas and have been going pretty much every week, twice a week. We LOVE it, and actually look forward to the workouts. All of the instructors are great, and if you don’t think you can get sore or tired from pilates, you are WRONG!
We have gotten so sore sometimes, to the point that where it is days long, in the best way! Pilates really does transform your body, and strengthens your core, lengthens your body, and creates that lean, toned look that we love!
PS- if you want to take a free intro class at Session Pilates, mention “adoubledose”!
In addition to Pilates, we jump on our rebounder almost every day for at least 20-25 minutes. Read up on the benefits of rebounding in this post and this post. We also like to do a p.volve workout at home, which is very similar to pilates! Check out more on p.vovle in this post!
Our current workouts schedule is something like this:
MONDAY: walk outside or rebound for 20-25 minutes + an at-home pilates or p.volve workout
TUESDAY: walk outside or rebound for 20-25 minutes + an at-home pilates or p.volve workout
WEDNESDAY: walk outside or rebound for 20-25 minutes + possible an at-home pilates or p.volve workout (or just walk, no extra workout)
THURSDAY: walk outside or rebound for 20-25 minutes + an at-home pilates or p.volve workout
FRIDAY: walk outside or rebound for 20-25 minutes + possible an at-home pilates or p.volve workout (or just walk, no extra workout)
SATURDAY: rebound for 30 minutes or short run outside + some at-home resistance band exercises
SUNDAY: rest day
PS- this black lace cami is A STAPLE and so comfy! Great to layer underneath sweaters in the fall. We have size s for reference. These black jeans are so stretchy and fit so well. We have size 25 short in them!
