How’s everyone’s week going? I have to admit, I’m ready for the weekend. This weekend I’m taking a workshop for some continuing education for my yoga certification and I’m really excited about it. It’s all about yoga and trauma, which I think is going to be quite fascinating and I hope gives me an initial peak into all of the potential avenues I can take with yoga should I choose. It’s an exciting space to dive into.
Before I get to talking about workouts, I have a question…
What do you want to see more of from me this year? Whether on the blog, social media, etc…Let me know in the comments!
At the end of last week I decided to sign up for the Studio Tone It Up app while it was on a super sale. I had used the app to see the posted Daily Moves but not to do the filmed workouts. I will be honest, it’s a little weird that I can only start class at the designated time (note: there are also On Demand videos so that’s not totally the case, just for that day’s “schedule”) but I’ve found that not having the choice to “pause” the workout pushes me through to get it done quicker and more focused. I’ve really been enjoying it and would recommend it if anyone is looking for a fitness app to try!
Now onto my workout for the week last week….

What do you want to see more of from me this year?
Do you use any fitness apps? What are your favorites?

I have always have problems following workout schedules. i will try to be dedicated one of this days.
I’ve really come to realize that it’s all about your mindset. You either want it or you don’t, and if you don’t, that’s okay – you do you!
I really need to get moving. But this cold has my body not wanting to move at all! I love my fitbit! As far as apps go, I miss tracking everything on MyFitnessPal. It was the easiest, but Im awful about forgetting to log things. That might just be my habit to make in February. Way to go on the workouts! I would love to get into yoga. Another commitment I need to just…well, commit to!

The cold has made it hard! Even with my pup it’s hard to get outside (for either of us) with some of this cold weather!
I have never been great about using fitness apps but am planning to start using the Calm App for mindfulness and meditation. Nice job with your workouts!

How’s the Calm app going for you?
I’d really be interested in seeing more yoga posts and hearing about your studies towards your yoga certification. There are so many courses to choose from at the studio I attend and I’m interested in learning more.
I love Strava tracking my workouts and my Garmin Vivoactive is my all time favourite thing I’ve ever gotten as a gift.

There will DEFINITELY be more yoga posts coming this year! Thank you for the feedback! 🙂 If you ever have questions about YTT, feel free to email me or DM me on IG and I’m happy to help!
Thanks so much Katie – that would be great. I’m new to yoga but loving it so far 🙂

I’m glad to hear that!
Wow! Working out on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day? You are motivating me to get off my butt and be more active. My Fitbit has been yelling at me because I haven’t been meeting my step goals. Starting tomorrow, I’m going to try to change that! 🙂
It’s a habit for me now. Also, I am all about wanting to start the new year the way I want to feel that year, so I go to bed when I’m tired on New Year’s Eve and wake up early New Years Day and start my day like I would any other. I did this several years ago when I had to work early on New Year’s Day and it was such a game changer that now it’s my choice!
I’d love to see more yoga and deep breathing meditations from you this year. I say that because I would like to incorporate those into my life this year and having a blog friend who has her own series, well it might be the kickstart I need!
Lol I’m charging my Fitbit now; I always hate when batteries run low. Like these steps should be counted! Lol. Hope you’re having a great week, my friend.

Oh my gosh! When the batteries run low on my Fitbit, I get sad too! lol And thanks for the feedback, friend. I will definitely do more yoga and meditations this year!
Sounds like a good workout!

Man I need to get back into wearing my Fitbit. I miss being able to see my steps each day!!
I just find it so eye-opening on those days when I don’t do anything! haha
Looks like you had a pretty great workout week. Good luck with the training this weekend
Thank you, friend!
