Winter Shape Up 2018: Week 2
Hi friends! Welcome to Week 2 of this year’s challenge! While I look forward to putting together the workouts for you during each Shape Up (and filming the videos!) the best part by far is the community that it creates.

I’m really particular about activewear, and Fabletics is one of my very faves. It’s well-made, not super expensive, and they always have unique styles and patterns.

OTF last night (forgot to post
rest day today
Sweaty and done!
Just finished Katie’s live pilates workout! Really glad I got home right in time to join – the live workouts are so fun. I did workout #5 right before that at the gym in the building where I work – that 7% incline is no joke. Phew!
Switching up this week a bit, I did workout #6 plus some deadlifts. Those push-ups are killer! I just do as many as I can.
Just did Workout #1! One of my favorites.
body pump workout today! Gonna be sore tomorrow!
Thursday 5am treadmill speed workout with my training partners. Thank goodness for blogs because I was able to find a distance speed workout on hungry runner girls blog to follow. I am going to have to get in some strength tomorrow so I plan to do a WSU workout after my 5:15am spin class!! YAY!
3 and 4 dome!
Monday was a rest day since my abs were killing me after Katies pilates on Sunday
Tuesday was personal training and I am still sore on Friday from it
Wednesday was a rest day due to my back hurting from my car accident
Thursday me and two coworkers did workout #6 on our lunch break at the gym
Friday will be a rest day unless I decide to do Katies ab workout again after I put the little one to sleep
Totally forgot to keep up with my workout comments! lol I just finished workout 6 and will be going for a long walk later today with the baby.
Last night’s Pilates and WO4 done today.
Quick HIIT today!
did the elliptical last night and a couple of the videos the night before that. That barre one man, my legs!
Walked the dog for 30 min on Monday for my steady state.
Did workout #5 on the treadmill at work yesterday.
Swapped days because I was sick and did Workout #1 this morning.
workouts #2 and 4 and daily yoga complete. I’m still sore from workout #1 earlier this week, and I def feel the need for some foam rolling later today 😉
25 minute upper body strength workout through Fitness Blender. Arm day is my favorite 🙂
Upper body strength today, followed by a fun kettlebell finisher!
Running on the treadmill today!
Friday workout didn’t go quite as planned. I had wanted to weight lift but got to the gym and couldn’t motivate myself so I went with my friends to spinning class. This afternoon we are going to do an easy swim. Looking forward to the relaxing in the water.
Took a rest day yesterday and just did workout #6–I’m super sweaty!!
Quick bodyweight circuit today just to get my heart rate up!
Went for my first postpartum run today! Was short and slow but felt amazing 🙂
Workouts #2 and 4 today. Rest day is going to be very much needed tomorrow!
Did workout 5 today. It was great!
Friday = Double workout day … finished workout #2 … 3000 yds of swimming in the pool.
Bed time. One more workout for this week tomorrow morning. 🙂
To warm up I did 20 on the stair climber. Then I took a Barbell extreme class. It was extreme!
worked out every day this week!
Glad it’s a rest day I took yesterday and today off due to a migraine hopefully the rest will let me jump back quickly tomorrow
Took myself on a chilly but sunny walk for coffee this morning. Have a girlfriend date planned for this afternoon for a puppies and yoga event!
Got my HIIT workout in!
Just did workouts #2 and #4 (two rounds of #4). Those are my favorite workouts of this WSU! Took a rest day yesterday, but went on a neighborhood walk yesterday after work and this morning before the workouts.
I did workout 2 and 4 today. I might not be able to carry my kiddos the rest of the day!
1.5 hrs of house cleaning, 1 round of WO6, and 30 minutes of yoga today
So grateful for Saturday morning workouts. I don’t have to get out of 4:15am to get them done … instead I get up at 6:30 am and then join my friends for 90 minutes of spinning starting at 7:30am. Woot woot for having my workouts done before noon! Rest time.
So happy I was able to get in workout 5 on the treadmill while the baby napped!
Today it was raining and cold, so my family and I mall walked to stretch our legs, get in some activity and in the process, tire out the children! It worked!
OTF and some time outside!
Today I did workout #4 3x and 20 minutes of incline walking! Whew!!
Just finished workout #6 – whew, I worked up a sweat. That one is really tough for me! Happy to cross it off, though. Going to TJs now!!
Switched around the week a bit and today was workout #5 so I went fat-tire biking for an hour (ok so about 15 minutes of that was probably rest time). I really dislike cardio, but being outside doing something fun helps a lot!
I took a walk outside today with the baby and hubs! It felt like an awesome weather respite a time 50degrees and sunny!
Today was an off/gentle day. I was sore so I did a 30 min yoga video.
