Winter Shape Up 2018: Week 2

Hi friends! Welcome to Week 2 of this yearโ€™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. Itโ€™s pretty incredible to see women (and dudes!) all over the world, cheering each other on and supporting everyoneโ€™s fitness goals. Our Facebook group has been a blast so far, and Iโ€™m excited to pop in with a couple of surprise Live Workouts along the way. Itโ€™s not too late to join in the fun if youโ€™d like to Shape Up with us! All of the details are here.

  4. Stephanie S. on January 25, 2018 at 6:14 pm

    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!

  5. Kady on January 25, 2018 at 7:14 pm

    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.

  6. Tiffany on January 25, 2018 at 7:38 pm

    Just did Workout #1! One of my favorites.

  7. Angela on January 25, 2018 at 8:02 pm

  8. Lindsay on January 25, 2018 at 8:34 pm

    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!

  9. Morgan on January 26, 2018 at 5:32 am

  23. Maeghan on January 26, 2018 at 11:09 am

    Running on the treadmill today!

  26. Lindsay on January 26, 2018 at 1:36 pm

    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.

  27. Samantha D on January 26, 2018 at 5:16 pm

    Took a rest day yesterday and just did workout #6–I’m super sweaty!!

  28. Abby on January 26, 2018 at 5:40 pm

  32. Lindsay on January 26, 2018 at 10:21 pm

    Friday = Double workout day … finished workout #2 … 3000 yds of swimming in the pool.

    Bed time. One more workout for this week tomorrow morning. ๐Ÿ™‚

  33. Stephanie G on January 26, 2018 at 11:00 pm

    To warm up I did 20 on the stair climber. Then I took a Barbell extreme class. It was extreme!

  34. candace on January 27, 2018 at 12:16 am

    worked out every day this week!

  35. Melissa on January 27, 2018 at 9:30 am

    Glad itโ€™s a rest day I took yesterday and today off due to a migraine hopefully the rest will let me jump back quickly tomorrow

  36. Katie on January 27, 2018 at 10:32 am

    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!

  37. Jennifer on January 27, 2018 at 10:43 am

    Got my HIIT workout in!

  38. Stephanie S. on January 27, 2018 at 11:52 am

    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.

  39. Stephanie Woods on January 27, 2018 at 12:12 pm

    I did workout 2 and 4 today. I might not be able to carry my kiddos the rest of the day!

  40. Emily on January 27, 2018 at 1:12 pm

    1.5 hrs of house cleaning, 1 round of WO6, and 30 minutes of yoga today

  41. Lindsay on January 27, 2018 at 2:10 pm

    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.

  42. Samantha on January 27, 2018 at 6:20 pm

    So happy I was able to get in workout 5 on the treadmill while the baby napped!

  43. Alaina Burran on January 27, 2018 at 7:03 pm

    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!

  44. Morgan on January 27, 2018 at 7:40 pm

    OTF and some time outside!

  45. Samantha D on January 27, 2018 at 8:56 pm

    Today I did workout #4 3x and 20 minutes of incline walking! Whew!!

  46. Stephanie S. on January 28, 2018 at 1:57 pm

    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!!

  47. Kady on January 28, 2018 at 2:58 pm

    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!

  48. Samantha on January 28, 2018 at 6:13 pm

    I took a walk outside today with the baby and hubs! It felt like an awesome weather respite a time 50degrees and sunny!

  49. Stephanie Woods on January 28, 2018 at 7:40 pm

    Today was an off/gentle day. I was sore so I did a 30 min yoga video.
