Snow Shoeing And Leg Day

It snowed yesterday. First real snow of the season, and I am so excited. Snow = Snow Shoeing, which is absolutely my favorite winter activity. I didn't have many opportunities to go last winter, so I am hoping for lots of snow this year!

Yesterday, I took Moon Dog and the kids for a walk in the field behind our house. We won't have use of the Rail Trail all winter, so this will probably become a regular thing. It had just started snowing, so we just went in our boots. Moon Dog is probably more excited about the snow than the kids are. He was so happy diving head first into it. So cute.

The kids and I also did a TKD circuit workout. We're all missing TKD this week due to the school vacation, so we decided to practice on our own. It was a lot of fun and a good workout. The kids don't mess around!

This morning I broke out the snow shoes and went for a 20 minute walk around the field. The snow wasn't super deep, but I was still glad I had my snow shoes on. I am definitely out of practice. My hip flexors were burning. It'll probably take a couple more tries before that gets better. I really enjoyed being out there, even with the burning muscles. I love exercising in the cold.

I also completed W1/D2 of the lifting program. Leg day! I always love a good leg day, and this one was a good one. Medium weight and only four exercises, but I got close to failure on every single exercise. Exactly what I want to do right now.

Day 1 - Again

New week. New start.

I'm starting up a lifting plan. I've used this plan before and loved it. Each session lasts about 35 minutes and consists of four exercises. I'm not going to list any details here because it's not my plan, but it is effective. I really enjoyed W1/Day 1, and I am looking forward to consistent lifting.

I like using a plan designed by someone else. I like being told what to do each day and just doing it. It provides consistency. Something I definitely need. I'll be throwing in other workouts, too. Running, Taekwondo, and Yoga. I need to keep trying.

Today, I walked on the treadmill and changed up the incline. It was a good half hour. I'm not feeling great today, so that was enough.
