Weekly Workout Schedule + Fitter Week Five

Hey friends! How was your weekend been going? Mine has been pretty good! Saturday I ended up taking a rest day so I could have one day to stay in my PJs, lounge around, and get some blog work done while I relaxed on the couch.  I got up only to go to church at 5pm!  I knew that today would be busier because I have the Vestique event from 1-5pm (if you’re in Charlotte, come on by!) so I got up and did my run this morning rather than on Saturday like I normally do.  That way I had one rest day and one busier day of my weekend.  Do whatever you can to make your workout schedule work for you!

On Thursday we are heading to Snowshoe, WV for a weekend ski/snowboard trip with our siblings (my brother, Craig’s two brothers, and my future sister in law!) to celebrate Craig’s birthday.  So I plan to still be on track for my workouts, except I plan to just let my all-day snowboarding be my cardio on Saturday rather than a run!  And I may switch this Monday and this Friday’s workout…not sure I want to hammer my legs the weekend before snowboarding for 3 days in a row, so it may be a better idea for me to switch those and do core & cardio on Friday.  Again, just do what works for your schedule!! The important thing is to get the workouts in.

Also, can we talk about this activewear & athleisure look for a second? These are seriously the most flattering and fun leggings…I feel like you have to be careful with gray leggings sometimes because they aren’t always the most slimming.  These felt SO good on, I felt like I was sucked in in all the right places but not too tight at all.  And the rose gold details are just dreamy!! Not to mention this teddy coat…y’all know I love soft things, this alo yoga jacket is such a fun changeup on the typical athleisure wear.

Here’s this week’s schedule…
