The Week In Workouts
I’ve been switching up my fitness, so I thought I’d pop in on Sundays and share what my workouts have looked like each week. This week it’s a Monday, what can I tell ya? 🙂 I’m on a mission to find a balance of things I love, that make me healthier, and that overall just feel right.
Here’s what happened last week while I was on the road:

Sunday
I spent last Sunday snuggling my dog and packing my whole life into a carry on. That was a workout in itself. ha!
Monday
Monday my only workout involved running around airports. It was a long day! I didn’t get into my hotel until almost 6 so I just took it easy. I was bummed to miss the last workout over at my gym home away from home, CrossFit Primal. It was snatch balance work, which I NEED to be doing, but I just got in a little too late.
Tuesday
Squats and a fun metcon were on the menu:
5 rounds for total reps of:
1 min. Max Effort Weighted Step-ups with a 65lb barbell on your back. Alternating legs (that part was HARD! One leg, so so much stronger than the other!)
30 seconds Rest
1 min. Max Effort T2B (I did raises)
30 seconds Rest
This was a good workout and I was happy to squeeze in something hard while I was on the road.
Wednesday
The workout at CrossFit Primal was 100 Burpees for time. I skipped it. You can’t blame me, ca you? 🙂
Thursday
Thursday I was up early and hit up the 6am class at CrossFit Primal. It was a Fight Gone Bad style workout only substituting Double Unders for Rowing.
3 rounds for Total Reps
Wall-Balls (14 lb)
Sumo Deadlift high-pull (55 lbs)
Box jumps (20 inch)
Push-Press, (55 lbs)
DU’s
Thursday night AndreAnna was in town and we also ended up pumping some serious iron in the hotel gym. 😉
Friday
Since Thursday night had been a fun night out and since the weather looked like this when I woke up…
…there was no walking down to the gym in the morning. And I was on a plane all afternoon/evening.
Saturday
Holy crap I was tired this morning and Garrett + I had planned to go to Barbell Club, but man it had been a long week. Plus we had a road trip to pack for. We headed up to Oktoberfest at Sierra Nevada which meant the only workout was lifting beer steins.
But man, THEY ARE HEAVY.

This week was all over the place as far as workouts. Looking forward to getting back into my routine now that I’m not going to be traveling for another month at least. Any big PRs for you this week?
