Soaking Up Summer + Workout Recap

Hey hey! How was your weekend? Jeremy and I ended up spending the majority of ours outside, which was fine by me since it won’t be warm in New York much longer.

Saturday we headed to the Bronx to go see the Yankees. It was hot, humid, and looked like rain for most of the game but at least the Yankees won again the Royals and we got to drink some beer and eat some popcorn 🙂

Today the humidity finally broke– oddly enough this week has probably been the hottest week of summer and it was y’know September. Without the humidity it was simply GORGEOUS out and we totally took advantage of the weather by eating brunch outside with my BFF David who is visiting from California

and then Jeremy and I spent our afternoon reading in Washington Square Park until dinner.

My current read: The Vacationers. More often than not I read non-fiction, usually fitness-y stuff, social media-y stuff or memoirs of interesting people (aka Tina Fey…) but lately I’ve been in the mood for fluffy beach reads at the end of a long work day. So far this one hits the spot!

Workout Recap

Monday: Labor Day aka Kayla Sleeps In Day
Tuesday: Accidental rest day – locked out of the class
Wednesday: Uplifting Strength @ Uplift + 2 hour trapeze class
Thursday: Cycling @ Monster Cycle
Friday: Uplifting Strength @ Uplift
Saturday: Metabolic Burn @ Body Space Fitness
Sunday: Signature Fhix @ The Fhitting Room

What Worked: All in all it was a good week. I seriously loved the class I took this morning at The Fhitting Room– I mean I always love it there, but this morning’s workout just hit the spot even when I was sleepy on a Sunday morning. The combination of stuff this week seemed to really work for my body– 2 days of mainly strength (Uplift), 2 days of metabolic circuit style workouts that mix lots of cardio and strength (BSF + Fhitting) and 1 day of cycling aka pure cardio.

What didn’t work: I was pretty bummed about my pilates tower class on Tuesday getting cancelled because we were locked out of the studio (womp womp) however I think the two rest days were necessary. Silver lining, eh?
