It’s a rainy Friday morning here in central Wisconsin which makes me wish I could be curled up on the couch with a hot cup of coffee, netflix and snuggling Mojo (our 90 pound lap dog). But instead, adulting and responsibility won the battle this morning. And in case you are wondering, I am still pregnant!
Speaking of still being preggers, just this week I have started to really take a step back from my workouts and slow down. My due date is MONDAY and I have been feeling all of the feels this week. Aches, pains, tightness, soreness, lack of breath. All the joys of late pregnancy. I have been getting in 4-5 workouts per week this entire pregnancy except for this week. I’ve had to take a day off from the gym in between each workout this week because my body said so. I am not pushing myself as hard, focusing on a lot of stretching, breathing and light weights. It was crazy to see how quickly my body changed from just last week. I was still able to have decent intensity in my workouts last week and feel great afterwards. Not so much this week. Instead of pushing myself, I am listening to my body signals and taking it easy. Instead of lifting weights regularly, I am getting in more walks, prego exercises and stretches and some very light lifting here and there. My body is preparing for its toughest workout ever and it is telling me it needs to slow down and rest first. So that’s exactly what I am doing.
I programed this fun workout in hopes of completing it this week, however, it is going to have to wait. BUT, you all need to do it and tell me how it goes!
