Happy Friday! I am recovering after baby Avri’s arrival and will not be working out for the next 5 weeks (I am 1 week post partum). I will be taking a solid 6 weeks off from my typical workout program. This.is.going.to.be.hard. In the next week I will start going for small walks and slowly integrate light stretching and breathing exercises to keep my muscles somewhat awake. I need to keep reminding myself that my body delivered a baby and needs adequate time to rest and recover before adding additional stress to it. Yes, I have weight to lose but it can wait. What is most important to me right now is being the best mom possible to Avri, giving my body rest and recovering the right way.
In the meantime though, I will still be sharing a free workout every Friday! When I eventually get back into the gym I am not going to start out with a lifting program. I plan to go back and do what I want for a couple weeks to wake up my muscles and get back into the routine of things. I have already been collecting workouts that look fun for my return. Today I am sharing one from Street Parking. Street Parking is a program you can sign up for and receive daily programmed crossfit workouts. These workouts are designed to be able to be done in a crossfit gym, fitness center, and even home gyms. The couple behind these workouts is Miranda and Julian Alcaraz. I have been following Miranda’s crossfit journey for years and she is a true inspiration to me, especially now because she is also a momma! She shares some of the Street Parking workouts on her instagram and you can follow her here. You can follow her husband here. Below is one of their workouts that I can’t wait to try! Give it a shot and let me know how it goes!
