Right here’s my present exercise schedule and a few of my new match gear to go together with it.
My Present Exercise Schedule
My exercise schedule has settled into a pleasant routine in 2023. It’s SO good to be again at ACAC! I missed it a lot in the course of the pandemic. Nonetheless, I do love the simplicity of doing exercises at residence too.
On my busier workdays I normally stroll Birch to high school and do a 20-minute Peloton experience and a 10-minute power session. I contemplate these nearly relaxation days in between the extreme lessons I do. I didn’t understand how a lot more durable I work out at ACAC till I went again!
I’m searching for some suggestions from you private coach sorts on my exercise routine. I do know the reply is at all times “raise heavy” and “extra yoga” so I’m making an attempt to determine the place these may go! Soccer is at all times on Sundays within the spring and fall, in order that does throw a wrench in my Monday/Wednesday power class routine.
- Sundays – Two hours of soccer. Rips my physique aside and requires a full relaxation day on Monday!
- Monday – My solely motion is normally strolling. Might add yoga right here! However mild yoga.
- Tuesday – Stations fitness center class. A mixture of cardio and weights. Totally different each week!
- Wednesday – Power class with a bit of HIIT combined in. 70% weights and 30% cardio. Alternative to raise fairly heavy.
- Thursday – Peloton day OR raise heavy with Meg OR go to Afterburn step class typically.
- Friday – Peloton day OR simply strolling (this might be a yoga day!).
- Saturday – HIIT cardio class (my favourite of the week!).
The issue I’m having with my routine is all my lifting days are again to again – Tues./Wed./Thurs. However since soccer/Saturday are so intense, I don’t wish to raise proper earlier than or after them! I’m additionally tied to when the lessons I like are supplied. Sadly, the power class isn’t Tues./Thurs. as a result of that might make it good. I additionally REALLY don’t like lifting alone or different instructors – haha.
What would you tweak? What would you add?
Nike Exercise Garments Overview
Nike reached out to inquire about reviewing a few of their exercise items as a part of their #nike365 program. They let me pick a handful of items in trade for sharing when/how I needed on my channels. I used to be stoked to get to work with such a world model! And the timing couldn’t have higher as a result of LOOK at my sports activities bras and sneakers. I hoped to get new sneakers this fall anyway! For sure, the above exercises wore the soles out of my sneakers in a yr. And I haven’t gotten new high-impact sports activities bras since Birch was born!
My haul is usually sneakers, tops/bras, and leggings since that’s what I wanted most.
Footwear
For sneakers, I centered on HIIT and power coaching fashions. As a lot as I used to like to hit the pavement on a carefree enjoyable, I’ve resigned to the truth that I simply can’t run with out ache on my left foot anymore, particularly if I wish to proceed to do the opposite actions I actually love, like soccer and lessons. I picked two pairs of sneakers for lessons and one for life-style/strolling to preschool/energetic mother life.
Nike Free Metcon 5
The Metcons are my favourite of the three I picked! I like the purple colour and the best way the soles stack with the vertical Nike swoosh. These are nice for my ACAC power lessons – nice side-to-side assist and good cushion. The grip can also be fairly good for being model new sneakers, though I at all times have to slip round on pavement a number of instances to get my sneakers wood-floor prepared. Completely pleased with this pair! They’re $120.
Nike Zoom SuperRep 4 Subsequent Nature
LOVE the recent pink Barbie second of those! The SuperReps are very cushiony and have a really fascinating step – such as you’re strolling throughout an air bubble cloud. These are nice for my leaping lessons – I swear I’m leaping greater! They’re essentially the most cushiony of the three and are my decide for cardio lessons and strolling. They’re additionally Thomas’s favourite on me!
Nike In-Season TR 13
These are my “life-style” sneakers and they’re so cute! I like the classic look. They’re very snug for strolling, and so they’ll be nice at airports, playgrounds, and wherever I want snug footwear. They’re $60 – a terrific value!
Tops + Bras
Since I’ve a number of on a regular basis bras, I used to be largely searching for excessive impression “tremendous bras” as I prefer to name them. Good for a D cup to do leaping jacks and run! My bras should come up excessive sufficient that there’s no cleavage shifting, and the straps have to be adjustable.
Nike Swoosh Excessive Help Girls’s Non-Padded Adjustable Sports activities Bra
This bra is a strong selection if you happen to like a basic Y again that goes on overhead. It and has an excellent cool characteristic: velcro straps to regulate the rib cage match! It’s good for prime depth and isn’t too huge or cumbersome. Very modern!
Nike Alpha Girls’s Excessive-Help Padded Adjustable Sports activities Bra
This one is my favourite and I obtained it in blue and black! I LOVE that you just put it on like an everyday bra – the straps aren’t Y formed. It’s really easy to get on but additionally off if you’re actually sweaty – simply unclip! It’s additionally good and thick so there may be tons of assist and full protection cups. The adjustable slides really keep in place. There’s minimal padding, nice compression/match, and it’s actually snug! Will get an A+ from me!
Nike Dri-FIT One Luxe
I did get one tank as a result of I liked the inexperienced colour! I don’t like to consider my garments after I exercise – I wish to take into consideration the exercise. So after I purchase exercise tanks, I’m searching for a excessive neck, muscle form (= thicker straps) and an excellent size. This one matches the invoice!
Leggings
I’m a bit choosy about my leggings, so I wasn’t positive if I’d like them. I did ship one pair again that simply had an excessive amount of material for me. However the three pairs I stored are GREAT! Naturally I obtained 7/8 size in all three as a result of I’m solely 5’2″ and the size is ideal for me.

These are my favorites of the three as a result of they’ve good compression and are a bit extra of a efficiency materials. LOVE them! The seamless ankles are nice, they’re supportive general, and the waist top is ideal for me. They’re $100, so an funding, however I already love them for my lessons!
The opposite two pairs I obtained are each from the Nike Yoga line. One is $65 and the opposite is luxe material at $90. They’re SO very smooth, have the seamless ankles, and are the proper waist top. I like to recommend them each! They’re marketed as being decrease on the compression scale, however I discovered them way more compressive than a few of my older leggings. So I’d say medium compression. These are good for lessons OR good for lounging at residence!
Now if solely I have been higher at tree pose 🙂
Hydration + Restoration
My all-time favourite hydration is Ultima. It tastes nice, is available in a bath so I can use roughly relying on my bottle, and has all of the electrolytes I want for heavy sweating days and soccer. Raspberry is my favourite.
I’m additionally making an attempt these Restoration Gummies by For Wellness. TBD in the event that they fight soreness however this upcoming soccer season will actually give them the take a look at! They style good.
Lastly, individuals at all times ask my favourite protein powder and whereas I do swap round, my present favourite is Merely Tera’s. It’s constructed from natural, grass-fed whey protein and I like the Bourbon Vanilla. Combine that with some AG1, milk, banana, and peanut butter and you’ve got one tasty post-workout smoothie!
