Hi guys!
Remember THIS post?
Well my 30 Day commitment to fitness is up and I’ve got (some) results.
Take a look!
1) Exercising More
As I said at the beginning of my 30 Days, I used the service ClassPass to keep me moving for the month. ClassPass gave me the opportunity to take different types of fitness classes at different studios and gyms. I was able to take barre, pilates, and cycling all in the same week with different instructors in totally different parts of town! This worked out well for days when my schedule was different. I was able to take a class right after work in one neighborhood, another day after school in another neighborhood, and on the weekend near home in yet another neighborhood.
One aspect of ClassPass that ended up working for me and keep me on track was that you have to plan out what class you are going to take in advance. They don’t have an app so all sign ups have to be done on their website and popular classes fill up days in advance so you need to be on top of it to get into good classes.
I committed to taking at least two classes a week, one cardio and one strengthening. I was really good about going to class until Thanksgiving hit. After that trip and with the end of school, I didn’t get back into the proper swing of things for the past few weeks. However I found two places where I really enjoyed taking class. The first was Tricycle, a cycle studio in north Seattle, and the other was Inspire, a pilates studio in Queen Anne. The cycle classes were small and the instructor added the element of strength training into every class, challenging everyone with various exercises. The pilates class was cardio pilates and super intense but after doing pilates for years and then suddenly stopping, I really enjoyed the class and realized how much I had missed it.
2) Eat More Greens
This was the goal that I think I did best on. I was able to load up on greens daily through smoothies and salads. During the past month, I ate a loaded salad for lunch, which kept me going through the afternoon. If I had something else planned for lunch, I generally swapped out my daily oatmeal with a fruit and greens smoothie for breakfast. I noticed that me skin cleared up more and started to look brighter given all the kale and spinach working its way through my system.
3) Drink More Water (and less coffee)
I tried to be really good about this one but after Thanksgiving, finals were a killer and I drank WAY too much coffee. Since then, I have been trying to make up by limiting myself to one coffee per day. However I replaced my other coffees with green tea so…
It still has water in it, so it counts, right?
Have you ever gone on a 30 Day plan for fitness or anything else?
Let me know how it went for you in the comments!
Until next time,
