And we are on a roll. And we’re rolling right into the next week of our advents goodies!

And there’s lots to keep us going, so thanks to everyone for sharing various December routines. I do love reading about other workout buddy‘s choices before choosing my own.

Having said this, my last week‘s S&F record was abysmal! I’ve had one of the busiest weeks of the year, with attending a conference, then travelling to London for a high profile launch at a prestigious venue, travelling back (or rather waiting at various stations due to cancelled trains left right and centre), and then a 3 day training event that started Friday but lasts until Sunday pm! All happy events, but so so sooooo tiring! So all my workouts of running and stepping, rowing and S&F have taken a back stance, but my poor feet are still utterly tired each evening!

So I need just a few days to get my equilibrium back. We all have those days, right? Where “topsy turfy“ or “fast fast fast” is the main trait of the day and all we need is a weekend where we can focus on ourselves without any commitments or scheduled events.

I’ll have to wait until next week but I’ve saved quite a few workouts rolling by that I want to do!

So without further ado, let’s light the second candle and get to see what is in my workouts-goodies bag:

We starting with a video which is not exactly a follow-along video, but but possibly more if a stretch-hack of how to make five stretches super efficient and reach those parts of your body that you seldom do. So it’s a good one to try and chose one or all five to embed into your existing stretching routines. Let us know how it goes!

This is my favourite Pilates YouTube channel, so I’m sharing this little Pilates mat practice. Cailin has a full Pilates Studio as her main business , but has continually dropped both Mat and equipment based Pilates practice on her channel, and her guidance I find extremely warm, considerate and good.

Of course we cannot do without a step workout, can we? It’s one from a twin sister team that I came across when I did a deep dive into various step aerobic rabbit holes on YouTube. Yup, the step-craze had reached me at that time, and I’m now a proud owner of a beautifully, and much stepped on piece of specialist equipment, one that you may pull out for this workout. I love their energy, good music, the outdoor setting, and the clear voice over instructions!

And they often show how beginners might even join in by using a door mat! Ingenious!

Next a walking workout, so if you need to get around 1900 more steps in, try this one! It’s not a video that can be embedded in this post but the link below should get you there!

Earlier this year we had a Tibetan rites challenge, so this one is a throwback to that challenge, but with a follow-along yoga/TibetanRites session.

It says it’s 15 min long, but there is a 5min Shavasana section at the end, basically lying on your back and meditating for 5 min in that position (and not falling asleep, right?)

ALSO NOTE: she does the max number of repetitions for the rites, 21 repetitions for each of the 5 rites. Be aware if you have not worked up towards that number of repetitions, that is a lot. So feel free to do only 4 or 7 each, if you haven’t been practicing.

I will be doing 7, which is the maximum I have ever done, but I know some of us have continued on to 21, and might really enjoy doing them alongside this video!

Thank you, @CBDB, for still posting despite your busy week! I got exhausted just reading about it 🤣

I am doing a challenge with Pilates for Runners, so I'll probably pass on this, however, I did want to share one of my favorite foot care video! Instead of the toe corrector you can use a thick rubber band and I use a MoveWell block instead of a 2x4 (those 2x4s can be around 100€! 🤔 You can make your own, though, if you're that talented... links below the video...).

Here's the video with Pilates instructor Andrea Maida (who some of you might remember from our March Matness...):

Ohh I need to do that foot workout asap! It looks like just the thing that my poor feet would enjoy after my full week! Thank you!

Now, how to make that toe corrector thing! 🤣🤣🤣 will use some rubber bands as you suggest and yoga blocks as the 2x4.

Some nifty moves in there! As runners, we probably know the towel trick but I hadn’t seen the alternative other motions with the towel.

Thank you! Saved for the near future! 👣👣👣👣👣
