MADE IT ! 🫶
Now that I have successfully completed this week...
THIS WEEK WAS GARBAGE!!!!!
Ya'll my mental and physical health was in shambles!! SHAMBLESSSSS you hear me 😆 🤣
So much happened in one week...I literally had to fight to stay motivated to show up...and of course all my accountability partners [ya'll] helped me...
Chileee all of this to say...we are stronger than we think...and when you keep showing up despite it all it makes you even stronger.
I pushed myself harder this week on purpose but I didn't plan for the other things to also push me...so it was definitely an interesting week..I'm personally glad it's over and already claiming a better week next week !
Now that I got that off my chest, this was a great full body friday!...With extra emphasis on the core !
I was higher on the weights so I only did about 6-8 reps for most of everything and did 4-5 sets of everything.
This is definitely a great one and honestly did not take long at all! Great for anyone in a time crunch!
Well this ice/snow/sleet/who knows storm will be making its way to us starting tomorrow...so who knows what this weekend and Monday will bring...hope everyone has a safe weekend and hopefully I will see ya'll Monday

I totally relate to having weeks where everything feels overwhelming, and keeping up with fitness can seem almost impossible. From my personal experience, what helped me get through similar times was focusing on manageable workouts that fit my energy levels, much like the full body Friday routine with an emphasis on core that you described. When mental and physical health are fragile, prioritizing quality over quantity in workouts can make a huge difference. Using heavier weights for fewer reps, as you did — around 6-8 reps with 4-5 sets — is a smart approach to maintain strength and progress without overexertion. Also, keeping the workout concise helps stay consistent, especially when motivation is low or unexpected challenges arise. Accountability partners are absolute lifesavers during rough patches. Having people who check in and share the journey helps maintain that commitment to showing up. I’ve found that even short conversations or messages can reignite motivation when the week feels especially tough. Weather disruptions like ice, snow, or sleet can also impact plans, but adapting by bringing workouts indoors or using minimal equipment at home keeps momentum going. Exploring options like full body exercises that don’t require much space or gear has been essential for me during unpredictable weather. To anyone facing a tough week, remember: your resilience grows each time you push through. A focused workout that targets multiple muscle groups, including the core, can not only boost physical health but also enhance mental clarity and mood. Claiming a better week ahead, as you did, is a powerful mindset that fuels progress beyond fitness itself.
