As for workouts, I decided to try something new last week (or maybe it was the week before?) after my plans had been derailed by a broken washing machine, a carsick toddler, two snowstorms and a visit from the washing machine repair person. \u00a0I think I may have only made it to Mama Beasts class twice (pssst: new session starts on 2\/27, Boston area moms&#8230;) in the span of two weeks. \u00a0It was 2.5 times if you count making it\u00a0half way there before the aforementioned bout of carsickness&#8230; A for effort, C- for basically everything else. \u00a0The sidewalks were too icy for a run\/stroll, and I was feeling both cooped up and cranky, so I knew I needed a backup plan for days and weeks like this. I&#8217;d heard great things about Daily Burn\u00a0(referral link) and decided to sign up for their free 30 day trial after seeing their Instagram ad for the 8 millionth time. \u00a0I was completely hooked after my first workout. \u00a0The programming is great (they recommend a program for you, but you can jump around and try various workouts with different trainers) and totally do-able in a small condo with small children crawling, running, and jumping across your mat. \u00a0I&#8217;m following the Cardio Sculpt program which is a great mix of cardio, strength and flexibility\/mobility. \u00a0 I went full-on nerd and printed out a blank calendar to schedule in my workouts for the next month or so, and think Daily Burn will be a great compliment to both Mama Beast classes and my running plans (I registered for a few upcoming races and listed them on the Fitness On Tap tab). \u00a0I&#8217;ve also pinned a bunch of free, at home workouts\u00a0as further backup &#8212; feel free to check those out. Workouts for the week of 2\/20 Monday: Mama Beasts + Cardio Sculpt Tuesday: Rest\u00a0 Wednesday: Mama Beasts + Kickin&#8217; It (totally channel my inner Billy Blanks for this one) Thursday: BHT Friday: Mama Beasts +\/or Cardio Sculpt Saturday: Run 3 miles + Supreme Stretch Sunday: Kickin&#8217; It What feels better than having a plan (and maybe a sheet of gold stickers) at the ready?
