It’s been a while since my last workout update post, so I wanted to share how my fitness routine has evolved over the past year and a half. With changes in my health, including autoimmune symptoms and eye issues, my approach to exercise has shifted significantly.
Despite the challenges, I’ve found a new balance in my workouts that focus on healing my body. From joint-pounding sessions to barre, spin, and yoga during pregnancy, to heavy strength training and Orangetheory classes, my fitness journey has taken many turns.
But when faced with eye issues, joint pain, fatigue, and inflammation, I knew it was time for a change. After positive Lupus markers, I prioritized reducing inflammation and supporting my body through nutrition and nervous system care. This led to a transformation in my workout routine as well.
While my body composition goals shifted, and I’m not as toned or muscular as before, I feel better than ever. With negative Lupus markers and improved eye health, I’ve found a new balance in my workouts that prioritize recovery and overall well-being.
My current weekly workout schedule includes daily walks, barre classes, hot yoga or Pilates, strength training sessions at F45, dance cardio or Peloton workouts, and regular weightlifting sessions. Rather than focusing on intense training, I prioritize movement that feels good and supports my healing journey.
Through this process, I’ve learned the importance of listening to my body and adjusting my workouts based on my current needs. It’s a reminder that it’s okay to scale back and prioritize self-care, especially during times of heightened stress.
What does your current weekly workout plan look like?
