Hands up if, like me, you’re finding these darker mornings a little more depressing and tougher to get started on? Add in the wind and the rain and it’s just not the best start to the week after such a beautiful summer!

But along with this comes the promise of crisp, cool evening walks and the smell of autumn in the air of course.

And that helps when I’m thinking ahead to my weekly routine, and what I’ll be able to achieve.

Last week was good:

Monday I was back as circuits and I worked pretty hard. The additional cardio with skipping was most welcome!

Tuesday was another excellent doubler, with the resistance band based Sculpt class followed by Trigger Point Pilates.

I managed to get a good amount of steps in on Wednesday as I didn’t get to Jog Scotland. I’m definitely up for it this week, as it’s been three weeks since I last ran!

On Thursday we had a new round of PiYo and it was brilliant to see a lot of new faces joining us. I’m looking forward to the routine building in the coming few weeks.

I also managed a walk on Friday, Saturday and Sunday so I had an above average week for activity!

Given why I said earlier about mornings, here’s something to help if you feel the same: Have an amazing week!
