Kristin McGee
Peloton yoga instructor and mom to three sons
One week of workouts
The Details
As a fitness instructor, it's no surprise that Kristin's week of workouts includes a lot of teaching and sometimes multiple workouts in a day! She said she sticks to a regular weekly routine of three to four yoga practices, two to four Pilates routines, two lower-body strength workouts, and one or two upper-body strength workouts. She also snuck in some extra cardio this week. "I teach for a living and I need to be on top of my game, but I've also realized that it's become such a lifestyle for me," Kristin told POPSUGAR. "I truly love to move my body, push myself, and learn more about myself."

Monday, Jan. 18
Taught two 20-minute yoga flows
Lower-body strength and Peloton cycling class
"I felt really good because I love starting my day with yoga. I go to PT to counter all of the stretching I do. My physical therapist laughs, saying I'm the only person they tell to tighten up their hamstrings. Since I do so much yoga, I can get hypermobile, so it's great to cross train. I also love doing strength work with my colleagues."

Tuesday, Jan. 19
Taught a 45-minute yoga class
45-minute Intermediate Peloton Pilates Class
"At-home Pilates is such a good complement to yoga, and it really helps me strengthen my core, which I need after having three kids!"

Wednesday, Jan. 20
20-minute cycling with Cody Rigsby on Peloton Bike
30-minute Peloton Strength for Runners
"I felt good after this workout. I didn't push too hard during this ride, but the bike energized me — Cody is so fun! I loved the Strength for Runners class I took with Becs after because I'm really working on getting stronger in my running. I felt good and really happy that day. I was a bit hungrier than usual . . . which was filled by my nightly pistachio habit!"

Thursday, Jan. 21
30-minute cycling with Ally Love on Peloton Bike
Upper-body strength class with Andy Speer
10 minutes of core + 20 minutes of yoga and handstand practice
"I felt super strong this day and full of energy. We do a lot of pressing in yoga and not a lot of pulling, so it's really good to get in some rows, curls, etc., and important to do weights at my age. I was also excited to be getting closer and closer to doing a puppy press in a handstand. Having a goal to work towards makes showing up that much easier!"

Friday, Jan. 22
20-minute Peloton run with Selena Samuela on Peloton Tread+
"When I run, I definitely feel tighter and like to get some stretching in. I also work in some core, a 30-minute Pilates class, and a 30-minute yoga class at least three to four times a week."

Saturday, Jan. 23
45-minute endurance run with Becs Gentry on Peloton Tread+
"I hit a PR (personal record), and I couldn't believe it! I felt really happy and a little wiped out at first, but then I had a lot of energy all day and was able to focus and chill out with my boys for the rest of the day, doing art projects, puzzles, and less active things."
