Women on a fitness mission (04/04/2011-04/10/2011)

bellawomenswellness

A woman with a plan is a successful one! Planning ahead is key to success! Sunday evenings are my favorite night. The perfect time to reflect on the week coming to an end and plan for the week ahead. Each week I am going to offer an opportunity for you to share your fitness "plan of attack" for the week. Just a good habit/exercise of planning ahead. Take the time to block "time off" in your schedule for your workouts. Make your fitness mission a priority!

Here is my plan of attack for April 4-10th. (I teach fitness, so my schedule is sporadic, but these are my personal workouts, not classes I teach)

Monday:
6:15-7:00am "Insanity" Workout
10:30-11:25am "BodyPump Class"

Tuesday:
6:15-7:00am "Insanity" Workout

Wednesday:
6:15-7:00am "Insanity" Workout
8:30-9:15am Core Conditioning

:flowerforyou: Wow....I am so impressed with your dedicated workout schedule! I cannot even begin to compare to that but you have inspired me to commit to a week of regular workouts.



:happy: Here is my workout plan:
Sunday: 30 Min of Circuit Training
30 Minutes of Aerobic activity - check!
Monday: Long work day....Morning stretches only - 15 minutes
Tues: 30 Min of Circuit Training
30 Min of Aerobic activity
Wed: Ditto
Th: Ditto
Friday/Sat/Sun: Traveling. Hopefully there will be some equipment at the hotel. I am also sharing a room with someone so an in-room workout may be a challenge.

Here is my eating plan:
I will stay within my calorie limit. Normally my other categories are OK but I take in too many cals some days. I will eat to fuel my body...not my feelings!

I am a woman on a fitness mission! Thanks for helping me recommit - I have been too easy on myself lately.

Alright, I guess I'm just talking to myself here, but I did Body Combat this morning, and am heading to Body Pump after work.

bellawomenswellness

Hit my 1500 caloric burn goal! 30 minutes of Core, 60 minutes of Body Step, 45 minutes of Bodypump.
I have got to say, I am really impressed that my body has been to amazing and doing all that I ask of it. Just weeks ago, my brain may have convinced my body that 2 hours of fitness in a row would drain me the rest of the day. I gotta say, I have more energy than ever and the more I do the more hooked I am. Next week is going to be a real test of fitness. I am ramping up the High intensity Interval training (HITT). My goal is to push myself to the max, then the following week will be a HUGE recovery week. I am really amazed at how quickly my fitness level is improving! Watch for my Fitness Plan of attack Sunday!

I will wrap up this week with one last post tomorrow night, summarizing Sundays workout.
