Your Fitness Plan of Attack: April 11-18th

Options
Planning ahead is key to success! Sundays are 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 11-18th. (I teach fitness, so my schedule is sporadic, but these are my personal workouts, not classes I teach)


My Fitness Goal/Objective: Burn 1500-2000 Calories per day with High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

My fitness plan of attack this week:

Monday
6-7am BodyStep

Tuesday
5:30-6:30am BodyStep
8:30-9:30am Bodyvive
9:30-10:30am Mat Pilates

Wednesday
6:00-7:00am BodyStep
8:30-9:15am Core Conditioning

Thursday
5:30-6:30am BodyStep
9:30-10:30am BodyStep
10:30-11:30am Yoga
5:30-6:30pm BodyStep

    My plan of attack this week is to cut back on processed food and up the amount of protein I eat.
    I'm also going to try out some healthier recipes on my family (I live with my dad, sister and neice), because it would be nice to eat dinner with them, instead of having to make my own thing.
    I'm going to be increasing the amount of exercise I do. Alternating 1 hour walk one day and then 30 work out DVD the next (The Biggest Loser Last Chance Workout), all week.

    Awesome!!! I LOVE the ambition!!! I have been looking for a few other vixens whom are die hard fitness fanatics! Just remember, the scale will not always reflect the true changes in your body, so focus on the fitness and the change will come! The scale is just one tool to measure one element of the body's adaptation.

    Monday
    Fitness Center Elliptical, P90X Recovery Week, Run C25K

    Tuesday
    Yoga or Fitness Center Elliptical, P90X Recovery Week, Run C25K (depends on what husband wants to do)

    Wednesday
    Fitness Center Elliptical, P90X Recovery Week, Run C25K

    Thursday
    Run C25K, Fitness Room(I'll be out of town but I know the hotel has a fitness room)

    Friday
    Fitness Room, P90X Recovery Week (within an hour of getting home or I won't do it)

    Saturday
    P90X Recovery Week, Fitness Center Elliptical (before I leave town again)

    Sunday
    Relax Day- Stretch & Yoga, Walk Dog

    If I get all this done, I know I'll be proud of myself no matter what the scale says. This will also finish up my round of P90X and I'll take measurements on Sunday (I hope)
    As far as nutrition goes, knowing that I'll be out of town for several days my focus will just be watching my calories and my late night snacking

    Good luck to each of you!!

    Wow, you guys have some intense workouts planned. I'm hoping to get to that point soon, but I have to go slow. I've injured myself before because of an overly ambitious workout schedule and it totally derailed my diet.

    Great point to remember! We are all at different fitness levels with different goals! Make your plan reflect where "you" are at! I am notorious for saying in my fitness classes " this is your workout, make it you own!" Set goals you will feel good about accomplishing! When we reach our goals it builds self esteem and self confidence! Success breeds successes!
