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 May 16-22nd. (I teach fitness, so my schedule is sporadic, but these are my personal workouts, not classes I teach)


My Fitness Goal/Objective: Burn 1000-1500 calories 5 days this week with High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT).


My fitness plan of attack this week:

Monday
6:00-7:00am BodyStep
12:45-1:15pm Strength Training (Lower Body)
8:00-9:00pm Yoga

Tuesday
5:30-6:30am BodyStep
7:00-8:00pm Strength Training (Upper Body)

Wednesday
6:00-7:00am BodyStep
7:00-7:30am Strength Training (Lower Body)
8:30-9:15am Core Conditioning

Thursday
5:30-6:30am BodyStep
10:30-11:30am Yoga
12:00-12:45pm Strength Training (Upper Body)

Friday
11:45-12:30am Strength Training (Lower Body)

Saturday
8:30-9:30am Vinyasa Yoga
9:30-10:30am BodyStep

    Your schedule is intimidating, but in an effort to stick with this idea, which I think is a great one, I'm gonna give it a whirl:

    Monday: Yoga (20 min) / 3 mile power walk
    Tuesday: Yoga (20 min) / 1 mile power walk
    Wednesday: Zumba on XBox (30 min)
    Thursday: C25K (meeting with buddy at the park)
    Friday: Yoga (20 min) / 2 mile power walk

    Please note, I'm not in shape, so this is stretching myself. :-) But, I'm gonna post it on the wall and commit myself to it.

    Here's mine:
    Sunday(done)~ Legs & 45 minutes cardio
    Monday~ Chest & Back plus 45 minutes cardio & abs :)
    Tuesday~ Shoulders, biceps and Triceps && 45 minutes of cardio
    Wednesday~ Legs plus 45 minutes of cardio && abs :)
    Thursday~ Chest & Back plus 45 minutes of cardio
    Friday~ Shoulders, biceps & Triceps plus 45 minutes of cardio && abs :)
    Saturday~ Rest or Cardio

    My new plan of attack began today: I switched things up with muscle confusion :) Along with that extra bit of cardio. Instead of 30 minutes a day of cardio I've decided to do 45 minutes of up/down training.

    Leg workouts for me take up no less than an hour and a half
    Chest and back usually 45 minutes and Shoulders, biceps and triceps take up 45 minutes to an hour.

    Looks great ladies! I admit, I am a fitness junkie. Hence the reason I chose it as my profession. Definitely do your own thing based on your goals. Last week was a laid back recovery week for me. This week I am stepping up the Interval training.
