not a weekend & not an every other day work out lady

:blushing: :blushing: so i think that I finally figured out a workout schedule for me, Monday through thursday. I tried the Monday wed friday saturday thing, but by the time I would get to friday I would have so much to do that I would never workout on friday or saturday. getting up in the morning to go to a class is torture; especially as a teacher who is naturally a night owl and so naturally i sleep in on saturdays; i already have to get up on sunday through friday. lol

I then tried the monday tuesday, thursday friday thing and that does not work either because by the time i give myself that short break i want another and i convince myself that i can catch up on friday and saturday and then again i am hit with the dilema of getting up on saturday and then finding time before date night or girls night on friday.

i could never get through 1 whole week working out more than times a week but I did the mon - thurs and got through it and i did it! I also figured out that i love classes better than working out on my own in my house or at the gym on boring redundant machines. classes make me feel like i am in high school or jr high again with gym class. guess my man putting me on his hour fitness acct was just what i needed!

I am glad you found something that works for you! Everyone is different, finding your own thing is difficult to do at times Keep it up, though! Good luck to you!

Congratulations on finding what works for you! It is easy to put something off and then realize, OH CRAP I DIDN'T DO IT AT ALL!
#1 you are working out. Jump for joy!!
#2 as long as you don't work the same body parts 2 days in a row, you should do just fine!
Good job!!!

Great for finding what works for you! Now stick to it and don't make excuses!

I work out 6 of 7 days a week with Sundays off. (technically i still walk on Sundays) but I have so much to lose I can't afford to slack off or I'll eventually stop. It's all about knowing yourself and making it work to achieve your goals! :happy:

I agree - the hardest thing about finding a routine you'll stick to is finding how it fits into your schedule (IMHO). I have two full-time jobs and am often working at home, too - it's basically 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, I have found that I can do some workouts in the morning if I get up a little earlier (like Yoga etc). And I have also managed to give myself a two hour window on Mondays when I can hit the weights in the gym. (I train hard and heavy, so weights once a week fits my need for resistance training just fine).

I've also set up a laptop on my exercise bike so while I'm doing Low Intensity cardio I can still write up reports using dictation software, so I end up killing two birds with one stone! (Sadly, I still have to find the time to do my HIIT workouts on it....). But after much experimentation, I've found something that works for me, and that makes it a lot easier to stick to.
