Now that I've finished my Sunday night yoga class, it's time to look ahead to my workout plan for the week. My plan each week is usually pretty ambitious but I also am very conscientious about listening to my body and changing my plan where needed. If my body has had enough or needs more, I will give it what it needs. So without further ado, my plan is as follows:
Monday - 7:15 am Group Cycling (aka Spin)
Tuesday - 6:45 am Boot Camp, 7:05 pm Pilates
Wednesday - 7 am Yoga
Thursday - 6:45 am Boot Camp, 8:15 pm Fit Ball
Friday - 7:15am Kettle Bell/Group Cycling
Saturday - 8 am 4 mile race in Prospect Park
Mornings
One of the big things about my workout schedule is that the majority of it takes place early in the morning. I work out, shower and then go to work. One of the things to know is that I'm not a morning person. The reason I decided to start working out in the mornings is that I have no time to make excuses when its the first thing I do out of bed. I do not have to do anything special to get ready so I roll out of bed throw on my workout clothes and go out the door. I've read articles that people who establish a morning workout routine have better success sticking to it. I have definitely found that to be true! I also feel very energized when I work out in the morning. I also find that I get too hyper from evening cardio work outs and don't sleep well. What works for me won't work for everybody, but right now I really like being a morning (work out) person! :)
I am NOT a morning person, but have to agree with you...working out in the morning yields the NO EXCUSE factor! For years I used the excuse "I'm not a morning person" but what does that have to do with working out in the morning? Nothing. I still have to get up and go to work, like it or not. Same with my health gotta get up and work it out!
