Plan for the week

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! :)

  1. 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!
