Thank you all so much for your encouragement with my week 1 post! Week 2 also went well, but I'm starting to realize how difficult this is going to become when I start my long term sub position at the end of this month. I simply have NO motivation to workout after I get home from school. The question is will I hate working out after school or early in the morning more. Time will tell!
The 2nd week:
Day 1: Cross training - 40 minutes! I did about 30 minutes on the elliptical and then some lifting.
Day 2: Easy run + body weight exercises
-Run, easy pace, 30 minutes
- Cool down, 5-10 minutes
- Stretch
- Squats, push-ups, lunges, plank
Day 3: Cross training - I tried out a total body fitness class. By far one the the more difficult classes that I've taken!
Day 4: Easy run - I was SORE from the day before and wasn't sure if this run would happen. Thankfully I only had to run for 20 minutes so I busted it out and went home for a long Epsom salt bath with essential oils!
- walk, brisk pace, 10 minutes
- run, easy pace, 20 minutes
- cool down 5-10 minutes
- stretch
Day 5: Choice between yoga or rest day. I chose rest day! (I still can't seem to get into yoga)
Day 6: Choice between swimming, pilates, or aerobics - I chose to try a cardio drumming class. I was NOT a fan!! As a former drummer in marching band I almost had to leave because everybody was so off beat and it was driving me nuts! I won't be going back to that one!
Day 7: Long run
- walk, brisk pace, 15 minutes
- run, easy pace, 30 minutes
- cool down, 5-10 minutes
- stretch
Because everyone loves a pinterest motivational image right ? :-) This one really stood out to me today. I am getting STRONGER! Can't wait to see what the next few months have to bring!
I'm training for a half too! Mine is in May! :)
