I honestly have been dreading writing this post because it was an off week for me. Since I last posted this is what my “workouts” looked like:
So here is the break down of April 8-14:
– Friday C25K & Walk 2.8 miles in 35 minutes
– Saturday Walk downtown 1.2 miles in 20 minutes
-Sunday Walk on bike path 1.7 miles in 35 minutes
– Monday OFF
– Tuesday walk with hubz 2.2 miles 45 minutes
-Wednesday OFF
-Thursday- pilates 30 minutes
Totals: 11/24 days and 6hrs 55minutes/15hours
Honestly this week was horrible for me; I feel like I didn’t do any intense workouts which has made me feel a little sluggish and tired today. I have decided with some encouragement from Twitter that starting tomorrow I am going to be working out in the mornings because it’s too easy to have “something come up” in the evenings.
This evening the plan is to do my Rodney Yee Yoga for Abs because my abs need a good workout and then C25K & a walk with the Hubz. I also am going to try out my new Nathan Sports Speed 2 Hydration system (p.s. giveaway to come for this!)
Do you like working out in the a.m. or p.m.? What are you doing for a workout this week?
I like doing cardio in the morning. It gets me up, moving and ready to take on my day. Also I don’t have to worry about going for a run after work because that usually never happens anyways.:) Although I prefer morning runs, I lift weights 2-3 days a week in the evenings with my boyfriend. Having a buddy to do weights with pushes me to get out of the house and get a quick strength workout in.
I work out RIGHT after work. Literally, straight from work to the gym. Otherwise, stuff does come up, or, more likely, I sit on my couch & then don’t want to move. So I’ve found that going straight to it I do it, get it over with, and then have the rest of my night.
I’m looking forward to the summer when I can work out whenever I want, and try out some classes at the gym.
That hydration system looks AMAZINGLY convenient. I need to invest in one!
Don’t feel bad if you had an off week, just take it day by day.
p.s. EEEE i’m featured here!
I am usually more of an am workout girl, but sometimes I’m inspired to head out in the afternoon. Definitely not the evening, unless it’s for a walk! I had two great afternoon runs yesterday & today – 4.9 on the treadmill yesterday & 3.02 outside today, which is an outside pdr for running!
I much prefer running early when no one’s around and to get my blood moving for the day but have NOT been motivated to get up early lately. I’m thinking of moving it to right after work, since I’m already up and it’ll give me a nice jolt of energy later.
Hi Lindsey! I am a morning workout girl fo sho! But this really only applies when I have a 9-5 job. Read: not living in Spain with a “make up your own schedule” schedule. I must say it’s nice to fit in a 12 noon yoga class. I am enjoying it while I can 🙂
Sorry – LindsAy! I hate it when people misspell names. 🙂
I prefer running around 9 pm because I have more energy then and I work off the stress of the day, making me relaxed before bed time. I did that all four years of my college career but now that my schedule has changed due to grad school I usually go in the morning when I have more time!
For a workout this week I am starting half marathon training–wooooh!
