Well I did it again...signed myself up for another workout challenge. Except instead of only lasting 5 weeks, this one is a year long. A few weeks ago I had made one of my goals to workout 5 days a week (M-F). I figured the best possible way to achieve this is to put it in my calendar and to go immediately after work. Last year I had made it my goal to workout twice a week with my trainer, which I accomplished (for the most part). Time to up the ante.
This is what I had planned before I got wind of the challenge:
- M- 1 hr lifting and 20 min cardio
- T- 1 hour cardio
- W- 1 hour lifting and 20 min cardio
- Th- 1 hour hot yoga
- F- 1 hour cardio
The challenge I just signed up for is to run/walk 1000 miles in 2012. That rounds out to 2.75 miles per day (or 20 miles per week). So I am going to have to run/walk at least 5 days a week. This is what it is going to take:
- M- 1 hr lifting & 2 mile run
- T- 2 mile run & 3 mile walk
- W- 1 hour lifting & 2 mile run
- Th- 1 hour hot yoga
- F- 2 mile run & 3 mile walk
- S- 6 mile walk
Does this sound too ambitious??? Do you have workout goals for 2012?
you are a workout warrior! i am attending my first session of crossfit bootcamp tonight...it's a month long situation. i am slightly scared!
ReplyDeletein general though, i just want to make working out a part of my general lifestyle rather than thinking of it as this big, insurmountable thing.
You are totally right. I started with just 2 days a week over a year ago I used to try talking myself out of going EVERY DAY (nothing against you James) but now it is such a habit that I feel I can do this 1000 mile challenge.
ReplyDeleteNow I only try to talk myself out on Mondays ha!
