I have heard a lot of people
complain about 24 hrs not being enough I find 7 days not enough :). My problem is
deciding a good workout plan, I don’t feel like giving up on any of my workouts
and this results in me working-out minimum 6 days a week. Which OK but
sometimes I get really tired, my poor muscles are sore if I skip one of my
workouts then I am in more trouble because somehow my mind doesn’t let me skip
a workout I have this need to cover up my missed workout by adding that workout
to some other day. This way either I lose out on my rest day or more often than
less I do an extra work out on one of the other days and the cycle of tired
muscles continues
I feel like I want it all, I want
to improve my strength, I want to become
a runner, I want to try new classes and I am not willing to give up on any of
my classes, I have already stopped zumba because I can’t fit it in my schedule
any more.
My week looks like this (most of my sessions are 45 minutes)
Running (2 runs at normal speed, 1 interval training and
1 long run)
Spin/RPM (twice a week: Tuesday and Thursday)
Circuit/Body pump (once a week: Saturday)
20-30 minutes Hill training (once a week: Saturday)
Weights: 3 time a week (excluding body pump/circuit)
One day Rest
There are some new classes in the gym that I want to try
without giving up on my above schedule, doesn’t seem possible, so I am looking
at creating a better and more productive plan. Somebody suggested instead of
weekly plans I should spread all my workouts over two
weeks..
What do you all do? Do any of you go through this or am I
the only weird one?

At first, I wanted to do everything and do most things on alternative days, but it just didn't workout with my family's schedule. So now, I work out only on weekends, except my jogs/walks with Keebler. And I'm still in great shape! Don't be afraid to do a little less. The days of rest will make you even better on the exercise days. :D
ReplyDeleteHi Marion, I can't figure out if I am afraid to do less or if I just enjoy some of my workouts so much that I am not willing to not do them...I usually try and stick to 1 rest day but because of this schedule I sometimes workout twice a day...once before work once after work...I have to work this out soon
DeleteI totally get where you're coming from. I'm still trying to find some sort of balance and figure out how to get all my workouts in. When you find a solution -- let me know! :)
ReplyDeleteI am still searching :) as soon as I can make some sense of this weird situation I always find myself in I will share it with you :)
