Workout Schedule - week of 7/11/11

Since I was out on vacation most of last week but was still able to get some workouts in, I've decided that I am going to re-do Week 5 of my P90x/Insanity Hybrid.  Also, with the fact that I was on vacation and didn't eat great every day at all meals, I've decided that I am going to incorporate some two-a-day workouts.  So, here is what I am committing to this week as far as my workouts.

TUESDAY:
AM - Max Interval Circuit
PM - Run 2 miles or Interval Track Workout

WEDNESDAY:
AM - Back & Biceps / ARX
PM - Interval Training

THURSDAY:
AM - Max Recovery

FRIDAY:
AM - Legs & Back / Cardio Abs
PM - Run 2 miles or Interval Training

SATURDAY:

SUNDAY:
AM - X Stretch

What Will I Do???

Hey guys! I just returned from vacation today.  Every year my girlfriends and I do several trips.  We have such a great time that I always need to recover afterwards....LOL!

Well, this blog is about "What I Will Do" this week as far as my goals.  Below I have listed a couple (not all) of my goals for the week for each category under Physical, Personal, Spiritual and Professional.

PHYSICAL:
  • Complete at least three two-a-day workouts.
  • Complete Shakeology Cleanse Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday.
PERSONAL:
  • Pay all bills that are due this week, on time.
SPIRITUAL:
  • Spend at least 15 mins each morning in devotion time.
PROFESSIONAL:
  • Read at least two chapters from my personal training book.

Bike Ride in Miami

Well today was my last day on vacation in Miami.  Yesterday, I got up to go bike riding and I was moving slow, watching tv and when I headed outside, it was raining!  UGH!  I was so disappointed.  It rained most of the day and by the time it stopped, I wasn't in the mood to go riding.  This morning, I decided to get up bright and early so that I could get it in.  I loved every bit it!  The people that were on the beach exercising were so beautiful. There were so many people that were out there from diverse backgrounds.  As I was riding my bike, I was just smiling looking at all the people out early not making any excuses.  I'm so glad that I was able to get it in.  I love Miami and can't wait to come back!  :)

4th of July workout......

Well....I meant to type this blog yesterday but I was enjoying the day so much with family which is why you are getting this today.  :)  I hope that everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July.  Yesterday as part of my workout I was supposed to do P90x Chest/Shoulder/Tris and Cardio Abs.  I was in somewhat of a funk but decided that I had to do something!  So instead I decided to do 40 mins of interval training.  I completed 2 different workouts.  Can I tell you I was BEAT and dripping with SWEAT!  Oh man.  In the end, I was so glad that I ended up doing something.  I'll make up my workout from yesterday in addition today's workout.  Make sure y'all check on me to make sure that I'm still alive....LOL!  Any who....be on the look out later today for my "How Did I Do" you tube video that'll be about my 4th of July weekend eating habits and workouts.  You can find it at www.youtube.com/1fitmom4life.  Have a great day!

Core Synergistics

Have you ever done P90x?  If not, you should try it.  This workout - Core Synergistics is NO JOKE!  This is my recovery week for my P90x/Insanity hybrid, day 23.  I tell you what - I had more sweat on me than some of my cardio workouts.  I love this workout because it works your ENTIRE body and your core is the center of it all.  My abs feel stronger just after doing this workout.  If you haven't done this workout, you should add it into your regimen.  It's now one of my new favs.

Saturday's Workout - 6.25.11

So, today was Day 19 of my P90x/Insanity hybrid.  I completed Pure Cardio from the schedule.  That workout is so BRUTUAL!  I mean, starting off with the warm up, I have to wipe off!  As Shaun T says, "I'm spitting sweat!" LMBO!  By the time I'm done, I am drenched in sweat!  I could do that workout several days a weeks and not get bored.  Since my rest day is tomorrow, I decided to step it up today and complete TWO bodyrock workouts (www.bodyrocktv.com) - Take Me Exercise Challenge and Wild & Free Exercise Challenge.  I only ended up doing 5 rounds of the Wild & Free Challenge because sweat was running down my face so fast, I couldn't see.  And as soon as I wiped it from my face, it was there again.  It was messing with my concentration too much.  I felt I had already killed it enough today, no need to kill myself!  HA!  Now I'll enjoy the rest of my day and tomorrow's rest day will either be X Stretch or Yoga......I'll need it!

Day 17 - P90X/Insanity hybrid

Today was D17 of my p90x/insanity hybrid.  All I can say is that my legs are still on FIYAH from my morning workout!  I love it when I can have a burn that lasts ALL DAY long!  It lets me know that I put in some serious work.  The schedule only called for Cardio Recovery but I hadn't done a HIIT workout in a few days so I also added TF HIIT 20.  I still love my TF workouts and try to add them in when I can.  I'm so glad that I did.  In just a few weeks, I'll be taking updated photos for my first 30 days.  Hopefully, I'll see some sort of change that's taken place.  :)
