I am a wreck when it comes to putting together a workout on my own. I am never really sure what to do and if I don’t have something written down I lose track. That is why I rely so much on the classes at the gym – go in, follow along, sweat my ass off and done! But I have wanted to challenge myself with more at home stuff, so I hit up Pinterest and found a few fun ideas that outlined the exercise and the reps. This one was the building block for my at home routine :
I will warm up with 2 minutes of jump rope, go through the exercise set, do 2 minutes of jump rope while hopping side to side, exercise set again, 2 minutes of jump rope hopping front to back, one last set of the exercises and a final slow jump rope cool down for 2 minutes.
I WILL do this workout on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings before I get myself off to work> I also have to travel for work on Friday to Las Vegas again for 5 days and I plan on brining my sneakers and jump rope and actually staying active this work trip instead of slacking like last time around. This is easy enough to follow, though I still have it written down!
Every now and then it’s nice to switch the fitness routine up and I feel that this is the boost that I need! Sometimes I have a hard time saying commited to doing the at home workouts so I am going post it on Facebook to make myself more accountable – also planning to do it early AM before work will make me treat it like an appointment before work.
An update on the jogging training is that I am still working on my 2 minute intervals. Some days I find it very easy and I push myself to go longer and other days it feels like those two minutes will never end. I am going to stay at the 2 minute interval until I feel comfortable for at least 5 consecutive jogging/walking sessions. My distance has increased from the 3k to the 5k so that is why I also might be finding the intervals a little long at 2 minutes. I however LOVE the fact that I am doing the race distance! I also feel so fit and accomplished after I see the number on the treadmill come up or I round the corner on the home stretch when I am doing the distance outside.
Yay to building up my activity level outside the gym and making great strides in my interval training so far. Pun totally intended
Until next time!!







BEST PART was when you said you feel so FIT and ACCOMPLISHED…LOVE THAT
Working out at home, finding the motivation, CAN be challenging. Sounds like you have a plan to stay accountable. LOVE the running intervals and feeling of accomplishment it gives you!
