It's been too long....again. Oh, I think I said that in the last post I made---almost a month ago.
Well, what's happened since....
I finished the 30 day Shred program! HOORAY! It was very hard, but definitely worked well. It's the kind of workout that I wish I had all the equipment for in a basement home gym. It was hard to do at the gym sometimes with how you moved from one exercise to the next--NO BREAKS--to only a 30 second break between circuits. It was hard to navigate around people, machines, and come up with a quick plan B if a particular piece of equipment was in use. Not to mention--I always seemed to be in the way of the personal trainers that were working with their clients. Jillian should have just come to me--she would have scared people off from getting in the way AND helped get me in top shape.
Since then...I've started boxing 2 nights a week! It's been great. I started March 30, but I've only been able to go to 4 of the 6 classes. I don't anticipate missing any other classes, except for the next Union meeting---I missed for that before and the NCAA men's bball game.
So, boxing is Monday and Wednesday night from 7:30-9. I should describe this in more detail in another post---but it definitely works the upper body!
My plan for the next few weeks is what I'll lay out now and then give more detail later (I'm still trying to figure out for sure what I want to do with lifting).
Monday--am pilates class, pm boxing (I'll probably add in some assisted pull-ups)
Tuesday--cardio--some slow cardio and finish with HIIT cardio
Wednesday--am weights--focus on legs, shoulders, pm boxing
Thursday--cardio--HIIT cardio (will sub with running outside when weather improves)
Friday--am weights--full body
Saturday--light cardio, pilates class
Sunday--off
Alright, that's it for now....I'm searching the net for good weight programs. I'm still trying to get "shredded" as Jillian says, but I'm definitely coming along. I think, in part, I have my lovely genetics to love and loathe. I will likely stay pretty narrow throughout life, however, this also makes gaining muscle a challenge. I also like to bulk up in the thigh area--the first place for fat AND muscle to go, they seem to replace the other.....anyway, it's annoying me because I just want my jeans to fit the same all the time.
