So I am changing things up in a major way....shaking it up so to say....
I still plan to run 5 km 2 x a week, and run between 8 & 10 km 1 time a week.
This will be Sundays, Mondays and Friday nights
Every other Thursday night I meet with my personal trainer.......she is awesome..truely pure motivation...wish I could motivate myself this good.
My new workout regime will be able to take place at home and at the gym....
At least 10 min cardio to start...
Then free weights....reps of 15-20 x 2 starting with 12 lb weights
arm curls, chest press while lying down, squats w weights, something I'd like to call "the bug" from standing position w 8 lb weights crawl into lying position on the floor and using the weights bring yourself to standing position.
In between every set ofcourse we have to keep our heart rate up....so jumping jacks, jump squats etc in between...
then ofcourse some ab work.... the starfish, crunches
This routine needs to be done about 3x a week...
I plan to do this on Tuesday, Thu and Saturdays...and
ofcourse lets not forget about Pilateez on Monday Nights...
So it looks like the only night I get off is Wednesday nights....
I absolutely love free weights.... I just set up a mini workout area in my basement...moved my cross trainer down there...thank god I am so short.....my head was kissing the ceiling...
I will let you know how effective this new regime is...
however I know I have to get lean and mean with the diet again...
back to the good carbs....higher protein...low sugar diet that has brought me this far....
with one slight twist.... I know I have to consume many more carbs than before due to running so much
.....
Need to prepare for 2 runs coming up...
I am going to run a 5km run next Sunday- The Ride n Stride for Autism in London....anyone who wishes to pledge me don't hesitate to respond...
and a 10km run on Sunday October 3rd in Stratford....I hope the weather is nice for this one as I am looking forward to running in this Scenic Venue.
Sending Strength Hope and Love,
Brenda
