weekly work out sept 17

Thanks! I'll look into it! With all the dog sports I do, I'll have to maybe let something go to try it.

Week of Sept. 17th.

1) Hit my step goal daily: 12,000 steps.

2) Water Goal daily 120 oz.

3) Weight train 3 times a week for 30-45 minutes.

4) Take 2 classes at the gym.

5) Bike ride 5 plus miles 2-3 times this week. (Weather pending)

This is basically my goal every week. I'm going to add swimming in and remove the bike when the weather makes it so I can't ride safely. Any ideas for anything else?

Edit to Update:

Mon/Tue/Wed on track for everything!

If you are already cycling, Spin class is really good. Of course, I prefer running, especially in the fall and winter. And yes, I have switched to swimming, mostly due to a shin splint injury I deal with daily but also for when cycling is not an option. I joined a new gym and their spin class doesn't fit my schedule (only during the day-like after 8am and then none after 5...who can do that??) but they do have an indoor pool with lap lanes so it really helps.

I'll look into the spin class. Right now I'm thinking about either buying weights to train at home or switching to a gym with a pool... I hear you about class times, the classes I can take is very limited. I don't know why they don't have more for when people are off work.

We also have another gym near us that is much cheaper and let's you bring someone with you and has no annual contract. Might look into that one, it's hard to find the right fit!

So sorry about your race, that sounds pretty awful :

I did my second ever half marathon yesterday. Today I've done as little as possible.

Tu - rest, maybe a short walk, yoga
W - pilates class
Th - easy run, yoga
F - zenga class
Sa - running, yoga
Su - pingpong with my mom (it's a workout!)

Gwen how did the race go?

It was hard! But I beat my previous half by 20 minutes so I'm pretty proud of myself. And I didn't die, which is an accomplishment in and of itself :)

not dying is a good thing..lol...Faster is always a huge accomplishment..20 minutes though...thats awesome..did you have a goal time or just too finish?

how did the race go. be easy on yourself make sure you walk and let the body recover

It was hard! But I beat my previous time by 20 minutes so I'm proud of myself. And I've only been training since, um, June 26th. Next one will be better :)
