I’ve come to realize this about myself, while I have decent running endurance, I don’t think I’m really in good shape in general. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m not in bad shape, but although I workout regularly, I don’t really challenge myself especially when I don’t have a set plan.
Enter set plan:
Last time Tina did her online bootcamp, I was in the middle of half-marathon training and I knew that if I signed up, I wouldn’t stick with it. The second round, however, started at a perfect time: today!
The first workout consisted of two chest exercises, supersetted (Is that a word? We’ll pretend it is.), two back exercises, supersetted and two shoulder exercises, supersetted. After that, we were to do a five minute cardio warmup, ten minutes of 60 second intervals and five minutes of cool down. For my warmup and cool-downs, I walked on the treadmill at 3.5. For my intervals, I did 7.2 mph for the hard part and 5.2 mph for the recovery.
Ass successfully kicked. I can’t even bother to smile for the camera. I don’t know why I don’t push myself as hard when I’m not following a plan, but I don’t, so this is going to be really good for me, I hope.
It took about 45 minutes, so I got home around 7:30 and by the time I took Murphy for a walk, it was 8. Fortunately, I made dinner last night and had leftovers for tonight.
This was Thai Zucchini Impasta Salad. It was really good but took forever to cut all the veggies. My hands were seriously starting to prune by the time I was done. I could just have sub-par knife skills though, who knows. Definitely something to prepare on the weekends, which I did, and eat leftovers during the week.
I like a plan too for my workouts! I always find I half ass it when I don’t have a workout plan to put into action. Hence why my workout today sucked. Tomorrow, I have a plan though and sweat will definitely happen.
That’s so exciting! Can’t wait to hear how you like it. I wish I could do Tina’s Boot Camp. Maybe post-competition.
That dish looks great too. I have been all about the peanutty Asian-inspired flavors lately.
Sounds like a great workout. I don’t push myself very hard. I should try to work on that.
I’m doing Tina’s bootcamp, too.
I’m like you–I really need a plan or something to follow to motivate and push myself. Except I didn’t do day 1. Not a good start!!
that is why I love classes!! I push my waaaaay more than on my own!
I like a tentative plan for my weekly workouts. Glad you had a great boot camp workout!
That is AWESOME! What a great idea, to join Tina’s bootcamp!! Sometimes it’s just the extra oomph you need to kick your own ass
You’re going to love Tina’s plan, i’m so glad you were able to do it this time. So much fun!
I LOVE that you’re doing Tina’s bootcamp challenge, she’ll kick your bum for sure! hehe!
Yikes, sounds hard. All I saw were words like “sets” and “reps” and I knew you had to be badass for a workout like that! Aka, it’s not for me
I’m sad I’m missing out on bootcamp this round but I tried to do it last time mid-training and I rarely did the workouts. This time, I’m mid-training again so I decided I shouldn’t sign up.
Haha I should do this.
So cool that you are doing Tina’s bootcamp! Can’t wait to hear all about it. I hope to be able to do one someday…once all this race training is over.
I’m a sucker for a plan. Good luck with it! I’m eager to read more on how you like it.
