Working out...

Well, I've got an official plan from my trainer for working out 5 days a week. The plan doesn't include Aerial Dance on Friday and Saturday mornings, or the Pilates I will do with her on Wednesdays. Those get to kind of be bonus times for working on core strength and flexibility. Here's what my plan is, and my ideal days of the week...

• Monday: Interval Cardio (20 minutes)
• Tuesday: Moderate Cardio (30 minutes) + Strength
• Wednesday: Pilates with Trainer
• Thursday: Interval Cardio (20 minutes) + Strength
• Friday: Aerial Dance Class + Endurance Cardio (1 hour)
• Saturday: Aerial Dance Rehearsal + Moderate Cardio (30 minutes) + Strength
• Sunday: Day Off

The interval training goes something like this...

Work rate: 3.7 mph, incline 6.5
Rest rate: 3.7 mph, incline 0

Work / Rest (in minutes)
1 / 1
2 / 1
3 / 1
3 / 1
2 / 1
1 / 1

followed by a 2 minute cool down to reach 20 minutes.

So far my week has been crazy and I have had a hard time finding a good workout routine. That's sort of the point of doing this training, so I'm still working on finding a routine I can keep on a regular basis. I am up early this morning to get my workout in because I'm doing endurance today (Day off? Well, I sort of took one of those earlier due to eating out with friends and getting home late and a busy day that didn't allow me to get it in earlier, so today is a workout day!) and I can type and do my hour on the treadmill at the same time. =D

My week generally looks like this:

Monday: 9 am conference call (though I can miss it and still listen to it later)
10 am gym (childcare for Eliana) - Interval Cardio
Tuesday: 9 am - 3 pm Josie (I can toss the girls in the stroller and walk for this workout)
3 pm - 4 pm Tutor Latin
6 pm - 9 pm Mary Kay
Wednesday: Pilates in the afternoon (1:30ish? I need to double check my calendar on that one)
Thursday: 9 am - 10 am gym (childcare for Eliana) - Interval + Strength
Friday: 6 am - 7 am Bible Study (Interval and/or Strength between 7 and 9?)
9 am - 3 pm Eliana at Amber's house
9:30 am - 11 am Aerial Dance
Saturday: 9 am - 10:30 am Aerial Dance
Sunday: 10 am - 11 am Church

I think those are my only set times for things, though I anticipate that this will be another crazy week as I work to finish my 50 faces. I need to do 4 before and afters each day to make my goal, so it will be crazy, but I WILL NOT sacrifice my workouts to accommodate my MK goal. =D

So there you have it.
