Fitness Goals

November 11, 2010

My exercise has come down to only running approximately 3 times a week. I would like to increase this and possibly run a 1/2 marathon in the spring. I have decided to take on another training program to increase my mileage and strength training. Having an end goal helps me stay focused and keeps me on a regular exercise schedule.

30 Day Shred challenge revamped. I think I tried to take on too many fitness goals and failed terribly. I did however keep up with some form of exercise until just last week. So it’s the 30 day shred and running for the next 30 days. I plan on running another 1/2 marathon in the fall so I have to keep up my running for not only my physical but mental well being.

I finally bought Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred (my reward for finishing my half marathon goal). I’m going to turn it into a 60 day shed alternating it with yoga workouts. What can I say, I like variety. These morning workouts should be a nice compliment to my midday BFL Exercise plan.

I took some starting measurements to hopefully show me results along the way:

• Weight:    127lbs
• Waist:    33 1/4″
• Hips:    36 1/2″
• Butt:    38″
• Thigh:    Left 22″, Right 22″
• Chest:    34″
• Arms:    Left 11 1/2″, Right 11 3/4″

Now that I have lost a bunch of weight, I am interested in toning up the loose fat around my muscles, which will hopefully help with the last 10 lbs I’d like to lose as well. I need something intense enough to work for short workouts that I can squeeze in during the day. So I decided to try the Body for Life Exercise plan, which alternates 20min cardiovascular and strength-training workouts, 6 days a week for 12 weeks. I may not see the same results of official challengers using EAS products, but if nothing else I’ll enjoy the benefits of the daily exercise. Which is my ultimate life long goal.
