Exercise plan for December - too ambitious?
I created my exercise schedule for December, and I am looking it over wondering if maybe it is too ambitious. Normally I do at least 1 hour of exercise per day, sometimes I miss a day - but for the most part I have stuck to it fairly well… I wanted to include some new exercises and increase the amount of time that I am working out. This is what I have come up with:
Mondays:
- 6:30pm - 1 hour REVS class (cycling (spin) - new)
- 8:00pm - 1 hour Deep H20 class
Tuesdays:
- 9:30am - 1 hour Force class (weight lifting)
- 7:10pm - 1 hour Mind, Body Spirit class (yoga, tai chi, etc - new)
Wednesdays:
- 4:30pm - 1 hour yoga class (new)
- 8:00pm - 1 hour Deep H20 class
Thursdays:
- 9:30am - 1 hour Force class (weight lifting)
- 6:30pm - 1 hour Breathe class (yoga, tai chi, pilates)
Fridays:
- 10:30am - 1 hour Breathe class (yoga, tai chi, pilates)
Saturdays:
- 10:30am - 1 hour Breathe class (yoga, tai chi, pilates)
Sundays:
- 10:30am - 1 hour Yoga class (new)
In this schedule my days off without any exercise would be December 24th, 25th, and 31st. Of course, on the 31st I plan to go to a rave and dance ALL night long! So - I would still be getting in some exercise. lol.
I was thinking that I would aim to get all of those classes in, but at very minimum get in at least 1 class every day, and then at least 2 days a week get in 2 classes. Gives me a bit of room in case something comes up. I really just wanted to get in a couple extra sessions of new exercise, to prevent a plateau. What do you guys think? You have seen what I did in November, is this a realistic goal for me?
I think you are wonder woman, so I think you can do it!!!
I think it’s awesome you’re trying new things, and doing different stuff will keep you from getting bored too.
Wow - as usual you have a great plan! If anyone can pull this off you can! You are such an inspiration!!
Shoot, I’m JEALOUS. I wish I had that much time to devote to exercise!!
I might be able to take a yoga class next semester, but it will be at 8 AM in the morning.. so I’m torn!! Plus, I’ve never heard of the type of yoga it focuses on.. I’ve a month to decide though, I added it to my schedule at least
It is doable, but sometimes marathon workouts can lead to burnout, not even necessarily physical, but like “Gawd, I am working out AGAIN”. I sometimes step it up like that for about a week, then re-evaluate how I am feeling and to make sure I don’t get to a point where I just don’t want to anymore. As long as you are enjoying the workouts and feeling good (not worn out or painfully sore), you should be fine.
