If you read my last post, you knew to expect this one. If there's one thing I'm not, it's unpredictable. I'm a very predictable person. So... here I am, as expected, telling you about my working out.
So, also as expected, I have some goals for my working out (and my eating habits, but I'm not really going to address that here... ooooohhh... could that be another post? Will writing 4 times truly be that easy? Or will something happen that acts as a deterrent with which I must deal shrewdly before I can finally emerge the victor? Stay tuned!).
Anyway...
Goal 1 - workout 6 days a week. Since it's summer, this is actually pretty easy to accomplish because we have few obligations. So, I want to take advantage of this now, seeing as how I don't really know what the school year will be like with all the kids gone. If you don't know what I'm talking about then I have just one thing to say... did you even read my last post?
Goal 2 - lose belly fat and outer thigh fat. I'm being realistic here. I've never had thin inner thighs, and I've realized that I never will. So, why even bother?
Goal 3 - keep a well-balanced workout routine... meaning that I need to have muscle work (does anyone else always pronounce "muscle" in a Popeye voice, or is that just me?), cardio, and stretching incorporated.
So here's my plan for the summer:
I found this great channel on YouTube called "XHit Daily" and they post a new video daily. Looks like I'm not the only predictable one. So, I just do whatever video they post for the day. That way, I get lots of variety, but if I don't like the video I never have to do it again, which is pretty huge for me. I have spent the last 2 years doing a video series of 12 videos that rotate through a calendar, and I liked 8 of them, but for some reason, it was impossible for me to skip the ones that I didn't like. I felt like I needed to do them because they must be in the program for a reason.
After my XHit video (which can range anywhere from 7-25 minutes, also a good thing for me), I find an ab routine on YouTube. I do abs every day because they are important and they can handle it, unlike some other muscles that need a break in between workings.
Then, I do a stretch video. I just find a random one on YouTube. No big deal. I have a few that I've decided I like more than others, but I also like to mix it up to avoid boredom. Every so often, I put on Pandora and stretch on my own, but as I'm not a very motivated person, I can only do with every so often. I need that encouragement from a person on a screen who I have never and will never meet. I don't want to let them down by not following along. My main goal for stretching is to be healthy and eliminate pain, but I will also admit that I want to do this because I think it is hot.
(If you can't get enough of hearing about my fitness, might I direct you to this previous post about workout videos? It appears I have a very limited repertoire of subject matter.)
