I just don’t have any excuse any more. Since I can make my own schedule, there just isn’t any reason for me to not workout. What would I say? Oh, my boss is going to be pissed if I’m late again. Yeah, not gonna fly. Believe me, I’ve tried to think of every excuse possible and I’ve got nothing.
So, the first thing that I do when I get out of bed is throw on some gym appropriate attire and make sure that I get moving. I figure if I stick with this grueling schedule, at the end of the 6 weeks, I’ll be all ready to lounge on the beach in Brazil!
Here’s my current workout plan:
1. No Kanye, give me reggae. Ok, this is going to seem very odd, but most of my “exercising” really comes from dancing around in my room. I throw on some reggae and just let myself move. It’s the best workout ever. I only add in the other stuff to trick my body.
2. Running stairs. Ummm, I’m not sure what possessed me to do this, and after the first time, I definitely thought I was going to die. I live on highrise apartment building. So, for some odd reason I decided to walk/jog/sprint from the first floor to the 18th floor in 3 sets. By the time I got back to my apartment, I collapsed. I haven’t worked out that hard since I was doing suicides on the basketball team. And I really can’t say that I missed the feeling. But supposedly, there is no better workout.
3. The good ol’ elliptical machine. I hate the treadmill. If I have my way, I’ll never step on one. I also don’t like to randomly run in the streets. I’m slightly clumsy so it just always feels like a bad idea. Instead, I turn to the elliptical machine. With my headphones on, I can usually zone out for about an hour.
So those are the exercises. I’ll probably try to work some weight training in next week. I also want to take African dance again and see what all this Zumba hoopla is about. Other than that, I eat a pretty balanced diet and try to stay around 1300 calories. I’ll let you know how this goes.
