Today's Workout (1/12/09-1/15/09)

As much as I expected to not do very much cardio this week, I was wrong. I tested myself monday night and ran on the treadmill. I figure if I could get through a half hour and feel ok, then I would do my normal cardio for the week. I didn't feel great after 30 minutes, but I felt ok.

1/12/09

1. 5 minutes Treadmill--Total--0.37 miles
2. 30 minute personal trainer session
3. 35 minutes treadmill--around 6 mph (SLOW for me). Total--3.39 miles

1. 30 minute cardio class
2. 30 minute bootcamp class

1/14/09

1. 35 minutes elliptical--level 2. total--4.07 miles
2. 30 minute personal training session

1/15/09--REST. It snowed last night so I worked from home today. that is no excuse for not working out since I have a fairly fully equipped gym in my house. But I was tired and lazy, so I did nothing. oh, wait, I did shovel the driveway, that counts for something, right? even if it was the lightest fluffiest snow I have ever seen.

Today's Workout (1/5/09-1/11/09)

I know it is very unlike me to rest this much, but it is very much needed. Trust me, I hate it. I am really missing my cardio. All I want to do is run on the treadmill, but I know I shouldn't.

My Vacation

I have been off from work since Christmas (I have to go back tomorrow--UGH!) I was able to get in most of my normal workouts, give or take a little. The gym I go to is currently being renovated and right now has almost no cardio equipment...Not that that should matter for me, I have a treadmill and an elliptical in my basement, set up with at TV w/ cable right in front of it. I have NO EXCUSE! But I did a good job of filling in my cardio for the two weeks with either bootcamp classes or running.

For the last for days I was in VT with my husband, sister, and future brother in law. They all went snowboarding, but not me. I was all excited because there was a health club with a pool that I could use for a daily fee. My excitement quickly turned to disappointment. This health club that cost $15 a day had only 3 treadmills, 3 ellipticals, 1 stairmaster, 2 spinning bikes, & 2 stationary bikes set up for their cardio section. I was lucky to even get a machine! and the pool...I was SOOOO excited about the pool. I was on the swim team in high school and I love to go swim laps, I usually do it for about an hour straight and have to force my self to stop! this pool was not the standard size pool for laps. I'm not sure why, usually a "health & racket" club would have a standard size pool, but not this one. it was tiny. 5 strokes and I would be at the other side. Plus, people were bringing their kids in to swim for fun, so there was no way I would be able to swim laps with all the kids in the way. I didn't swim at all :( BUT, I did get a nice massage :) I figured if my husband could spend the money on 3 days worth of lift tickets, then I could spend the money on a massage. That was SOOOO worth it. So now I am nice and loose and relaxed. All set to start up my training for the new year. This years training is probably going to be a little bit different for me, much less intense, but for good reasons.

Today's Workout (12/27/08 & 12/28/08)

12/27/08--went to bootcamp, and I actually felt great when I was done. I got home and did a quick 2 mile outside run with my husband (it was drizzling and I have no idea why we decided to run outside!)

1. 50 Minute bootcamp class
2. 20 minute outside run--Total--2 miles

12/28/08

1. 45 minute outside run--Total--4.08 miles. It was unusually warm out today (upper 50's) so I took advantage of it and ran outside. I was slow compared to how I normally run, but that is ok.

Today's Workout (12/26/08)

I went to my bootcamp class this afternoon. I still took it easy and went at my own pace, which was MUCH slower than my normal pace. I feel good now. Normally I would come home and run on the treadmill after, but I am skipping that part. it was a fairly easy class, not too intense, and anything that involved jumping I pretty much altered so that I didn't have to jump. I did squats instead of jumping squats, back lunges instead of jumping lunges...I kinda feel like I didn't get the best workout, but I don't want to push it too much yet. On a better note, I am on vacation until Jan. 5th! I'm going snowboarding with my husband, sister and future brother in law next weekend. I probably won't be snowboarding much, but I will be using the fitness center, which has a pool. YAY for swimming!

1. 50 minute bootcamp class

So there you go. there aren't many details because I can't remember the details. I've been slacking a bit this week. I've been having some issues and just trying to take it easy for a bit. I'm going to a bootcamp class today, so hopefully that will go ok and I will be right back into my normal workouts.
