I've been slacking. I used to be addicted to exercise - walking up early each morning to get in a half hour, staying constantly active throughout the day and then doing a little something at night, like strength training or yoga. For some reason, I've been in a slump. And I know my lack of energy and dull appearance is a direct effect of not exercising. I am resolving as of October 2, 2010 to make exercise a priority. In order to do this, I am aiming for the following (courtesy of Muscle & Fitness Magazine's Transformation Challenge):
Week 1-4
Monday: shoulders, abs
Tuesday: chest, biceps (cardio)
Wednesday: off
Thursday: legs (cardio)
Friday: back triceps
Saturday: off
Sunday: long run
Week 5-8
Monday: back, abs
Tuesday: chest (cardio)
Wednesday: legs
Thursday: off (cardio)
Friday: shoulders, abs
Saturday: biceps, triceps
Sunday: long run
I have a half marathon coming up in two weeks that I have done very leeetle training for, aside from a 5.5 mile run last Sunday which resulted in two day hamstring pain and blisters on my left foot (shoes were too tight from over-pronation correcting orthodotics!). Let's see how this week's run goes (hopefully 11 miles).
