Here is what I have done in the past two weeks.
I don't have a specific schedule, but I generally workout 6x per week. I
need it to improve my mood and my body feels good afterwards.
When I'm at school, I workout 5-6x per week, but
it's extremely spontaneous when I go. I have worked out at 7 am, 10 am, noon, 3
pm and even 8 pm.
I really enjoy going to Crossfit and highly
recommend this kind of workout class to those who are interested. It's actually
one of the major things that I look forward to doing when I'm on a break from
school. I always leave feeling good that I accomplished a difficult workout,
and my mood is a lot better than when I came in. It also helps to workout with
a lot of people in the same room. Ever have one of those days when you workout,
but you feel so sluggish and tired? Well, going to Crossfit really lifts your
energy and motivates you to try harder. It's a race against the clock as well
as yourself. I also like getting feedback and corrections on my positioning and
strength training from trainers because I never get to lift weights when I'm at
school.
So by looking at this schedule, I don't expect you
to match this, but I want to show you that hard work certainly pays off. It's also good to have a few days a week where you are active and do different kinds of activity. Create a calendar and log the days that you would like to be active.
A year
ago, I could not run a mile with ease, I could not do pushups, I could not use
the ab mat to do sit-ups or put my heels together while doing a sit up, I could
not do burpees in a row and I could really only use 7 lb dumbbells and a 20 lb
barbell. Now, I can run several miles, blast through 100s of sit ups and
burpees in a day, and use between 35-55 lbs of weight on my barbells.
