Workout Plan Take 1

After trying the free online class from Gymnastic Bodies, I decided to go ahead and sign up for a month of access to all their classes. Even though I couldn't do the entire workout since I'm definitely not at the intermediate stage yet, I like how they structure the class and the "intensity" level. The instructors in the video are pretty laid back which gives the workout an entirely different feel than the "Okay here we go!!!" attitude that you see in a lot of videos. If you've ever done P90X you know what I'm talking about.

The more relaxed atmosphere the instructor's attitude creates makes me more comfortable trying things that I haven't done before. Let's face it, most of the work they're doing is gymnastics related so while I may have done a variation of the exercise, chances are it's all going to be new to me.

I'm also excited that they have different class levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). As a beginner, I want to do beginner things. Don't try to make me do the same workout as people who've been doing this stuff for years. I have a very hard time with wanting to be the best in the class and "winning" the workout. When I'm constantly pitted against something that I feel I can't win at, I quit rather than get frustrated over and over again. This means that when I have no idea how to do the moves or am constantly working with people who are obviously better at sticking to a work out routine, I'll leave a workout feeling upset and defeated. 99% of the time, I haven't gone back to things that make me feel this way.

Here's my workout plan for the week:
Monday: Online Class (30-45 minutes)
Tuesday: Short run (weather permitting) OR Online class
Wednesday: Short class (15 minute) & frisbee with puppies
Thursday: Online Class (30-45 minutes)
Friday: Rest (Walking!)

With these, I'm going to do a short post everyday talking about what I did, and I'll post my Fitbit results. Even though I don't know if people actually read this or would ever be interested, it makes me feel accountable so I'm hoping to use that as a motivator.

Oh and Scout was very good during the workout today. She just came and laid next to me and chewed an antler. Occasionally she did some of the stretching because it looked like I was play bowing to her. Too cute. Auggie.....let's just say he isn't welcome in the room while I'm working out for now.
