For a solid 6 weeks I have put in 2 workouts, Monday to Friday. I wake up at 5:30am and hit the gym for 1 hour, and sometimes 1 1/2 hours. My gym workout consists of the following:
-minimum 15 minute warm up on Tredmill
-15 minutes abs daily
-Focus group each day: e.g. Legs or shoulders/back
-cardio: e.g. jumprope, plyometrics
I've been loving the gym workouts. I try to avoid maximum weight and focus more on repetitions and super sets with light weight. Really, I just want to avoid getting a huge muscle butt.
On my lunch break I run. Oh how I love my lunch time runs. The beach is literally 2 minutes from the office and I run there most days. The coastline goes forever and you can choose a "rocky" route with legit hiking or the flat beach sand route. Either way, I'm able to get in a 45 minute-1 hour run 5 days a week.
Now that it's mid September the feeling of summer is oh so close. By late October it will be legitimately hot and humid again. I look forward to those runs very much!
Besides my 2-a-day routine, I've also started listening to audiobooks while I run. I thought I'd try it out after using the same 4 running playlists for the past 3 years. The change has been great and there's been a few occasions where I've purposely kept running just to hear to the end of a chapter. I know, I know, I'm a total nerd.
With Jason exercising twice a day as well, I don't see myself slowing down any time soon. Amazingly, I haven't felt the burn out and look forward to the next 6 weeks!
