I decided not to get Rachael's workouts only b/c I have some workout limitations and didn't want to spend money and end up having to modify things too much, but I did use her as inspiration to look back at my workout notes which led me to walking again!
Right now I'm walking on my treadmill (no incline) because it's been too cold to walk outside. I am currently walking 3 days a week one walk is a moderate pace and moderate distance (right now 3-4 miles), another walk is a speed interval walk currently walk 1/8th mile pretty fast alternating with another 1/8th mile cool down walk at an easy pace. I'm doing the actual walk interval part for a total of 2 miles and then add a short walk just to warm up and cool down and my 3rd walk I am doing an easy pace and working on my distance. I haven't bumped up my distance too much yet one week I didn't have the time and just did another 3 miles and the other week I did 4 miles. When I was doing alot of walking outside I would walk about 7-8 miles. I don't think I'll end up going for more than that, maybe a max of 10 miles but I'm sure I won't do that often just b/c of the time factor, but I'd at least want it to be 4-5 miles on my "long" day. For Ballet Beautiful I have only been using the Classic dvd. I do the glute bridge series twice a week and the inner/outer thigh together on the same day once a week. I'm working out 5 days a week, one day is an all upper body strength day and no walking at all. The 5th day is my free day to do my workout of choice. I will be switching up the BB workouts, same plan, just different workouts and for that I'll use sections from her Blast dvd. M-Rest Day T-Mod pace, mod distance walk + Glute Bridges W-Upper Body Th-Speed/Interval walk + Inner/Outer Thigh Fri-Rest Day Sat-Workout of Choice + Glute Bridges (I do the 2nd Glute Bridge series either Sat or Sun) Sun-Long walk One week my workout of choice was just an extended stretch day. Another week I did Amy Dixon's HiiT workout and followed the easiest modifier and another week I did another upper body day and added on Swan Arms. Since right now my focus is lower body, I'm pretty much making my upper body focus just maintenance. Originally I was going to do a split upper body on Wed and Saturday but didn't want to commit to an upper body workout every Saturday. So I at least do upper body once a week on Wed and then my core workouts which are mostly planks also work the arms. I'm enjoying giving myself a workout of choice day to do what I feel my body needs that day and/or what I have time for. I might restart Cathe's STS and just do one upper body workout a week, or stick to do whatever upper body workout I feel like for the day. On Mondays when the weather is better I will probably do a short walk outside sometime in the afternoon more for my mental health and just to be outside. Right now after work/errands it's too dark (and cold!). I'm also doing some core work 2-3 times a week whenever I can fit it in. That is mostly plank work, following a 30 day Core Strength plan I found on Darebee.com https://darebee.com/programs/core-strength.html |
