The clock is ticking! With only 1-month to go before the boot camp I'm attending in Los Angeles I cannot make any more excuses for not getting myself on a consistent exercise routine.
Trust me; I have used every excuse imaginable over the past few weeks - from feeling a cold coming on, to having a crimp in my neck, to work and family obligations. The one constant that has kept me from totally throwing in the towel has been my support network, both offline as well as online. The messages I receive from the MindBodySanctuary readers, as well as the Catapult Fitness Blog readers are incredibly motivating and truly make me feel accountable. I simply do not want to let any of you down and not be able to complete this darn boot camp! So, for the next month I am 100% re-committed to this process. My training schedule will be:
Monday: Push-up training; circuit training
Tuesday: Spin Class
Wednesday: Push-up training; circuit training
Thursday: Spin Class
Friday: Push-up training; circuit training
Saturday: High intensity interval training
Sunday: rest
I find it extremely helpful to have put a schedule in place. This way I don't need to think about what needs to be done, I just need to go do it. Oh, last but certainly not least, I am finishing up week 3 of the Hundred Push-Up Challenge. Yesterday I completed 20 consecutive push-ups, which is a personal best. I know that it nowhere near 100, but I'm thrilled with the progress. How is everyone doing? Write and let me know!
Train hard; stay strong.
