Sorry about this missed post last week, but I have been battling a cold for over 2 weeks now, and I all I managed to get in for exercise is the #2weekchallenge. Thank goodness for @mrbookieboo's accountability or I may not even have gotten that in. I'm hoping for a better week this week, but I still have a nagging cough. My plan is to add Turbo Fire workouts in and run 3 times this week.
This week we're talking about how we fit workouts in, and as a busy mom of two that is very difficult. I am not a morning person, so I have a hard time getting up to do them before work, which would be the ideal time to get it done because then I would be sure that nothing would get in the way. Most of the time, I workout at lunch time. It's easy to get a 1/2 workout in, and a quick shower if I need it and then head on back to work. Luckily I can eat at my desk, so this schedule is usually ideal for me. My puppy likes to run with me, so I usually save my runs for the evening and take him along. Another plus for me is when my youngest plays soccer. They have a really nice paved path around the park, so I can usually get between 4 and 5 miles done while he practices. This will be starting up again next week, so I have no excuse ;)
How about you? How do you fit your exercise in?
4% no excuses! Love that!
ReplyDeleteMe too, Dee!
DeleteI use to not be a morning person either, and still kinda aint, but when I feel like it, I will do some yoga in the morning and then try to fit in two other exercise times.
ReplyDeleteLove that 4%, totally doable!
good plan :)
DeleteI love the idea of walking around the park during soccer practice, I saw someone else post about this the other night. I don't have kids so no soccer practice here, but I do have two dogs and they keep me active :)
ReplyDeletedogs are a wonderful way to get some exercise in. I bet they love to go for walks
DeleteCheck Black Elderberry to help boost your immunity and beat that cold! And love reading about your runs!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! I will do that Toni :)
DeleteI love it, and I agree no excuses. So glad you remind me this. I have been busy at work and it would be easy to find a excuse
ReplyDeleteexcuses are so easy to form. Just have to take that first step and we will get it done!
DeleteGreat post!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are back :)
Thanks, Jeanae!!!!
DeleteFriends hold each other accountable. I have my gym friends who do different classes with me, and hiking friends who encourage me.
ReplyDeleteSo true, Caroline!!! I have a running partner that I run all my races with and we keep each motivated to train!
DeleteThat's such a great motivator, it's only 4% of your day. You've got a great routine to fit in your exercise.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elizabeth!
DeleteLove the graphic! I get mine in during my lunch time too.
ReplyDeletethanks, Martha... it's so much easier for me to do it at lunch
