My New Training Schedule

Well, Tough Mudder Minnesota 2013 has come and gone.  So, what's next?  I signed up for a 1/2 marathon at the end of October and I have general fitness goals of dropping total body fat percentage and gaining more muscle definition. 

In the efforts to jump start this, I created a new 6 week training schedule for myself.  Some of you might think it is insane, too much, or too aggressive but I call it getting me to my goals.  Without continually pushing my limits, I will never know what I can achieve.  I'm the type of person that if I have a plan in place, I am more apt to follow it.  Structuring out my week like this allows me to schedule and prepare as need to keep myself accountable.  Once the 6 weeks are over, I will tailor it as needed to prep for the 1/2 marathon.

WISH ME LUCK!

peace & love

Totally Toned Body Workout

If you are seeking to get a totally toned body with some effort and discipline, then I would throw this workout plan at you and say, "Try it!"  I would also say tighten up your nutritional intake and eat as clean as possible.  If you don't know what that means, goggle it.

 

This workout is based on continually confusing your body.  If you do the same old routine week after week, your body acclimates and plateaus... leaving you with no progression.  An effective way to train is to shock the system and work muscles in a different way.  This process allows for continued improvement. 

You will perform circuit A on Monday, circuit B on Wednesday, circuit A on Friday and circuit B on Sunday.  Circuit A is done with higher weight for less time in reps and more rest.  Circuit B is done with lower weight for more time in reps and less rest.  You will complete the circuit for a total of 2 sets.  IF this doesn't push you hard enough, increase to a total of 3 sets.  Try to stick with this for several weeks and you should see a progression in body shape and strength by week 4-6.  Also increase your weights for both circuit A & B with each week.  GOOD LUCK!

peace & love
