I was never sporty growing up. It might have been the 4th grade softball experience when I was on the E team...or the 8th grade basketball season in which I scored 2 points {total...for the season!}. Whatever it was, it wasn't sporty.
About three years ago, on a whim, I bought a Denise Austin workout video. I'm already a morning person, and I discovered that a workout in the morning not only felt good but it bought patience for my kids in the afternoon. A year...and many workout videos later...I joined my local gym. The gym is literally 2 driving minutes from my house, and a nice walk when I have more time. The best thing about the gym, is that I have met a whole group of friends there who also love the 5:30 am time slot. With my working-mom days and soccer-mom afternoons, 5:30 am is time that's just for me. I get a great workout in, take a class and have some social time too!
I always do better when I have a goal, so last year I competed in my first 2 sprint triathlons! It's kind of like 0 to sporty in 37 years :) I am looking forward to 3 sprint triathlons this summer and an 80 mile bike ride in September.
This morning I had a great weights workout with my good friend Tessa. We started with some abs, worked on our arms and ended with legs. We'd done a hard workout yesterday, and didn't push it too much today. My regular schedule is:
Monday - Spinning (I love this class!)
Tuesday - Short Elliptical & a Weight Lifting class
Wednesday - Weights workout with friends
Thursday - Swimming workout or Endurance swim
Friday - Run
Saturday - If I have time I like to take a weight lifting class
I also love yoga. My regular class was canceled, but I work it in whenever I can. Often it's in the hall while my kids are in the tub!
What's your regular workout? Do you have any events you're looking forward to?
