I told you all that I started LiveFit trainer again a couple weeks ago…well, I lost motivation. Or rather, I just decided it wasn’t quite what I wanted to do again right now. I think I was feeling it to be too rigid (though I was trying to change it up a bit) for having just come off a pretty rigid 1/2 marathon training program. So I’m listening to my body and changing things up again.
So what am I doing?
I’m loosely following the Tone It Up (TIU) Bikini Series workouts.
I say loosely for a few reasons – I want to feel like I have the flexibility to do what I want – I don’t like all of their workouts and therefore may change things up if/when I don’t like a workout – I want to listen to my body, however that may appear.
So far that’s been working out for me this week. And this is what it’s looked like:
Friday 4/26
2.58 mile run + foam rolling
Saturday 4/27
LiveFit Day 11 – Shoulders/Abs
Sunday 4/28
Monday 4/29
10 minute walking warm-up
TIU Biker Babe workout
Tuesday 4/30
TIU Sandcastle Workout
TIU Sunkissed Abs
35 mins walk
Wednesday 5/1
2.6 mile run
25 minutes YogaDownload.com – Heart Opening Flow #1
Thursday 5/2
20 mins stationary bike
Abs + stretching
How do you change up your workout routine?
Good for you for listening to your body! I want to follow the TIU schedule, but I can’t do that and BBB at the same time!
that would be hard! Maybe after? I’m only kind of following it because I don’t like all of their workouts…some are just a bit too “cheesy” for my style.
I like to mix it up by doing workout DVDs, going for a walk with a friend, running outside, doing tabata workouts and also circuit workouts 🙂
it’s great that you are listening to your body and changing things up! we are doing the same. we like do so different things doing the week. We are doing our best to follow the Tone It Up girls bikini series too, we are flexible too 🙂
I think it can be really fun to change up workouts. In 2012 I realized that I love to run and running had been pretty much my main form of exercise. I’m on the lookout for new workouts and am hoping to start swimming this week!
I never do the same thing twice. From barbells to DBs, machines to free weights, back first in the week to last day of the week…its always changing and my body loves it!
