This weeks focus is strengthening the core which is why each day includes a 30 second plank. Back to a 5-day week of workouts. As usual, Monday was crazy and I couldn't get to they gym until late afternoon. All the treadmills were full, so I went grocery shopping and came back later. Then the treadmills AND the ellipticals were all full. Plan B - workout on Tuesday. So, I'm posting these as Monday through Friday, but the reality is Tuesday through Saturday.
Still trying to drink more water - I'm not sure why I struggle with that so much.
Monday - Endurance Training + 30 Second Plank: Cardio interval training kicked up another notch (5 min/1 min). Kept the slight incline and increased my sprint rate. Definitely tired at the end but made it through. 30-second plank wasn't so bad - at least my feet weren't moving!
Tuesday - Upper and Lower Body Circuit + 30 Second Plank. The Upper Body Circuit is from Week 2 (pushups, bent-over rows, tricep dips and hammer/bicep curls with jumping jacks in between) and the Lower Body Circuit is from Week 3 (squats, alt front lunges, single leg extensions and plie squats with jump rope in between). Once through with no repeats and end with a 30-second plank. I started with 5 minutes on the elliptical to get warm.
Wednesday - Endurance Training + 30 Second Plank: Same as Monday, only on the elliptical. Done and done.
Thursday - Quick Full Body Circuit I & II (no repeats) + 30 Second Plank: A quick strengthening workout that targest both upper and lower body. I still hate the push-up to T-lift, but they are getting easier.
Friday - Endurance Training + 30 Second Plank: Same as Monday. I was feeling a lot of stress today and needed to burn off some steam, so I added another interval and 30 seconds to the plank.
Week 4 is done!
