What’s your current workout plan?

I am looking to change things up and need some ideas.

What’s your current workout routine?

My workout routines change often. One month I might focus on Margaret Richard then another on Ellen Barrett, theFirm or Pilates etc. I think mixing things up more often has helped me to avoid overuse injuries.

This month I am going to try to do more kundalini yoga. I hope to do it 2 or 3 times a week. When I first tried this type of yoga, I thought it a bit strange. However, I persisted in doing the workouts and discovered that it brings me to a state of bliss -not what one expects from a workout. Kundalini also helps a lot with spinal mobility and back issues.

I don't think I would make kundalini my primary focus though because I like to use weights too much. I also think cardio and other types of yoga are important.

Kundalini works more on rejuvenating one's spirit through breathwork and spinal moves. It doesn't do a lot for physical strength or endurance.

A few days ago I searched Cathe’s rotation vault and ran across the original Intensity Series rotation.

Intensity Series Advanced Total Overall Body Blast Workout
Bootcamp
Off
Muscle Endurance
IMAX2
Cardio & Weights
Pyramid Lower Body + first 5 intervals of Imax2
Pyramid Upper Body

I plan to stick with ME, PLB & PUB each week (for at least 6 weeks) and sub in other similar workouts depending on how I feel.

I won’t be taking a rest day after BC, so will do a steady state or kickbox workout.

I will be adding a day of yoga/stretch fusion after PUB and the 9th day will be a rest day, adjusting and adding rest days as my energy level dictates.

I completed Day 3 today and it has been great revisiting this series. Prior to this rotation I did 6 weeks of Gym Styles.

I’m also in the middle of a Lee Holden 30 Day Challenge, just completed Day 15.

Tomorrow will be an IMAX day, still undecided if it will be the original IMAX, IMAX2, or other.

I'm focused on building muscle mass, so I'm doing paper workouts every third day from New Rules of Lifting. I've been following the weight workouts with the stretchy relaxing portions of Yee's Yoga for Energy, which is one of the first VHS tapes I ever bought so my love for it runs deep.

The two days in-between I do barre (Sleek, Barre24, Les Mills) and mobility (BASE, Yin Yoga, Lastics, Bendy Body). This is what I'll be doing for the next couple of months.

I was just thinking about this! I’m more of a fly by the seat of my pants kind of exerciser, I just do what I like. I fell off the wagon (again!) recently due to injuries and life, but now I’m just trying to build back consistency so I’m doing what is appealing rather than what is challenging at the moment. I’m picking up beginner to intermediate workouts so I don’t feel discouraged and can just enjoy moving. I always have barre in my loose rotation though, but will supplement with Firm, Pilates, yoga. Powerstrike and Bodystrike workouts are on my up-coming plan to build in.

I’ve been going ham on the hand-to-mouth program. (Snacking my way through the pantry…)

But I’ve also been exercising. M/W/F/Sa = row 6k meters. (Approx 35 min because I’m slowwwww…). The other two days are where I’m fumbling. For the longest time, I was lifting heavy with Kaleigh Cohen or Cee…but I’ve lost the desire/motivation/energy. I need something to fill that gap. I’m thinking Powerfit Harmony? Maybe.

Since April, I’ve been weightlifting 5x week and subscribing to a fitness app that promotes progressive overload. It’s the first time ever I’ve lifted with this concept and I can’t believe how much my strength has increased. I walk daily and make sure to get 10+k steps daily.

I'm Lifiting with Cee every other day and doing mostly daneilpt fitness and Caroline Girvan (some growingannanas) on the other days. I do a pilates and yoga practice daily - one is a warm up the other a cool down.

My current rotation is:

M - Cathe Gym Style Back, Shoulders & Biceps; Yoga
T - Pilates; Yoga
W - Cathe Gym Style Chest & Triceps; Yoga
Th- Pilates; Yoga
F - Cathe Gym Style Legs; Yoga
Sa- Yoga
Su- Yoga

This is the third month I'm doing a Cathe Gym Style series rotation. I've been thinking of switching to something else, but I'm still enjoying this rotation.

I have a daily yoga practice (I follow the Yoga with Adriene calendar). Originally, my rotation was Cardio & Pilates on T/Th, but I never did any cardio on those days. I just add in cardio when I have the energy. Sometimes I'll do a rest day mid-week and catch up on the weekend. Or I'll add in another workout on the weekend if I can. I also like to do extra yoga on Sundays.

This past week, I did tai chi and dance fitness on Tuesday instead of Pilates. I took a rest day on Wednesday (I did yoga only), moved my Cathe workout to Thursday, and did Pilates on Saturday. I did a kickbox workout and yin yoga on Sunday. My workouts were a bit off schedule, but I was glad to get some cardio in for a change.



FitBoop, which workouts have you been doing?

Hi Everyone,

I have been in a bit of a workout funk lately - so I have been just plugging along as best I can. I did try a few new-to-me workouts with Burpee Girl and Burpee Girl Short workouts (she has 2nd channel w/ just her short workouts) - they are low dread, mainly bodyweight cardio/tone, music only, small space, barefoot type workouts.

But I would like to find something more structured to do - maybe I need a goal.

The Zone 2 Heart Rate training sounds interesting - can you elaborate rhbrand? Or recommend a good website? I'm a cardio girl, so I can see myself enjoying this.

Donna
