Weekly Workout Schedule April 30-May 6

Please follow and like us:

 

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are ready for a fresh week of workouts! This week’s workout schedule includes 6 workout days and one rest day. I encourage you to set yourself a goal number of workouts that you want to complete this week. Mark them down on a calendar as you go so you can see your progress. Having a visual aid for your workout days will help you stay on track and achieve your goals.

As always, listen to your body and adjust the workouts as needed. Focus on maintaining good form during each exercise. Push yourself, but don’t sacrifice form.

My first Half Marathon. I completed it in 1:46.

My personal workout schedule is going to be a little bit different this week. This is the final countdown to my Half Marathon. My race is this weekend. During my Half Marathon I am fundraising for Love146 to help prevent human trafficking of children. This is such an important cause. If you are able to make a donation every dollar helps! You can do so here: Love 146 Fundraiser. Your donation helps rescue children from slavery, and provide services and support to the children who are rescued.

I am filming new workouts this week and doing some light runs to make sure I am not too tired for my race on Sunday. This is the first time I am going into a Half Marathon feeling really worried. Although my IT band hasn’t been giving me any trouble I haven’t done any long runs at all. My training and even my normal running schedule has been minimal so my goal is just to get through the race. I have no time or speed goal. I just want to make it through with no discomfort or pain in my IT Band (or anywhere else!)

Next week I will be back to working out with you and following the schedule with you.

Have fun with the workout schedule! Let me know what your goal is, and if you enjoy the workouts!

Melissa
