Hello there!
My membership to the crossfit gym has expired today. I have to say it came at the right time because I've been wondering if I should stick with crossfit or get more focused on the weights in the gym. I'm seeing improvements from crossfit but I'm ready to start building some muscle and getting some burn from the weights! The nice thing is that if during my journey I do feel that I'm getting in a rut or need some motivation I can always go back to doing some crossfit workouts with my routine. I think that's going to be the key during this process, that when things get boring or I feel that I've lost the spark in my workouts I can shake things up a bit and find some activity that gets me going and keeps me on my path! I've really enjoyed crossfit and I find it to be very valuable. I think after my competition I'm going to pursue the Work out of the Day (WOD) style of crossfit rather than Metcon (which is not powerlifting focused). And one of my friends is coming to visit me later in April so we are def going to kill it at a crossfit class together!
So now I have to organize my workouts for the week. I'll be going from doing one workout on my own at the gym per week to doing 4 workouts at the gym on my own. Here is how I broke down my week by day!
Sunday: Cardio 45 min and Back
Monday: Cardio 45 min and Legs
Tuesday: Cardio 45 min and Abs/Chest
Wednesday: NO Cardio and Training with Coach Candice
Thursday: Cardio 45 min and Abs/Bicep/Tricep
Friday: Cardio 45 min and Shoulders
Saturday: Off
I've made a list of workouts for each body part so that I can create a routine for each day. I'll continue to relay the information from Coach Candice's workouts into my own workouts. But I've been feeling like I need to take my time in the gym a step up. It's time to start getting some soreness in my muscles ;)
Now I can take the intensity for "maxing" my reps for time or as many rounds as possible and start working on shaping the muscles. I'm hoping to see more definition in my muscles within the next couple of weeks!
In other news I got a new job!!!!! ***cue happy dance*** And now begins the fun on balancing my fitness and with work. I'll start making notes so I can post about how I pack my meals and nutrition on the go and fit in my workouts too! I start on April 2nd so I need to find a really awesome lunch box/cooler and a good gym bag between now and then so I can be prepared! I'll update on the bags I buy and how I'm able to pack for each day! I'm excited about this new opportunity!!! I hope your lives are filled with all kinds of positive energy wherever you are!
Cheers,
Ash
