Workout Plan: Week of January 21, 2013

I’ll share my planned workouts for this week and then get into how well I stuck to my plan last week.

Dori’s Shiny Workout Plan for the week of January 21, 2013:

  • Sunday – Refine Method (1 hr)
  • Monday – Revolve Mashup Body Ride (1 hr)  Interval treadmill run (3 miles, 24:44)
  • Tuesday – Real Ride at Revolve (45 min)
  • Wednesday – Refine Method (1 hr)
  • Thursday – Refine Method (1 hr) TBD – Run or Revolve
  • Friday – Rest
  • Saturday – Core Fusion Cardio (1 hr) Refine Method (1 hr)

Fucking trains on a holiday. I woke up at 4:55 this morning, waited for the train for 30 minutes to get to the 7 am Revolve class that I was really excited about (I do not know what a mashup ride is but I really wanted to find out) and when it finally arrived it was making an extra stop and there was no way I could make it to class on time. I’m really glad I got a workout in, but I did have to rearrange my Tuesday and Friday workout/rest plans.

As much as I don’t want to battle the trains again tomorrow, I’m going to go for it. I paid for an unlimited month of Revolve for $99 because it was such a great deal, and I need to get there four times to make it count.

The PATH trains have been having a really hard time getting it together after Hurricane Sandy. It’s been almost three months and I still can’t rely on it for getting to the city in any sort of timely manner. They used to post their schedules so I knew exactly when the trains were coming and I could plan my trip based on that, but they don’t share their schedule anymore. I hope they start again so I’m not waiting for 30 minutes like I was today.

Anyway: how did I do last week?

  • Sunday – Refine Method (1 hr) – Complete!
  • Monday – Refine Method (1 hr) – Complete!
  • Tuesday –  Spin at Club H (45 min) – Complete!
  • Wednesday – Rest – Complete!
  • Thursday – Run (Either 4 miles outside or 3-4 miles w/intervals on treadmill) – Took a 45 minute Real Ride spin class at Revolve instead after signing up for a month
  • Friday – Spin at Equinox (Special event, 90 min) – Complete! I think it was more like 100 minutes actually. The special event was getting certified to teach indoor cycling. More info on that soon!
  • Saturday – Refine Method (1 hr) – Complete!

I’m really happy with last week’s workouts. I exercised for six days with one day of rest, and even though I didn’t get to run I got another great workout in instead. Plus, I hit my Refine Resolution target. That challenge has already been so worth it for me. I’m able to go heavier in my challenge weights and I’m feeling a lot stronger.

How have you been with sticking to your workout goals so far this year?

pvBody Changes and Concerns

Thank you to everyone who signed up for pvBody through here!

There are some rumors going around the blogworld about changes to the pvBody program. While I don’t have all the details, the program name is changing to Ellie and will be focused on just one high-quality brand, rather than a mix of different brands. There will be an official announcement in the near future, and I will share everything I know as soon as I know it.

I don’t want to add fuel to this fire until I (along with the other ambassadors) have all the correct details. Getting angry and acting in haste wouldn’t be fair to you and it wouldn’t be fair to pvBody.

That being said, I have it in writing from pvBody that once the announcement about the change is official, anyone who signed up through my blog (or anywhere else) will have ample time to cancel their memberships. Additionally, if you decide not to cancel and instead wait for your next shipment, you can absolutely return it for a full refund if you aren’t thrilled.

By the time of the announcement, I will have an outfit from this new brand to try and review. If I don’t love it, I will tell you. If I do love it, I will tell you. You’ll be able to see photos and read my review, and you can decide then if you want to continue with the program or cancel it at no penalty.

I’m doing everything I can to make sure you are protected here. If you decide to cancel your membership now, I understand. However, I urge you to wait with me for the official announcement along with details, photos and my review of the new line. From what I’m told, this change is a very good thing, and I’m excited to learn more.

Thank you for reading, thank you for being supportive and thank you for your understanding.
