Workout Plan: Week of February 17, 2013

I realize I sounded like I lost it in last week’s post. I was overwhelmed, but the week ended up working out just fine. I’ve got one more busy week before I go away for the weekend and get a much needed rest – rest from working out, rest from busy weekends, rest from technology, rest from wedding planning. It will just be me, the Ander and the pup in a hotel. I can’t wait.

Until then…

 

Dori’s Shiny Workout Plan for the week of February 17, 2013:

  • Sunday – Refine Method (1 hr)
  • Monday – Rest
  • Tuesday – Refine Method (1 hr)
  • Wednesday – Refine Method (1 hr)
  • Thursday – RIP Ride at Revolve (1 hr)
  • Friday – 3 mile treadmill run
  • Saturday – Rest

How did my crazy week last week go?

  • Sunday – Refine Method (1 hr) – Complete!
  • Monday – Rest – Complete!
  • Tuesday – Refine Method (1 hr) – Complete!
  • Wednesday – Body Ride at Revolve (45 min) – Complete!
  • Thursday – Refine Method (1 hr) – Complete!
  • Friday - Spinning (About 1 hr) – Complete!
  • Saturday – Teaching spinning (50 minutes) and Refine Method (1 hr) – Complete!

A perfect week and it wasn’t even bad! Really, the only times I didn’t feel stressed last week were the times I was exercising. Teaching my second spin class went well and I promise I’ll talk more about that soon and add a tab to this blog with all the info about my teaching schedule, playlists and more.

I’m happy with my workouts and thankful (I know I keep saying this) for the Refine Resolution Challenge for forcing me to get to classes I otherwise would have skipped. Accountability is a very good thing.

How are your weekly workouts going during the coldest and most annoying month of the year?

Workout Plan: Week of February 10, 2013

Crazy week and I am keeping this brief. I am barely functional right now. I am overwhelmed, excited, crazed, exhausted and emotional. I have about seven posts half-written in my head (and about three more half written in WordPress). I mean, I want to tell you about the first time I taught spin and share my playlist and now I have two regular spin classes to teach every week and tell you about the CrossFit Jersey City 6-class Fundamentals Program + 2 regular classes I did and tell you a little about my wedding and also rant about why you should not buy a dog.

Instead, please settle for this half-assery of a post.

Dori’s Shiny Workout Plan for the week of February 10, 2013:

  • Sunday – Refine Method (1 hr)
  • Monday – Rest
  • Tuesday – Refine Method (1 hr)
  • Wednesday – Body Ride at Revolve (45 min)
  • Thursday – Refine Method (1 hr)
  • Friday - Spinning (About 1 hr)
  • Saturday – Teaching spinning (50 minutes) and Refine Method (1 hr)
I already want to plan next week and put 10 days of rest in it. But how can I get 10 days of rest into a seven-day week? Much less a seven-day week right in the middle of the Refine Resolution Challenge and teaching spinning. I may be laughing at myself for thinking I might up my challenge for March earlier this week. I may have overextended myself. I may be overreacting. I may be exhausted at 8:36 pm after being awake since 5:00 am. I may have a sleeping puppy on my foot. This may be us the other night.

Here’s how last week went:

  • Sunday – Refine Method (1 hr) – Complete!
  • Monday – Rest – Complete!
  • Tuesday – Rip Ride at Revolve (1 hr) – Complete!
  • Wednesday – Real Ride at Revolve (45 min) – Complete!
  • Thursday – Refine Method (1 hr) – Complete!
  • Friday - Run (3 or 4 miles) or Rest – Rest, complete!
  • Saturday – Refine Method (1 hr) – Revised workout plan. I stayed in Jersey because of the Nemo storm (since when are snowstorms named?) and went to the gym instead. I ran 4 miles on the treadmill in 36:00 and practiced spinning for about 20 minutes. I also did 40 pushups. 10 of those included lifting each hand off the floor in between each pushup (thanks for the cool move, Refine).
ALSO, if you want to try Refine for free, leave a comment here and I’ll make you my Valentine and send you a free class. It has to be by February 17 though, so get on that shit.

Many updates soon.
