The Calm Before the Storm

I am taking this weekend to relax and collect myself before I start getting too into my workouts and too buff  (enter sarcasm). I really am relaxing all weekend. I start my 6 pack dream to reality mission on Monday. I will get my body fat tested (by the pinch test method, mainly for fun). I will be eating better. But come on, it's me. I know I will continue baking and cooking great dinners. I will not banish myself from eat something I want. It's all in portion control. Instead of eating 10 cookies, I should only eat 1. I will fix my dinners on smaller plates and cut out drinking juice and stick mainly to water (and the occasional beer).


This is the calm before the storm of workouts. I will have Fridays and Sundays off of working out. Here's what I anticipate my weeks to look like:

Monday: Stair climber, ab mat work, leg weights, 60 min. ripped class
Tuesday: 6 mile run (running kicks my abs ass)
Wednesday: stairs, ab mat work, 60 min. spin
Thursday: 6 mile run
Friday: rest
Saturday: 3 mile run, at home ab mat work
Sunday: rest


What's your workout routine? What is your goal (ie: 5k training, marathon training, sculpted arms, etc)?

  1. looks like you have a solid plan. My plan is to be wayy more healthy. I was training for my first 10K but then sprained my ankle, and it really threw me off. I don't blame my missed workouts on that, but i am scared to reinjure. My 10K is April 28th.. and i'm still only running just over 4.5 miles!

    1. Personally, I think you'll be fine if you raise your mileage by 1 mile each week. Take it easy and have fun with it. Your first time should be about finishing and not the time. You'll do great!
