Leg day has rolled around again and as usual, I'm excited!!! I've been blogging my journey for some time now but since my focus has changed slightly I feel really excited and pumped for the things to come for me fitness wise.
Today, i just want to enjoy my training session. I may just live at the gym today. I plan on adding front squats to my leg day training as they are useful with keeping proper form in other exercises plus they are less taxing on the knees. I want to add some other stuff too like the overhead squat. I feel like my body is quickly adjusting to the movements I'm currently doing so I'm going to add some stuff and change up the order.
I'm gonna revamp my upper body workouts as well. I'm in love with the cleans and the jerks (which suck when it comes to men), so I want to become fluent in them. They will also help me shred as they can be performed with cardio in mind.
Abdominal work has been a thorn in my side (haha)! I never liked ab work but I must make it my friend. In boxing training, being hit lightly in the stomach with the medicine ball or while sparring is an effective way to wake up and work the abs. I'm going to get an effective ab routine together and encorporate it 3x a week beginning this week.
Yesterday, I ran outside in the cold and all the sidewalks are covered in snow and ice so I ran against traffic in the street. I'm sure that pissed some drivers off. Oh well. Anyhoo, i ran nearly 5 miles in 1hr4 mins which I'll take as it was my first day running in a while.
I love running! It's so freeing and once you are done you feel like there's nothing you can't do. I plan on running a ton over the spring and summer. I'll enter a few charity races and collect some bling! :-) I truly want to run a 1/2 marathon my next birthday which is in July. That's what I'm shooting for. By the time I'm 50, I want to run a full marathon! We shall see.
WHAT I WANT out of all these fitness goals is to be fully functionally physically. I don't want to have a bunch of muscle but can't run a mile. I don't want to be able to run 10 miles but can't open a jar of pickles! I want to be able to meet any physical challenge placed before me, whether in the gym or in day to day functions, with the physical ability to KILL IT!!! That's it that's all! The more physically fit and versitile I am, the better off I will and the better off the people I train will be. Whatever it is you decide to do, do it to meet your own personal goals and needs and not because you read some where or was told that's how it should be done!!! DO YOU!!!
