Welcome to the March Progress edition of "Go For the Goal". I have to admit that I have been dreading this post, and many of you know why. Due to injury, I have had to put my major goal of running a sub-2:00 half-marathon on hold. I suppose that DOES mean that my goal of taking rest days when I need them is off the charts! HA! However, I DID have another goal of incorporating more cross-training into the mix, and I suppose that I've had no choice. Here's what I've done...
As much as I love Flywheel for my spinning, I knew that I couldn't afford to spend $25/class, several times a week, for six weeks. That would just be insane, in my opinion. So, my husband (ever the researcher) crunched some numbers and suggested I join a month-to-month gym. This way, I could cancel when I felt better, and I had unlimited spinning, yoga and strength classes at my disposal for $35/month.
Perfection. I could totally be a gym rat again! Or, did I mean GYM CAT??? (That was for you, Christy.)

To say that I've taken advantage of this opportunity is probably an understatement. See what happens when I can't run, people??? I overdose on classes! HELP!
Monday: Barre Burn class at Indigo Studio (I still have a Groupon deal here and a few more classes left. When broken down, this class was $4! BOOYAH!)
Tuesday: Spin Class at Flywheel (My last one for awhile...sads)
Wednesday: Yoga/Pilates combo class at gym, plus 30 minutes of abs/strength
Thursday: 90 minutes of cycling / swimming laps in the morning & Bar Method class in the evening (It's ok. I know I have a problem. The first step is admitting it. Plus, I am on spring break with entirely too much time on my hands.)
Friday: REST
Saturday: Zumba & Arms/Abs/ASSets class at Indigo Studio (Note: Zumba is SO not for me. And what is with these women who flirt with themselves in the mirror?)
Sunday: 45 minutes of cycling at the gym, plus 30 minutes of abs/circuit training
Don't worry. I promise I won't turn into this girl...

How are your goals coming along? Feel free to link up below!
I love that you take so many classes! I have heard awesome things about Flywheel. It is too bad it's so $$$! I thought I saw a Groupon or something for them awhile ago, but I wonder if even that was a deal!
ReplyDeleteGym Cat, lol!
Holy man, I wish I had half the energy you do for taking classes! BUT Boyfriend just moved into a place with an indoor pool and workout area. I think I may need to take advantage.
ReplyDeleteIm considering re joining my old gym....or going to like a big gym which is so not my thing...you're awesome!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to get back into the gym!! I'm jealous of all the classes you go to.
ReplyDeleteWow - good for you for trying so many classes! I've been very lax about going to the gym lately but hope to get back into a routine next week. I like my zumba class, but I like the more "dancey" workouts anyway. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a gym membership, and i am always afraid to go into the classes for fear of embarrassing myself! i HAVE to get over it!
ReplyDeleteYou just can't rest can you? ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great! I love that you try so many classes, I really need to try something new.
ReplyDeleteThat picture with your cat is hilarious! Thanks so much for commenting on my GNO wine tasting. It was so much fun!

Good for you with your workout schedule!! I love group classes as a supplement to running--mixes things up and makes both seem more fun to me!

Wow, this is exhausting just to read. Awesome, but exhausting. I'm actually inspired just reading it.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you've been doing awesome!!! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteLove that you are staying active. I miss running soooo much! I tried to go the other day for 3 miles but my leg acted up again. Not sure what I have - pretty sure that I have tendentious and at some point need to go to the Dr. Anywho, I've been a gym rat too but haven't been able to go lately because of the leg. Gah!! Will ice it and hope to get back to the gym soon or I'll go crazy. Glad you are having fun at the gym lady!
