May (fitness) Goalz

Starting out the month strong…not. Too sick to risk exercising and getting sicker.

Hokay…but I can still have May gizoals since I have every intention of being better by this weekend. Here dey go…

1) Plank Challenge -inspired by earlier reblog

  •  Plank exercise MWThF and Sundays (or whatever day I do my long run) -note the Tuesdays are NOT included- that’s my ultimate rest day for everythaaang
  • Planks will increase by 15 seconds each day- today I will start (despite the sicky part…whatever) with as long as I can so I can actually get something out of this plank challenge
  • Depending on how the first week goes- I might increase the time increases for each day (ie 30 sec increase instead of 15) and/or may lessen days
  • Ultimate plank goal: 6 minutes. Let’s get it.

2) Finish Marion half marathon in 2hrs 30 min (about 10.5mph)

3) Weight training!!!

  • I have pretty much less than basic knowledge of weight lifting…but I really want to start because I want to tone up and get stronger!
  • Soo…with this goal, I need another goal: LEARN the basics of weight training

4) Go to yoga class at least twice a week 

5) Pilates class ONCE a week (at LEAST!)

6) Push-up Challenge —> similar to Plank Challenge

  • Started yesterday (May 1st) with 20
  • Goal is to increase by 5 on ODD numbered days…so just 20 today (phew/thankgod)
  • Ultimate goal: 100?!?!?!?!?! (woahhh that seems hefty…after first week will need to figure out if realistic or not)

Overall—> Getting back into it; finals are over next week and I’ll have more time to have more motivation/ less excuses. Let’s gooooo, swimsuit season here I COME!
