Time to get back into shape
So I’ve been feeling like a lazy sack of crap lately. Being a student is a fairly sedentary existence, as is my work for the university (tech support). I bike a lot, and try to stay fairly active, but lately it isn’t enough.
So the plan is start working out consistently and seriously. But I still hate weight rooms, and I’m not interested in running. I’m going to work out 3 mornings per week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). Because I’ll be doing this before class, it needs to be fairly quick. I’m shooting for about an hour.
I’m going to start with 20 minutes on the bike. Riding feels so natural to me at this point that it should be a good warm-up exercise. Should give me some cardio work, as well as help my cycling.
Then I’ll do 15 minutes of vinyasa yoga. It’s not enough time to really practice, but I don’t have a lot of time in the mornings. The stretching is so important, especially considering how much time I spend hunched over a computer every day. This will be the hardest part to get back into, as I haven’t kept up with my yoga practice recently.
Then I’ll spend 20 minutes or so doing push-ups, crunches, and whatever other resistance work I can do in my apartment.
It’s a pretty basic workout, but it should help keep me fit. It’s also short enough to do before class, which is important. I’m planning on starting an actual vinyasa class this summer or next fall, so that will help as well.
This is one of those posts that nobody will care about, but now that my plans are publicly available on teh intarwebs, I’ll feel doubly lazy if I don’t follow through. Wish me luck!
