Left the gym about 90 minutes ago and spotted my name on the list of top attendees for March. Joint last with 15!

The person at the top had 30.

(<- That was supposed to be the shocked smiley) Not even the employees are in that many days a month!

Piggymon · 06-04-2008, 17:30

Is that how many days in a month ??

I would be hitting about 20 a month

Right, well my routine isn't very exciting to look at, as it mainly consists of classes. However, I'm going to try and add some jogs into there this week. I'm going to put my BP weights at the botton to, to keep a check on progress.

I think my routine has been a bit weights oriented of late due to the number of BP classes I do, so I think I need to add more cardio to my routine to see any fat loss. I'm going to my first boxercise class this week and want to do 2 jogs. Does this look like a reasonably balanced routine to you folks?

Looks good to me Kate

I would be tempted to suggest dropping the BP classes in favour of a 2 day heavy weights split but you have to do what you enjoy and I know you LOVE the BP

You'll really enjoy Boxercise !

lostkat · 06-04-2008, 17:48

Thought you might say that

I'd much rather do BP than free weights in the gym though. I know the results won't be as visible, but I just enjoy the BP so much and feel that if I dropped that classes then I'd be more inclined to skip a day if I felt a bit crappy. As it is, I have to book any classes I do which forces me to go even if I can't be arsed.

Really looking forward to boxercise

Yep, so I made it in every other day on average (although the absences would have most likely been weekends when I was up to other things). I've already been three times this month so I'm on track for the same again. 20 is pretty good going!

You have to do what you enjoy otherwise you won't put the effort in and it becomes counter-productive

I've had my PT swap my lower body routine around a little because there were a few exercises I HATED. If it becomes too much of a chore you'll find any excuse not to do it :/

Report on the boxercise once you've done it - will be interested to see how it compares to mine

I hit 30 visits a few times when I wasn't working if that makes you feel any better?

It's amazing how your body gets used to certain things. I normally do 20 minutes of interval training on the treadmill - 2 min @ 9km/h, 1min @ 14km/h repeated. Today I bumped it up to 9.7 and 14.7 respectively and I am KNACKERED!
