Since I am not strictly sticking to the 6 days on 1 off routine of P90X or Insanity, I am thinking that a whole week of rest is going to be a little excessive. So since a change is as good as a rest I am thinking that 4 days should suffice and of those 4 days 2 should be Yoga for the simple reason that I haven’t done it in a while and my tolerance is way up for twisting myself into a ball and trying to wrap my spine into a twizzler. I thought I was going to bag my rest week plan and sub some Crossfit instead but now I look at the schedule, it actually seems pretty appealing.
That means yoga tonight.
Well, at least I can rest assured that I will be on par with these ladies:
Follow Yoga (Fountain of Youth Yoga) with Core, Cardio and Balance and then Core Synergistics and you have a pretty quiet week with lots of muscle lengthening stretching and flexibility. On thr 4th day I may even go the whole hog and do Yoga X… We shall see.
As far as my workout schedule is going, I read this today over at “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” and liked it’s simplicity.
How about a weekly plan?
Monday – Strength training – Upper body pushing movement [Anaerobic – ATP]
Tuesday – Sprints [Anaerobic – ATP + glycogen]
Wednesday – Strength training – Upper body pulling movement [Anaerobic – ATP]
Thursday – Yoga/slow biking/walking/jogging for 30-50 mins [Aerobic]
Friday – 10-20min high intensity conditioning workout [Anaerobic – ATP + glycogen]
Saturday – Strength training – Lower body [Anaerobic – ATP]
Sunday – Rest
