I try to run Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and then get some time for cross training Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This does not always happen because of my husband's work schedule. It's nice to know ahead of time that if this is not going to work out for the week, I can make different plans. I might flip flop my cross training and running days one week, like this week. If Mike works late for the day, cross training could be a Turbo Fire while my daughter naps. Its nice to not be surprised at 9 PM that I did not get my workout in. It's nice to have it planned into my week.
It is a good idea for everyone to schedule their workouts. Work, kids, pets, Facebook--life gets in the way. If it's not written down, then its not a priority. Don't let your workouts happen by chance. Make sure YOU come first!

I agree with you, my husband and I do the same thing. We have very busy schedules with working and school. Sometimes it is easy to get so busy, and completely forget about running or working out.
ReplyDeleteI get really angry when I miss a workout! This keeps me stress free too.
DeleteI admire your scheduling and getting in all those workouts with a family! It is hard enough trying to get workouts in and then planning meals and time with my husband - without kids! You are doing a great job!
ReplyDeleteI schedule in my head. Does that count? LOL! I meet with my trainer once a week (so that's planned) and we have a fencing class once a week (so that's scheduled). Then I try to hit the gym 1-2 more times a week after work and have a long run on the weekends. So, while I don't actually write it into my planner I guess I do it so often and just know what I want to do that I do schedule it. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt totally counts!!! How do you like fencing? It sounds really interesting!
