Help with my schedule
So I signed up for a gym that offers all of their classes for free (which is great as I'm totally a group exercise person). This is what I decided to as far as my weekly workouts and I'm starting it this week, but I don't know if I'm leaving anything out or should change up anything. I'm doing a low impact week, then high impact week, and continuing to alternate. I'm definately not in top fitness shape, but I'm not totally couch potato (I did the strength/cardio Tuesday combo yesterday and while I'm a little sore it's nothing bad).
Low Impact Week:
Mon - Kickbox Jam for 1 hour
Tues - Barbell Strength for 1 hour, Hip Hop Cardio for 1 hour
Weds - Strike Kickboxing for 1 hour
Thurs - Barbell Strength for 1 hour, Hip Hop or Zumba Cardio for 1 hour
High Impact Week:
Mon - Thurs the same as low impact week.
Fri - Jai Ho (Indian Dance) for 1 hour
Saturday - Fluid Strength (yoga/strength) or Studio Ride (spinning) for 1 hour.
Thoughts? Too much cardio or strength? Not enough? On my high impact week, will having one day off be okay or is that not enough?
Maybe take another day off. You can alternate it each high impact week too, so you dont miss the same class every time. (IE take a monday off, then a tuesday, then a thursday). Or just stick to one class if you like the routine and can bare to give one of them up =)
Do you work out at Lifetime Fitness? I work at one and a lot of the classes sound similar...I have a few questions about the kickbox jam/strike kickboxing if you do! =)
I do! I just signed up on Monday so my first kickboxing (Strike) is tonight. Let me know what questions you have and I will answer them tomorrow.
I'm thinking I might take Fridays and Sundays off every week, so I'd just be working out on Saturdays on my high impact week. I also might switch Strike with Fluid Strength on the low impact week Wednesdays.
Nice! I work at the Lifetime Fitness near me, and all the class names sounded familiar haha. And switching sounds good-- if it was me, I would pick days that are kind of far apart from one another, but freeing up your weekend workout schedule is good too =D
What is involved with the Strike! Kickboxing class? I'm taking the "Fight Club" offered at my lifetime again, and I wonder if theyre similar =D
It wasn't as kickboxy as I thought it would be - they used weighted gloves (optional) and strike sticks (weighted sticks) and did do some boxing type moves and motions (uppercuts, jabs, boxer shuffle, etc) and they incorporated some kicks in as well. They also did lunges and jumping jacks and other cardio stuff. It was fairly intense but it was fun!
