Can you believe we are ten days into the new year! With the new year, comes new goals and resolutions. If you missed it last week, you can read about mine here. One of my goals was to stay on track with my workout schedule. The fall season was especially challenging when I hurt my neck, and then decided to home-school my son, in addition to my middle child. My entire routine was thrown for a loop!
When you have an injury, and a life change, there is suddenly new stress. I was stressed because I couldn’t do my five workouts per week, and I was stressed out because I had to add a 4th grade curriculum to my already busy 6th grade home-school curriculum. I suddenly found myself teaching long division to my son, and how to solve equations with two variables to my daughter, at the same time. Oh my! It’s tough juggling two curriculum’s.
Thankfully, I can say with confidence that I have my routine down pat now; and since my neck injury is healed, I have been back on track with my fitness routine! Yay!
Since my days are really full with home-schooling and work, I have to be more flexible when it comes to my workout routine. Here is my new routine for the New Year, and winter season:
Mondays: BodyCombat (cardio)
Tuesday: Spin Class (cardio-internval)
Wednesday: Home workout. 30 minutes cardio, 30 minutes strength
Thursday: Rest day
Friday: Insanity (Interval-Strength)
Saturday: BodyPump and Step or treadmill and weights; depending on my kids schedule
Sunday: Family fitness activity outside. Hiking, etc.
This is my ideal winter workout schedule, of course, my schedule can get crazy, and I may miss a class here or there. On days when I miss a class, I do a treadmill workout, or a home workout I designed for myself.
My home workout includes 30 minutes of cardio, and 30 minutes of strength exercises. It is great on days when I am pressed for time and need to squeeze in my workout at funny times during the day. I can even split it up; do the cardio in the morning, then the strength later in the day. Sometimes you have to be creative when your life is a giant juggle!
What are you doing for workouts this winter season?
That is a great workout schedule Cathy! I feel you on the life changes that make it more of a challenge to fit your fitness routine into. I’m back to at home workouts. Doing BBG again and hopefully this time not getting sick every other week!

Nike’s are my go-to for running and weightlifting. I seriously wish I could justify having 10 pairs.
Oh I need to get a great backpack like for the gym/classes! I always end up throwing everything into a locker in a sloppy way! Great suggestions!
