Sometime the hardest part of making a decison is just making the decision. Does that make sense? I guess I'm just one of those people who performs best when I put my intentions down on paper. Once it's in black & white, I'm completely onboard and committed. I can not ignore my goals after they are formally submitted so to speak. To date I've been "dabbling" in adding weightlifting to my workout routine while still trying to give myself enough time to allow me to choreograph/participate in my favored Zumba routines. I really haven't done much weight work the last year or two. After researching various suggested schedules, I have finally come to a conclusion.
This is the initial routine upon which I have decided to embark:
Basically the plan is to continue doing my cardio/Zumba 4x a week AND add weights 4x per week.
This given schedule would necessitate working out 7 days a week. As I consider Zumba to give me a very good lower body workout, I will probably "skip" some Tuesday or Friday lower body work and use one of them as a complete Rest day. Since I only teach on alternate Sundays, on off weeks this day can either be used to prepare new routines or it is another potential rest, extra or make-up weight day. Don't you admire how even given this strict schedule, I have already figured out a couple possible breaks?
So it appears Monday will be my hardest day. It's the only day I'll be required to do my Cardio AND an upper body workout in the same day.
Sweet dreams folks. Gotta rest up for tomorrow!
