Ringing in the New Year with a new workout plan!

Welcome 2019! The time for celebration of ringing in the New Year and New Year’s resolutions. As stated in my previous blog post, “New Winter Gym Routine”, my goal was to make monthly calendars focusing on both running longer distances as well as incorporating rest days by focusing on weight lifting and strengthening my muscles.

It took some time to put together, but I did some research and found some good exercises to incorporate into a full body circuit. I also took the time to realistically figure out how far I want to run every other day and how many miles I will gain in a month. For now I decided on increasing my distance by one mile per month. Listed below on the calendar I made you will find my plan for January and how I will accomplish the goals set before me.

My goal is to record what I do at the gym each day. This will not only hold me accountable for sticking to my plan, but it will also give me something to write about on my blog. I hope to follow this plan for the entire 2019 year. I’m sure it will be hard to do as life begins to pick up again with Winter classes and the craziness of life, but I know the perseverance will pay off in the end. I hope you will join me on the workout adventure for the 2019 year. Happy New Years!

Monthly Stats

Here’s my break down of rest days, run days, and gym days throughout the weeks of January. Looks like January was off to a slow start with 4 rest days, but the rest of the month was kept on a good workout schedule.
