Plan for Week 12 of 52

My workouts have been getting too long during the week and I have had to skip free weights or core just in order to get to work in the morning by 8:30am. If I get to work later, I have to stay later and that is not fun. I hate staying at work later than 5:30pm. I also don't like to wake up before 6am, if I do my whole day is shot. Focus this week is on getting in more aerobic exercise in shorter time periods. This means that I want to get in five aerobic sessions at 30 to 40 minutes each. Since I am not going to do 60 minutes of cardio three days a week, I will need to push the intensity for my shorter sessions for these next five days. I think this is the best way to get in my planned weights, core training, and short yoga sessions. Here's the plan.

Workout plan for the week:

• Sunday: Day off
  
• Monday: 40 minute treadmill interval, free weights for arms, core exercises, stretch 15 min
• Tuesday: 15 minute A.M. yoga, 30 minute arc trainer
  
• Wednesday: 40 minute treadmill interval, free weights for arms, core exercises, stretch 15 min
• Thursday: 15 minute A.M. yoga, 30 minute eliptical
  
• Friday: 40 minute treadmill interval, free weights for arms, core exercises, stretch 15 min
• Saturday: maybe a long hike or a bike ride
  

Dinner plan for the week:

• Sunday: Sadly we had Totino's pizza. I know that is so bad, but Dan and I make an exception about twice a year to indulge
  
• Monday: taco salad minus the chips
  
• Tuesday: salad with turkey breast
• Wednesday: tuna salad
  
• Thursday: pulled pork and green beans
• Friday: pulled pork and peas
  
• Saturday: roast chicken?
