Here is my life schedule starting November 30th. The first part of my program will consist of a calculated eating plan (clean and routine) and I am going to build my workout according to the NASM OPT model.
I have been working on my strength and balance aka stabilization a bit already but am turning it up a notch in December with minimal rest periods. Since I am about 5ft tall, I am keeping my caloric intake below 1200 calories daily. I will evaluate and adjust my routine as needed. The goal is one - two hours of movement per day divided in morning and evening sessions. I enjoy HITT and Tabata training routines so as I create them I will post them on here. To make it easier on myself I googled some basic HITT and Tabata workouts according to what I want to work on each day and will change them on a weekly basis. Going to the gym and zumba is on my list (3 gym days and 1 zumba class in the evenings) and when I save a bit I plan to take TRX classes and also take a yoga class weekly. As for right now all my workouts will be home based body weight workouts and at the gym I will do mostly cardio.
I created a playlist on spotify with some jams that I like:

It takes time to adjust your habits and live consciously. We have been taught to take the easy route and let other people do the work for us. I am making a conscious effort to take control of my life, my health and embark on a strategic journey for a better life. I have included time for other things that I do like crafting, cooking, errands and grooming (yes, I need to remind myself to pluck my eyebrows, shave my cooch and handle my mustache so I don't look like chewbaccas lover)

There are so many resources to help figure out what to do, where to start and how to start. Hiring a personal trainer is a great way to figure out what you need to do to achieve your goals and I highly recommend it. Instead of hiring a personal trainer I decided to go to school and learn how to train as I train myself because I enjoy taking the hard road (not for any glory reasons, just because I get bored easily). I am treating myself like a client and lemmetellyouuuu I am a sucky client. I am lazy, I make excuses and truthfully it's not easy to open up time to do something that you really don't want to do in the first place. I get it and this is what motivates me to really want to do this and share my story in real time so that people know that they can do things that they set their minds to. I actually love to workout, once I am in the zone I am all in it but I really understand how difficult it is to begin and take that plunge. I say that because if I can accomplish this...you can. There is no magic that happens, you just have to decide to make changes in your life. Adjust your sails to the wind and let go. I hope that by sharing my journey and what I do I can help others learn fun ways to incorporate lasting upgrades in their lives. We are all going to die eventually, it's up to you how you want your journey to be. I am choosing to make life better, my body tighter, my soul free'er and my mind stronger.......by making my journey fun and fluid!!!!!!!
blessings,
