August Fitness Goals

I didn't get to my goals last month. Although I completed a lot of workouts and jogs, I put way too much on myself. I wanted to see what I could handle and I think I now have a better idea of what my goals should be so I can make sure I reach them! I finally have my mile to 16 minutes, and that was a goal that I had set for myself this past month!

Running:

For this month, my goal is 12 minutes for my mile and with my shins I'm cutting my jogs down to three times a week. I'm hoping this will give my shins time to recover in between jogs, and since I'm running less it'll motivate me more to push it! I'm slowly feeling my shins not bother me as much (as long as I'm not going too hard on myself) and I know with a little more weight off it'll get better.

Fitness Blender:

For workouts, I'm going to focus on my abs for the month of August.  I, of course, am going to change it up every day of the week so I don't bored of the same workouts.

Mondays: I'm going to start my week off strong with a 27 minute workout targeting my abs and upper body. https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/no-equipment-upper-body-and-abs-workout-at-home-upper-body-and-core

Tuesdays: I'll do my first jog of the week and follow it up with a 10 minute ab workout. https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/10-minute-abs-workout-at-home-pilates-abs-workout-for-a-healthy-back

Wednesdays: I'm going to take a break from jogging and just fit in a 30 minute core and cardio workout into my day. https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/abs-workout-for-people-who-get-bored-easily-core-and-cardio-workout

Thursdays: Back to my jogging with the same 10 minute ab workout from Tuesday.

Fridays: I'm going to really push for a new time goal on my jogs at the end of each week and then fit in a little stress relief yoga. https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/3-day-flexibility-challenge-day-1-fluid-full-body-stretches-for-flexibility-and-stress-relief

August Fitness Goals:

12 minute miles

progress on my abs

less stress

weight loss 

I'm not going to worry a lot this month about the number on the scale. I'm going to focus more on becoming a better me and feeling better, because those are my overall goals to becoming fit. I hope that my goals are just as much of a motivation to you as they are to me. If you're needing a change and want to start your fitness journey...join me!
