So, this post is
about my fitness routine. I work out at a gym 5 days a week for half an hour
and almost every night at home. I have always enjoyed being strong and fit but
I haven't been running fit since grade 3, I am not kidding, so this year I have
decided to make myself running fit as well as swimming fit and this is how I do
it:
DISCLAIMER: This
routine matches my fitness so if you decide to do it, you may need to modify
it.
Monday Morning (5:30 am):
I do a half an
hour run/walk. This week I will be running for 8 min cooling down for 2 (3
times) and each week I increase this by a minute, so next week I'll be running
for 9 and cooling down for 1. Make sure you stretch before this to avoid any
nasty cramps.
Monday Night:
I dance for 30
minutes to an hour in my room. I have always enjoyed dancing and I find this is
a great way to go to bed easier because you should be exhausted. To do this
exercise I put in earphones and put on a pop playlist on Spotify and work my
butt off.
Tuesday Morning (5:30 am):
Basic neck, shoulders, ankle warm up x3 minutes
Leg and knee stretches x2 minutes
Cardio to get my heart rate up (high knees and butt
flicks)
Then I start ab workout:
10 leg jumps
30 sit ups
30 Russian crunches
30 ballet twists
20 leg taps
(side to side)
10 dolphin sit ups
(Start flat then roll your neck and back until you
reach your toes then go up and use your stomach muscles to hold yourself up
then go forward again then back down to the ground.
Shake out
Knee twists
Back to leg taps
15 leg jumps
10 min run at 9km/hr
Tuesday Night:
Dancing Again
Wednesday Night (6:30pm):
Mat Pilates. This is great for muscular strength and
endurance.
Thursday:
Rest day from gym but dancing at night.
Friday Morning:

times) and each week I increase this by a minute, so next week I'll be running

nasty cramps.
