I need things to be easy or I get disheartened. (a.k.a known as I'm a quitter!) I've tried running and I've done quite well with it, at one point I was running 6k and I was super proud of myself but for hundreds of reasons to tired and boring to write down here I gave up!
When I see tall, lean girls obviously bursting with power sprinting on the beach loving their bodies I get so jealous. I know what it felt like when I finished that first six k with a sprint and felt alive and awesome and then I stopped soon after.
I told myself a million things but the truth is I want to be a person who runs!
I want to be fit and flexible. And I think that a combination of Pilates and running will help me achieve the body and level of fitness I crave.
And I'm going to ease myself into it initially.
So heres my little plan...I will set up two or three small goals for the week, each week and complete them and nothing more. I tend to start, feel a bit stronger and push to hard and start to hate the stuff.
So here we go!
now technically it's the end of a week and i also have my weigh in days on tuesday so I think Monday and Tues are the days I'll pick. Now until then I'm going to give myself a leg up and start today and then officially start on Monday!
Week 1
5 x 5 x 5 x 5
- 5 sit up/ab exercises
- 5 press ups
- 5 minutes jogging/running (intervals to begin with)
- 5 minutes Pilates
I'm also going to include 5 minutes of stretching and five minutes of cooldown too.
I can easily fit these into my daily routine(which is my main excuse for skipping out) and for this wekk this is all I'm going to do. Just ease myself into it!
To hold myself accountable I'm going to check in everyday I'm doing it (I'm going to do six days, rest on sunday) I might cut it back to five when I start reaching higher levels of things and what not but as it stands that really is a doddle so I can't justify cutting it any more!
So I'm hoping that in twelve or thirteen weeks time I'll be doing quite well fitness wise!
I hope!
