Kimi's Weekly Workouts

1-What types of work outs do you do each week?

I am haven't been consistent at all with my workouts lately, but ideally I would like to do:
Monday: upper body strength training
Tuesday: Zumba (this actually is consistent because I am signed up for a class- I love it and highly recommend it. Don't be embarrassed to do it. Honestly nobody has time to really watch each other because you are so busy trying to watch and keep up with the instructor.)
Wednesday: Upper Body Weights
Thursday: cardio at the gym with strength training
Friday: lower body strength training
Saturday: Kenpo (kind of like kickboxing, on the P90X DVDs)

I successfully made it through one week of doing this, but then I fell into the "too stressed" excuse and did it when I could, missing a few days here and there. My eight month old has been super fussy, so I got really stressed and blamed it on teething. Well, today he was pulling at his ears a ton, so I took him to the doctor. Double ear infection! There's my first time mom poor parenting. Ugh. I feel terrible. At least they weren't super bad, but still. At least now I know I wasn't being crazy with him not feeling well. Now hopefully he will sleep better and in turn I won't be a nervous wreck/stress case.

I like Biggest Loser Bootcamp. I need to make it my default workout because you sweat like crazy!

I really hate running. I actually do like it with the jogging stroller because my baby likes it and it gives us something to do every now and then. Also, it is easier because you have something to lean on. ;)

2- What type of workout would you really like to try but haven't yet? What is stopping you?

I would like to do Turbojam. Is that crazy? Ha. I just haven't wanted to fork out the cash, but I do think it is something I would like. Also, I do like DVDs because I can do them during nap time.

I do know that you can buy just one DVD, but is it worth it? Or do you need to get the full "system"?

The gym I go to does not offer any classes. I only pay $10 a month, so I can't complain. But I would like to switch gyms in a few months so that I can go to more classes. It is always nice to get out of the house for a short break, and my "retail therapy" is getting too expensive. Ha ha ha.

3- What are your weekly goals with working out?

Ideally I would like to work out 5 days a week, but I typically get in 3-4.

4-How do you monitor your calories/heart rate etc while working out?

I either use my heart rate monitor (Timex Personal HRM, love it), or just calculate it in My Fitness Pal.

5- How long do you work out each time?

On average I do about 45 minutes.
