It's Wednesday and you know what that means! Time for another Workout Wednesday (WOW) linkup hosted by Diatta Harris from Femme Fitale Fit Club, Sheila Simmons from The Frugal Exerciser, Natalie from Clean Eating Teen, Jenn from Comeback Momma, and yours truly!
As I mentioned on Monday, I'm trying to get back on track after almost a month of travel. In addition to getting my eating back under control after indulging in tons of delicious foreign foods, I also need to get back to a regular workout schedule.
I wanted to create a weekly routine that would work with my beach volleyball rec league schedule and give me a good mixture of cardio, strength, toning and stretching. Here's what I came up with:
I'll still pick my specific workouts for the week every Monday, but I think sticking to this basic structure will help keep me disciplined.
Q: Do you have a set workout schedule or does it vary week to week? Any tips for getting your fitness back on track?
Now on to the party!

I love that you play beach volleyball! I can't wait to hit the beach here once the weather is consistently warm!! #wowlinkup
ReplyDeleteThanks Lara! Definitely one of the major perks of moving to Santa Barbara :)
DeleteI try to have a set workout routine. It helps keep me motivated! #wowlinkup
ReplyDeleteDefinitely agree. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteOoh beach volleyball that sounds fun and different. I do keep the same schedule each week it really keeps me focused.
ReplyDeleteLove beach volleyball. So fun and such a great workout. Need to get back to being more consistent with my workouts like you Deborah!
DeleteI just hopped by from #wowlinkup. I love your June weekly workout schedule. I especially like the fact that you include beach volleyball in your routine. I also love exercising outside!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deborah! Moving to California has definitely made me appreciate exercising outside more, have to keep working it in!
DeleteWell, I don't know if it's really a schedule. I pick through my workout DVDs every morning to decide what I'm doing. Last week I added walking during lunch but haven't walked this week yet.
ReplyDeleteWalking during lunch is such a great way to sneak in some exercise during the work day! Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteI need a little sand volleyball back in life or I need to move to a beach =) #wowlinkup
ReplyDeleteHaha yes I just moved close to the beach less than 6 months ago and I highly recommend it :)
DeleteLooks like some great workout plans. Beach volleyball is a fantastic workout.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenn! It's my favorite way to burn tons of calories :)
DeleteI keep my workouts in my head for the week. Sometimes they are just impromptu so very hard to plan. But my schedule is basically M, W, Th - Sanders Optimum Fitness Boot Camp. T, F- workout with personal trainer at Brick Bodies. Saturday - all up in the air. Sunday remains rest day. ;-) #wowlinkup
ReplyDeleteThat's impressive, Diatta! If I don't schedule workouts I won't do them lol. Thanks for hosting another great linkup :)
DeleteOhhh pretty schedule! I usually use my Google Calendar to schedule my workouts (color coded calendar). My good weeks I try to keep a similar structure (ex. strength on Tu / Th, long run Sat) and will usually include a non-running cardio session to keep it interesting (ex. spinning or Zumba) - that way I sort of get best of both worlds.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny! Putting workouts in Google calendar is a great idea too! I should make a workouts calendar, thanks for the tip!
DeleteThis looks like a great schedule! I love how you have a great variety of fitness activities. I don't always schedule things, but try to workout in the morning when I can. I'm a personal trainer so many of my mornings are dedicated to clients, but for me the earlier I workout the better :)
ReplyDeleteProps to you for getting those morning workouts in. I'm so not a morning person but I really feel better if I can manage to get it out of the way first thing. Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteI LOVE being able to plan out my workouts. It makes things so much easier and stress free.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up on WOW linkup! <3
Definitely agree! Thanks for co-hosting and for stopping by :)
DeleteI plan my workouts loosely - I go back and forth between cardio and strength training. I love that you play beach volleyball, I wish I could play a sport like that! #wowlinkup
ReplyDeleteYou are so awesome you could play whatever sport you wanted! Thanks for being such a great linkup participant :)
DeleteI enjoy a good walk everyday. I like knowing what I have to do from day to day.
ReplyDeleteGreat Article! I have a set of rules that I follow to stay fit
ReplyDeleteall week. Thank you for sharing such information....
