Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays:
1 - Elliptical// When I first get to Planet Fitness, I get right on the elliptical. For the first three minutes, I just walk/work at a normal pace. Then for two minutes I run, and go as fast as I can. Then for two minutes, I walk. Two minutes, run. All the way to fifteen minutes.
2 - Bike// I pretty much do the same thing as the elliptical but instead of speed, I use resistance. For the first three minutes, I use resistance level 5, for the next two minutes resistance 10. Two minutes level 5, two minutes level 10, 5, 10 until fifteen minutes again.
3 - Abs// At Planet Fitness they have an area called "12 minute abs" After the start of my cardio, I go there. I don't necessarily do the actual 12 minute program. It really depends on if there are other people in there or not. There are 6 machines in that area and I do each of those for either a minute, or 30 reps. Next, there is another section of abs and I also do those for 3 sets of 10 reps.
4 - Treadmill// Finally, I do the treadmill for fifteen minutes. For the first three minutes I walk at a speed of 2.5 with no incline. For the next two minutes I walk at a speed of 2.5 with an incline of 10. For the next two minutes I walk at a speed of 3 with the incline of 5.
Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays:
1 - Warmup// For warmup just to get my heart rate up a little bit I walk on the treadmill for 5 minutes. Nothing special. Just at a speed of 2.5
2 - Strength// At Planet Fitness they have almost all of the strength machines in one section. I do those in full. Theres maybe 15 machines, but I'm not positive. I do 3 sets of 10 reps on each machine. The weights on each of those varies.
3 - Thighs and hips// There are two thigh and hip machines at PF. One works the inner thigh/ hip and the other one works the outer thigh/hip. I do 50 reps.
4 - Butt// There is only one machine at PF that works your butt and I love it! I've recently been keeping the weight at 50 just because I want to keep my butt nice and round, lol. I do 3 sets of 10 reps.
5 - Cool down// Finally, I walk on the treadmill at the speed of 2.5 for five minutes just to cool down.
This is just what works for me. It works me so much and I love it. I leave Planet Fitness every night feeling SO tired. I'm not a health guru, I have absolutely no idea if this is exactly what I should be doing for my body type, blah blah blah but I've started seeing results so I'm working with what I have.
Food:
The only meal I really get to control what I eat is lunch. Usually for breakfast I'll grab a granola bar or something on the way out of the door. And dinner, my parents cook dinner so I don't ever control what exactly I eat, but how much I eat.
For a while this semester I was eating school lunches. And it actually wasn't that bad taste wise. BUT however since I don't like anything and the only healthy options for sides were salad, mixed veggies, applesauce, etc. and I don't like ANY of that. I would always end up getting two sides worth of tater tots or french fries. And the main courses weren't ever all that healthy either.
I got sick of feeling like I'm eating like shit so I've decided to bring my lunch. What I've been packing usually differs.
Yesterday I brought a tuna wrap, hummus with pita bread to dip, a hard boiled egg, string cheese and fruit snacks.
Today, I brought a chicken breast, provolone cheese, hot sauce sandwich in pita bread, two crackers with cream cheese and spice mix, and some cocoa roasted almonds.
I have no idea what I'm bringing for lunch tomorrow but I'm trying to mix it up a lot. I get so sick of eating the same things over and over!
This is what works for me. I'm so happy with the results, and more importantly, how I feel. I've become so happy with the way I feel and what I'm doing for myself!
What is your workout schedule? What does your meal plan look like?
