Fit Friday {exercise identity crisis}





Monday - Plyo/Strength
Plyo has high knees, jumping, lunges and sprinting.  Basically it's everything I hate but know that I need to do.
Tuesday - Step and Sculpt
This class is my new favorite.  I've said numerous times that I could never do step aerobics but I'm eating my words now -- I LOVE IT.  We do 35 minutes of step following with 35 minutes of weights.
Wednesday - Strong Bodies
This class is Body Pump but with more concentration on form and heavier weight.
Thursday - FAST
This is our post's Crossfit.  They can't call it Crossfit because they aren't affiliates but the instructor is awesome!
Friday - Strong Bodies

I haven't been to my Crossfit box in a few weeks.  The reasons for this are numerous but it doesn't make me miss the friends I've made there any less!  See, a few months ago I would have confidently told you that Crossfit was pretty much the only workout that made me happy or that I could stick to.

Then came a busy week when my mom was visiting that forced me to try some new classes on post...basically I really enjoyed myself.  Thus, my exercise identity crisis.

Step class is a blast and plyometrics are brutal but they are the cardio that I really need.

At the Crossfit box I have to watch Rowan myself and when I run laps she can't see me and loses her mind.  When she gets bored she wanders out of the kids room and I have to quit exercising to get her occupied.  She was also watching upwards of 2 hours of TV a day in the car to and from and during the workout.  But when I use the gyms near our house - I have child care at the gym or by {Husband} in the evening and it takes 3 minutes by car to get there.

Spoiled rotten.  That's what I am!

I am going to inquire about a punch card or something at my box because I miss the girls there and I really love olympic lifting.  In the meantime, I'm enjoying myself and I think the extra cardio has helped my weigh ins!
