It is a great Monday and I am so excited for many reasons. Well 2 reasons:
1. I spiced up my routine
2. I joined the Smartest loser competition at work which involves having a workout buddy and competing together to lose the most weight in November. Winners go home with a new Samsung s4 phone. I know I need that phone in my life. I hope we win.
Now back to reason 1. I get bored easily and I feel like my body resists certain workout routines after a few weeks so I always look for ways to switch things up. After losing almost 15kg with Cardio-focused workouts, I hit a plateau. My friend _Sirius_ advised me to mix things up with Strength training. I am a big fan of strength training so I jumped at her suggestion. I decided to infuse my usual workout routine with 3 days of strength-focused training by using Shaun T's T25 Beta Phase (Rip't circuit and Upper Body are weights-based) and also Les Mills Body Pump dvd. It has been 4 weeks and I see a lot of difference. I feel toned and sexier...haha. I am starting to see definitions plus I am losing inches, although the scale is not really moving. It doesn't matter, as long as my clothes are getting loose.
I am bored again so today I decided to dump Shaun T and Les Mills for Jillian Michaels' Shred it with weights DVD. I enjoyed it today. Let's see how the next 4 weeks go. This is in addition to my evening workout classes at The Shrinkers.
In other news, did you know that different body types have different workout types and plan? I am sure you do. If you didn't, then start researching the best workout plans for your body type.
What are your favourite workout DVDs? especially strength-focused ones or how do you spice up your workouts?
