Now that my competing days are behind me and have been for a while, I have really changed up my training to higher intensity circuit training. I love the variety I have added back into my program and have found not only great results but the change has kept me motivated and enjoying each and every one of my workouts. With limited amount of time, my approach has been “get in and get out”, “quality over quantity”, and “incorporating ALL aspects of fitness”, to reach my lifestyle fitness goals. There is something to be said about spending less time going through the motions and more time making each rep, set and exercise count, getting in and getting out. With this higher intensity, well rounded approach, every day is changing, which has kept me excited and motivated for each of my workouts but also keeps my body responding, complete win-win. Here is example of a typical week’s workouts: (keep in mind every day and week is changing in intensity, variation, exercises, activity, keeping NO day the same as another. Some days are higher intensity circuit style where other days are still focusing on isolated exercises and shaping. I still keep my glutes and shoulders in the forefront of my mind while training slow and steady.
Note: Because I have built such a solid foundation and put in years of consistency in the gym and in the kitchen, I feel fortunate to be able to “play” around with my fitness without the worry of losing hard earned muscle or shape.There is something to be said about, day in and day out consistency and hard work! Once you have put in the time, work and energy, it is then time to play!
