It i s a good idea to have plans but when it comes to workouts they can be a double edged sword. I have kind of stumbled into a work out plan that I think will work well for me. I work out in the mornings before work which involves setting my alarm for 5:00am and hopefully rolling out of bed by quarter after or so. My plan is to work out 4 days a week. On Monday's and Thursdays I will do 45-50 minutes of cardio and on Tuesdays and Friday's I will do weights. I tend to push myself pretty hard and so this schedule should allow me time to recover between workouts.
The downside to plans is that they can become boring and a boring workout is one that does not get done. It is nice to have the plan to see how much you have improved over time and to help you have focus on achieving specific goals but, for me working out is in general boring. It is spending an hour of my time at the gym which is not something I find mentally stimulating to say the least but I think that this plan will work because it is simple and when you are working out early in the morning simple is good.
So it is my goal to do my workout plan for 8 weeks and try to see if I can get some measurable results. Hopefully over that time I will notice my endurance and strength increase and maybe even loose a few extra pounds of fat.
