This Week's Workout Plan & Supplements

Call me crazy, but I love Monday!  Why?  It's the start of a new week, which means the start of a new program.  Whenever I start new workout, eating, or supplement programs I always start on a Monday (it's just easier for me to keep track).  I am focusing my new training program on the 13 races I am participating in this year (3 of them obstacle races), and am starting with a 12 week program.  I found a really cool iphone app called Tuff n Muddy, which includes programs to train and prepare you for obstacle races.  Below is what my week 1 training program looks like (I made a few modifications to what the app designed):

Monday:  3 mile run.

Tuesday:  Full body strength training followed by 20 minutes on Stair Climber. 

Wednesday:  Challenge of the week (see below for description).

Thursday:  3 mile run. 

Friday:  Tough Test (see below for description) & Yoga in the evening.

Saturday:  Cycle (if there is an extra bike....fingers crossed!).

Because I am also teaching 11 fitness classes this week I have to be sure to drink plenty of water, eat as clean as possible and take all of my supplements:

MNS3, Catalyst, Nighttime Recovery, and SPARK Energy Drink (Advocare)

Challenge of the week:

Warmup, 5 minute run, 50 pushups, 5 minute run, 50 pull-ups, 5 minute run, 50 v-ups, 5 minute run, 50 squats, 5 minute run, cool down.

Tough test (1 minute of each, 15 second break in between):

Burpees, Explosive dips, Mountain climbers, Kettlebell swings, Dumbbell push press, Decline pushups, Lunge jumps, Dumbbell bent over rows, Pull ups.

I'm looking forward to this week full of being healthy and fit!  At the end of the week I will give an update on how this week went as well as my plan for next week.
