My Last Chance Work Day!

So tomorrow is Friday, going to have me a last chance workout day before WI Saturday! Really doing it to push my self, to push my fitness. One really really tough day...will my make my normal works outs seem that bit easier.

So tomorrow I intend to do an hour of weights/toning followed by 40 to 50 mins on treadmill...I will be dying...but its so going to be worth it. Feel the burn! I've been feeling so great this week since getting back to exercising and eating right. Sleeping better and all the exercise must be releasing some happy hormones cos I just seem to be feeling more positive.

Doing an 8km (5 Mile) Charity dog walk this Sunday. I've never done more than 5km in one stint, I think its going to be tough, but if I can get through a pretty tough day of exercise tomorrow...the walk should literately be a walk in a park....I just hope the weather is dry...I'm not walking in the rain! LOL

Last summer I was working with a personal trainer, so she did out a intense work out plan for me based on my fitness, weight, ability. I saw her every two weeks where she changed and upped the intensity of the work outs. I have all the equipment here at home, weights, kettle-bells, benches, dumb-bells, resistance bands, treadmill. But with college last few months, just literally did not have time time to use them

This is the plan I'm working to at the moment, I tried matching up the exercises to clips in Youtube to give people an idea what I'm getting up to, that makes me so stiff and sore.
