Summer Workout: August Routine

source
Summer's coming to end, and that means this is my last summer workout routine. I'm trying to get in shape for school. I want to create a routine that I will, hopefully, carry into the school year.

To start off, I found this amazing stretch routine on Pinterest that is supposed to improve your flexibility. I want to be able to do the splits again. So I do this every day before my workout. I find that it stretches you out really well. It consists of 4 different positions, that you hold for 1 minute on each side. If you are interested in checking it out the pin is here.

I also found my workout routine on Pinterest. I do it every day before I go into the shower. The pin I got it from is here. I thought it would be a pretty easy workout, but it actually isn't as easy as I thought. The workout consists of jumping jacks, push ups, crunches, mountain climbers, and planking. I think this is the perfect overall workout.

I also want to try to fit a run or yoga in as much as possible. I know once school starts I'll be pretty busy, so I want to try to fit them in now.

Summer Workout: July

Source

I cannot believe June is over. It seems like it went by so fast. It also seems like I did absolutely nothing, especially in terms of working out. It's been hard to motivate me to workout. So I have decided to change the routine. I was going to do another weekly workout plan, but I don't find it working for me. I'm also going on vacation, so I'm trying to change my workout to accommodate that.
I'm going to start off by talking about my workout routine when I'm not on vacation. First of all, I'm going to try to run at least 3 times a week. The length I run will be determined on that day. I want to try to push myself, but with the heat, it's important not to push yourself too far.  Next I want to try to do yoga. I was going to do a plan on my Gain Yoga, but I can't keep up with it. I've decided to make my own plan instead. I've created about four or five different yoga "routines". This way instead of doing the same yoga everyday I can accommodate to my needs each day. 
When I'm on vacation, it's going to be harder for me to workout. I'm actually going on a road trip so I'm going to be riding in a car for long periods of time. I most likely will not have time to do yoga or go to the gym. I am, however, planning on going on hikes and walking around a lot. I want to try to fit some kind of fitness while I'm on vacation.
Next week, I'll be sure to give you my tips and tricks to keeping for during vacation.

Summer Workout: June



It is that time of year. Everyone is out of school, we're all going to the beach and the pool, and we want to look good. We also want to be fit and healthy. I have come up with this workout routine. I call it the "Summer Workout."Each month there will be a new workout calendar. Each week the workout routine increases. This routine is a combination of running and toning. I got all the ideas for the toning workouts from Mere on YouTube. I decided to make the routines increase each week, to push myself. However, if you find yourself struggling to complete a workout, do a much as you can without pushing yourself over your limit. 

To explain the workouts, I will start with the running. By the end of June, I have set my goal to be 2.75 miles, which is almost 5k. I want my pace to be around 8-10 minutes a mile. Each running day I increase by a quarter of a mile. For the toning portions of this workout, I will start off with stretches to improve flexibility. One day, I will do squats, plank, bicycles, double leg lifts, and jump lunges. The next day I will do wall sits, push ups, calf raises, mountain climbers, and single leg lifts. For the last day I do whatever workout I like the most or whatever I feel I need to work on. For more explanation on what these workouts are, you can watch Mere's video, or leave a comment below. I have left Saturday and Sunday open for rest days. However, feel free to switch the days up and change this plan according to your likings

By the end of the summer my goal is to complete this 12 week workout plan. I hoping to be able to run almost 7 miles at a 10 minute pace. Hopefully when school starts again I will be able to continue working out. 

I hope you enjoyed this new fitness routine. If you would like to download this routine click the link below and save the picture to your computer
