With the twins returning to preschool three days a week from 8:30am to 11:00am, I can finally add some strength training back into my fitness schedule without costing a fortune in daycare at the gym. This summer, my gym time has been sporadic at best. Thankfully I have kept up with my daily yoga, but I can’t say how happy I am to get back to a routine of strength training.
Just like I did with my clean eating, I’d like to be open and accountable for my fitness schedule as well. I am a very organized person, and schedules are the utmost important thing for me to stay on track. If you think I’m a dork, that’s okay, but this is how I get it done!
My gym has a cardio area with what I call a “child prison.” You don’t have to check your child into the actual daycare; you just put them in this little “play” area where you can watch them play while you are on the treadmill or the elliptical. I plan to do this the two days a week that the girls aren’t in preschool. I can let all three girls play while I do an hour of cardio! During the days the twins are in school, I have an hour of time to actually workout after I drive there and check Corah into daycare. I plan to do 45 minutes of weights and 15 minutes of high intensity interval training (HIIT) cardio. On Fridays, I have a bible study group during the preschool hours that is more important than working out. Luckily on Fridays my chiropractor does a “workout with the doc” where I can get a KICK BUTT workout in. If our schedule permits, I am hoping to do a cardio and total body strength training session on Saturdays.

YAY for schedules! My goal is to be STRONG! I am thankful to have you come along this journey with me! Accountability is the best way to get anything done! Let’s encourage each other!
