So, how did I do with last week’s Manic workout schedule?

Here was my plan:

Monday – 5:30pm spin, 8 min. abs, pushup challenge – DONE!

Tuesday – 1 hour long power walk, light strength training – DONE!

Wednesday – elliptical for 45 minutes, 8 min. abs, pushup challenge

Thursday – spin at 545am, light strength training

Friday – elliptical for 30 minutes, leisurely bike ride for 30 minutes, 8 min. abs, pushup challenge

Saturday – spin at 8am

Sunday – 1 hour bike ride (weather permitting), 8 min. abs, pushup challenge

And here’s what I actually did:

Monday – 5:30pm spin, 8 min. abs, pushup challenge

Tuesday – 1 hour long power walk, light strength training

Wednesday – elliptical for 45 minutes, 8 min. abs, pushup challenge

Thursday – 20 minute walk

Friday – rest day

Saturday – spin at 8am

Sunday – 30 minute light walk

All in all, I feel good because I didn’t follow the workout exactly to plan but I listened to my body and did what felt right.  I also learned to exercise in the morning and felt great initially in the beginning of the week, but then was dragging by the end of the week.  I think because for me to workout in the am I have to start by 5:15 since I have to leave for work by 6:50am… its a bit of a stretch, so we’ll see if I can keep it up!

My plan for this week since I’m traveling is not going to be structured at all.  During this trip we go from 7:15am until 10pm at night every day except for Friday, so I’m going to be exhausted and trying to fit in exercise is going to be tough.  I’m hoping to just focus on eating right and getting in as much activity as possible.  I brought my P90X Kempo X dvd with me to do one or two mornings in my hotel room and I’m hoping to hit the gym in the hotel one or two mornings, we’ll see how I do!

How do you fit in exercise with a jam-packed schedule?  Do you sacrifice sleep or do you focus on better nutrition instead?
