So yesterday I skipped pilates class because I decided it was best to catch up on lost sleep and not burn out barely 4 weeks into the term. Also stomach cramps need not be further aggravated by core exercises!
I'm thinking that from next Monday I try out stepping up my gym routine from just walking to a walk/run workout as described here by Shape magazine. As a non-runner, I often pooh-pooh my friends who get on the treadmill and run their butts off for like 5km everyday, but it seems to be a good way to increase overall metabolism. I usually just walk at a fast pace on an incline. Also, this plan gives me a schedule to follow for 6 weeks so I don't get bored and can pace the intensity through the week.
Try not to laugh if you see my running in the gym. I know it looks awkward, but I assure you I am more graceful in water than on land...
So now I go for aerobics class, get home and finish a case assignment due tomorrow afternoon. Who said Wednesday's were slack days? I've been busy all afternoon with an upcoming team presentation. And there's always more on the way...off to class now! Hopefully I'll survive the crunchy cooldown...
