Always Have A Workout Plan

 Before I knew better, I would just got to the gym and hop on an elliptical machine, and flow down the row of selectorized weight machines (you know, the ones you sit on and they move in only one direction to work one specific muscle).  BORING!  But, that was what I knew. So that is what I did.  

After I got so totally bored with that, I ventured into taking group fitness classes. Back then, it was a mix between Hi/Lo dance aerobics, and Step classes (in the 1990s).  But the good thing was, I just had to follow along. Why? Because the instructor had the plan! I didn't have to think of what exercise came next. I just had to watch and repeat.

Then, early on in college, I became a group fitness instructor, where I learned that for every class I taught, I needed a plan! If I didn't know the kickboxing moves that came next, or what water aerobics exercises to do with the music, I felt like I was gypping out the class of their workout, and the 45 minutes seemed like an eternity.

But still, when it came to my own workouts, unless I was in a group class setting, I was still "winging it" and doing the same ole boring routine in the gym.

I've always believed that "when you know better, you do better." So, today, I'd like to share my secret with you, after being a personal trainer for over 15 years. 

My secret now to every single workout that I do for myself is that I never go into it without a plan. I pretend as if I am teaching a class, or instructing a client. I build out the workout for myself so that when I start, I can flow effectively from exercise to exercise, without stopping to think "what do I do next?"  

Have you ever wasted time because you don't have your list of exercises to complete in your workout? Or are you scrolling youtube for different workouts and exercises to do mid-workout?

If you have (which I assume is most of us), I wanted to share with you a really special 8 Day Training Plan I put together to celebrate the 8th anniversary of the Trainer In Your Back Pocket® program. I am calling it the 8 Day Magic Makeover, because your health is more than just a fitness plan. It's about nutrition, wellness, movement, and more. So, I put it all together in one plan that you can do! It's a blueprint that you can use without having to do the "planning" work yourself!
