Workout Update

100 Workouts in 100 Days Project

Days: 61
Workouts: 57

So clearly I'm not where I wanted to be at this point, but I'm closer! I have to confess though, that this week has taken it ALL out of me...between lost sleep over the time change and various other life stresses, I am just going to hang on for dear life until Friday!
New projection: will be at 67 workouts on day 66!

You may be wondering, what do said workouts consist of? Well, I have started a 10-month program designed by Alwyn Cosgrove ( ) which consists of 3 full-body strength training workouts per week. On the off days I am doing a smattering of  "cosmetic" training, that is, working on all the stupid little muscles that I'd like to see grow in order to look good, along with taekwondo specific drills for speed and agility. So my weekly schedule looks more or less like this:

M/W/F workout 1: full-body strength
M/W/F workout 2: steady state cardio (usually a triathlon-style brick workout; 45min bike followed immediately by a 15min run)

T/R  workout 1: Agility circuits
T/R workout 2: Arms and shoulders isolation work (chasing after the elusive coconut-shaped delts I covet!)
T/R workout 3: Taekwondo class

Saturday: Sparring class

Sunday: Long outdoor run

Obviously I'm not getting 14 workouts in every week...but that's what I shoot for.
