During the summer months I try to do as much physical activity outside as possible. I stop doing aerobics and start running, walking, biking, hiking, gardening, dancing ect. I do one hour of planned exercise a day and then try to be active with my kids and chores.
Mondays: Run 1 hour
Tuesdays: weight class and walking (I usually walk the kids somewhere like the park or library about 2-3 miles)
Wednesday: Run intervals or hills - 30-40 minutes, stretch.
Thurday: Weight class and walking
Friday: pilates and 30 minute run
Saturday: long run 9-10 miles or so
I run anywhere from 20-30 miles a week depending on how often I make it to the gym (if I miss weights for example I'll run more). I love my T/Th weight class at the rec center. It seems like if I can do something everyday I just function better, my house is cleaner and I have more energy and purpose. For me more than an hour a day is too much. I get too tired to do my mom jobs. I used to workout 2 hours plus a day and then I would be exhausted and have no energy for my kids. I try to make the rest of the day as active as possible with my kids and I am exhausted by nighttime.
