Feeling Good

I am generally feeling pretty good about the balance I have right now in my workouts and in my schedule. It is a full schedule but the addition of hot yoga and a bit less running has left me physically feeling good. Since my last post, I took this past Friday off. On Saturday, I taught spinning at the spa and had about 6 people. I then went to Dynamic Fitness and did hot yoga for an hour. (I did three hot yoga classes last week) I am not sure if I will do three yoga classes a week but I will do at least two and maybe three. On Sunday, I ran outside for about 11 k. Monday this week I did hot yoga again and it was the hardest class I have done so far. It was very difficult and that is bearing in mind that I am quite fit. My schedule or plan right now is to do 3 swims per week on my own; at least three runs either outside or on the treadmill; 2 or 3 yoga classes and 3 spinning classes. On top of that, I will do weights and muscle building exercises at least twice a week. That will probably be 10-12 hours a week which is about all I reasonably have time for. I have been starting to think about triathlon season and in late February/early March I will get my bike trainor going a bit. With the addition of yoga to my routine, I am definitely feeling the benefits of the adage that "a change is as good as rest."
