I work shifts at work and this week I was working 11am-7pm which is my absolute least favourite shift. You get home later than is ideal, I can't do many classes and you don't even get much time in the morning.
So this week, I have cycled to work and back 3 times. Its a nice easy ride there which is manly downhill and only takes about 20 minutes which means I get to leave an extra 30 minutes later than if I am getting the bus in. Yay!
The way back is a bit more challenging and takes me roughly 30 minutes to do. There is a lot that is up hill, its not steep but its just a constant slope which really starts to take its toll after a while. When I first started cycling to and from work I used to always have to take a break or 2 to get me home and I would always end up walking some of it. Thankfully now I can do it with out that and if I do need to break for a moment it is only for 10-15 seconds and then I am fine to tackle the rest.
I have only done two classes this week and no swimming.
The first class was an aquasize class which is essentially water aerobics. I used to go to it all the time a couple of years ago, at least once or twice a week but then my exercising stopped and I haven't been since starting again last April. I found in the past it left me really tired me and I just generally found it a challenge, however I found it no problem at all. I found it to be a really good toning class but to be honest not something that really got my heart rate going.
The second was my usual Sunday 20-20-20 class. Its roughly 20 minutes aerobics, 20 minutes weights/toning 20 minutes floor stuff (legs, bums and tums). Its really fun and because its short bursts of it good if you have got a short attention span.
So lots booked for next week to keep the exercise up!
