Taking Time To Timetable

Hey guys! Earlier in the week I shared with you the first post in my health and fitness reboot, and I wanted to share with you a tool Iā€™ve been using to get back on track with my exercise regime.

As youā€™ll remember, a few months ago I was feeling pretty disillusioned with my fitness routine, after completely wiping myself out on an intense circuit training schedule that left me feeling drained. After a few months of being on a more flexible and varied schedule, I realised that the variety was doing me good, both in the fitness and mental department.

Taking Time To Timetable

But the true revelation was how much I enjoyed, and needed, the the actual process of doing an interesting timetable for my workouts! What helps so much these days is (when I have time) toĀ take an hour out on Sunday to timetable all my workout classes/sessions. It’s something I need to get back to in thisĀ reboot!Ā You guys might be like ā€˜duh Genevaā€™ but this timetabling process has been such a fun and inspiring revelation for me.

Timetable Tips

Keen to start being more diligent with planning your weekly workouts? Yay! Let’s do this together.Ā Here are some tips.

Be realistic: Donā€™t overwhelm yourself by planning to do something everyday if you know you canā€™t, as youā€™ll quickly feel like youā€™re running behind. Instead, work out a realistic number of activities and just pencil those in. Any additional are a bonus!

Be consistent: Make your schedule at the same time every week, I try to do it no matter whether Iā€™m at home on the sofa, on a plane or on a deck chair.

Set reminders: Keep your timetable where you can see it and set daily reminders for what you want to do that day if you need to.

Follow your mood: The timetable is key but if one day youā€™re not feeling it donā€™t beat yourself up, it should be more about self love than self punishment!

Choose fun activities: A timetable is only as strong as your desire to do whatā€™s on it, so try to fill it with actual enjoyable activities rather than things you hate but think you should be doing.

Investing In Activewear

Another tool Iā€™ve been using to get me to stick to my workout regime? Activewear. Iā€™m a complete addict now! I used to think it was silly to invest in nice workout gear, butĀ  over time Iā€™ve realised just how motivating it is to feel good in what youā€™re wearing at the gym. It totally makes you want to go more. Gone are the days of Geneva in a baggy t-shirt, now I spend a little more on Adidas by Stella McCartney crop tops, Grana leggings and Nike sneakers, and my workout certainly benefits. I find that most activewear lasts so long, and you wear it so much, itā€™s a worthwhile investment.

Timetable

Free Timetable Download!

To help you get inspired for your next workout, or week of workouts (!), weā€™ve created fourĀ downloadable workout timetables. You can either printĀ and stick them into your diary, or decorate and save to your phone.. I use Instagram stories as a way to annotate and decorate, then save to my phone and then set as a wallpaper so I am always reminded of what I plan to do for the coming weekĀ  You can download the files here.

Sharing this weekā€™s Timetable

Ok so I may not have a Victoria Secret body as yet but this new routine has improved my flexibility, Iā€™m sleeping better and overall Iā€™m so much happier. Yay!

In case youā€™re wondering what nextĀ week looks like (I got in early!), see below:

  • Monday – HIIT Training (New research is showing more and more benefits, so even if Itā€™s my least favourite I still do it!)
  • Tuesday – 5km hikeĀ 
  • Wednesday – Ā vinyasa flowĀ 
  • Thursday – Vinyasa Flow
  • Friday – HIIT Training
  • Saturday – 8km hike
  • Sunday – Vinyasa Flow

Yoga has also become a key element of my routine, as you can see, and I hate to be one of *those people* but I just love it so much. Iā€™m actually (a bit) getting better too guys which is amazing…. Time to book it in!
