Yesterday i picked up the keys with my roommate for his new place. This week i will be helping him with planning what to do with his house (cleaning, furniture etc.) and helping him move in. I hope by next week he is fully moved in (if everything goes well of course) (and it never does LOL). It is difficult for me now to focus on working out and stuff now that i know my roommate will be gone soon. I am just already excited for the fact that i can workout at home again. This will make it easier to workout on Wednesdays for me at least. And also i can stretch daily again now. That alone already makes me excited lol. I found some amazing stretch videos that are only 10-20 minutes long that i can do daily.
It has also been harder pushing myself to go to the gym cause i don't have my gym buddy now, which kind of sucks. But eh. Once my roommate is gone i can focus on cleaning up my place, that alone will already make it easier to focus on working out and going to the gym. I am just thinking about how i want to structure my workout days. I already am not at the gym as long as i was with my gym buddy. Especially when i don't warm up i can easily be done at the gym in 45 minutes. Now that i can workout at home i can also do other exercises at home or when i come back from the gym. I still think i want to keep Mondays and Fridays for the gym, maybe even Tuesdays. Since soon i will have something to do on Tuesday afternoon (until 3 at least), so then afterwards i can go to the gym, since i am outside already. I need to get ready for those appointments so maybe Tuesdays will be easier for me to just go then. I guess that is an ADHD thing or something. Or maybe just a normal human thing. If on Monday i just have to walk my dog and i can work at home, i don't have to wear nice clothes or look presentable. If on Tuesday i have my meetings i have to wear nice clothes and look presentable, so when i go to the gym afterwards i will probably feel more confident. So i guess i will do that.
I am also thinking about doing cardio again. Maybe running at night, and also maybe biking to my grandparents at least once or twice a week. It is a 5KM/3mile bike ride there and back so 10km/6miles in total. The ride takes about 20-30 minutes (depending on the wind), and if i do cardio specifically i would probably do it for about 45 minutes to an hour. So it is about the same. And that way i can see my grandparents which is nice. I can also decide to do those bike rides after my meetings on Tuesday, depending on the weather and how i feel. And if i went to the gym on Mondays. So yeah, a lot of options, opportunities, and things to think about lol.
Here is the workout that i wrote down some time ago from Willy where he said it blew up his legs. He quit doing normal squats and went onto leg press and hack squats to blow up his legs. I think i will still do normal squats until i am happy with the weight i reach for that, and then move on to smith machine squats (since my gym does not have a hack squat machine). I think i will use his leg workout routines as a guideline to structure mine.
