My new workout schedule.

I made this schedule considering a bunch of sources on the web that I've read, so hopefully I've covered all the areas necessary. I'll try it out and see how everything goes - I might make changes here and there if I feel that certain things need tweaking.

I've included cardio exercises such as running/jogging and the elliptical machine, I also added in a Zumba class to try - I'm not the biggest fan of dancing but we'll see if I like it or not. For toning I have compiled a circuit to hit all the target areas (based on a circuit done by Megan Fox) and then I've alternated my days with yoga so that I get additional toning and sculpting.

Weekly workout:

Monday: Toning Circuit x 3
                         - crunches (30 seconds)
                         - hypertensions (30 seconds)
                         - reverse crunch (30 seconds)
                         - lateral crunch right (30 seconds)
                         - lateral crunch left (30 seconds)
                         - plank (30 seconds)
                         - ball leg lifts (30 seconds)
                         - lateral plank right (30 seconds)
                         - lateral plank left (30 seconds)
                         - side ab bends (30 seconds)
                         - rest (90 seconds)
         Running/jogging (10 minutes)
         Elliptical Machine (30 minutes)
         Stretch (10 minutes)

Tuesday: Yoga

Wednesday: Toning circuit x 3
           Running (10 minutes)
           Elliptical machine (30 minutes)
           Stretch (10 minutes)
           OR
           Zumba (1 hour)

Thursday: Yoga

Friday: Weight training (45 minutes)
        Run (20 minutes)
        Stretch (10 minutes)

Saturday: Yoga

Sunday: Rest day

I know I only have one day of weight training but I figured with all the yoga I'll be doing a lot of work training with my own body weight? I'm sure it'll work out fine.

Wish me luck!
