8-Week Weight Lifting Routine

Cardio Kickboxing doesn't seem like it is going to happen yet due to scheduling problems so I got tired of being inactive and am now starting my 8 week weight lifting program.

One of the main problems I have is being consistent going to the gym. It was a lot easier to do Beachbody Insanity at home because I had no excuse - the gym was right in the garage! However, going to an actual gym is different. Going to the gym means, I need to manage my time better, I might be getting home later, dinner will be much later than normal, so on and so forth.

How can I stay motivated and stick to the 8 week program?
I honestly don't know but I hope writing about it will keep me physched about it :D.

NEW Beachbody Insanity Round 2 Hybrid Workout Routine

I have started Round 2 of the Beachbody Insanity workout program and decided to mix it up a bit. I don't want to do 100% Insanity as I do love my gym and love the feeling of lifting weights. This is what I am proposing.

I will basically be following the Insanity Calendar and the workouts there, but throughout the week I will be doing weight lifting and cardio at the gym. On average I expect to do 3 Insanity workouts and 3 Gym workouts per week (and 1 rest day on Sunday). For the sake of time I will also be skipping the "Cardio Recovery" workout. This workout will probably last for about 120 days - 4 months total.

In terms of writing blog entries, I will be writing the titles as "Day X of 63" for all of the Insanity workouts. For gym workouts I will write a title like "Back Workout" without any numbering.

Workout Calendar (to be finalized):
Mondays - Weight Lifting
Tuesdays - Insanity Workout
Wednesdays - Outdoor day (sub for Cardio Recovery)
Thursdays - Weight Lifting
Fridays - Weight Lifting
Saturdays - Insanity Workout
Sundays - Rest / Make-up day

Let's hope this works out. I'll post pictures every 30 days to track my progress.
