Why do I train in the evening?

For the most part I train in the evenings.  Not straight after work, but usually after about 7pm.  There are a few reasons for this:

I am and always have been a night owl

The gym isn’t packed

I don’t feel rushed

It keeps me from sitting on the couch thinking about food!

I do train at lunchtime some weekdays, but those sessions are obviously time-short, so mostly I prefer to train in the evening without feeling rushed.  Weekends are more flexible and I work my gym and cardio around my family and other commitments.  Everyone is different, so just do what works for you!  :-) 

This week has included:

A great physio session to get my body feeling balanced again

Some good strong training sessions

Removing carbs from my menu

Getting my routine choreography sorted

Competition day is fast approaching!  I’m feeling really good, but need to make sure I get more cardio in to reduce the old body fat percentage.  I also want more definition in my legs this time so putting some extra energy there.  I have some great support which I’m so thankful for, but this time feels a bit different as I’m really doing it on my own.  I don’t know what I’m up against in my category, and the name (WFF Miss Extreme Body – Physique) is pretty scary in itself, lol!  From what I can tell (and I may be wrong) the majority of ladies enter either Bikini or Figure so I’m not really sure what to expect.  But as long as I step on stage knowing that I’ve given it my all, I’ll be proud.  Have a great week!  :-)
