Transcript: What Happens After Day 365? My Plan to Keep Moving

So what are your plans for after day 365? What's

up you guys? Famous Ashley Grant here. Welcome

to More Movement Please, the podcast where I

hope to inspire you to move your body more. Today

I want to talk about what happens after I hit

day 365. Because you may be wondering, and so

am I. Well, sort of. I kind of know what I want

to do, but I still want to talk about it. My

current plan is to continue on with the Mondays,

Fridays, Saturdays classes of Zumba and low impact

cardio and toning after the one year mark. Like

that is still like my favorite way to work out

is doing Zumba. I absolutely love Zumba. And

I've told you guys that I'm really enjoying the

fact that I am doing the weightlifting. So that

will definitely continue. Outside of that. I'm

not sure, honestly. I know that I fully intend

to move my body for at least an hour every single

day. That is a goal of mine that I will not let

go of. I do fully intend to move my body every

single day. How I will be doing it, that I don't

know yet. Part of me still thinks that I'll be

doing stretch classes every single day because

I really have been enjoying stretch classes like

immensely. They've been helping me with mobility.

They've been helping me to not feel so stiff

in the mornings. It's definitely become one of

my favorite things to do whenever I first wake

up in the morning. It helps me get up at myself,

get completely awake. In terms of other classes,

I don't know if I will be doing classes or if

I will just be doing, you know, my own thing.

I don't think I'll ever stop. doing some form

of group fitness because I've told you guys before

and I'll tell you again my favorite thing to

do is group fitness I get an absolute kick out

of that I love it and something about working

out with other people in the same room as you

it it gets you more motivated it helps you to

really get jazzed up about what you're doing

and I don't know man it's like it's it's one

of those things where at on the days that I'm

tired being around other people really helps

me to give more effort than I would if I was

trying to do it at home. And I really, that's

why I got to be around people. So, but in terms

of classes the rest of the week, I know I'll

be doing stretch classes every day, but I don't

know, honestly, what. what kinds of classes I'll

do. I do know that I will be doing a minimum

of an hour of movement every single day. I do

want to incorporate more weightlifting, but I

don't know how that's going to shake out in terms

of how I'll be doing it each week. Honestly,

one of the things I've been thinking about is

since I'll already be at the gym and lifting

weights on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays, I'm

thinking that I might just add more weightlifting

on those days. The main reason that I'm considering

just adding more on those days is because I'm

already going to be doing the weightlifting.

And there is something to be said for the recovery

that you have if you don't weightlift as much

as I have been. That's part of the reason why

I decided to drop from five days a week down

to three at the gym is because I just felt like

I was doing just a little bit too much weightlifting.

Now, some people may disagree with this. I know

I know at least one person who definitely disagrees

with this idea. But I feel like for me right

now, I just I need to have a little bit more

muscle recovery time. That doesn't mean I want

to have less movement, though. I've said that

before and I'll say it again. I do want to be

moving my body every single day, but I'm trying

to be cognizant of what my body needs right now.

And I feel like that the weightlifting has to

be just on a. on three days a week. I may kick

it back up to four or five. I'm not sure. It'll

just kind of depend on how things go. But yeah,

that's where I'm at. That's my current plan.

And I'm open to ideas. I think that it'd be so

cool if I could add in additional Zumba classes.

Unfortunately, my current instructor only teaches

Zumba classes three days a week. I have considered

going to other locations that do it additional

days, but... There is a very high likelihood

that I'll just actually be doing some Zumba classes

at home. I told you guys I've already been doing

Zumba throughout the day whenever I like am in

a funk or if I just feel like I've been sitting

at my desk too long. I've been doing more Zumba

dances like throughout the week. any moment that

I feel like I just need a little bit of extra

movement or just want to smile more or dance

more or whatever. So that's really been enjoyable

to me. So I guess I'll just keep you posted.

As I promised you guys, I would continue being

as transparent as possible in this journey. I

will still be doing a weekly accountability update,

just letting you guys know what I did for the

week. And if you're in the group, you'll be seeing

all my posts about, you know, what I'm doing

and what my movement looks like. And if you want

to share what you're doing and what your movement
