Q: How do you eat an elephant?
A: One bite at a time.
Thats how I'm tackling my fitness situation. One day at a time, one work out at a time. One meal at a time.
Thankfully I've mastered my nutritional hurdles, and am even brewing a plan to make my passions more prominent in my life...but I'll save that for another time.
I've kept up with the gym going every other day, incorporating cardio and weight training. I am going to start going every day, alternating cardio and strength training in a few days. And I also plan on breaking out of my routine.
Generally I'll start with about 30 minutes of cardio, followed up by alternating sets in a circuit at the gym. Arms, legs, back, chest repeat. I'll do 2 sets of 15 on a medium weight- and between sets do pulses of 20 to push the muscle to failure.
Immediately after each session at the gym I'll have a whey protein shake, and or an egg.
My plan is to take each day and do something different but keep the focus on cardio or weights. I think tomorrow I'll make my focus cardio- and do 25 minutes on the elliptical, 15 minutes on the stair climber and then 15 minutes on the rowing machine.
The following day will be weights with a focus on my legs and chest.
Then a cardio day with the treadmill for 30 min, and then the bike for 30 min.
Repeat and rest on the 5th day.
I will check in to share how this works out.
Ideally this isn't to get skinny, but to get back in touch with my body and health.
My plan is to also integrate juicing on an extreme level: Buying a Vita-mix. Not only does this increase the benefits of juicing by liquifying the WHOLE fruit and vegetable, but it's also easier to clean than a juicer.
KICKING it up a few notches.
