Okay so after finally getting back to it after a brief layoff, I feel pretty good. I definitely "woke up" some muscles I haven't used in a while, but all in all, fell pretty good. One thing that is extremely important is to STRETCH !!!!!!
One thing that you will notice as you start to exercise is that your hunger will increase significantly over the first week or two. What I have noticed is that the first couple days back to lifting my hunger monster is on the hunt! The important thing to remember is that you can (and have to) feed the monster but with only the lean poor town people. Opt for eating proteins and plenty of vegetables. Try to stay away from a lot of pasta and bread if your aim is to lose weight. If you are trying to bulk up, pasta and breads are great for you. Stay away from the sweets, as they will defeat the purpose of working out.
Today up on the plan is 45 minutes of medium Cardio. I think I am going to do what I call the 'Deadly Medley" 3 segments of 15 minutes each of your choice of any of these pain machines:
StairMaster (Intervals, low interval - level 5, higher intervals start at 12, go up one level every high interval, level 19 or 20 for last interval.
Treadmill - 5 minutes at 5.3 - 5.9; increase incline to 6.0, 1 minute intervals at 6.0, low intervals at 3.4 (keep 6.0 incline)
Elliptical - Interval workout, resistance at 7-10, incline at 7-10
Stationary Bike - Hill profile, level 8+
I am usually less apt for the bike, as it doesn't burn as many calories, but great for cool downs or warm ups.
Im out!!
