Another week, another workout log. The saga continues!
Fitness – I went back to 4 days a week upper body/lower body workouts, and took a week off of the Insanity plan. I like this weight training program because it targets the major muscles, and cycles between heavy lifting low reps, and moderate weight high reps. You get total all on all muscle fibers. I’m going to start the Max Intensity month, but I’m not sure if I want to continue the Insanity every day + weight training regimen. Since Insanity is a combination of cardio plus body weight exercises, I find myself overexerting my body. I’m going to follow the Max program, doing it 3 times a week. I’ll do a stairmaster session in the gym, and yoga as well. I will also go back to doing ab targeted exercises 3 times a week. I want the total body experience, but I also want to break monotony in my workout
Nutrition was so/so. Those damn Knicks drove me to drink this weekend, and being a holiday weekend, that didn’t help either. Overall I was pretty cool, as I’m not a heavy drinker. I did drink more juice than usual, which I primarily cut out of my diet in favor of water.
Results
I weighed in at 186.8, which is 0.6 heavier than last week. For the most part I’m in a holding patter, yet im starting to see more definition (becoming more visible). We got 34 days until Memorial Day (about 5 weeks), so it’s time to get into shred mode! I want to drink more water, incorporate more fish into my diet, restrict all forms of sugar (including fruits in small doses), and stick to my workouts. I’ve already seen how my body like to hold onto physical weight, so we shall see.
My main goal is to lose body fat. If I was 186 and had a low body fat percentage, I wouldn’t mind. My waist measurement remains at 33 which is good. I’m aiming for 32, just because that was a goal set and I want to trim as much size off my stomach as possible (although there isn’t much to go). I also found a site via Mens Health (bodpod.com) to get accurate body fat measurements! I’m going to research it and definitely make it happen! I’ll let you know how it goes.
Make that final push towards the summer!
