I’ve been doing completely different exercise routines for the last 3 weeks. The main reason is because I’ve been getting bored. As you know, I’ve done the P90X and Insanity programs, which are awesome. I graduated from those and got great results. I wanted more variety, and loved the gym, so for this year I’ve been weight training. My biggest challenge is getting cardio sessions. I haven’t been able to get up in the morning in time to do AM cardio the past couple of weeks (yes excuses), so I do it after weight lifting. Then I get to the gym, do a grueling superset/triset workout, look at the cardio machines, and say “F*ck School”.
I have a lot fo nagging little injuries that I need to rest as well. There was a point where I wanted to do 2 a day cardio (and still do), but my body is getting super fatigued, which can be counter productive to my fitness goals. The contest is going well, but I fear my weight zig zag is rearing its ugly head once again. Consistency is key.
What I decided to do is to pace myself. Give myself overall fitness goals, and give myself a week to reach them. If I say cardio 4x a week, I meet that goal in however way possible. Anything after that is extra credit. If I have to go to a lower impact weight workout to give myself more energy for the cardio after, so be it. My workout and fitness logs have shown me that overexertion doesn’t pay off. I want quick results but forget about the work it takes. Slow and steady, but it’s time to end excuses and make it happen. Think of every cliché in the book and I mean that, lol. Seriously, in my mind there’s no way that after 6 weeks of my current program I havent reached my 180 goal. 185 is like my floor and then I go back up. Once I hit the 185 number it’ll be time to seriously buckle down and push through plateaus and to 180. I can’t wait.
Streetz are you going to try Insanity Asylum? I hear it makes the original Insanity look like sanity hahahahahahahaha.
LOL nope… ima chill on that. Maybe in 2012
You could do cardio before weights. That way you make sure you get it in, and your muscles are warm for lifting.
My homeboy has Insanity Asylum. That sh*t is bananas. I'll probably get that for the "30 in 2012" new year workout plan.
Cardio before weights is a no-no. Always has been. Would rather do it in the am and weights in PM.
Yeah that Asylum looks ridiculous
